It's odd how widespread the idea that Europeans did not have established martial styles is. Do people believe the Roman army to have been a horde of barbarians with unkept swords biting themselves through their enemies? Is their mental image of the fencers of the renaissance a bunch of heavily muscled brutes swinging their swords like overweight axes?

Quite an entertaining read, in any case. I do wonder, however, where he got the idea that we hate martial arts that take any skill to master.
You know how it is. If it's not Asian it's not a martial art. I once got into a major flame war just for mentioning Chuck Norris as a great martial artist.

Chuck Norris lost his virginity before his dad did.

Chuck Norris isn't hung like a horse, horses are hung like Chuck Norris.

If paper beats rock, scissors beats paper, and rock beats scissors, what beats all three at the same time? Answer: Chuck Norris

Scientists used to believe that the diamond was the world's hardest substance. But then they met Chuck Norris, who gave them a roundhouse kick to the face so hard, and with so much heat and pressure, that the scientists turned into artificial Chuck Norris'.

If you want to see a list of Chuck Norris' enemies, just check the extinct species list.

Chuck Norris owns the greatest poker face of all time. It helped him win the 1983 world series of poker despite him holding just a joker, a 2 of clubs, a 7 of spades, a green number 4 from Uno, and a Monopoly 'get out jail free' card.

One time while sparring with Wolverine, Chuck Norris accidently lost his left testicle. You might be familiar with it this day by its technical term: Jupiter.




I could go on, but I think that's enough to get your asses on the floor laughing...or at the very least, raising one eye brow in confusion.

This guy sounds like a tool, just cause Europeans have no gis or katas or yings and yangs, he feels he has the right to say there is no structured style in the west? We should waste 'em... xd

Your pictures only show simple techniques...show me some applicable complicated stuff, and I might believe you.
Also, how did you get my username?
...I swear, you "western martial arts" people...

Well look at it this way where there is war there is martial arts. Every where you look people know things about armed and unarmed combat from Africa to Europe and asia it may be hard to find but its there.

It depends on what you consider a Martial Art.

Please don't send me anymore messages, I have better things to waste time on.


Well I sent some info on the english Quarterstaff and some history on Savate.

Martial-Of, relating to, or suggestive of war.
Relating to or connected with the armed forces or the profession of arms.
Characteristic of or befitting a warrior.

Art-The conscious production or arrangement of sounds, colors, forms, movements, or other elements in a manner that affects the sense of beauty, specifically the production of the beautiful in a graphic or plastic medium.
The study of these activities.

Not realy what I was looking for on art but any way but put together we all get the idea.

Seconded.

I tried to reason with him....but he's made it very clear that he's not going to change his position, however faulty it may be.

Here's a question. What's with the opposition part of the guild? No one has made any attempt to post in it. I say we find someone who is willing to debate with us.

I think we also need to do more advertising on the MA threads of Gaia....I'm kinda done with my recruiting campaign and I hope the rest of you could help out in that area.

A key to looking around for active MA threads....don't just search the sports forum. Every once in a while an MA thread will pop up in E.D. and G.D(g.d. usually has more dubious claims in their MA threads).....avoid chatterbox at all costs, for obvious reasons.

Say, do you have a link for the ABG banner? I couldn't find it.
