i cant see the video, this may be OT, but i need to vent something
I get aggrivated when people gawk over these "martial artists" that break boards and shit like that..the guys who can fight a group of people off (yet when you see it only one person will attack at a time)
I've trained 10 years of my life in both Okinawan Shorin-Ryu and Aikido never once was I trained to break a board, infact they all scoff at such acts, because thats all they are. oh oh you can fight a group of people but only when they take turns attacking you
ok I was trained to fight up to 6 people coming at me with knives at the same time, and that shit is hard, basically avoid and keeping everyone infront of you, and using aikido techniques to throw the opponent at the others.
In Karate (Okinawan Shorin-Ryu) I was trained to be disciplined, be smart, and stay out of fights and when you had to fight be quick. we never once touched wooden boards, the most he hit was punching pads/bags and kick pads. ok I understand that maybe breaking shit is a type of discipline training but i just dont beleive in it.
its funny because the most beneficial martial art out there IMO is AIkido and I dont know if anyone is familair (im sure steve is tho). but you are trained to not be powerful but to just flow. i can throw a 300 lb man over himself because the mistake most people make when fighting is they put ALL of their weight into an attack....ok so here's a lesson a lot of times if you just move to the side or back they will fall over themselves...im done..im not sure if any of it made sense but whatyever
oh yeah and I like jackie chan ovver jet li, just because jackie is ballsy as hell, i mean he's put holes in his head from stunts and its just nice to see someone has balls to do the shit he does
