You guys are PU$$IE$

[EdgeWalker]

This guy is pretty dedicated.
How much do you like your toe?

thats pretty hard core man
but wouldn't it be better if he kept his toe in the long run? I mean it's not like his career is going to end in a year... or is it?

So we went from: train harder, to cancer, to Taekkyon, and IIRC comics came up (as always). What's next?

I did a kickfest at Mean in teh bean V, with Strikestanian, it was embarrassing...but I had an injured thumb, so it was that, or nothing as fun. I post for shame

Spoiler:

The worst bit was, Marvin Perry, who is, by any measure a great kickboxer, looking on in the background. He probably had to scrub the suckage of the mat, after I left.

Okay, well, then I agree with Ignorami...cool pastime. When I finally get my kicks reliably head level, I would play around with this ruleset if I could find a partner, just for the hell of it.

if you are good at takedowns, you should go for that instead

So, I've no background knowledge of this ruleset. It appears that punches aren't allowed, kicks are allowed if they strike above the waist, but the emphasis is on take downs which are also performed to the upper body (i.e. no double leg shoots etc). Am I pretty close?

Whether it actually translates to being a well rounded martial art is questionable, but the comps look like a lot of fun.

pretty close,
A win is awarded when you land a kick to the head OR throw your opponent down
In TKB kicks to the midsection is NOT allawed (I don't know why, one of the stupidest rules in TKB), maybe because Kyullyun puts alot of emphasis on low kicks.

Is it a well rounded martial art? Definatly NOT. The absence of handstrikes and groundwork is painful. I had my ass kicked on my first MMA sparring sessions. But is it valid? I think so. After a few lessons, I was able to fight most of the people in the gym quite decently. I had my kicks and standing wrestling from Taekkyon, so I just had to fill in my missing parts (I still suck at boxing and groundwork though).

[Ignorami]

there are three schools of taekkyon, the one you are talking about is Daehan Taekkyon. Kyullun and the Traditional style are full contact.

Yup, looked like a perfectly respectable past-time to me.

Sorry, but when the wiki page for an MA states clearly that hurting your opponent is against the rules, it needs to go fuck itself. You either accept that what you do is a performance piece, with no transferrable skills, or again, you can go fuck yourself.

I take what you're talking about for granted. If i was a noob, you could have pointed it out. Fine, change my opinion to no transferrable technique. I assume everyone is aware that exercise improves fitness and balance.

Oh come on, it's still a sport where people try to throw each other and kick each other in the goddamn head, without those dumb dipped foam headgear with face cages. We're not talking about XMA here.

The term refers to cyberjunkies who hardwired their brains to the internet. Supposedly the process is risky, like walking on a blade, hence the name EdgeWalker.

My brain is softwired into the internet, and the process is relativity painless except when I come to Bullshido.

And I do that on purpose.

It's like cybervirtualsadomasochism.

I stopped ready this thread when it got seriously fucking retarded.(whi ch happened way early).
I'm one of those guys who posts evey other day about copping yet another shitty injury,& about being a burn't out old bastard.
I do my best not to come across like a whiny lttle ninja 'cause I love what I do & my x-rays are like merit badges,every one was earn't the hard way & I'm damn proud of them.

Omega,your student is a goddamn inspiration.
I'm about to go in for my third knee op since march ( this time a full rebuild ) & I'm gonna save your o.p to remind me just how fucking good life is when I'm going through the next six months of rehab,then another 3 months as the class grappling dummy before I get back to a level where I can start enjoying my art.

Regardless of all the Bullshit that this thread spewed out,I've gotta say THANX.
Call me conceited,but It could have been written for me alone.

Oh yeah,I'm on some pretty cool meds,so all the touchy feely shite,,,HA

[The Juggernoob]

I for one find it massively fucking ironic that he even had the balls to post in a thread created by Omega about the serious lack of hard training.

Not the best art for fighting, or not the best training method, doesn't equal "No transferable skills".

Most sports or even ballet dancing would have some transferrable skills.
