The Worst Techniques I've Ever Been Taught

It actually works very well against attacking Klingons.

Only because Klingons don't understand kinetic energy.

OK, best technique by far from my less practical TMA days:

Xing Yi: keeping your butthole clenched while in your San Ti stance. This was always said with a straight face - ancient Chinese secret...

As funny as that sounds it's probably good advice. I've heard the same advice said (more or less) in strength training books.

I guess it depends on the situation. A counter-argument: much like the octopus' ink, NOT clenching up and just flooding your trousers could be a useful deterrant in a "he's crazy enough to **** his pants, what else is he capable of" sort of way.

Just funny that, especially in IMA, when you have about 1,000 other infinitesimal details to keep in mind, your butthole is near the top of the list.

You should have told him that you would sign any necessary waivers regarding the lethal force just to gain the experience.

I don't recall Royce Gracie worrying about relying on a weight class, or did I miss something.

Uhh yeah, that's because Royce wasn't using techniques TOO DEADLY FOR COMPETITION

Ninjitsu twice haha, one class when I was a kid and one class as an adult, they literally taught on the first day of class how to catch a sword in motion with your hands. That's essentially when i called bullshido!

Plus you'll be a little lighter, thus quicker, if combat ensues.

[Cuddles]

When someone high kicks or knees, headbutt it back down faster than their leg is moving. The logic was that because your head was moving faster, the energy would transfer to the opposing leg, leaving you in tip-top shape and the opponent clutching his injured leg. You could also modify it to headbutt a punch, elbow, or to counter another headbutt.

That week, I quit Shaolin Kung Fu.
