As far as I know, Bullshit is Bullshit, no matter the age of the person posting it or where it is found…and on non MA forums? Where? Oh yes, that would be nowhere! ALL of the people I’ve outed have been on martial arts forums! As for respect…you expect Me to respect people that are obviously lying? Isn’t that what this forum is about, exposing bullshit in the martial arts? People that lie about thier skills are a slap in the face to the martial arts community. To Hell with thier egos.
NO. It is about outing frauds in the MA community. If some punk ass little boys want to pretend they are MA Superheroes to pump themselves up fine. They start teaching then I would have a problem. Outing some youngsters on a personals page is just stupid.
Maybe most don’t but I do…the younger generation, to Me, are the ones that will carry on the traditions of the martial arts after we are gone. The examples that are set today will influence the direction in which they will grow.
We all learn from our mistakes…wait till he gets into a fight…when it dosn’t work…he’ll learn. Well I hope…recently we seem to be getting more and more not so clever people.
Sorry if I distracted…I’m still going over the shock of the random layout changes.
Now to elaborate on My prior statement now that I’m a bit less distracted…
I feel that we, the martial arts community, have a duty to set an example for the generation after us. From the examples that are set today, and from what they learn from us, will influence what they will teach the generation AFTER them. I feel that communities such as this one will help weed out all the Frank Duxs, Ashida Kims, Phils, and other such rubbish that would try to use people’s ignorance to make money and/or mistrain them…and to prevent such frauds from cropping up by outing them today. Not everyone is going to agree, but I can live with that, but that will not stop Me from doing My small part in helping. I’m the first to admit I do not get out into the internet martial arts community much…only in the last few months have I made an active effort to do so, so what I find is only limited to a few MA forums…but as I get around more, the more I will find, and the more I can contribute here.
Again I hope you are PMing these guys. This is more of a personal attack. You are actively searching forums for specific people. It isn’t the same as Frank Dux(published) Ashida Kim (website/published) Phil Elmore (website/Published). You are randomly looking at posts and calling them BS. Except for that 800 Dan 18 year old you aren’t checking their credentials. It isn’t a crusade it is more like a witch hunt. What if it is their teacher is doing this BS. That student may feel they still have legit training and you are a troll. That is why you try to find out where they train. If his instructor has twenty other BS artist stopping one isn’t doing crap. Shutting down the school is better.
Seems to Me that this thead was prefectly fine until a couple of certian individuals showed up and started shitting in it…Gee, I wonder who the trolls REALLY are?
Shit-talking and being young go hand-in-hand, its been that way for ages. Let the kids say what they want and if they get laid outta the deal, more power to em.
