GTF Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 i thought that the word martial ment something to do with war so wouldnt they all be designed for combat?

ElbowTKO Posted December 1, 2005 Author Posted December 1, 2005 thats true but many of them are useless now because they were used in a different context than now Aikido have names for techniques like "heaven and earth."which represents the creation of the universe along with a philosophical meaning.Muay Thai have names for techniques like "closing the lamp", which means "punch him in the eye."
Socratic_Sifu Posted December 10, 2005 Posted December 10, 2005 That was the most ridiculous display I have ever seen outside a comedy club! When fear is removed, the arrogance of uncertainty is dispelled and it is therefore no longer necessary to prove yourself in any form of combat. By learning how to fight, you learn how not to fight.
Flying_Tiger Posted December 21, 2005 Posted December 21, 2005 hmmmmm....I must admit that the excessive screaming expends alot of energy, but I think I would at least be taken aback by someone doing that kind of stuff. I also have to agree that there was some regular motion, like a kata(?), as was demonstrated in the middle-ish of the video (two guys doing same attacks). As to combat effectiveness, I would think that they could beat the average person, who has little or no martial training, but against a veteran fighter who isn't intimidated easily....I dunno. I beat they have good lung capacity though. Inspector: Well, you have two options, either you come in peace, and prepare to be dissected. Or, if you come to take over our planet, we surrender. Zoidberg: A win win scenario! Who cares! I'm meeting new people!
Socratic_Sifu Posted December 21, 2005 Posted December 21, 2005 I must admit that there was in fact, some method to the madness but, wow! I watched it again just to get a good laugh! When fear is removed, the arrogance of uncertainty is dispelled and it is therefore no longer necessary to prove yourself in any form of combat. By learning how to fight, you learn how not to fight.
CTTKDKing Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 That looked more like a comedy act off mad tv than a martial arts demo. Their attacks were very wasteful for the energy side of things, and the keep attacking the same several spots repeatedly over and over. They look rediculus.

Mr. Mike Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 looks like somebody just stopped at the rehab clinic and dropped three pounds of crack and a bunch of sticks and said "here ya go...go nuts!"

Red J Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 Was this the Asian version of the "Three Stooges" martial arts camp? I had to lose my mind to come to my senses.
