pretty sweet. the chain-wrap-over-hand thing is especially impressive.

the only thing that counts, as far as i'm concerned, is that my quickdraw video is shorter.

Indeed, gun > *

Its kinda sad. I could be a complete nun-chuck master like Bruce Lee, and a 14 year old could point a gun at me and I'd be screwed.

as defensive arts go, i'm moving top-down.
i worked on rifle, then handgun, now i'm starting into martial arts.

Electrofreak · 2004-10-29, 11:41 PM

Sweet. What style of martial arts?

martyr · 2004-10-29, 11:48 PM

there's a local school that teaches a really good mix of tae kwon do, jujuitsu, karate, kempo, judo, and some crazy brazilian modification techniques. they use style blends and transitions as well as the individual disciplines; neat stuff.

Hmm. A mix sounds like a good bet, you benefit from the best of each martial arts style. My younger brother is a sensei at the local Isshin Ryu karate school, hes a big karate nut. I've learned a some karate, but I've always been more interested in weapons. (Nun-chuku, epee fencing, and archery thus far). While its not very practical (I doubt I'll ever get into a fight with my nun-chuku, a foil or a compound bow handy) I enjoy it a bit more. Perhaps some day I'll get back into unarmed defense, it certainly is the most useful if somebody decides to push you around.

I hate to say it, but ANY video of somebody practicing their moves with martial-arts related stuff while trying to be "flashy" will always make me laugh.

Thereunto:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Electrofreak · 2004-10-30, 07:26 PM

Thats fair, I expected it to a degree anyhow.

Some white guy with a unibrow did karate at one of my schools pep rallys.

Seriously, the man has a cro-magnon caveman pushed forward forehead.

Personally, I'm not the type to laugh at a demonstration of skill, unless it really sucks. If its apparent that somebody put the time and the effort into learning something, I have to appreciate that. I've seen some pretty friggin awesome displays of skill at the Isshin Ryu academy.

And... then I've been to a couple talent shows where the amount of "talent" the demonstrator had was painfully low. You can't help but snicker a bit at people like that.

Reminds me of that scene from that Bruce Lee movie where he awes the bad guy with nunchuck skills before clobbering him.

Except that you are a little bit off. And missing all the muscles.
