"Judo is a soft art if done correctly"

Well i think there might be a misconception right there.
The issue i have is the word correctly it's true that a judoka should have enough skill to lightly drop the uke if he wants to.
the reason is that you don't want to injure your training partners.

I wouldnt call it the correct way of doing it.

There are not many "soft styles" out there that can send someone straight to A&E.

Thw thing is yes you can "move the attackers momentum against them" by way of taiotoshi or uchimata but you can also throw a person standing completly still.

AND A BUNCH OF BULLSHIT where I move the goal posts to make myself correct.

No, people are pissed at your above condescension. Every post that you type exudes this "I KNOW EVERYTHING **** YOUR WORDS" bullshit.

By the BY WIKIPEDIA IS NOT A VALID SOURCE FOR MARTIAL ARTS.
Read this:
http://chronicle.com/blogs/wiredcamp...-creation/2305

But he said he has no sympathy for their plight, noting that he thinks to himself: “For God sake, you’re in college; don’t cite the encyclopedia.”

That's from the FOUNDER of wiki.

Here is an entry from wiki about wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Academic_use

Wikipedia is not considered a credible source. Wikipedia is increasingly used by people in the academic community, from freshman students to professors, as an easily accessible tertiary source for information about anything and everything. However, citation of Wikipedia in research papers may be considered unacceptable, because Wikipedia is not considered a credible or authoritative source.[1][2]

So, if you want some credibility, start using something else to back up your "knowledge."

Nope, you need to read the thread. Yes, it is easy to be wrong. Half the people, on this website, were wrong about martial arts. To be fair, he did not like being "rebuked." When people told him where he was wrong, he was right because a couple of websites and his instructor said so.

I can find MULTIPLE threads of people, just like Blaze, who can have a conversation without being right. Yes, even noobs who still believe in Shaolin-Do, Temple Kung Fu, wing chun and Dim Mak.

People get mad at bullshido's atmosphere, but seem to forget people respond how you respond. If you come in like a know it all bitch, you get responses that resemble your attitude. The funny thing is, this thread didn't turn ugly until BLAZE TOLD Scrapper that Judo was soft "cuz it is."

I like the smoke and mirrors/don't look at the man behind the curtains act; as if he didn't just tell yet another actively practicing Judoka about how they are all clearly ignorant.

Let me send you a PM. This is not an act.
