martial arts discussion

I support anything that supports killing, especially when its about killing humans.

Killing = sin. Unless you are doing it for the right reason.

Anyone seen this recent hongkong made "IP man" movie ? The movie showcase the founder of wingchun martial art.
Bruce lee is one of his students. Pretty interesting.

Here's a trailer:

I did wing chun for a brief period of time, quite like the concept and fortunately it is far more down to earth and serious rather than aiming for flashy moves (*cough* taekwondo and wushu *cough*). Unfortunately after some digging it turned out that the teacher had a very questionable background training, several senior students quit as he was messing around with the techniques and it all just seemed a bit sketchy. Actually he claimed to have studied under Yip Man's top student (cant recall the name), but according to other sources he was doing alot of taekwondo and only remained for a few years for wing chun.



But at the end of the day, if you want to learn self-defense, don't bother as much with traditional/sporty martial arts (unless they favour a light build/older age where it might actually work better). Instead, go for combatives. Krav Maga, Systema and such.

And for any woman whos worried about getting raped, just take a dump while its taking place. Sounds a bit weird, but I bet its effective.

killing=sin? HAHAHA, is that all that is keeping you from killing? What else is considered a sin, why Adam and Eve were thrown out from paradise?

How about unneccesary, or unethical?
