It is no different than the **** you are spewing. You hate the way people post, but get mad when someone tells you to stop posting. If you don't like what you are reading, inferring or seeing STOP POSTING. To continue complaining about it is whining.
Really, you aren't paying attention to the style fields on this website are you? Since when is A Chinese Traditional Martial Art MMA? Xingyi is not MMA. See, it is TMA wannabe douchebags, like you, that don't read the threads that say FIX THIS TMA and it could be good.
Or what? You'll continue to make erroneous generalizations about something I do not practice?

Oh nooooooooo!!!! Quit whining.

Holy cow, what is the guy in the video talking about???? Aliveness and fantasy fighting, correct???

Furthermore, I made a friendly reply, and petter made a slick remark, thats where the "semantics" comment came from. Next thing you know, It is Fake, steps in with his snide remarks. I never directed anything negative to any of you until you started with me. I was speaking on my experience SO FAR with the forums around the net. I never once said any of you were MMA'ers. I was just trying to speak politely just like anyone else. So now i'm the asshole TMA wannabe whiner because I pointed out someone was being slick with me? Really?

I have been on this site for a couple of days now and the way people are bashing TMA is quite honestly, a put off. I am getting ready to enroll in a Wing Chun school this evening and you know what? I could care less what people on Bullshido think about the style. I like it and thats all that matters. MMA isn't end all be all but thats the impression I get when reading many of the threads on this forum.

Please explain again why we are supposed to think that your comments were not directed at Bullshido posters in general.

First, I wasn't directing my comments at anyone in particular, that's why I didn't name anyone in specificly. In hindsight, I guess I should have been more clear about that. My apologies if came across like I was attacking you guys because I wasn't. I can understand the backlash if that's how my comments were taken.

I'm just a humble dude looking for like minded individuals to chat with about fighting, that is all. I diss no one's style, period.

Holy cow, what is the guy in the video talking about???? Aliveness and fantasy fighting, correct??? There is a ton more going on in that video, but if that's what you took from it okay.



Furthermore, I made a friendly reply, and petter made a slick remark, thats where the "semantics" comment came from. Oh no, someone said something "slick."


Next thing you know, It is Fake, steps in with his snide remarks.I sure did.

You are put off by the threads, could care less what Bullshido thinks about the chun, and then say MMA isn't the end all be all. Yes, there was nothing negative in that post.[/sarcasm]



I was speaking on my experience SO FAR with the forums around the net. I never once said any of you were MMA'ers. Uhmmm you just said:

Your attitude is exactly what the **** i'm talking about. Its douches like you who give MMA a bad rep. Now, how does a CMA TMAer give MMA a bad name? That's rhetorical don't backtrack and try to answer.


I was just trying to speak politely just like anyone else. So now i'm the asshole TMA wannabe whiner because I pointed out someone was being slick with me? Really?Yes, pretty much.

Oh no, someone said something "slick."

I sure did.

Oh goodness fucking gracious dude, why don't you help yourself to a steaming bowl of ****. Now this is directed at you: **** you. Not arguing with a fool so you are going on ignore, something I've never done in 12 years of being on the net.

Oh goodness fucking gracious dude, why don't you help yourself to a steaming bowl of ****. There's none left you used it all in every post.


Now this is directed at you: **** you. Oh no.


Not arguing with a fool Then don't ever read your own posts.


so you are going on ignore, something I've never done in 12 years of being on the net.12 years on the net and you flipped out over someone talking slick? Hahahahahaha......
Oh and how did the ignore function work?
Bwahahahahahaaaaaaa.............

There's none left you used it all in every post.

Oh no.

Then don't ever read your own posts.

Hey tard, guess you never heard of browser add ons. Fucking idiot.

This is hilarious. N00bs, for your own benefit, STFU. Seriously. Read more; post less. Your opinions are not only stupid, uneducated, inexperienced, with a heavy dose of wataah movie influence and the majority of members here are laughing their arses off AT YOU and your whinging about TMA.

so you are going on ignore, something I've never done in 12 years of being on the net.

No it did not work now watch me cover my ass.
Fixed!!

I do like that you claim to never have done it, but you know about browser add-ons LOL.

Oh and you still didn't ignore me dumb ****.
Bwahahahahaaaaa

First off, why the hell would you tell someone they're going on "Ignore"? Just do it. & Second, why announce that you're going to do it before you know if you can do it or not? & Third, you can just ignore someone by choice, you don't have to interact with their stupidity/belligerence/whatever, kinda like you do in real life?

Third, you can just ignore someone by choice, you don't have to interact with their stupidity/belligerence/whatever, kinda like you do in real life?Yes, and Jim knows what he is talking about because he has more of those than me, Sirc, and Rudy combined.

Did It is Fake douchebag say something????? I won't know if she did because her posts are ignored!

Did It is Fake douchebag say something????? I won't know if she did because her posts are ignored!OMG it has me on ignore, but not really.

Pretty awesome video, going to add him to my list of awesome skeptics (Neil Degrasse Tyson is my hero). I would say watching it should be a requirement for joining the forums but as has clearly been demonstrated, half the newbies (and some of the older farts) have a deep seated urge to make it about them or their art vs the world.

There should be a giant banner on the website that explains exactly how skepticism works.

*bows head in shame* okay

I'm a Wing Chun relatively new practitioner - and an admitted newbie to this forum,...but I have been studying Zen Buddhism for some 20 years or so...

I do have a few points to make:

1. I don't think Matt Thornton fully understands "Buddhism" as a "religion" means well millions of things to millions of people.

2. In particular, for millions of people, my self included, "Buddhism" is indeed a thing that encourages the attitude of if you can't know about it (e.g., life after death) you don't say you know about it. (I would prefer to call it a "religion" instead of "spiritual" for precisely the reasons Thompson brings out - I deplore new age fluff or superstition.)

3. I would take every single point everyone makes about CMA/JMA - and Wing Chun especially - as "having no ground game" and all that...and reply, "Point taken, but for many practitioners, myself it's not particularly relevant" because...

4. There's aspects to martial arts as 功夫 - "kung fu" - in its original sense as to be a person of accomplishment that means that whatever some or all of the TMA/CMA/JMA martial arts "lack" in terms of ability in an actual fight is more than made up for by the psychological/motor skills/social/... benefits provided. Thompson kind of makes this point, I think but I think it's much stronger than he makes it.

That last point is a subject for a whole other thread probably.

Thanks for your contribution, Mumon - but I think it's pretty important to clearly delineate between general lifestyle benefits, and actual martial value.
