Excellent. I don't visit WT enough to bother posting anything there. But I've got a private email list that will benefit from this.
Kit, can I repost this elsewhere?
Kit, with your face that won't help. Sorry, bud. You just don't have soft, beautiful features like I do.
Wouldn't it have made more sense if we didn't see the bushes and trees shaking during the ENTIRE advance of Mr. Mystic? Was he trying to demonstrate stealth, or anti-stealth?
...but it doesn't mean that anyone cares!:)
Very well, thanks. Wishing I could get back to the SW for another seminar.
Hi Billy,
Been a long time! Hope you're doing well.
Hi 1stdan, the concept you're talking about is commonly called the "21 ft rule" or in practice the "tueller drill" (after the guy who staged it to make the point). In truth, the distance can be more...
That is a very good intent. It would be nice if the word could be reclaimed for some realistic usage.
No, I pretty much agree with your assessment. I think it's necessary to differentiate how we wish to use the word "ki" with how it is often used in classical martial arts and some quasi-mystical...
What's your opinion of that, Kit? It rings true to me, but I don't think the word "ki" is adequate for such things.
Very good, Rick.
NICE! I love stories about people who fight back.
Great parody. I wonder what that aired on initially? You can hear a studio audience laughing in the background.
I saw this footage (or similar?) some months back. Really cool to hear her re-enact the event.
I think that's a good idea.
Precisely, but no one ever publishes the statemt "Murder isn't about killing." Because it's silly.
Murder is indeed about killing, and more. Rape is about sex... and MORE.
I agree that...
Ah, and sadism is sexual, right? without the element of sexual behavior, sadism becomes what?
I didn't argue that a rapist was interested in sexual gratification (whether he is or not is...
A physical rape cannot exist without sex. Control and domination can.
Rape isn't *entirely* about sex, but it is about sex. The rapist views sex as his way of getting his way.
What is rape...
The defining characteristic of rape is sex. You cannot physically rape someone without a sexual act. Therefore, it IS about sex.
You can debase and control with all manner of other acts, but you...
Good stuff. I found myself completely disagreeing with his assessment of "gender stereotypes" as cultural creations. I also disagree with the author because contrary to conventional wisdom, rape IS...
Guys, 'warming up' and 'conditioning' are very different things.
Warming up can be 5 minutes. It's easy, it's just light activity and light stretching of the muscles you can expect to use in...
I've heard that sentiment expressed before, but I disagree. In *training* you are pushing your body. Whenever you push your body physically you should take care to warm up properly. Otherwise you are...
Yes, I've heard it. I think it's just 'short-hand'.
