Hello

[FluidSound]

Heya. I'm here to learn. I practice Tai Chi Quan (With an instructor, Yang style from the school of Cheng Dsu Yao) and on my free time, boxing. I like learning about other martial arts as well. Though, my tastes are odd. I don't believe Wushu is effective, but enjoy watching the forms just because they give me a thought of how they can help such as applying flexibility from them or learning different thought processes. Of course, I don't think the actual application is effective in battle.

Anyways, greetings.

Thank you, I really do appreciate it. I'm a bit of an oddball and usually show respect, though sometimes I can be a bit ill-tempered. Still, I came here after realizing that the admins/moderators of Bullshido were complete and total douchebags and the people there were a bit thick-skulled. They're not dumb, just close minded and too strict for their own good. Plus, I'm pretty sure some of the admins/moderators there abuse their powers. I'm glad they're only leaders of a website and not something important, cause it'd be black and white "-_-

Anyways, sorry for my rant, I realize I talk a lot. I came here to learn and that's what I wish to do.

Welcome to MT! Sorry you didn't have a good experience on another board, but it's important to remember that we're only people, with differing thoughts and opinions. One thing I've found helpful, is to avoid replying for a day if I come across a post which cheeses me off. There's no hurry, and the time allows me to consider whether or not I'm being hasty.
Not a lecture, just something I've found useful.
Again, welcome to the board!

I agree, but that's the thing. The moderators had like, a stick up their ***. If they thought you were wrong, they'd were like "Nope, wrong. **** you". instead of "I disagree, here's why." I swear, they were very... I don't know how to put it. Kindness wasn't a language and neither was keeping an open thought. They did not know how to relate two things either or take in examples.

Like, when I mentioned how you could learn such flexibility and unpredictability from Drunken Boxing, they laughed at me and said "There's 0 evidence that you can apply it to martial arts." Not only that, but they treated me as if I was an idiot as well. I came there to learn, not be treated like some a jackass, by a bunch of jackasses. And okay, even if someone disagrees, they can't just say they disagree and WHY? Instead of making someone feel like **** and giving no answer?

Anyways, dancing is not applied to fighting, yet it is a practical way to learn how to become a better wrestler because you learn to be more balanced. At least, this is what I hear. But see? There is relation between two completely different things.

Bullshido has its own culture. We're different and generally attract different folks. Hope you like it around here.
