They put it down to her playing squash. When physically fit the...

It may indeed have been a subconcious decision to take a blow on the head, if Ben had been doing just that in practice while wearing armour, and imagining he was being hit with a sword.

There are far too many subforums in e-budo. This hampers cross-art communication.

In the good old days this wasn't the case, when e-budo was alive and kicking.

The aim of this sort of punch is to bang one of your opponents very hard.

The trick is in the surprise. As the first guy comes in to bash you, you step away and bang his first accompice very hard....

Kaenzig you broke the first rule of fighting.

If you win a fight, or even an argument, then get out of there. Or you'll have to win another, harder fight pretty soon after.

Nobody should create a new art.

Set up a school if you think you are good enough.

If other people can see the difference between your school's style and another's, they can call it "Bob's...

Rickster, good on you.

I regularly played the "You bang me as hard as you can, I'll bang you as hard as I can" game. We called it boxing.

I got TKO'd by a solar plexus strike during sparring...

Thanks for making my day.

As far as I am aware ,the Keysi Fighting Method was pretty much created for the batman movie. They just wanted something that looked different, grimy, up close.

From what I know of stage fighting,...

Wow! Just like the good old days when there was proper debate on E-budo!

This is my take. Officer Bradley was responsible for what happened.

Since Uwumarogie had clearly lost his mind at the...

It should have been blue disqualified.

The throw comes out of a failed Uchimata / O-uchi-gari with a makikomo hold from white.

Then the pickup and roll counter from blue. Which he accomplishes...

Oh dear! Most novice boxers get mistake 1 "Stare him out, with your hands by your sides" out of their system within the first 20 seconds of their first sparring session.

To his credit El Gringo...

This is not so different from the "Is snooker/billiards a sport or a game?" debate.

Snooker needs a certain amount of physical skill, but a lot of that skill is quite refined rather than...

That's called a bokken isn't it? :)

All martialarrrrrtz sux!

If Bruce Lee fights Karotty he wins, cos Kun Fu is bestest but not all Kun Fu just his cos he could do 1 inch punch!!!!! Ha!

Thankfully the rank=pay thing doesn't always hold true.

I work as a contractor mostly because companies don't want to pay me more than my boss. So I work as an independent, and they pay me what...

No problem. I guessed you'd be free after the Olympics had been watched.

Same here.

How do 1 and 2 differ in substance?

Also you forget

Hi Mike!

I'm up for a drink. How about tomorrow night (Friday 18th July 2008)?

To everybody else: I know this should be done on P.M. but anything to increase activity on the board (and up my...

It's OK but I doubt it will increase the post count. May I suggest merging some of the subforums? Although every post can be moved to a neat little box it kind of kills off cross-fertilisation. Why...

Ashida Kim vs. Jack Sparrow.

They could call it Ninjas vs. Pirates.

Well, well, well.

So the Aussies couldn't scrum for toffee. I can't believe England won that match, but they did.

I didn't see France beat New Zealand. Pity.

Scotlands attempt at a kick pass...

I think that understanding the relationship between rules and arts is about the most important factor in avoiding the beleif that what you train is the "be all and end all" of martial arts.
