I'll ask her about that one in the morning. Or I'll ask our live in helper. Her serbian is much better than my wife's

While we are many hours from ND, let me know if you are going to be around Chicago.

Re: Whch Poster Is The Most/Best...

Which poster is the most intelligent?

I don't know who is the most intelligent. 'Poly definitely has above average intelligence with many intelligent posters, so there is nobody particularly stands out.

There are also many knowledgable posters such as Dr Spin, Dr Strangelove, Provost Harrison, Rah, Wraith, Rogan Josh, Ethered, Big Crunch, Chowlett, Ramo, and MtG. Finally there are some wise posters, including East Street Trader, Rah, Ming, Bugs, and Lincoln.

Which poster is funniest?

Again, nobody stands out. KH, The_Brain, Stefu, AH. and Bugs all have their moments.

Which poster do you think is most like yourself?

Politically and environmentally, probably che.

Which poster would you like to go for a pint with?

Just about any 'Polyer

Which poster would you want on your side in a scrap?

Of all posters, my SO. With her fiery temper and mastery in aikido, she makes an ideal fighting partner. Among regular posters, MtG.

Which poster would you trust in an important situation?

Again, my SO. The regulars, hmm, most of the wise posters.

Which poster has the most interesting life?

No idea.

I am 6'1" tall, 265 pounds and I am an Instructor in Tae Kwon Do, although I dont instruct anymore, bounced for 10 years and was in Law Enforcement for 5 years, so i think I will trust myself and my friendly neighborhood WALL in a scrap, should one get to me!

My Vale Tudo and mixed martial arts will whup the **** out of your TKD - bring it!

Which poster is the most intelligent?

Wraith, Adam Smith, MtG

Which poster is funniest?

Usually Stefu

Which poster do you think is most like yourself?

In what sense? Wraith and berz are a lot like me politically, but I'd say orange is a lot like me personally from what I can tell.

Which poster would you like to go for a pint with?

Anyone I haven't yet, most notably Ming, MtG, berzerker, chegitz, Chris62, Rah, red_jon, orange, and just about anyone else.

Which poster would you want on your side in a scrap?

Certainly not that TKD *****

(I'm just messing with you Troll, TKD is just one martial art I don't like too much )

Seriously, probably MtG, sounds like he knows how to fight.

Which poster would you trust in an important situation?

PH, orange

Which poster has the most interesting life?

MtG, also one no one has thusfar mentioned - Saras.

Its ok My Friend, when i was active and in competition AAU style, my opponents didnt care either!

But it is smart to be open-minded to what works, as in a mixed bag of experiences in life prepare us for the path of those whom have gone before us, literally we should be open, I enjoy Tae Kwon Do for it fits my style of Multiple Kick Attack, with my hands as secondary, for no one should ever lead with their hands, after all, Martial Arts are designed and meant for SELF-DEFENSE not as a method of attacking someone. This happens, but it goes against the purest Tenets of the Martial Artist. That being said, keep focused on what your Sensei or Sifu teaches should you studay Japanese or Chinese and apply it fully, then move on to what else you can Master..for this is where your knowledge may be imparted upon others!

Have a blessed day!

Oh Yeah!!!!! Next year don't forget to buy one of those donut shaped cushions to sit on. When they give you your first clerkship assignment carry the cushion with you. Walk up to whichever attending or resident they sell you to and hold up the cushion, smile and announce "I'm ready for you, man!"

Indeed - that's why crosstraining is so important.

I enjoy Tae Kwon Do for it fits my style of Multiple Kick Attack,

I'm glad you enjoy it, but Muay Thai kickboxing also offers a wide array of kicks that are much harder to detect and catch (which is what Jiujitsu fighters are good at).

with my hands as secondary, for no one should ever lead with their hands, after all, Martial Arts are designed and meant for SELF-DEFENSE not as a method of attacking someone.

That's all well and good, most fights do not stay within kicking distance very often - most of the time you will have to use your hands. If someone is stupid enough to let you sit there 3 feet away and kick them over and over, they deserve to get their ass beat. But what happens when someone charges you and either takes you down or starts beating on your face? You might get in one kick, tops, but adrenaline will negate most of the damage of a snap kick, even to the face. I know because I've been kicked - fought a TKD black belt last semester at school.

As to martial arts being self defense and very defensive, I agree. That is the problem, as I see it, with martial arts. Fighting systems, such as Vale Tudo, Muay Thai, boxing, and elements of Brazilian jiujitsu are not really defensive. Rather, they rely on countering the initial strike or takedown attempt, and finishing the fight with a variety of brutal techniques, whether we are talking knees and elbows, thai kicks, or bone breaking joint locks.

This happens, but it goes against the purest Tenets of the Martial Artist.

If martial arts is your thing, awesome. I prefer to keep philosophy out of my training, though. Nothing wrong with it if you enjoy it, of course.

That being said, keep focused on what your Sensei or Sifu teaches should you studay Japanese or Chinese and apply it fully, then move on to what else you can Master..for this is where your knowledge may be imparted upon others!

Ah, that's one reason I don't train in traditional martial arts. Having to learn Korean, or whatever, strikes me as patently useless to learning how to fight, as are things such as Kata and the philosophy behind a martial art. That time, to me, could be better spent training or in realistic, high impact sparring.

I love these martial arts discussions

Well, thats not entirely true. I am not saying that someone stays and kicks someone from three feet. One must move horizontally and laterally. TKD teaches when you reverse, you look over your shoulder prior to launching attack, so you may need to slide backward or forward, move diagonally or laterally to avoid or even create an attack. Thats where hands come in, as I said, SECONDARY. I didnt mean to imply that you NEVER use hands, quite the opposite is true. Hands,arms and forearms are an awesomme arsenal,once honed and properly seasoned in training. As for a snap kick, I agree, I am not sure whom you fought, but in TKD, a snap kick is not high on the "Takedown" kicks. Sidekick, step behind sidekick, hook kick,turning kick,reverse hook kick, Axe Kick,jump reverse hook kick are some of the more "potent" available. I would rarely use the snap kick or even a popular TKD "Twist-kick", other than point fighting. Twist-kicks are great innpoint tourneys, but I would not use ina real fight, at least not too often
As for only getting in one kick, TOPS, hmm, you must have seen some lame-A$$ TKD wanna-B's

This is what I meant by SELF-DEFENSE. Countering is Self-Defense, as in REACTING to an attack, not just being defensive in status or mode, but rather not Initiating contact.
If martial arts is your thing, awesome. I prefer to keep philosophy out of my training, though. Nothing wrong with it if you enjoy it, of course.

Well, Christianity is my "thing", but a person cannot be 100% physical, they need mental and thats where being properly trained within the whole realmn comes in.

Well, Kata's and Hyoung's do merely teach the "Basics" of a punch,kick,block or strike. Thats all they do. Bolo Heung in "Bloodsport" the movie said to Van Damme, "Very Good,but brick not hit back". True, very true. But breaking is about focus and energy usage, much like a heavy bag or even speed bag. I trained with a heavy bag, not because I thought I could whoop someone better, but for conditioning. I used to bounce for a living. I am not sure if you have ever fought someone for 15 minutes straight, falling over tables,chairs,hitting floor and walls. But, this takes a Heck of a lot out of you. Heavy Bags help in conditioning. Kata's merely help or assist in proper techniques.(Which is in fact Training

As do I, but, enuff from this has been!
