[hpr]

I laughed out loud at work. Now they all look at me funny :/

I laughed out loud at work. Now they all look at me funny :/

It's all the tsunner's fault...

[The Question]

RunningDog, I salute your literary prowess. The diary is glorious, it's riveting, it's hilarious. This diary is the shit.

No doubt your highly wing tsun trained body "liquidated" all that pesky muscle for you. I had heard that wing tsun practitioners can make a women pregnant by just looking at you... I guess it's the other way around.

[WingChun Lawyer]

Oh come on, give us the sparring session with Torquil already. I want the poor bastard to see the light!

[Jadonblade]

Dont be foolish!, his going to accidentally jab his thumb in Torquils eye and then will be forever deluded that he has teh d34dly.

[RunningDog]

Haha. There is no ritzy in Cambridge mate. And the Union is a shitty place to go to for drinks. Only good on debate nights

Here is the soc you must have been a member of

I liked this bit of their teaching

'Students who want to get the most out of classes are strongly recommended to practice what they have learned outside of class time, both alone and with their kung fu brothers and sisters!'

they added the exclamation mark. Not me

'I'll happily share a few juicy "secrets" with keen people, including what I know of the first three forms (Siu nim tao, chum kiu and biu tze) and some of the funkier body mechanics that Lol has me working on.'

Then there is the Cambridge Ninjitsu society. Brilliant group by the sound of things

http://www.bujinkan-cambridge.com/index.shtml

Run by 'Shihan Jake Sharpstone, 10th Dan'.

If his name is 'Jake Sharpstone' than why is it you need to know

Onegaishimasu" - Literally, "Please assist me"
"Shikin Haramitsu Daikomyo" - Translation difficult, but the general meaning is "Everything holds the start of understanding", or variations. This is the phrase said at the start and end of class.
"Arigato Gozaimashita" - Thank you very much

If i ever teach BJJ I will insist people talk to me in a thick brazilian accent. Refusal to do so will result in Kneebars

Then there is this gem
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If it's a really old martial art, how is it still useful?

The world changes, but people stay the same. We do train with a lot of traditional weapons that you're not likely to encounter today, but the things you learn from using them are still relevant. Defending yourself against a person with a baseball bat, stick, or barstool uses the same principles as defending against a sword, short staff or unarmed attacker. We concentrate on learning why we do things, on the core principles of each technique, so that we don't rely on set forms, but instead on our own experience, intuition and ability to improvise
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's good. So defending yourself against a baseball bat requires the same defence as sword.

You see Cambridge people are funny. They can' distinguish between RPGs, warhammer and martial arts
