Everybody seems to be bl00dy injured. My gout came back yesterday. I took some pain meds, taped my foot up and did my workout today anyway because I'll be BADGERED if I'm going to start again getting my body used to working out. I know it's a bit crazy, but then I am...

Mainly because some of us are old geezers and injuries don't' heal quick, and old injuries like to pay you a visit every now and then

Tried watching Tai CHi Zero, allegedly about Yang Luchan going to Chen Jiaguo..... had to stop watching, it was just to stupid......and not even close to historical accuracy...

I thought it was quite cool, isn’t there a part 2 too, if I remember right ?

Don’t know, couldn’t get through part 1, the magic bump on Luchan’s head, then after the train thing and then when the British East India showed up, i was done

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Kung fu movie that had anything close to historical accuracy. They’re generally action/fantasy sometimes loosely based on mythology about an art’s origins.

Just wondering,
have you watched any of that claim to be such?

CMA might be said to be historical culturally based artifacts, no longer really serving the intended purpose many claim to represent.

Not meaning to be dismissive of any practice, only noting that the standards by which things have are measured by have drastically changed over the years.

Some more than others. The Ip Man movies were all fiction with using a real person as the main character. but still for the most part believable and correct to the period. Others, IMO, go off the deep end, like Taiji Zero. More along the line of Jules Verne science fiction vibe with Yang Luchan in it

Did get hooked on the Eye for an Eye movies
"Eye for an Eye; the blind swordsman" & "Eye for an Eye 2; Blind Vengeance",
However I am fairly certain, although I can't prove it, that the idea for it came from Zatoichi

 

[Same Trick51]

Just love the Zatoichi series, Takeshi Kitano’s take on Zatoichi is quite cool too, and there’s an ‘Ichi - blind swordswoman’ also very cool’ish

I think i have seen most of the Shintaro Katsu version, i really enjoyed those. Have not seen any other actors take on the character yet.

No no no…. You’re doing that wrong…. Take it from a geezer… you need to do this too

Cane shaking is a must

Cane shaking is a must

I shall have to practice... the cane might help me get out of my chair, with appropriate noises, of course.

Now this is true. I have a few fighting injuries from before I even did martial arts that sometimes give me trouble, especially when the weather is damp, like today

Sometimes you've just got to give yourself a day off. Spending it listening to the new Taylor Swift album and generally being lazy.

No no no…. That’s proof you’re not a geezer…. No taking days off to listen to anything…..no being lazy…. Just naps…. Lots and lots of naps

Dating other geezers is also not geezer behaviour though, so my geeze was already outside the pale of accepted geezitude

So basically…. You’re not a geezer, nor does it sound like you are even qualified to be one…. You…. Are a NON-geezer

 

[Prince_Alarming105]

I prefer the term 'post geezer'

 

[Prince_Alarming105]

I'm just digging myself a bigger hole here, geezers don't have preferred terms

 

[Monkey Turned Wolf106]

I prefer the term 'post geezer'

If anything, it should be pre-geezer
