For the thread drift. I thought that I heard someone mention badgers.

Well for this thread, there is not mushroom for anything else apart from badges. I wonder if there is a badger ryu badge somewhere?
Gotta love the Dog Brothers, they have two of the best slogans ever:
"Higher consciousness through harder contact"
and
"Heart... Mind... Balls..."
LOL!

At least this one has an explanation - the bat symbol is used heavily by the Spetsnaz - who apparently created Systema.Originally Posted by Ed_morris
Spetsnaz didn't exactly create Systema. Systema just means system there are many Russian systems. My understanding is it's a generic term, bit like Kung Fu!Originally Posted by ScottUK
The Spetsnaz link is from the System that most of us in the west know as Systema, Rybako Systema. Developed by Mikhail Ryabko from his time in the Russian military and his contact with a member of the Sokoli Stalina.

Understand? Good me neither!
Bah nonsense. Through my extensive time spent as a member of Spetsnaz, I can prove otherwise, and therefore call shenanigans.

The official Ed McMann patch:
Christian MA with Japanese names and kanji is like ....
...well, it's like a dao symbol and a British Royal lion with Hangul.
thought this was 'NAFTA' at first...
