Dont pull on this thread, it is connected

I can't think of any single thread that has affected me the most. There have been a few that have raised my ire some, and there have been a few that make me think. I've also learned a little about what is availabe in terms of traditiona JMA/OMA.

Oh my.....yes there have been a few. Great post, Razor.


TECHNICAL - MuayThai's thread on the MT clinch and related techniques.

HISTORICAL - Shug's thread on the "History of TKD".

MOST FUN I'VE HAD ON THE INTERNET WITH MY CLOTHES ON -

Oldman's "hoodat/youdat". Hilarious, plus got to see the faces that go with some of the writers here. Even with BuDoc flinging me to the lowest rounds of hell (for naught! JohnL beat me to the question anyway!), a great time.

LAUGH AT ANOTHER'S EXPENSE - The "I'm an assassin" thread. Oldman knows the one of which I speak. "Assassins know how to kill, but they don't know how to defend themselves", etc.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA*snork* mmmmWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Oldman's cartoon rocked!


Oh yeah, and the one about the Supreme ultimate Soke (or whatever) that lifted all the "100 gallon containers of ice cream", dug ditches, etc. Idiot, but funny.



EYE OPENER - The "Bushido Academy of Martial arts" thread. The eye opener was not that there are McDojo's in the UK. The eye opener was that so few seemed to care......

Another hilarious Oldman cartoon as well.

LEVITATING WITH RAGE - The various street/sport, striking/groundfighting, X art sucks threads.

Cause I need higher blood pressure. Where's my kool-aide?

*faints*

{some kind of hard to place eastern european accent} "Zere waz song, an-dance and oh! how ve laughed...wahaha."

There were a bunch of threads that inspired me to learn. Some of the best were lost in the migration.
After the first couple of days here the one topic that started me thinking that the forum might actually be a useful tool, It was a thread where I got a pimp-beating from multiversed...lol He pissed me off enough to do some research, and while I was busy digging up some ammo and dirt on him, I came across some really interesting topics by victor, hedkikr, cxt, medulanet, Mr V, sanchin31 and alot of others ...I got sidetracted to the point that I was no longer angry at mv, and started to take a different approach to posting. For that initial virtual hit upside da head, thanx brah.

tons of other memorable posts...one of the funnier ones was the whole Oozuru business with JoelM. For those who missed it: This guy Oozuru claimed to have advanced training in a list of 30-odd styles (he's less than 25 years old) and invented his very own "Raptor" style based on the movements of dinosaurs- he was dead serious. LOL All of these claims in great detail were made to Joel in PM's until Joel produced them on the forum to Oozuru's horror...he continued to defend his claims and sunk himself so far down in the credibility food chain, that he announced shortly after that he was moving to Hawaii. the next day he changed his mind, he will now move to Spain. His reasoning? so he could have a fresh start in a new forum with people that would listen to him...or something like that. uuummm...it's the internet, which is not bound by physical location. he was determined to move...somewhere.
bizzare and hilarious.

Kin,

So that was the Oozuru thing!!! I read the tail end of the postings and didn't get it until you just mentioned it. So that was it..."Raptor Style." What a knuckle-head.

Ok, now I am laughing...

-B

As an eye opener and saviour of my precious money the 'Bushido Academy of Martial Arts' thread was hugely helpful to me, not to mention being the thread that brought me to the forum (you lucky people )

For most enjoyment I would have to say Joel's 'Daily Zen' has been a consistently enjoyable daily ritual, developed from an inspired idea (props buddy).

Cord, stop pulling our chain and stringing us along your tightrope on this thread, you are walking a thin line by not giving a strand of evidence linking even a fiber of evidence to your opinions. now tighten up those bootstraps and stop spining your web of opinionated opinions.

(makes no sense what so ever, but I couldnt resist the pun rush...I'm a hairbrain)

on topic: remember that thread asking people how many 5-year olds they could 'put down' in a fight before being overrun by kicks and scratches to the beans and exhastion? That had to be the most demented, twisted, non-PC, and one of the top funniest threads. people giving their strategies for max count and effeciency, sick lol ... p.s. I think the number that most came up with was about 30-50.

Kin -

I forgot about that one!!! That was so sick and twisted, but totally hilarious!!

yep, 'limb nunchuks', and other such atrocities were fab. I also like any thread to do with Elvis and his MA credentials, just because it is fascinating to see the strength of loyalty he inspires in his fans- I mean, they get really hot under the collar, and its not like anyone disses his voice, just whether he could stop people treading on his blue suade shoes

The most imoportant thing i have learned from not just one thread but all of the ones I have participated in is to respect people's opinion (especially from the "guns as self defence thread" which got out of hand and then back in hand).

But i still stand by my opinion that you could "put down" as someone put it so nicely, more 5 yearolds if you keep moving, just keep moving

This forum has been great...trying to pick a single thread would be immpossible for me. The zen forum, and oldamn`s posts stick out a lot for me. Some of the humouruos ones too...the drunken boxing thing awhile back...never even heard of drunken style before that , I though it was a joke.

lol...reminded me of South America, in the cities (Lima) they had these gangs of kids ( about 10-13 years old I would guess ) they called them "piranas". 20 or so at a time would jump all over you n take anything they could grab and run with. Fighting them would not have been a good idea though, they mostly carried knives too, but didn`t usually use them unless the victim resisted.

I can't find the topic about "you vs thirty five year olds" . Kintama, help!

Couldn't find it. lost in the move, I'm sure.
I ressurrected another one though
