Laura Lewis5 said:Silva put on some serious weight right before the Grand Prix, and then Mike slimmed down, which ended up slowing down an already fast Silva... and honestly, it worked out perfectly for Mike.
I don't know, that just feels a little weird and suspicious to me!
Justin Adams5 said:Bas Rutten is just awesome—I’ve actually got quite a few of his things, and honestly, every single one of them is useful.
As for Wing Chun, I guess I just don't get how some grandmaster can ignore anti-grappling or whatever else if that's supposed to be part of being a true expert in the art.
Justin Adams5 said:Sorry, old friend, but you're way off base here. I don't really get it. You come looking for advice from people who actually know their stuff, but then you act like you've already got it all figured out. You say you're impressed by Chinese martial arts, but honestly, it seems like you don't know the first thing about them at all.👎

Terry Rodriguez41 said:Man, looks like he finally had that lightbulb moment in his head... if he actually sticks to this new approach, he might just be able to knock Fedor off the throne...
Jonathan Johnson67 said:So, how can you actually learn some decent Wing Chun then?
Foot Locker said:Are you sure about that? I don't think I've ever heard of 😕 Steve will know
When it comes to technique, though, that finger-to-the-throat move can actually hurt quite a bit if someone has really strong fingers
The rest of it just doesn't seem all that effective to me, I guess

Look, since I know how rock-solid those Scherkels' fingers are, and I definitely know where those strikes land, I don't find this nearly as funny as everyone else does.
I mean, first off, it’s like when you bang your elbow on a desk and get that weird electric shock running straight down to your pinky—it's just biology. Second, there's just hitting someone in the groin—that’s not some high-level skill, it’s just... well, it's hitting them in the groin. And third, just punching someone in the nose or the cheekbone area. There’s really no mystery there, honestly.
He’ll probably be the first one to tell you there are way more efficient ways to do things... but since the whole point of the article was Kyusho Jutsu, he demonstrated that.
Wait, isn't that George and Zack in the photos? Which year was that issue from again?
Olivia Martinez20 said:On this other forum, someone was posting about how—for them, at least—the core feelings that drive people to cheer for their national team are basically the exact same things that fuel war. Like, perceiving yourself as part of an "us" based on national identity automatically creates an "them." And those are the "enemies." Building an identity around a nation and collectivism is such a powerful force behind warfare.
Do you guys agree with that? The winners and losers, the conflict, the strategy, the morale-boosting songs, the grouping up, massive groups clashing on a field, waving flags, wearing national symbols on your body or everywhere around you, collectivism... honestly, all of these are characteristics found in both war and the Communist Party.
How many common ground points actually exist between war and the Communist Party? And is the Communist Party just a convenient platform for letting nationalism run wild? It’s definitely more socially acceptable than actual war since there's less sacrifice involved—though, well, don't get me wrong, there's still plenty of pain (just look at Mostar).
I thought about putting this under Politics, but I have a feeling we might get a much better discussion going on here.
