    More on the next page--that's some pretty wild shooting, though, isn't it? I've noticed the effect myself, though, even in more realistic computer games like counterstrike, sometimes the adrenaline gets flowing and the accuracy drops.
    Maybe it's time for more of those natural shooting articles/courses.

    A regrettable and stupid incident, but what annoys me about it is that people judge real martial arts based on this stuff.

    Publicity, indeed. :rolleyes:

    This bit gets me...

    He hacked his wife to death for petes sakes!! Thats a bit more than just "some emotional problems".

    Notice the report didn't actually say what MA he did. For all we know, he could be a Judoka who just bought a few swords and thought he was untouchable.

    True enough. Meh, someone will always try to vindicate even the obviously guilty.

    Plus, adding on to that, who's saying that his black belt isn't from some random McDojo? All it said was 'MA expert' and we know the hoi polloi's take on that statement. :rolleyes:

    And, on a random topic, I like your avatar, Kgirl. Poptarts rule.

    Notice the WAS in it, yea, pretty much hes a crazy freak. I don't care how mad or ****ed off you are you don't hurt your wife, non the less kill her and he's a black belt. He should of been more disiplined and more stable then usual people.

    The sword bent?

    They say ceremonial. Bronx?

    They weren't real blades. You can't get real blades in NY unless you do it illegally. It was a hell of a time finding a fake-o taiwan blade.

    Basically he probably went to an army&navy store and bought a piece of crap and now say he is a Samurai.

    WHY COULDN'T HE USE A STEAK KNIFE LIKE REAL MURDERERS!!!!!!!!!!!

    You guys are pretty sick. Some poor lady got sliced to bits and your criticizing the martial ability of her killer. How bout we just say it was probably just bad reporting and that be the end of it.
