Another poll! (XMA)

[Mu Ryuk]

Maybe they could call it "Xtreme Super Happy Jumpy Flippy Pseudo-Fighting"? It's just a thought.

 

Hm...has a nice ring to it

[Drunken Monkey]

......right.......

 

so should we call

 

wing chun; the hand slapping style?

 

wrestling; the one where guys who crawl on the ground grabbing each other's balls?

 

karate; the art of making funny noises?

 

escrima; the art of morris dancing?

 

sorry, but there is no need to ridicule them just cos you don't agree with what they do, not even in jest.

 

saying that you don't think they should use 'martial art' is enough.

 

there's no need to push it further.

 

especially seeing as there aren't any xma guys here to make their defense.

Drunken Monkey:

 

I have read and enjoyed your posts for quite a while and I respect your opinion. If my attempt at humor has offened you I am sorry.

BTW I thought that your alternate names for other arts was pretty funny, after all, if we cant laugh at ourselves...

...sorry if that came across as a bit harsh

 

as i really didn't mean it like that.

 

it's just that too many 'pick' on other styles,

 

which when substantiated is fine

 

but then to go that extra bit to actually insult or ridicule....

 

well, a bit too much in my opinion.

 

and um, i am not the first to realise,

 

that humour and insult tread a very fine line especially on a forum such as this.
