getting in fights just to win them is one of the worst ideas ever, you don’t just fight sombody cause you know you will win unless its a videogame or something.
exactly my sentiments.
grood . . . i mean good
and great
great and good
Wing Chun Kung Fu is meant to be the best martial art for street fighting apparently it is like the street fighting version of tai chi
I did boxing for a while, had one fight,won it by stopping him 2nd round winning a fight in front of a crowd is a great feeling probably one of the best things to win lol
And the right cause.
That’s a separate matter.
I meant, anyone can win a fight: just choose the right (i.e. a weaker) opponent. There is no glory in winning a bout (or indeed any other contest) because all it means is that your opponent was weaker than you at that time. (Weaker in the widest sense, not just physical strength.) Whether your sport is boxing, kung fu or fencing, there will always be someone out there who can beat you.
Therefore, your toughest opponent is yourself, because it takes discipline and application to work at improving yourself, not just picking the easy fights, not getting downhearted by the defeats by much stronger opponents, and always remembering that the challenge for most of us is to become as good as you can be, not to become the best.
Which is why I feel that the dilettantes who move from “art” to “art” like gannets at a buffet are missing the point.
woah, thats not what i meant when i said i was considering two other forms of combat, I am going to stick with boxing, i just think that since tai kwon do is right after boxing i could get double the work out in a day. i’m not taking all of them so i can say that i know them all and be an idiot like that… i’m sticking to boxing.
I would love to learn zijiuquan (drunken boxing). I don’t know of any places that teach it though.
Stealing the avatar of the main man is grounds for being pummeled by Chuck Norris. Free JC’s avatar. Originality…it’s hard…it sucks…it makes you different and clever. Don’t try it, it would be dangerous.
Preach it brother.
Have you looked at
There are about 30 in Canada. It’s a small country, only aboot 30 million people, right?
BTW, Aikido is great, it has completely changed the way I walk through the world, on every level.

Mike, it’s very confusing when two forum users have the same avatar.
In this case it is even more so because John is a longstanding member of this community.
Please reconsider.
Here’s a link to a couple of different Guinness avatars if you must have one.

Unicycling Duel
of course the best way of fighting is something that has never been named yet. 2 unicyclists having a fight while staying on their unicycles.
i hate fighting, and I always run away because I think fighting is stupid and it is for losers.
but sometimes I wonder what would happen if i was unicycling up the street, and i collided with another unicyclist, and we had a real all out fight.
or say if i was friends with another unicyclist, and this unicyclist met my girlfriend, and he made a pass at her. or if my girlfri9end started seeing another guy who just happened to be a unicyclist, and we got into a fight over her.
i thought about this because once i saw two guys from the football team get into a fight over this girl, and here they were, 2 football players beating the crap out of each other. what if they were unicyclists instead of football players?
i think i would challange the other guy to a unicycle duel, which asks a new question. what is a unicycle duel?
how would 2 unicyclists have a fight? And this is with the understanding that their unicycles had to be part of the fight.
what would the rules be?
pistols at dawn, like ten pedals and 180 degree turn and fire. classic duel adapted to unicycle form. or perhaps some rapiers?
