Non-asians will never understand Asian martial arts.

Sure it's crowded, so you MIGHT not have enough room, but what do you do if you have room, and you can hit someone with a hook?

Hit him!

a hook is a close range technique, actually

Yeah but he's apprently talking in the context of where you have no room to even fall down.

I dont believe it, but ive never been to china, so i cant judge. So SUPPOSE he's right, there is not room to even put your hip into the punch(If its so packed you cant put hip into the puch, technically you cant fight but hey.......)

if there's enough room for straight line punching, there sure as **** is room for in fighting techniques such as hooks. Saying "there's not enough room to rotate" is fucking retarded.

Exactly!
Thats what im saying! If you it's so backed you cant thow a hip in, then you cant fight!

of course, pointing out that CIA is a moron is like pointing out that many jews don't eat pork

I don't really understand why you chose that one.

**AAAhmed46** · Posted On: 1/09/2006 3:03pm

Muslims dont eat pork either.

Just had to add that.

ok, maybe I should've said saying that CIA is a moron is a tautology. The jew thing was just the first thing that popped in my head.

man, the way alot of these people on this website are going about things is all wrong. nobody is in the wrong or the right.

different arts, different experiences, different backgrounds, different upbringing, different values... you cant just box everything in like that

(eg: saying Muay thai is better than wing chun, and thats the end of it.)

there are so many other factors.

How can half these guys consider themselves martial artists?

Martial arts is about developing your character as well as body. your mind has to develop along with your skills.

This does not mean swearing at people, abusing people, or tearing them down about the art they practice. It also does not mean assuming that all white men (or 80% of them, apparently) cannot understand asian martial arts.

The martial artist applies his training to every day life.

He dosent abuse or get over angry, (like half the UFC guys)

He (or she!) goes about things rationally and looks for a solution, listens to both sides of the argument.

I'm not saying im perfect or whatever.

I'm just saying this is not the way the martial artist should be going about it, instead of debating and thinking rationally, abusing others and pouting like a 6 year old kid.

Time to open your minds, man.
