Hehe, and you think THAT's a lot? You should hear my Teacher...Class is 2 hours long; about half of that time (or even more) he's explaining/correcting/telling us about situations he was in where he had to use his Kung Fu. :lol: Ya know that'd be amazing to see someone use Parkour skills to avoid being beaten to a pulp by someone...OK best Self defense right there! :D And hey you're like me...I carry a pocket knife around with me all the time...Just in case I need to cut someone... :ph34r: You'll never know when a situation will present itself...It could be in the oddest of places. I can tell you a number of times my Teacher was in an ORDINARY place and 1+ guys tried jumping him. Btw sorry I didn't answer you in the EN2 lobby yk88; I was actually AFK. Packing up some more boxes.

Martial Arts don't suit everyone I suppose...But it'll be good to learn SOMETHING to defend yourself; be it the Knife; a Stick; a Gun; even the environment around you. Well, I practice Ving Tsun (or Wing Chun; same art, just different way of saying it) myself, but I'd really like to get into the REAL Jeet Kune Do; the art Bruce Lee had devised, which isn't really a NEW art so to speak; but it's based off of Ving Tsun but has techniques (useful/practical) of many other arts put into it. Many would say that JKD is like the MMA of today but really now, MMA is nothing but the real potential of several martial arts watered down and limited with rules to be a "sport". In other words; bull. If you've practiced other forms of Martial Arts before you came to Ving Tsun, that's actually pretty good...As you continue your training you'll understand how much more effective Ving Tsun is against some of those things you USED to practice. I see it a lot in the classes we have too... Anyhow, I've been practicing Ving Tsun for about...9 years now, and I'm only on what's known to be 2nd Form. I dipped into 3rd Form just a tad, and backed off of it so that I can rehash my 1st and 2nd Forms; which all branch back and forth to each other. Really there is no "course" for the system, (Well, depending on who you're learning it from; that may be different, but traditionally there is no end) you just keep improving and evolving as you continue to practice. And personally, I think it's the best thing you can learn out there as far as hand-to-hand...It takes you away from the common practice of technique which is "robotic" in a sense (look at Karate and Tae Kwon Do for example; properly understood and practiced Ving Tsun breaks all of that stuff down because you don't work off of "If the guy does this, then you do such and such..."). Ving Tsun gives you principles and theories along with a few hands and the use of your feet that if you can apply those principles/theories in a fight, you should come out unscathed. Some tips: DO NOT look to Youtube for the answers to this art. MOST guys on YT that "teach" this stuff BARELY know what the heck they're even doing. Whenever you get some spare change, go shopping around in a Martial Arts supply store (if you can find one), or online (EverythingWingChun.com is a good one) for your wall bags, and some of the other apparatuses that'll help condition you. Don't ever spar with anyone outside of your class. It won't do anything for you except stiffen you up; which you REALLY don't want. Ving Tsun is a RELAXED art. You rely on your inner strength as opposed to your external muscle. Always keep your mind on what you're doing when you practice. It'll come to you quicker and more efficiently. Your 1st Form should last you a full HOUR. It's going to take some time to get to that point, but you have to get there. Especially the 2nd part of the 1st Form. Go slow; it'll give you time to think about what you're doing; making sure your Horse Stance is proper; hands are being led by the energy of your elbow; you're relaxed; etc... OK I'm sorry, I had to go all in on this one... :lol:

Ugh, here we go with this thing again...I haven't seen it in action, but I HOPE it's not a piece of crap. I'll send myself back on vacation if I have to.

I'm very engaged in Martial Arts; so I like to keep myself in shape. Especially my mid-section. Like Bruce Lee used to say: 'If you are not physically fit, you have no business doing any hard sparring.' And a bowflex is a exercise apparatus...I actually had this particular model. Worked pretty nicely.
-
Lol funny question... But if I may answer in a 'serious' fashion... In my free time I'm usually training with the little bit of equipment I have; (I just figured out my Dad gave my Bowflex away to one of his friends while I was away...Haven't used it for a minute, but I had plans for it...) reading; drawing; in an antique store looking for stuff to re-sell; I guess I could throw playing video games in there as well...That's just some stuff.

^ Yep...I currently have Steam on my crappy- I mean, my computer. -
Well eh...We were fine while I was up there...Then when I left she was kinda...Bleh. Then I get a call yesterday that she wanted to separate so I was like, "Ok, no problem.." It happens I guess. She was my first and probably last. I prefer to stay off to myself. And really I left to just get away from here...I needed a break, find something else to do... And the whole moving situation was just crazy...My step-mom has a number of breakdowns too because we were being pressured by our management company that we needed to move (The original owners of this house we're in are trying to sell it while the property value is still high, so yah). And thanks :)

The name of the company who made that controller is on the tip of my tongue...Can't think of it right now. Umm...Afraid not, but I'll go look at some gameplay of it. :) I've returned from my 'break' I suppose you could say...I probably should've assigned someone to bump this thread every now and then. -
I didn't make a thread because I really refuse to post a Tanki Biography. Let alone getting blackmailed and the "See you tomorrow" messages. I was rather serious when I said I was leaving and as you see...It's been...Almost a month. 2 days short. Oh yeah, I'm back btw. I was up in New York with my 'newly announced' ex for about 2 and a half weeks (I suppose she couldn't take the fact that we lived so far apart now, but eh). And now...I'm in the midst of moving too; I'll be moving into the new house this weekend after a ridiculous 2-month search, losing houses due to strange owners and whatnot...All that good stuff. In Otherworld, I see everything has been kosher here. Which is good. How is everyone?

LOL I'd buy a PC... but not a Wii U. Nintendo's still stuck in Lala land with the kids. Wii U ain't making much money because they're not producing what people actually WANT. Let alone that; they don't even get partnered with some of the other "Big" game developers because they're resisting to change. -
Whooo I remember those days, Hazel. This game is so full of corrupt in-game criminals nowadays it makes me sick. From Chat Mod Admins and down the list. And then I get called "Captain America" and told to stop spreading "rumors" for telling the truth about these corrupt people. LOL!!!

'GodMode_ON' question of the day?
-
I always say Titan is better in terms of Maneuverability, Speed, and Power; which is true. Doesn't mean that Mammoth is entirely useless though. Both are great Heavy Tanks and I've learned to respect them. Titan especially.
-
Okie. Last day here guys.
-
Yeah. Add a Titan to the equation = Leave the game.

[Forum Game] would you take above player's nickname

No. -
And that's the attitude of most XP/BP players. Which is why if I see one on the battlefield; prioritized target just to make him quit and give space for a worthy opponent. Don't have time for a scared, weak, camping tank that can't take but 1-2 shots.
-
Lel, what does my Rank tell you? Just because I don't like XP/BP because I know what it is and say that it sucks? You can get butthurt all day long about it.
-
Lel, so glad this is my last weekend. GG Tanki on more BS updates that don't need to be added right now!
-
Ehh... thought all (if not most) mods were over 18. If you're seeing a Mod not abiding by the rules they so strongly uphold; report it to their Admins.
