60+ km a day for Roman soldiers? Let's keep it that it's an exaggeration. :laugh: Besides: Neanderthal hominids don't count/cannot be compared to homo sapiens...
Furthermore: modern day athletes...
What a load of stupid [censored]. That's just acting nonsense. I've met some tai chi practitioner who knew his stuff, and which was true: trying to hit a cloud, getting hit is like being hit by a...
Nah, don't like fall out, let's respond with conventional political, economical and military means first. I know you guys like the occasional nuclear light show, but I like clean salad and non...
O btw, the rocket shield proposed by some in the US military: as far as I know, it doesn't work. Will it ever work? Martin van Creveld wrote a 'nice' review about it in his The Culture of War
Constitutions can be changed. And nukes can be used for 'self defense'
According to some analist, the Japanese and de South-Koreans could have them within half a year. They have the knowledge, and the material and the resources... Luckily, they've shown constraint so...
The communist regime in North-Korea has for the past years only remained in control thanks to dollars, oil, and support from the People's Republic of China and maybe even the Russians).
They...
If she looks like a red harlot: yes
:cool:
Every single mention of World War III is about as preposterous and populist as choosing a date for the Apocalypse.:D
hasn't this been discussed to death already?
It all depends on one's methodology. Chambering is a tool, just like any other. Some use it for grabbing an opponent's arm, others for the use of the whole body while blocking/punching. Or a...
Criminology isn't always as clear cut as people want it to be. Another trend in e.g. the Netherlands (in quite some respects comparable to Belgium) is that people are getting more sensitive towards...
No it isn't. Things like High School shootings and/or stabbings are percieved in Europe as 'an American phenomenon'.
Prospective student: Don't you have like, no contact karate?
Me: :laugh:
Reminds me of the Kung Fu hillbilly episode with Jerry Springer
not so strange, as all of those have very different rulesets, or are downright useless in a boxing match.
The only McDojo thing I've seen thus far, is a trainer who lets someone fight after only three days of training, that is downright insane and irresponsible.
The biggest fool however, is the boxer...
Olympic Games have a pussy set of mind... So daido juku would never make it :cry:
The vid 'proves' what I have stated already: that there are some shared techniques. The 'traditional martial artist' you mention is a 'striker' (karateka) not an aikidoka. How come? :up:
And what...
Purely hypothetical, you and I know that someone using aikido, or: having primarily trained in aikido, wouldn't win a MMA bout, although there are some locks in aikido that are used in MMA fights.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mcdojo
and http://www.bullshido.org/McDojo (basically the same text though) give you some ideas. There are no set requirements for a McDojo. Generally you could say...
Andrew,
I was only stating an ideal. I, a hardcore cynic in almost everything. Alas... karate will not be spared the hardships of existence.. :cry:
You might consider setting your tv on fire (if it's not a flat screen, but one of those old fashioned ones). The glass implodes nicely
Hear hear! Such a ruleset would completely change my view on the Olympics
Or even better (because more spectacular) daido juku rules :D
