Hi Ivan, Don't worry too much about insulting anyone... I don't think you even came close! I love the enthusiasm, but it needs to be tempered a...
Put the weapons down. You have a little skill with the rope-dart, and you can do some tricks with nunchaku, but everything else was, simply,...
Hmm, I think this is the first time I've quoted an entire thread in one post.... Hi Ivan, To be honest, much of what you have written is, at...
Well, that's an incredibly different post to the one you put up originally.... and really, watch the art-bashing, as you're skirting pretty damn...
No. What you've found there is a modern interpretation of Joachim Meyer's 1570 treatise on weapon usage, which is where the quarterstaff material...
Dear lord..... I mean based on anything in regards to actual knowledge, experience, training, or anything that would give your words any weight...
The only point I'd make here is the comment that "folks who have been in wrestling, BJJ and probably MMA have a more intimate viewpoint". No,...
And... have you performed any of the Shinto Ryu exorcism rituals over these tomes.....? If not.... would you? Please? Ha! Oh, yeah, he's the...
How would you know? You have been here for weeks, at best.... have no clue who you're talking to... and have refused to actually read anything....
Sigh.... no, I'm simply suggesting that, if you can't follow the most basic of behaviours for a forum, you are not exactly adding value....
No, because that's how discussion forums work. Without it, there's no reason for you to be here. And you're talking to staff at the moment, fyi.
Then you're really clueless.... but really, a major point of advice. This is a discussion forum. If you don't want to read the discussion, leave.
My first instinct was to call you a child... is that better? You have no idea what you're talking about, and are arguing a strawman with no...
Wow. Dude. One more time. I am not a karate practitioner. Grappling does not equal ground work. The fact that you can't see that is your lack...
I've watched the videos. Read the actual argument, and realise you're arguing against something not being said.
So.... no, you can't read them... or, at least, be bothered reading. Great. Grappling is more than ground work. Karate has grappling (holds,...
Sigh.... have you tried reading what I've actually said? "This is closer to a street fight!" So what? Who said anything about application in a...
Son, I'm not "butt-hurt", nor am I a karate practitioner... and, yes, I do understand ground work. I also understand that ground work is a...
Oh dear.... seriously? You're coming with "have you ever been in a fight?" Really? Look, you're conflating terminology, and mis-applying it, as...
To what end? Look, if the aim is "look cool", or "have fun", then no problem at all. If it's anything at all to do with actual weapon usage, then...
And what, precisely, are "throws and takedowns" if not grappling? Oh, and you might be surprised as to just how familiar much of it is to judo,...
Since when does "grappling" mean only on the ground? Let's be clear here... it doesn't. In the early UFC, the commentators had to explain what...
While what you're saying has some merit, unfortunately you're coming into this 5 years after the fact, and without the requisite background in the...
Yeah.... Tanaka is a somewhat controversial figure... a lot of embellishment in his claims, bought rank/titles, and more... honestly, this is a...
Are they really different, though....? Or is it a different application of the same concept... He arrived late to the first two encounters with...
Yeah... you missed the point entirely. Again. Firstly, again, "being an expert" is not claimed... you stated that your friend could run away...
This'll be a bit. Steve, you have exactly no leg to stand on to suggest I "read for comprehension", nor any moral authority in anything here at...
Dear lord above........... This will be for pretty much all of you. Again, there are literally only two people here who know what they're talking...
Of Gorin no Sho? Yeah....... although I don't think any of them are without problems entirely. Presently, I'm using the William Scott Wilson and...
Firstly, it's not really a huge SD situation... but we're not getting into that. Secondly, NO. We are concerned with the lessons that are...
