Spirit At Choice Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Here is a very long, but interesting article from No Nonsense Self-Defense out of Colorado. I specifically noted the differentation between "legally defined self-defense" and what some martial artists teach as self-defense techniques. It would beinteresting to do a state-by-state research project.I also got a little piqued by his reference to Bunkai as being a cult tactic... anything can be abused, but he didn't specify that Bunkai has it's legitimate uses. A non-martial artist wouldn't know the difference based solely on this article.No Nonsense Self Defense: Martial Arts Cults White belt mind. Black belt heart....Rejoice and be glad!

Sohan Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I've seen his site before. He makes some very good points, but his ego overshadows his writing. Seems a little paranoid, if you ask me.Respectfully,Sohan "If I cannot become one of extraordinary accomplishment, I will not walk the earth."

cathal Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 I tend to agree with Sohan the author seems opinionated, and the content seems almos derivative. .The best victory is when the opponent surrendersof its own accord before there are any actualhostilities...It is best to win without fighting.- Sun-tzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainbow_Warrior Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I made a post in the chinese MA section...A friend of mine is in a Pseudo pa kua cult...he is all the day inside the damn building , and pays a lot of money...and they wash his brain with fake meditation (very common in cults , kind of mental control) ´´ The evil may win a round , but not the fight ´´ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
