about Q3...isn't it strange how we contribute to a world-wide accessable medium, yet don't talk to people standing right next to us about what we talk about here?




i dont like people. If I did, then I wouldnt be getting my social interaction in this more controllable environment. Here you can click 'ignore posts by....' the guy next to you has to be punched. Life is....more legal here.

#7 What would a Sumo wrestling kata look like?




Heavy and stompy.

#8 If you were hit head-on from the rear by a spinning backfist - where would it hurt?




How can you be hit 'head-on' from the rear? is Mr Fantastic attacking me? If so, then The thing is close by, and he is what I am worried about, not 'Mr Taffy 2007', though he would make a great BJJ player

Question 4: Using unsubstantiated science that you don't have to back up at all...lets say in theory, you could move your arm literally at light speed during a reverse punch - in theory, what would happen to the target?

I'll ask my sparring partners next time.
But I think that the infinite mass increase caused by the acceleration would stop the strike before it actually hit the opponent. [/pocket protector]

Q5: you just passed your shodan test, and while hussling up to collect it, you trip over your own feet and land on your face, which knocks you out for a good 5 seconds. what would be ettiquete when you regained conscienceness? still collect your belt? or sit down, act injured and collect it later when nobody is looking?

Hell yeah I would collect it. I'm so tough, I have to knock myself out. Then I would KO everyone that saw it, so know one could speak ill of me.

#6 You are the owner of a dojo and you are asked to do a 45 second news segment from a local TV station. ...do you decided to show something that you think will get people in the door (marketing-minded clip), or do you show/say what represents closer to what the Art is about (informational-minded clip) ?

News = informational to me.

#7 What would a Sumo wrestling kata look like?

Like this -


#8 If you were hit head-on from the rear by a spinning backfist - where would it hurt?

Not sure, but let's ask RazorFoot.

#9 - Take a hated 1980's male celebrity and put them up against any 80's celebrity of your choice in a hypothetical death match - who are they and who would win?

mine would be: James Spader vs. Micky Rourke - outcome: Rourke NTKO's Spader in 0.3 seconds.

#10 - with all the streamed video, inexpensive video cams, etc ...how come we only find frauds, tricks and fakes when seeing demonstrations of fantastic claims? EVERYONE with super-skill is keping it secret and only share thru anonymous forum texting? Is that what it is?

Good question. Still waiting for that sharp, clear video of UFO's, BigFoot, Loch Ness monster, etc, too. How people go on believing that cr4p with no proof is beyond me.

Thanks, Ed, for proving to me I'm going to hell. I lasted all of 15 seconds.
