"Usain bolt can't claim he is faster than me (on a bicycle / in a car / parachuting / carving a replica of the statue of David from canned cheese) until he beats me in a running race"

Speaking of Usain Bolt:

Yea, not to you, b/c your favorite style got Worldstarred. :D

Ok...

What is my favourite style?

What does "worldstarred" actually mean?

Are either of those chubby blokes representative of the norm for either system?


I'd actually be somewhat pushed to decide a "winner" in that one round farce - I'd probably go with the one who had his hand held up though - that's based on scoring (or more accurately, penalties) for "aggression or lack thereof". Did the guy in white quit? I skipped though the 5+ minutes and found the relevant 30 seconds, but couldn't be bothered with sound.

The guy in white (I have to assume the aikido "master") seemingly just didn't know what to do with punches.

I don't speak Russian, so I don't know what either of those gentlemen train. However I would award the victory to the guy who landed all the punches and knocked his opponent down. I don't think the other guy landed a single blow. (Just double-checked. I guess he had one kick which sort of made contact although there wasn't any real impact.)

It wasn't really a decisive knock down though, unless I missed it...

And the kick, that was begging to be a distancing push to get followed by a proper kick(s).

Looked all lonely sticking out by itself like that.

I speak fluent Russian and after the fight, he said:

"...if only I had my Aikido pants on, the outcome would have been different".

If he had a body like that pictured, I'm sure the outcome would've been different too...
