What MA cliches wind you up?

[Touch Of Death]

Why is now a nationalist thing? Do you assume that women elsewhere in the world women don't bite back when treated like this? I'm not sure what sports based martial arts have to do with anything either.

I could point out that you brought it up, but what good would it do me? Women, in the US, don't join the martial arts for show. Never have, never will. Martial Arts teachers would never think to say that to them.

It sounds very British. American men are all about Forms and Kata

I didn't bring up anything about nationality, you did, as you are again. I can't see what the 'for show' has to do with it either.

Americans are less stoic. It is just one of those realties.

You were calling me on so many things at once, you missed what I was referring to, sport Ma.

That's not a very nice thing to say about Americans. I can't see what it has to do with anything either.

You need to explain yourself properly. And stop insulting your fellow countrymen and women.

Americans Complain, TEZ3. Perhaps you haven't heard.

No I haven't, they may 'complain' if they receive bad service etc but then so does everyone, everywhere as they should. Americans don't whinge about things, they are no less stoical in the face of adversity than anyone else! Americans have gone through bad times and not collapsed complaining.

No, we rally, because we are pissed. It is all part of our lack of stoicism. We show anger, we laugh, we cry, and we fight back, but you can never accuse us of being a bunch of stoics.

You're drunk? ie pissed.

Really, I think I can honestly say you are the most baffling poster I have ever come across.

Folks. One more time I'm going to say this. This thread is about cliches. If you'd like to discuss the definitions of stoic, or slang terms like pissed, please start another thread.


Sent from an old fashioned 300 baud acoustic modem by whistling into the handset. Really.

Could you provide a list of clichés we are not allowed to debate. I get lost.

speaking of complaining though. There may be evidence to disprove your theory.

And Australian women are of course the best.

A lot of them aren't as much clichés as used by martial artists but clichés used by non martial artists and wannabes trying to impress, which is why some of them are so wrong.
