Sure, who's bashing that?

&gt;As long as the art reamins true, or the students truly learns the complete art

How is the art goint be UNTRUE?

How do you know if it is COMPLETE?

DP,

&gt;full contact contests (Dojo arashi) were put up to see who was better

You mean DOJO YABURI and it was used to also to steal business. If Master X beats the crap out of Master Y then Master X is likely to draw more students and/or be appointed to a better station

Vargas,
Here's the funny Force Recon story. When I was waiting for training to start in Somewhere, XX, I worked with a variety of soldiers, marines, airmen and sailors doing S-3 type stuff. One of them was this Force Recon guy, another was this idiot 71L (personnel clerk) who would take long lunches so he could go to the tanning booth and get his hair done. One day he's just talking and talking about how he can't wait to get his combat patch. He seriously wished there would be another war so that he could have the opportunity to be in a unit that might happen to exchange fire so that he could sew a combat patch onto his shoulder. Well, obviously this ticked those others of us off, especially Mister Force Recon.
So he looks at the guy and says, "You don't want to go to war."
The other guy says, "Why not?"
"Because guys like you, they die."
"What do you mean?" says the 71L.
"It doesn't matter where you are or what you're doing, guys like you get killed right away.If you go to war, you will die"
"What do you mean? How can you tell?"
"I can just tell. *TheWastrel* here, he won't die. His kind don't get killed. You? You die."
I can't really explain it to anyone but another serviceman, but that really meant a lot to me. I've carried that story with me like a charm, and I believe it. When my brother shipped off for Hurlburt, I told him the story-sort of like I was passing it on. I don't die. I'm the kind of guy that doesn't die. Neat.

STOP THE INSANITY IF YOU ARE LEARNING MA YOU ARE LEARNING TO HURT SOMEONE NO AMOUNT OF BS IS GOING TO CHANGE THAT.
Show me ONE MA that does not contain methods of bringing harm to another person. If you can then you stupid.

Ahh... Me stupid. I say CDT. I know Tom Patire will give evidence in court saying that CDT cannot be used to harm people. Hahahaha.. You stupid for saying I is stupid. I cannot be stupid if I not get convicted of hurting someone. It only costs me $2000 per month. Who's the stupid one now?

Asia- You`re right dude. Yaburi is an unannounced challenge to whip the **** out of the instructor and/or students to prove who is stronger.

Arashi is barging into the school and kicking their asses just ot disturb and harass them, not to prove who is better.

A.K.A MEAT

Wastrel,

Yeah, some guys, especially REMFs, get eaten up with a desire to go out and get a patch on their right shoulder. At my last deployment, I enjoyed watching the non-mission hacking types avoid the Sgt Major. Al Lamb (the Sgt Maj.) had a 1/75th Ranger scroll on his right shoulder (and just about every other badge in the Army on his DCUs). I asked one of the SF guys where he got it. The guy replied, "Well, it was either Panama, Iraq or Somali. He fought in all three dust-ups as a Ranger platoon sergeant , so take your pick." Good to see the Force Recon guy hated pogues as much as I do. REMFs. Fehh.
