Wasn't Cleveland once actually a city defined by culture, diversity, and a spirit of alternative thinking? Don't we all have the basic right to decide for ourselves what we like and what we don't? In the end, don't we all just have the right to be different...?

Well... screw you, Mr. Mayor, and screw every last one of you politicians. Screw the Republicans, the Democrats, the Regionalists, and the Libertarians. Screw the brainless idiots, screw the silver-spoon kids driving their luxury cars, screw the preppy types and the pseudo-intellectuals who bury their heads in the sand. Screw the pop stars selling their souls for a quick buck, screw the ministers, deputy ministers, directors, and board members. Screw the "artists" living off the elderly and begging for a beer every day, screw the celebrity morons, screw Miroslav and Škoro, and screw the 10,000 idiots who showed up to his concert. Screw everyone at CBS and local news stations. Screw the hacks who can't see past a cheap beer. Screw black and white, screw yellow and red, screw Catholics, Orthodox, Muslims, Jews, and Buddhists. Screw Americans and Russians, screw criminals and screw the cops—those frustrated idiots with badges pinned to their chests. Screw the athletes because they're as dumb as hell, screw the professors, the masters, and the PhDs, and screw the academics who talk their whole lives away while nobody listens. Screw the journalists, screw the globalists and the anti-globalists because you've ruined the planet. Screw homosexuals and heterosexuals, screw the homophobes, and screw the Nazis and Communists alike. Screw the soldiers—who even are you people anyway? Screw the cardinals and the church elite with your fairy tales and smoke and mirrors. Screw the populists, screw the bus drivers who spend all day being pissed off, screw everyone who works yet hasn't seen a paycheck in months because they're too stupid, and screw everyone who spends their entire life bowing their head while getting screwed over....

Merry Christmas to you all, and screw this damn New Year.......

Right back at you, friend... Hahaha 🙂 I totally love your perspective. 😂🤣

Hahahaha 🙂 Yeah, I'm basically a stuntman at this point, haha 🙂 Just typing away on my keyboard here, lol 🤣

Anyway, thanks. I'm going to go check out some of these skills to see what all the hype is about.

They filmed those shots multiple times because they needed them, but yeah, enough takes to show it can be done every single time. It’s not actually that hard if you stay in shape, though some parts... 😲...

I managed to pick up a decent backflip in just two days. Sure, I beat myself up about a hundred times along the way, but I landed it, so that's what matters. I don't think it's too difficult, just pretty painful when you're starting out... 🙂

Thanks, Hannibal 🙂

Haha, well, I should have seen that coming... 🙂 Just messing around here, talking big just for the laughs... 🤣 It’s all total nonsense, really, but they kept mentioning these "strategic moves," so I was curious what they actually meant by that... 🙂

Nah, don't worry about my take on it. Like I said, we’re looking at this from the perspective of just trying to stay intact enough to enjoy our own hobbies and whatever else we fancy five or six years down the road... 🙂

Right? Haha... 🙂 This guy is absolutely stone-cold in this movie. Honestly, even an Abrams tank would probably take a hit from him... 😂 🤣

Roger Gonzalez said:Pick one discipline and drill it four times a week. You'll see way better results that way.

Gymnastics fits in with everything, and parkour is fun—though it’s definitely risky.

Hmm... Okay, thanks. Could you maybe suggest a sport that incorporates acrobatics with striking? You know, those crazy flips and all that stuff. Basically, the more "monkey business" involved, the better. Neither he nor I are really the types who just enjoy walking and meditating. I actually love jumping around and spinning myself out... lol. And yeah, nothing to do with Capoeira. It’s cool and all, but from what I’ve seen, it isn't quite my vibe.

By the way, I am absolutely loving this. You guys are definitely going to laugh until you cry—I know why, but it's not even because of that, it's just how ridiculous these moves are that this guy is pulling off.

I tried searching for what specific discipline this is, but then it hit me... it might not even be a single discipline, but likely just a wild mix of intense BJJ moves. I see traces of parkour in there too, along with all the other nonsense, but hmm... If this actually is a specific skill, please let me know, because I'm trying to find it and every link I click just leads to another BJJ video, over and over again.

Ultimately, we're interested in that martial art that ties in with parkour and gymnastics.

If anyone has a suggestion, I would be truly grateful. You can see we're just rambling here, lol... 😂🤣

Alright gang, I have a somewhat silly question for you all, but I figured I’d ask the absolute experts here so I can play around with your advice... Since I apparently have way too much free time on my hands, a buddy of mine—who is just as deep into these weird niche worlds as I am—and I decided on this little plan...

1.) Tai Chi
2.) Gymnastics & Parkour
3.) Ninjutsu

So, we’re looking at 2 days of Tai Chi (Tuesday, Thursday), 2 days of Ninjutsu (Monday, Wednesday). We’ll probably take a rest day because we’ll be totally wiped out halfway through, so Saturday would be gymnastics, and Sunday would be a day out in the woods just tearing it up... aka Parkour.

Now, why this specific mix...

Tai Chi—mostly for that whole awareness aspect and trying to hit that elusive internal peace.
Gymnastics—because we really want to be able to stretch ourselves out like rubber bands.
Parkour—well, clearly we aren't too worried about our teeth, and honestly, we've basically been acting like monkeys, climbing and jumping on branches since we were kids, so...
Ninjutsu—even though the whole ninja thing doesn't actually attract us and isn't the end goal, it just feels like it would fit perfectly with this specific combination.

So? Is this ridiculous? I know it sounds crazy, but does anyone see a better combo? Lol. P.S. We did think about Krav Maga, but we're still total rookies at this, so we'd rather get some solid fundamentals down first... if we don't accidentally kill ourselves before then, Krav Maga is definitely on the list. 🙂

Thanks from the bottom of my stomach, rather than my heart, considering the mental anguish you all endured while reading this... 🙂
😂😂

Question for the pros out in San Diego.

Does anyone happen to know where I can find some acrobatics around town? I'm looking for high-level freestyle stuff—to get straight to the point, here’s a link to what I mean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bhVWdiSpc0

If anyone has leads, I'd really appreciate it. It's more like intense gymnastics, but you know... if you catch my drift... 🙂 Looking for something for adults, not kids' classes. Something for ages 20 and up (I'm 22 myself).

Thanks so much!

I feel happy when I can just be myself... but I feel lost knowing that maybe "misfortune" isn't even a real thing🙂
