Martial Arts conformity experiment

I'd like to suggest that people avoid posting anything that they like to use word-for-word on the off chance that someone googles it and has this thread appear on the first page. (I presume that's why Yohan wants to PM us the name.)

It might be useful to have content in several languages in order to give the appearance of international reknown(conformity par excellence), I'll throw my French into the hat if anyone else can do other languages.

 

I imagine once the ingredients are in order, this thread will be deleted.
I cant wait for the 50 page mega thread on 8ullshid0 about it

 

I don't really believe in deleting things from the internet, but then maybe my foil hat is cutting the circulation to my brain.

 

Oh, easy fixed mate. Put the foil inside a beanie! It'll expand when your head does!!

Sing with me now brother, "Ive got my tin-foil hat on"....

:jester:

 

Yes! That's good. I'm in the same boat as you Anwolf.

 

So Yohan - when are you sending out a full list and description of this "Fakey Fuey"?

 

Patience, young grasshopper

 

Yes - that would be super awesome!

 

We need to think out the "traditional" philosophy aspects of this, too. Confucius was not opposed to the martial arts (http://www.kungfumagazine.com/ezine/article.php?article=445), but obviously his overall philosophy was peaceful.

When was the art established? (Rough time period - we can claim loss of records when the martial arts temples were all destroyed in the late 1920s. (Shaolin temple was burned in 1928, so we could easily expand that to include eradication of all martial arts schools not associated with the military.)

The time period would help establish a philosophical baseline from which we could expand and develop. We need to make sure that the "sport" branch would be seen not simply as an interesting development but that it would be close to apostasy.

Just my thoughts on the subject. Heading to DefCon.

 

Well if we're still going with the "alexander the great's soldiers in china" story, then i think its pretty far back. we could argue that confucius philosphy was adopted by the local population later.

 

My plan is to wait until it's going, then join and then claw my way up to the top using evil psychological manipulation. Then I'll take the money and set up something even worse, and generally act like a hole.

 

Wait do we have to put up our real age?

Because if I have been training under guru Big Mikey for a decade then I've been training since I was ten.

 

We like to start them young so they have fewer bad habits and arent smart enough to realize just how badly half the stuff we ask you to do will HURT.

Damn, you just reminded me I'll be 43 on Saturday... good LORD....

 

is this going anywhere or has it been abandoned?

Or is it really an experiment on us? Hmmm?

 

^This

 

Only read through the first two pages. I'd like to join in as a black belt or a "newbie" to your art.

 

That would be incredibly typical of psychologists!

 

The correct answer to an "either/or" type of question is "yes".

Sheesh. Kids these days.

 

I can handle translation into Chinese and Welsh. Just PM me the terms you need.

 

DAMMIT! I have a busy spurt and I miss out on grandmasterness, or second in command. Can I still be in? What do I get a white belt status at this stage?
