Hello all,
I know I haven't posted to much but I have read a lot of interesting things on this website and enjoy it very much. I just wanted to rant becuase of someone I know that also studies Martial Arts really bugs me. I study Chinese Kempo and he studies a Fillipino art. Now we practice together sometimes but he gets really annoying because he starts knockin Kempo. Saying things to the effect that Chinese Kempo isn't an as effective art. I just try and tell him that he's not studying it and wouldn't know. I'm no where near the point of demonstrating what Chinese Kempo is about but I'm not bad either. He also finds it hilarious that I'm a yellow belt after only a month (but I have been studying for about 2 months). While he's still a white belt in his art and has been for about six months. I told him it's just differences in the Arts and the schools but he still acts like Chinese Kempo is a totally weak art. Well anyway I hope that one day he will just recognize that we are both Martial Artist and that it's not about the belts (though I do understand they are goals to achieve) or about who's art is better. It's just about doing it for yourself. Thanks for reading I'm finished ranting. Later. :asian:
