“I don’t see the need to train in other arts to do Vale-Tudo…The day I think I have to train kickboxing in order to beat a kickboxing champion, I’m lost.”
Rickson Gracie 2006
“As in 55 years young and 50 years training self-defense (as most of you may know, John [Perkins] was taught to be a warrior from the age of 5 by his father and uncles.)”
From the Attackproof newsletter #48
“John Perkins speaks on the 2003 Seminar Video about how he kicked a guy’s nose off of his face with his police shoes as the guy attempted to wrestle him. In light of the power you can generate with your legs, the way I see it, the guy was extremely lucky because if John didn’t miss he would’ve easily broken the guy’s neck.”
From the Attackproof newsletter #48
“To survive the onslaught of a more powerful opponent, you need to be so light, soft, flexible, and sensitive, that to your opponent, you feel like a phantom or a cloud, dissolving like the liquid-metal terminator, materializing only for the millisecond needed for your strike’s impact.” :icon_roll

“If you are training center line - you are training Ving Tsun (Wing Chun), no matter what you call it…
And if you are not, it is not Ving Tsun - even if you call it that.”

And don’t forget to get wood, everyone just loves the feel of hard man meat up against their back.
Whisper into their ear how good they feel, ask them if they have been working out, state how firm their buttocks feel.
Start to breath heavy.
And remeber, its not gay, its BJJ !!

Question: Whenever anybody else is talking, why do you feel it’s your duty to run in while wearing a thong and start humping the couch?
With a lisp?? Ooooh.
Here is one my Judo coach told me on Thurday night:
“Go easy. If you hurt him, I will hurt you. On second thoughts it doesn’t matter I’ll still hurt you either way”.

I’ll bet it fucking changed.:icon_salu :lookround :eusa_pray

Wastrel commenting on the death of Gary Sloan, 41, who was killed after standing on a railroad track in a karate stance as the oncoming train rumbled toward him.
“Who in their right mind can now dispute my assertion that only the Manure of society flock to and congregate under the banner of the theory-based stylistic arts?”

“I personally don’t take a great degree of pride in crushing the martial arts opposition to my views in the arena of intellectual debate. The problem being, that many of you mental midgets in the martial arts community have the IQ’s equivalent to those of dried bird droppings.”
Kungfoolss 2002
"So, if you want to learn a language, just start using words or ‘pre-constructed’ sentences and you’ll just pick it up through trial-and-error, becoming fluent. Right? To equate that to fighting, it’s the same as believing that if you spend enough time performing movements in some sort of choreographed manner, you’ll be able to become proficient in fighting.
I’m going to guess that they bought/learned that from their respective ‘masters’. I don’t think that I need tell anyone here that following some rote method is not an intelligent way to learn any skill.
Education (principles) + Practice (limited application) = Proper Skill Development
“Katas” and “forms” are the crib notes of the martial arts world… typically employed by the unmotivated and undereducated. While I am sure that they were invaluable for transmitting knowledge among those lacking literacy, the wealth of written information that is available in this modern age, makes such methods obsolete. Want to learn strategy and tactics? Turn to the wealth of written knowledge by military and security professionals. What about sound mechanics?
Look to modern kinesiological research. Everything that you need for a sound education is available in detail. These are sound principles. You won’t find them in some ‘dead’ sequence of movements. As for practice, it’s acknowledged that people tend to do as they train… so if your training is unrealistic, based upon some ill-concieved or ‘mis-interpreted’ methodology, you will not be prepared for reality. Proper training comes from sound principles, not the other way around.
Experience is the harshest teacher and is never consistent. Yet, if you rely upon techniques, it is the only path available."

Jesus, Kungfoolss, please don’t quote yourself. It reeks of, of, of, uh, can’t think of the right term, perhaps you’d help me?
And thanks to Wounded Ronin for using some of this in his sig and bringing my attention to the thread (http://www.bullshido.net/forums/show...t=35327&page=7)
Later in the thread:
What’s wrong with quoting greatness? You act as if it’s sinful. :profe:
Besides, you have to admit the second quote is pretty funny.
there is a tradition in mas that one is called a master by one’s students, not one’s self.
Drawing attention to one’s self, is part of the definition of bullshido…
And are you going to meet up with me and Meex and whoever in December?
You do realize to whom you’re addressing right? I can’t help but draw attention to myself by pissing others off with my statements of truth.
