"Not the style" argument with TMA

[Dr. Gonzo]

Your like the Yoda of unasked questions.

Don't get me started on Yoda.

Everything bad that happened to the Republic in the new Star Wars movies was due to Yoda's absolute incompetence as the leader of the Jedi.

That's what happens when everybody chooses to follow the suggestions of a dumb-ass or put a dumb-ass in a leadership position.

"I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of star wars fans suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened."

He was over 900 years old at the time of the clone wars. Cut him slack.
This reminds me of the time Villain and Plasma were breaking The Ghost of Helio Gracie's balls over him applying a heel hook shittily in a photo from when he was 92. How long do you have to be the best for to be one of the best ever?

The Republic had very strict age discrimination laws and Yoda was the senior Jedi on the counsel. So that's that.
I personally would have voted for a Mace Windu/ Anakin Skywalker ticket all day.

um how about no,
How about we accept this the same way you have to accept that Indiana Jones was irrelevant to the outcome of Raiders of the lost Ark.

This true.

If anything his participation may have helped the Nazis if they'd listened to him and didn't look in the box.

Only partially true. The Nazis would have found the Ark with the amulet, and would have gotten apocolypsed opening it, but still, they'd know where it was, and nobody else would. They might send another crew to look into the disappearance of the first... sooner or later, they'd deduce what the Ark did, then it would be open, on a truck, rolling towards Moscow.

I'm ready to start a Grand Unifying Thread because the threads seem to continuously dovetail. In the RBSD too Expensive thread, there's talk about the standard of H2H training in the armed forces. A notion I think is true for Armed forces and LE: Even a sub-par technique that is applied aggressively and confidently by a trained and strong man, is going to have some success. I'm partial to windmilling dicks. But that's just me. Just the fact of that something has been trained into a person improves their confidence and reactions. So with what I understand about SF culture, they do their best to make whatever tools available to them work for them.
Now, what MA program is best for SF is a separate issue. I have my own ideas about that, but that would be for another thread. Maybe Fantasy self defense school thread.

To supports 1point2's comment. Toughness goes alooong way. Maybe the real discussion is how we cultivate that toughness.

Those of us in kyokushin and the kyokushin offshoots have a few ideas...

[Broomie]

I'm sure you do!

The conversation loops back to how you train.

Grand unification thread here I come.
