Sorry, but I don't trust you on this. I know, I know, it sounds harsh, but I haveta say it.

Hey, you wanna eat metallic **** on your own, go for it!

And I'm sure you'll fill up on that big ol' plate of bias.

It's not bias, fuckchop. It's the fact I have tasted Korean-made brands of kimchi and Japanese-made brands of kimuchi...

And the Japanese stuff tastes like metallic ****.

You wanna make this out to be something it isn't, be my guest.

You think you're the only person in the world who eats? I too have eaten loads of kimchee in Korea and in Japan. The metallic **** taste in your mouth is from your own bile caused by choking on your bias.

Really?

What kind of kimchi did you eat?

The kind that was put in front of me at various restaurants and homes. I didn't stop to request a fact sheet, I was too hungry.

Gotcha.

So...you know nothing of the different varieties of kimchi then? The subtle and not so subtle flavorings?

I am absolutely no expert on kimchee. I only know that I have encountered kimchee of different color and taste in different parts of Korea, and that the kimchee I have had in Japan contained no metallic **** taste. Perhaps one needs to be a great Connoisseur like yourself to detect the subtle **** flavor. All the years you spent eating **** must serve you well in such evaluation.:icon_roll

If Kimchi is in contact with metal for anytime at all it gets that metallic taste ,and some of the ones form Japan are bad but not all . There some good brands from the U.S.

if kimchi is so great why did hamburgers conquer the world?

Kyudo and Kyujutsu are two different things....

Yup; same as the difference between Kendo and Kenjutsu. (Kendo being some bastardized form of combatsport than a functional martial art. Just like Modern Fencing.)

I guess there's a pattern here: avoid any Japanese martial art with a title that ends with 'do'. :)

This is the dire consequence of years of saying "search function, noob."

Congrats with the search function. Your next assignment will be to figure out what "do" means and what it entails. Focus on Jigoro Kano and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police competitions in the early 20th century.

If people find themselves flipping out about Kyudo not being the Toyama Ryu of archery, what Karl Friday says about the Japanese martial arts in Legacies of the Sword will be of interest. Namely, the defining characteristic of bugei being its development into something comparable with the fine arts. I believe this to be especially true of Kyudo; whereas Kendo and Naginata offer a competitive element that may make for some semblence of combat training, both rule systems are geared towards achieving ippon and not surviving an encounter. This is rarely the focus anymore in Gendai Budo.

My post was meant to be a joke. :P


However, just to make sure I understood this correctly, are you saying that Kendo & Naginata are still martially sound just because they are competitive and martially based?
