Posted: 5/26/2008 1:42:59 PM | Martial arts is an art, self defense, not to see show off and kick someone's butt for no reason. What style of taekwondo you practice? Can you speak some Korean? Who is your master? A true martial artist will show respect with all people.
Martial means to do with war. Every soldierly skill is a martial art, you are just spouting western brainwashing. There is not much self defence orientated about soldiers in general, we tend to be more about killing the other guy first if the need arises. I practice a nice style. I have about two words of Korean, but I can say 'stop or I will shoot' in several Arabic and Farsi dialects. My master is ultimately the Queen, being a commonwealth member and all. I respect some people and I respect the right of terrorists to be dead.
Who are you and why are people still trying to start martial arts pissing competitions? | |

typical gym fitness is overspecialized, and can
impede upon balance, muscle-fire timing,
intuition...and much more
some combinations of movements produce
results that are superior than if those same
movements were performed seperately and/or
in different order.

I stand my ground, but that was pretty funny. That reminded me of that movie with the puppets...Derka Derka. LOL.
No I do not wish to have a pissing contest or enter any sort of combat situation with you. For starters, your bigger and two, you have access to weapons I could only dream of.
Give me a loaded gun and you wear a blind fold and you have yourself a date.

Actually, I think there is likely some truth to that statement. It's simple physics. | |

Perhaps that's a question you need to ask yourself. Someone disagreed with you about biomechanical leverage for pushups, mentioning he did it as part of his Ju Jitsu warmup, to which you replied:
compare my Tae Kwon Do and weapons skills against your Jujitsu skills
Perhaps the desert heat has fried your brain. Or perhaps you're just such an awesome killing machine that there's no room in your mind for logical thought forming processes, and you've trained your mind to just think "KILL KILL KILL". | |

If it's one thing I've learned from watching documentries on people fighting over in Iraq, the Military certainly teaches you that much indeed. Then again, a soldier would be pretty useless if they tried to resolve violent situations using flowers and candies.
I stand my ground that he would loose if all he used was Tae Kwon Do...against someone in Jujitsu...TKD is only handy if both opponents are fighting the same fight...when you start adding real fighting techniques like groin kicks, punches to the nose or throat, grapling, etc...TKD falls apart pretty quick in my experience.
Funny story, I was watching this documentry on the USS Nimitz and one of the officers shares a story about his grand father once saying, that keeping peace means having a bigger stick than your enemy.
Sad but true... | |

Only in movies unfortunately :-( I am all "KILL KILL FOOD KILL SLEEP KILL KILL WATER KILL KILL MAKE LOVE SLEEP KILL". I need to work on getting rid of all those other silly things. | |

Fabulous work on ignoring my point that it was you who started the pissing contest, by the way. | |

I agree with you on the running part, lighter guys always finished ahead of the rest of us, but EVERY single guy in my unit was able to crank out 100+ pushups, short or tall. Granted that also reflected our level of training.
And in most oppossed boarding actions, or tactical situations in urban enviroments, our guys found themselves, at one point or another, up close and personal with an enemy.
We had to prepare for that, along with every other eventaulity. So I wouldn't dismiss it just because it's "unlikely". | |

I have a suspicion that since you talk about boarding actions and urban assaults that you were in a slightly more combat orientated unit than I ;-)
After last years deployment though, have faith, I am very aware that anyone at any time can have the fight brought to them, hence my personal level of training and continued desire for self improvement. I will be in a more combat orientated unit at some point as well, best to be prepared.
Does it amuse you as much as me that all the people who have never been a combat situation are the ones who feel the best qualified to talk about it? | |

Posted: 5/27/2008 8:36:23 PM | You're dead on brother, we weren't exactly a "garrison" unit!
Thats why I don't comment directly on anyones views about martial arts or fighting...
Knowing about fighting because you watch UFC, is like knowing what getting shot at is like from watching a movie or documentary. Even competitive fighting is different than a REAL life fight. Anyone that doesnt agree, I suggest getting a personal lesson in real life by picking a fight with the bouncer at the local biker bar. | |

"You have never lived until you have almost died. For those who have fought for it, life has a special flavor the protected will never know..." found scratched on a mess kit in Vietnam, author unknow.
You talk about an emotional connection as if it's a bad thing. Why don't you go watch a documentary on men who have seen combat so you have a point of refrence when it comes to men like us.
The fact that you even insinuated that you understood ANYTHING ABOUT ANYONE because you watched a documentary is an insult and makes my blood boil. | |

Relax man. It was only a meant to tease you. I actually have no issues with two grown men bonding, I can even understand that the military bond makes the connection even more important.
Certainly I wouldn't want men in my own armed forces fighting each other, that would be counter productive.
Although, I don't think anyone needs to experience war first hand, in order to understand what it is all about. Documentries, are actually an excellent way for those interested to get an inside view of what is really going on, without actually being there or experiencing it first hand.

That was a little vague, so I can't even defend my position. If your taking what I have said to heart, don't. If you haven't noticed, this whole thread is pretty much a joke.
Relating a street fight to a battle field, is a little rediculous.
I can appreciate anyone serving their country, really I do. Although to insinuate that I know nothing of freedom or life until I experience death...what?
Have I ever been shot at? Nope, don't plan on it either. Do I know people die? Absolutely, I'm well aware that even Canadians die in Afghanistan.
I don't appreciate having any kind of freedom rant shoved down my throat. I am *well* aware of the risks and sacrafices made. I honour my fallen country men every year on November 11 (Canadian Rememberance Day) and have done so for as long as I remember. Freedom is impetus to my Countries success, and unfortunately freedom ain't free, this I know as good as any.
To recap, I don't need to experience war first hand to truly appreciate freedom. You might have a different perspective as to the "actual" cost of freedom than me or anyone who has not been there, but that doesn't make you any more appreciative, to suggest that is insulting. Which is how I interpreted that last statement.  | |

Posted: 5/28/2008 12:03:59 AM | Yes, please dont get offended. I think most of us understand that CT is just goofing off with his e-peen again. I'm pretty sure nothing said here really offends him. I hope you don't take it to heart.
Back on topic: I think the point is that martial arts is a very broad term for many disciplines and people tend to take it a bit too seriously for a non-physical internet forum. At least, that is how I took it.
Since I am now taking fencing lessons, that makes me a martial bada$$ too, but I am not ready to spar with any over-sized soldiers just yet. | |

That is an ignorant statement.
That's like saying reading about roman history is a good way to understand being crucified. Or hearing a sad love song is the same has having your heart broken. Or watching Winnie the Pooh is the same as getting mauled by a grizzly bear.
Now maybe I'm touchy because I just observed the U.S.'s Memorial Day this weekend, and am remembering to many friends that aren't with us, but honestly, I think I'm just annoyed by "armchair commandoes" acting like they know anything about war.
And this isn't a freedom rant. I've never fought for freedom, or seen blood spilled for it. But, I know plenty who have shed blood for their friends, squadmates, and shipmates. They are the one's I feel are insulted by people who say they understand because they watch TV.
You may appreciate, and Im very glad of that, but pretend to understand when you so obviously don't, is a sign of disrespect to the fallen. | |

Posted: 5/28/2008 12:43:36 AM | I think there's a big difference between understanding something and appreciating it. I understand that having boned broken with hurt, but I'm sure that wouldn't prepare me for the reality of having my hand smashed with a sledgehammer.
You can know everything there is to know about a lot of things but never appreciate them until they happen to you. | |

Documentries, are actually an excellent way for those interested to get an inside view of what is really going on, without actually being there or experiencing it first hand. I grew up reading war books, watching war documentaries and movies and playing with little toy soldiers. All I watched on cable was History and Discovery channels.
None of it is anything like laying in the dirt with the sound of a mortar falling coming from above- watch this and you can get an idea of what it is like- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQhr9tGKSZ4 . It is still nothing like living it.
Absolutely, I'm well aware that even Canadians die in Afghanistan. 'Even Canadians'? There are around 30 countries in Iraq and 35 in Afghanistan. The third most moving experience in my life, after two of my relatives funerals, was standing in the funeral procession for a Dutch soldier. An Australian soldier went out on the flight I came in on from what I heard. Does not matter who is dying, we are all there doing our part and respect goes to all the dead from all the countries on our side and the uninvolved civilians on theirs.
You have not lived it. You do not know it. I am not going to get angry with you, I just think it best if you just quitely nod your head and sit back down. | |

Posted: 5/29/2008 7:42:54 AM | If the Op is even reading this anymore due to the Bs, my advice is to not neglect the legs. They are the biggest muscle group, also they will release the most serum testosterone when lifting and increase your gains. Plus your body wants to stay in balance-little stick legs look like crap on a huge upper body. Try some single leg squats, lunges, single leg roman deadlifs, jumping squats. Dont neglect the shoulders-you can do a headstand to shoulder press for this. Also do some mountain climbers, woodchoppers, etc for core. Sinnce you dont want to count calories and want to grow, you are gonna hav e to risk some fat gain in order to get enough cals to grow. When you put th emuscle on, less food and hit the treadmill. Get a good protein powder 3x a day, maybe creatine too. Most other supps except roids are worthless
BTW bodyweight exercises are called calisthenics
