What What?
Did you have an actual question or you just picking another fight with negative posts?
Ok Jude, I will presume to understand your question.
Why did I make the comment that I like the episode?
Of course I do not like the hosts, but as Ihave stated that in other threads I did not repeat myself as I thought my opinion was known.
Since, I know some people who practice the art, it could a couple of things.
First, I am just being PC and saying I like it and move on.
Second, I could be secretly enthrlled by wanting to be a ninja and therefore say all ninja stuff is cool. As this is really not me, I will have to say no to this.
Third, I could dislike the art compeltely, and want to just point out something that was positive as opposed to be a negative type person.
Fourth, I did like the episode. I guess I am stupid. I disagree with you yet again. Wow surprising. I liked the idea of using a weapon to distract for another weapon. I could not care about the rank of those involved. The comment I made was about how the hosts looks awkward, and the practitioner of the art made it look smooth.
I also liked the "REAL" blade training. Even at quarter speed. The number of people who freak out when a real blade is even shown them, let alone handed to them so you can show where the cuts will be on your body during certain technqiues. All done in a controlled fashion, and even with tape on the blade. Most people refuse to train this way, or even look at it. The other end is the other side wear people go full force with no real skill yet and just try to stab and cut people. and this is how injuries occur.
I liked how they talked about some history and how they would infiltrate as farmers and other commoners to get into a place to spy. I liked the way they also had different people handle different weapons and skills. I thought this gave people a way to see different people in the art. I thought it also gave people a way to see different weapons and how their are pieces of this art that total up to the sum.
Finally, I know very little about this art, and wish to not get into an arguement with those here who are much more knowledgable then I am. So I make a simple statement and move on. I had no idea that someone who had attacked me in another thread would continue to attack me in this thread.
Of course if you speaking of my slaughtering of the arts name, then I apologize first for the hack job on the name. Then I apologize for once again not truly understanding your oblique comment of "WHAT?" when my only experience with you is with you attacking me, and not being able to talk abotu the issues. Oh let us not forget that before the rep reset you had someone also give me negative rep for disagreeing with you. Bring this all together, and you get my response of confusion and not understanding why you are so negative and insulting. But, as I do not have time to understand your issues, I have my own, I will just add you to my ignore list.
In conclusion, it could be part of one, and three, and a lot of four and just a touch of five.
Of course, I'm sure there're some schools that are more hard core than others, and I'm not referring to MMA necessarily. Personally, I get upset when I'm training and the other person is going half way with me. I mean, thats the reason I train..to defend myself. Nothing irks me more, when someone stops a punch 4 in. away for gives me a massage, rather than an actual choke. Fortunately for me, I have some great teachers who keep it real for me.
