    [OT] Yet another martial arts help thread.....so, please help!!

    I like it that way too Kail. Good thoughts up there and more things that I hadn't thought about in years. We used to say we can teach you the right way to swing a sword, but it takes a lifetime to master it. If it was easy to learn then everyone would do it. Because it is difficult to learn...

    What stores print PDFs?

    It is more cost effective to just have them print them on regular paper both sides and then spiral bind them. hope that helps... Darius

    What stores print PDFs?

    Color pages at my local shop with highquality paper will cost me about $.50 a sheet pushing way past being worth it.

    What stores print PDFs?

    The kinko's in my area is a "if it is copywrited don't come to us place" I decided to take my to a local Speedy Printer and they have no problem with it at all. 2.5 cents a page there as opposed to 5cents at kinkos. Bound varies but spiral bound seems to work and costs like $1.25 at the...

    Enterprise 02/04/03

    Vulcan high command is a new contivence that is in place in Enterprise. The old series had a different system I believe. I can think of a number of episodes where they contacted the Vulcan government ...how about in STIV ? Gotta go to the video to check more out about this. Darius

    Thanks for the reminder Dinkledog. Aikido is more of a controlling art than an aggressive hard art. They learn or try to learn how to control an opponent without hurting them. To reflect an attack continuously until your opponent get's tired and no longer wants to fight. It was not created or...

    Aikido is very effective against a grappler. I agree with Tacky on this one all the way. It takes about 18 months of study to be able to use effectively. It also depends on your teacher and your skill as a student. Tai Chi when used as self defense is totally devastating. it takes a long to...

    Another reason to train I had forgotten the true reason why I started in Martial Arts...This thread has remminded me. I hope i can articulate it properly for you all.... I wanted inner peace. I liked the idea of the martial arts for the philosphy's of Zanshin and the idea of No Mind. I learnd...

    hmmm interesting still and just as entertaining. Cyragnome good post ... Tacky it is still salvagable. The topic is still looking for a Martial Art to study..... Lannon states arguments that go back beyond 4BC or so. History has shown that the Greeks and Chinese had arguments about this...

    Martial Arts is a type of education. Thanks for making my point more clear. lol I have not only worked in law enforcement but I have seen the statistics. There is crime in many areas including Affluent Areas and neighborhoods. Affluence is not a measure of a person's honesty or integrity. It...

    Enterprise 02/04/03

    I am wondering why the vulcans are so Romulan like in this series? That is just one of the things that has bothered me since last season. T'Pol is a sub commander? Couldn't they have made up some type of different clasification? We have not ever heard of a Vulcan Military and we know from...

    Greyhawk: Temple of Elemental Evil CRPG

    NWN was made in conjunction with WOTC to ensure the rules were followed.... Haven't heard if they are doing that with this comp game but it would make sense that they are if they want to use the rules to make the game work right. Would like to know more about this game I have always loved...

    :D :D :D :D :rolleyes: :eek: :D :D :D :D :) Pat, Did I actually say Grappling will never happen in a fight? ummmmm you didn't read too carefully so I guess I will post the quote again..... My Wing Chun teacher learned to control his center line and therefore avoid all grappling. Wing...

    (TTT) (SPOILER CAUTION) Could Treebeard have been better portrayed by PJ?

    I just saw it tonight again and I think that it seemed to me like the enitre Ents thing was in there cause it was in the book. I liked it ....but it wasn't as clear as it should have been. I hope in the extended version they clarify it more. Your points above are well taken and well thought...

    This is what we used to recite before class and is the warrior code I spoke about earlier. I am breaking it down by it's kanji names taken from Gyoko-Ryu style of Ninjutsu. We used a hand position from Mikkyo Buddhism when reciting this in Seiza position. Jin - To nurture a smpathetic...
