Pumsae is worse than mandancing. It's mandancing choreographed by people trying to do ballet with breakdancing steps.

This is the first thing that came to mind when I read our heroic leaders intro..

Wait, you didn't get the Rocky Horror reference?

Mandancing implies dancing is not manly. And you can ask any woman on this entire forum, and she will tell you: a man who can dance is indeed a very sexy man.

just doing the time warp is more effective

LET's be honest here - there are forms and sets in pretty much every single MA going...
Well, there is when they reach the western world...

It's too bad that doing patterns isn't something that most international federation of whatever insist upon... if they didn't - instructors might have to get their young students to... oh I dunno actually contact spar for a while, or even funnier get them to practice the basics like punching and kicking PROPERLY.... cue lots of haymakers and wobbly toe punts.

After all gotta make the punters think they're getting the R££L traditional ****, especially as little Jimmy's mom thinks he looks so nice in that little white Gi/Dobok/over=priced pajama set...

I quite like the medatational state you can achieve by going through the same dammed sets almost every class...

No wait......... this is a different sensation

yep, it's boredom... my mistake.
