[Djimbe]

Hahah...looks like someone has roid rage. Yea and I bet Grasshopper style or whatever the fuck its called has great knees and elbows....thats why so many fighters incorporate it into their training....ya right. Don't get mad because you have dedicated your life to a fruity art.

Any time youre willing to put your ass where your Mouth is my school has an Open Door Policy . Ill make sure your first session is Free of Charge . Oh , and I dont NEED Roids , son .

When youre in the Allentown Area let me know . then you can taste my Fruit for yourself .

Looks Like ISALANDKURRY has an invite from DJIMBE. Maybe ISLANDKURRY could take him up on the invite. Maybe Not? Take the test and put the questions to rest.

Wow this is intersting reading. The fact is that anyone can beat anyone at any time. I study traditional southern style internal Kung Fu. I have also studied kick boxing, jujitsu, karate, mui thi along with other styles. I have studied martial arts since I was 7 and have been in countless street fights. One thing that is very true is that in a street fight there are no rules and for you to say that someone is a pussy for doing what they need to do to win a fight is ignorant and you obviously havent been in many real fights. Taditional Kung Fu teaches you some very applicable techniques to use in real life situations not in a ring with a ref to stop the fight. I study Bak fu pi and from personal experience is the best style out there. Not all the other ones dont have somthing good to offer. Learn from all and mix it up.

Ok Mensa Chairman , You live in Cali , I can give you a List of schools , you run in , Dojo Storm , whatever you call it , be sure to bring a Camera . Either way the only "Fags" are ppl running off at the mouth about shit they dont have ANY experience with .

steps for you to follow :

1) Listen
2) Observe
3) Study
4) Train
5) Learn

AND THEN -

6) Speak only on what you KNOW .

The classic traditional vs MMA argument... I don't think I have ever seen a thread on this that hasn't turned hostile. My opinion... I think there are too many variables. I think it depends on the person, where they train, there size and level of physical conditioning, and most importantly their mindset. I've met dangerous mf's on both sides of the fence and an equal amount of shitbirds too.

I usually tell people who ask me how to get good fast to start with boxing/muay thai, then something that teaches throws because I feel that combo gets people decent fast enough, not to mention gets them used to the contact and adrenaline. And as far as the dirty stuff goes, honestly, who needs to go to a school to learn how to grab balls and gouge eyes. It's a time/benefit thing.

But I also have a tremendous amount of respect for many traditional martial artists. They learn many many effective techniques and have alot of effective conditioning drills. Weapon training also.
My advice to you is to do some research. Decide what you want and how much time you have to dedicate. Check out all the local schools and gyms. You might find what you're looking for. As far as mantis goes, when I was a teenager I was big into Shaolin Kung Fu - I learned a couple of Mantis Forms - they had some cool techniques but nothing a thought was the ultimate truth in hand to hand combat. I would trade that time for something else in retrospect. Good luck.

Truth !

The fact is that usually the ppl with NO respect are the ones that have never dipped their toes into both Pools for real . Theyre regurgitating hearsay .

Well , the fact is that thats so far away from whats being taught at these places that its funny . But it DOES make it obvious that certain ppl have never seen the Training because thats what they THINK of as being there .

In all fairness though , "Wushu Mantis" is not the same as the Mantis systems , like 8-step , that ONLY use Mantis as their system . MUCH less gets "Glossed Over" in the Teaching , ESPECIALLY in the Aplication Dept
