cathal Posted August 13, 2006 Posted August 13, 2006 If you could get a group of famous martial artists in a room, and chat with them on their experiences, training, etc who would it be? I'm not referring to the television/film celebrities per se. But I am referring to the "big names" in martial arts history.I have so many names swirling around my head right now. I know that I'd love to chat with Flex Wheeler, Jackie Chan, and Master Dennis Brown to name just a few.Who would it be for you? .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
alsey Posted August 13, 2006 Posted August 13, 2006 the martial artist i would most like to speak to is miura takeyuki, the grandmaster of eishin ryu iaijutsu, but he's not really a big name.i would love to hang out with the gracies, they're all heroes. particularly royce, rickson, rorion and helio.there's also this random karateka, ian abernethy; he wrote the best book i have ever read on karate. but again, not a big name. "Gently return to the simple physical sensation of the breath. Then do it again, and again, and again. Somewhere in this process, you will come face-to-face with the sudden and shocking realization that you are completely crazy. Your mind is a shrieking, gibbering madhouse on wheels." - ven. henepola gunaratana
