Whose contributions are greater--West or East?

[47MartialMan]

The operative word here is greater. That is almost immesurable and open to interpretation, because what each of us values personally, others may not consider a contribution at all. Myself... I don't really care about the origins of a style, just if it is effective for me and how I can make it work, a question to ask is if one contribution is greater and one is lesser does it really affect anything?

 

Interesting point.

 

Interpretations/Mis-interpretations-It is how either is conveyed pr received.

 

Hmmmn... what was interesting is why and how does Sasori_Te know about "trolltrain"....hmmmnnn

i find it interesting that you insist that the simple date/note of a time-period (that i am have asked for numerous times) is a vast amount of info that would be too big to post.

as i read in blackbelt magazine once that the right brain said is emotional like the east and the left mathematical/pragmatic like the west.weird coincidence.

SevenStar,

 

However, about the relevance of the depth, to the formidability of Chinese martial arts, I would say that if after what seem to be years of MA experience you don't know this, then if I answer, you will either not understand or not agree. Either way, this will lead to a prolonged discussion that will not go anywhere, as I have seen it happen with you and others, in other threads.

 

I would understand, but wouldn't agree. You are correct, however - it could be a long, drawn out discussion. It would definitely get somewhere, though. that's the point of a forum - we're not gonna agree on averything. heck, when it comes to the ideas of many TMAs, I will disagree on most things - but in the end, everyone has learned something.
