    ok, im assuming that most of us have at least one time seen a piece of wood broken in half by a master of MA right but has any one seen a piece of paper broken in half the same way cos i reckon that would be alot more impressive ?

    I'd be more impressed by them controlling and besting an aggressive and fully resisting sparring partner of equal experience level allowed to use all ranges & methods to resist.

    I find the destruction of innanimate objects pointless and irrelevant.

    I'm sorry to have to disagree Yoda but the destruction of inanimate objects will always have a place. Particularly so in our modern world.
    When your toaster s****s up or your monitor fades are you going to turn the other cheek.
    You try that BJJ nonsense on a vending machine that steals your money and you'll soon realise your mistake.

    Kindest regards,
    Teacher.

    Destruction is the path to the dark side...

    Destruction leads to anger

    anger leads to hate

    hate leads to..... a broken vending machine and a big fine :D

    ...Have you even seen Star Wars YODA?

    It's "Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering." You'll NEVER be a nerd if you don't get that down.

    Maybe thats why some arts avoid grappling, the demo would look rubbish with the usual piece of wood :D

    Don't try to feed me excuses. You screwed up. As punishment you must watch SW Ep 1 & 2 20 times each. Then you'll be thankful for still having 4,5,6 around.

    Hey! We're totally off topic!

    Yes I have torn a piece of paper with a knife hand strike, cleanly on the 5th time. 1-4 times I had deep paper cuts, I had to go to the hospital and get stitches.

    Also, SW Ep 1 is pointless, except for the fight seen with Darth Maul. Through out the whole entire movie I wanted Darth Maul to slowly torture Jar-Jar, in the most inhumane manner.

    The only good things about Ep 2 is seeing Natalie Portman in those very revealing outfits :D (especially in the deleted scenes on the DVD :D). And yeah, the Yoda fight with Darth Tyranus. :eek:

    And the best SW Ep that rocks is #5. This is the first movie that the bad guy's actually won!

    Oh Yeah! I totally forgot about that!

    I'm wondering what Natalie Portman will be wearing? :D

    And also don't forget that LucasArts is doing a cartoon on the Clone Wars.

    I'm such a geek!

    Actually you want to know what is MORE impressive? Someone who is able to smash several boards or bricks with a single strike or kick, yet with the same techniques demonstrate the precise control necessary to touch a sheet of rice paper without breaking it.

    .... here's a little experiment you can undertake. Next time you are sitting on the loo reading your karate magazines, unroll a bit of the toilet paper roll off the holder and hold it in your left hand. Make sure the whole roll is free to rotate smoothly away from the wall. Locate the perforations after about three or four pieces and strike swiftly across them with the index finger of your right hand. Should the roll spin madly and you end up with lengths of paper on the floor you have failed. If it breaks cleanly along the perforations then you have achieved "Kime" grasshopper .....
