Martial Art Morons

Today I realized how much I hate people. Im a waiter and a few of the guys at work like the UFC. They don't train they just like to watch. One even asked me where he could start grappling and I named him some local schools. No problem.

Then theres these two other guys that study. One in Kung Fu and the other TKD. The Kung Fu always asks about training and how his instructor was super awesome. I try and tell him that Kung Fu isnt for me and I prefer alive training yada yada. He doesn't argue with me or anything I just can't stand listening to his Kung Fu crap anymore.

The TKD guy is worse though. He mentioned that he was teaching his little sister martial arts. What kind I ask? He tells me he has a second degree black belt in "TKD/Kempo/Aikido/JiuJitsu" WTF is that?

I just hate stupid people is all Im saying. BTW both think working out is great and think their dedicated to their arts but don't work out is looks like, and they both smoke a carton a day. WTF?!?!?!?!

You sir give '****' enough to post on his thread. That is '****' enough!

GiJoe: People will believe what they want to believe. Invite them for a sparring session.

You think all Kung Fu lacks alive training? Your friend's school may very well suck, but that has **** to do with Kung Fu in general.

Meh, it's like those people that MUST smoke a cigarrette before entering the gym... what fucktards.

Don't mind them. Let them die of lung cancer in due time.

First of all, GIJoe6186 would never be "friends" with a kung fu guy, we're all for martial segregation. Aquaintance? Yes. But never befriend a dirty dirty kung fu man.......

Seriously though he, never said kung fu lacks alive training. But most of it probably does or lack or only have a little bit. Stereotypes are based on some fact usually and if you want to practice an art that uses aliveness you probably would study kung fu only if you happen to stumble across a good school. But it would be a big surprise to me to stumble across that school.

After decades in CMA in different parts of the world I can definitely say "dead" training makes up the vast majority of KF in general.

Most Kung Fu schools lack alive training.

I would never be freinds with a Kung Fu guy. He's not even an aquaintance. More of a "I am forced to work with you, so will tolerate your idiocy for now."

I was just venting though. I just realy hate people who martial arts with a focus on the art instead of fighting. Or about self control or respect or anything other then fighting. I don't need to learn respect through martial arts. My dad gave that to me when he beat us!

And we learned humility when he molested us!!!

(I'm not the only one....right?)

Yeah, most KF schools do lack alive training preferring walking up and down the fucking floor making sure your stances are strong, yada yada Bullshit. My first sifu loved to come up to me while practicing blocks (insert Asian accent here) "So you know this good?" Me "yeah" Sifu *slaps me upside head "not good enough....keep practicing"
