47MartialMan?

I've been away for a few days and this lad arrives on the site talking nonsense trying to sound superior to everyone else-and he actually is showing how limited he is by not been able to communicate properly with those who he try's to look down on. Should he be taken seriously?

Maybe, and I'm hopin' here, this is an ironic depiction of some tosser who strings together a lot of crap on message boards to look superior.

Something a lot of us are guilty of. Maybe he read some of the posts and has realised the amount of repitition and crap that is posted. Maybe he's a bell end. Either way, not to be taken seriously


Shane, The

Ive come across many people like him on the net. However, Im going to stay neutral on this one, but mainly because its an Internet forum and I dont really care. My hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia is starting to get to me though (just for the record Im not actually a hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobiac)

a poll on the matter is a tad too far in my opinion

This is not to cover everything in such a mnemonic fashion.

However, to find a starting place;

“The point of language is to make yourself understood, not misunderstood.”
A very good elucidation.

A person writes differently. Instead of others staying on the subject of martial arts, they look to bash or ridicule. I continue to type and edit so I can find an area of acceptance. But should I really change to suit? Shall I consciously do so where others do not?

Therefore when people use other rhetorical comments, using their own subsistence, it is all right for them and not for me. Shall I give promulgation on how others word their posts? For example;
“Hey mate, this bloke is a bloody loon. I know a Bobby by the name of Leo. Enough, I have to break and strike a fag.”

Yet, such is not a distraction to me. I do not take account of how or why (in the fashion of a member’s intention), but the importance of a post is the what. What is the overall and complete message that the poster trying to say? Not so much if I agree or disagree with it.

What could I bring to such a medium (forum) that wasn’t already discussed before and on others?

In reciprocal, what could I learn?


As posted by BobbyOLeary, with further commentary by me;

Question 1) What could I bring to such a medium (forum) that wasn’t already discussed before and on others?

Answer: Not much probably, though as a martial artist you must realize the importance of revisiting older material to gain a fresh viewpoint on it. Maybe you could come up with something new and brilliant, but then again I'm probably being facetious.

A fresh viewpoint? Not so. I had visited and observed without registering a multitude of forums for a long period of time. All have the same monologue. Everything is more tenebrous than ever before. How can I come up with something new and brilliant when others are just trying to re-invent the wheel? Or make claim to things as if it/they were the best thing since sliced bread?

Question 2) In reciprocal, what could I learn?

Answer: A lot I would think. There's a lot of very experienced people on this, most of which are happy to help with anything relating to MA, whether TMA or MMA.

And this is the tribulation. In the distant pass, it was the idea to learn physical methods, i.e. fighting, for survival de facto. The very essence of the word martial was not about the divergence of style or methods. In the turn of the latest century (ies), such divergence became arresting. It was Eastern verses Occidental. Then inter-Eastern, such as Japanese verses Chinese. Currently, is the interpolation of acronyms such as TMA, MMA, CMA, JMA, KMA, BJJ, JJ, TCMA, TJMA, WC-WT-VT, MT, TKD, TSD, KSW, to name a few. Along with the “exegesis” of such, passing the guard, reverse punch, takedown, fluid, isolated, fight ranges, etc.

With this, how could it matter what martial art (s) had I studied. To give absolute, I studied many martial arts when there were limited instructors and enmity. Each art that I had studied was not out of shear avant-garde.

---

I come on there to learn, and ask questions, and get opinions on training or technique from experience MA people, and all this recent posting is outside of the goals of this forum.

Returning once again to the questions:

What could I bring to such a medium (forum) that wasn’t already discussed before and on others?

In reciprocal, what could I learn?

How can such a medium, per a forum, actually do this? In the analogy of teaching and/or learning from a video or book, it is almost loutish. What manner can a forum aid in making me a better martial artist? Could it be that a forum is a place where shared aspirations are presented, having the same discussions repeated, and a place to chat? If the forum went down, if I was banned, etc., would it hinder me to continue to be a martial artist without boundary?

In conclusion, how can such a forum, be such an essentiality to my life, my existence, and my survival in a social structure? For that matter how can martial arts do the same? The general populace does not participate in either, yet survive. Given the example of my parents and grand parents who had not these and lived on to ripen old ages.

Exactly why your talk is not very intelligent-no one knows what your dribbling about..:D

A poll on whether someone should be taken seriously or not goes agains the rules and spirit of this board. Thread closed, and bilbo banned.

I'm away for the weekend, don't make me see more of this sh*t when I return.
