Well, here's the best thing I can tell you then. Next time you see a movie and like a few of the songs in the sountrack for that purpose then buy it and make yourself a mixed tape/CD to workout to.If you want some suggestions,

All three Matrix movies, not every song fits your requirements but at least 60% will.

 Because of the things you dont want what I'll assume you want to look for is some sort of techno with good base and drum beats.

Some older stuff then, INXS, Duran Duran.

Just whatever gets you a little hype.

So if you were going to go to a rattan furniture store or order some from a rattan supply place what would be the process to make it into the stick you want?

Quote from: Russ Iger

2. Learned this from a tourist guide to New Orleans: if a robber
asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away
from you ..... chances are that he is more interested in your wallet
and/or purse than you and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD
IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!



Another good trick with this is to carry, in your "off pocket" a $10.00 or $20.00 bill wrapped around a roll of ones. When you pull it the would be mugger will get greedy (especially if he cant take his eyes off it) and you chuck it away from you same as above.

Realisim is for documentaries or instructional videos. I mean you want a certain amount of it so things amke sense but it really is for entertainment. I know people that freaked about the knife forging thing and i was like "Hey, its a movie, not an instructional video on forging." I mean if they are debating whether or not it would take that long, or if its possible, enough heat from the fire. If all those things were included accurately nobody would like the movie as it would be to long and to much like a documentary.

Martial Arts Topics / 1 stick vs. 2 sticks

My two cents. What feels better to you? Do that. While you should definately train with both hands, with one stick and two sticks, and maybe even both hands on one long stick, try out what feels natural to you and work on the rest when you gain more confidence.

Has anybody been able to try this out personally? I thought it looked good but i dont know how gimmicky it might be. i mean just cause the guy can stand on it without breaking doesnt mean its a good striking tool.



In my zest I forgot this

Martial Arts Topics / "Kali" player on trial for killing bouncer
« on: April 15, 2005, 06:18:04 AM »
Actually serrations dont have any bearing down here legally they just make the knife look scary to some. The two determining factors are type and length. For instance any assisted opening, switchblade, or even a folder you can "flick" open, are all considered gravity knives, which are illegal. The inches thing is more about the take of the police. I have never seen any law here that says anything about a "legal" specific amount of inches.

Martial Arts Topics / "Kali" player on trial for killing bouncer

Blake, 32, got into a dispute with one of Umali's friends, Jonathan Chan, about a cigarette, and Blake grabbed Chan around the neck. Umali, a computer network administrator, stabbed Blake in his upper thigh with a 6-inch-long fold-up knife used in kali, a Filipino martial art that includes knife-fighting.


This bothered me a little bit in that I dont remember there being "specific folders" for any art. I could be wrong but blades are blades. Most differences are regional and by maker.

Now for my 2 cents.

I dont think this situation was good per say but I do have a couple of things to interject.

1.) As far as the teaching of "deadly arts" its always been my understanding that to learn to defend from them its best to also know how to do the attacks as well as to defend. Also, take anyone with a little smarts and a willingness to read and practice and you have your deadly expert. If you have enough medical knowledge you can easily know which arteries to strike at and thier locations or even just get a chart that shows you how and where. Im sure in this day and age, you could surf the net and find all sorts of pertinant material on the subject.

2.) Teachers are not responsible for thier students actions per say. Now I do believe that if there is someone with an obvious problem that you should let them go but its almost alleviating the responsibility of the individual. Its like saying heavy metal music made the 80's crowd kill themselves. If I show someone how to find the stress point of a building support so they know what to look for in repairs, is it then my fault if they use that knowledge for an evil action? If thats the case we get into the whole idea of banning knowledge.

3.) Now I dont know the specifics of this as I wasnt there but it does sound like the accused was at fault. Knowing that some of you are bouncers understand that this is not a general statement. Sometimes bouncers go to far. I myself have had two circumstances where it happend. In one a place had roughly 8 bouncers. Im about 5'10" 200 lbs. This guy roughly about 6'6" and at least 300lbs, after knocking into me several times on the dance floor so that I had to move away only to have him follow me, decided to push me to prove his point. The guy is huge so I kind of jump back and pull him with me as he pushes and he almost falls, on me. Long story short the bouncers snatch up me and my friend and basically pin us respectively against the bar and the wall, while the monster gets to take pot shots at our faces. Another time I had another huge bouncer "choke me out" as my frind was getting pushed around by four or 5 guys and as one tried to swing around the bouncer to hit him I grabbed his arm. Now the first one just sucked but the second. Being locked up on my throat and leaned on and not being able to breathe is a scary thing. I dont know who this guy is and if he knows when to stop. I wouldnt blame anyone in that situation for going ape, its a natural reaction. Are somethings excessive, sure but the amount of force and type used to restrain somebody might have those kind of consequenses.

4.) Going underground with Martial arts will only make things worse and you'll have these finger of death stories and the like all over the place.

And sorry I didnt think it would be that long and its a bit of a rant.

Thanks for reading.
