Mav Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 I've always been a fan of Jackie Chan's stuff. And I've got three or four of Bruce Lee's stuff on dvd (fists of fury, enter the dragon, chinese connection etc). They are entertaining but unlike science fiction, I just don't like them enough to go out of my way to find them and download them or watch them on tv. As for a poll, I made the same error; when you click the button for New Topic, right beside it is a button for New Poll. the default new topic option doesn't include all the stuff to make a poll.

Carlvsi Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 I would say that I am into martial arts, I always try to watch the movies when they are on. I must admit that I do not actually practice any, although one of these days I will get round to it as I see it a a good form of keep fit. I would have like to have got into practising at an early age as that is always easier but there were no facilities in my youth. I did once buy a teach yourself karate book, which I kept in my car and read whenever I was in a traffic jam(which was quite often on the M25 - London ringroad). I too own a few Bruce Lee movies on VHS which I like to watch every now and then. I love the Kung-Fu stuff in movies, most notably Crouching Tiger. The choreography was amazing and it added a kind of magical feel to it. I also own a few samurai sword copies as I couldn`t afford the original antiques. I bought one once in France when I was 16 and coming through customs I was called over and asked the usual question "No drugs, food-stuffs or animals" to which I replied no. I didn`t even take into account the sword sticking out of my backpack. Neither did customs notice and through I went. Apparently I should have declared it. I think it stems from from love of anything from the Orient, I love the art, culture and people. I have lots of Oriental bits and pieces, and I love Bonsai. I liked the idea that it was defence rather than offense, even though martial comes from Mars - The Bringer Of War... I actually had a friend called Jack Chan from china, we went on a business trip to Holland and I was conned into singing kareoke in a Chinese restaurant just outside Rotterdam. I haven`t seen any of the modern movies yet, there seem to be many which now involve some kind of martial art. I`ll get round to them one day. I don`t think I`ll be reading the book by BorisP that I heard so much about as I visited his website....nuff said. ;) Anyway after all that I think the answer is still a big YES. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caldor Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 As a child I learned martial arts to defend myself against bullies at school. The thing I like about, now as an adult, is the philisophy of the whole excercise. Its not about learning to bash people. I do far less excersise than what I should now Im older, maybe I should get back to it. The movies themselves, I dont like them to be honest. Dunno, scifi to me is always about opportunity and potential - rather than the here and now. Im excited about the possible futures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TetsuoShima Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 btw how come i'm not allowed to create a poll (which i wanted todo here)' date=' what rank do i have to be??? or is it a glitch in the matirx???[/quote'] afaik, 'ordinary' polls are no longer allowed in Ten Forward. If you wish to create one, you'll have to do it in Mos Eisley. This is a consequence of all the silly polls that were created here a few moths ago.... sorry...

Relentless Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 I've practiced Martial Arts and I can very well tell you from experience that in practice, Martial Arts can help you discipline yourself provided you have a sufficient teacher. The arts are definately nothing to be used for offensive purposes but in self-defense in my oppinion anyways. Of course then again in offensive for the defensive. Lmao loll I'm confusing myself here. Well the point is, I was calmer and less hostile when I was going to a dojo and working out. It's great exercise and you can learn stuff from people who've been through more than youself :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

str82u Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I like to watch movies that are mixed, like some of Jackie Chan's stuff, but I quit watching the cheesey ones when I was about 13 or 14. Some of the stuff Jet Li pulls of is fun to watch, and of course, who can forget Bruce Lee, that guy had it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GewehrSoldat Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 I learned brazillian jiu jitsu while I was in the army, and I like to watch the different UFC matches. Nothing as fancy as spinning midair and cutting an engine block in half with your left pinky toe, but it gets the job done. Honestly, though. I would rely on my rifle before I tried to grapple with someone in a home defense situation. Out in the street, it's all about survival if someone attacks you, at that point I have no problem ripping someone's eyes out of their sockets, so I would have little incentive to try for an arm bar.
