OT: I Dare You

[Raging Deadstar]

My friend Martin is Blackbelt in Karate, although I wouldn't class him as a ninja, He won't dare take me on in a fight...

Last time he did was several years ago, he mocked me with fancy kung-fu so when he was doing so he got a kick between the legs. The Perils of Youth....

It was on Par with The Indiana Jones Moment

There's two types of martial arts schools; sports schools, which is most of them, and combat schools. As I understand it, you know you're in a combat school when people joke about broken limbs that the've actually had.

[Starhawk]

LOL I'm in the second kind, borken limbs have occured before, so have spear wounds, sword wounds and LOTS of black eyes and bruises (I've mainly had Sword bruises and black eyes)

Karate= Americanized Style of Japanese Martial Arts

Kung Fu= Ancient Chinese style that has been relatively unaltered for thousands of years (in the school I'm in anyway)

Kung Fu Actually Spawned Karate because the Japanese kind of "borrowed it" lol.

Just some history there hehe


Oh I've fought a "ninja" but he was pathetic so it doesn't really fit in the dare lol

[kerensky]

Hmm ninja fighting...

I'm not sure this guy was a ninja, he was trained in the type of sword fighting you use bamboo swords for (star knows what this is). Well anyway, let's just say it hurt.

Probably kendo (my ex-roommate's learning it).
