Tim once again provides an intelligent and thoughtful post and once again it is followed by drivel. This site is still occasionaly entertaining and enlightening but it is definitely not what it once was in terms of INTELLIGENT discussion.

Tim's more patient than I would be if I was paying a server to host this discussion board.

registration was a start, what happened to that? We still have the pleasure of the Jack Attack.

I don't know Meynard, but i don't think that I'd call him a 'whiner'.

Tim, Tim, Tim,

Sorry I missed this one. Hope you keep your feet clean and the sheit scraped off your shoes as it’s getting thick around here.

“Here we go again. Backarcher, Jason, you'll never convince people like Jack that resistant training and competition are the way to go for real world ability.”

Real world ability? Sports comp is real world? More reality shows for Tim please. Are you buckin for a shot on Survivor? Real world about as much as your Martial arts studio is real world.

“Jack has his entire personality vested in the idea his kungfu makes him a deadly outlaw. Having to actually spar with contact against another trained fighter takes all the romance out of the deadly outlaw fantasy. And no one wants to feel like a chump.”

Actually spar? Wow sounds deadly, King Tim goes to Deadhead Tim. A Grateful Dead fan with his “entire personality” vested in being a martial arts teacher. Sounds like a great theme for a WB presentation. Wow, aren’t we special. Open your mouth; remove foot, replace foot with other foot, close mouth. Told ya you had a habit of doin that.

How about the “I wish I was born a poor brown Brazilian kid” fantasy? Guess you still got something to prove – on the mat that is. Some of Jimmy’s guys just didn’t get it – not naming any names now. Some just lack the confidence to go out and use what they know in the real world to affect change. Ditto. Can’t figure out what is significant and what is insignificant, (hint): sports. Double ditto, no names.

“About the John Marsh vs. Sansoo fighter match. The Sansoo guy in the clip deserves more respect than all the rest of the "too deadly to spar/compete" guys a thousand times over.”

A whole 1000 times, gee willeys Beav, is that really Eddies’s mom, or is it Alice Cooper. What size was your yard with that white picket fence around it?

“While all the other deadly fighters, from a hundred different styles, fueled by their fear of inadequacy were frantically talking •••• about how MMA fighters were just athletic competitors, and couldn't fight "for real," the Sansoo guy in the clip stepped up to the plate against a much larger, professional MMA fighter.”

A hundred different styles? Tim, leave the drama to the Jackster you suck at it and you have no idea what is real; except maybe a scuffle at Jack in the Box or its equivalent. Do you also train in weapons? The metal kind?

”There were no limits on legal techniques in the match, so all "deadly" techniques were allowed. The result was clear. I'm certain the Sansoo fighter would have destroyed an untrained loudmouth in a bar, but well conditioned, trained (as in full contact sparring) MMA athletes are a different story.”

You are certain. Certainty doesn’t exist oh condescending one (you did wake to a pea under your mattress I’m sure). No limits? That meant it was straight, un-homogenized. If it were real, there would be a lot more variables than two guys announcing they were going to fight each other and meeting at a set time. Sounds kinda well… brokeback. What did they do after they fought? Patted ass kissed and made up. Or did they do the unprotected wild thang. Yeah that’s real world alright.

Yeah there is just a load of trained fighters out in bars and all over the place. It must make the ratio of the real people in the outside-the-studio real world to trained MMA guys in tight little uniforms about, lets see maybe 900, 000,000 to 1.

That lame little clip was about as unreal as it gets.

a Quire admire thinks this was an intelligent post?

Regurgitate.

Tim, you just dropped in character points. What you had a bad match?

“A student can learn to sucker strike an unsuspecting victim after a couple of weeks of training. Then what. How about training to fight people that will actually fight back.”

If you are goin after game, sucker punchin is as effective a weapon as any. If you are sportin and only have sported, then you simply won’t get it, until you get it. Then its too late cause you already got it. Get it?

Here we go again, bruised ego time. Sorry Tim, until you can apply what you know outside the ring your training is limited to the “real world” of the mat.

If this was a shot at havin a personality you get a pass.

If not, practice up on your duck and cover. The real world doesn’t announce where and when. Life is what happens to you while your are busy training. There is no owners manual and few homogenized moment except maybe romper room time and the safety of the mat, cage or ring.

Fans, guys like Tim who Won’t use there training for anything other than sports are limited by the very thing they study – sports. All dressed up and nowhere to go… Cinderella man. Maybe the Fairy godfather will appear with a one way ticket to Rio and and some fairy dust and when you arrive you can see if the glass jock strap fits!

Maybe you should require poster to register for the Quire draft. Drafted into the Quire. I thought Nixon abolished that?

Turn off the television .. Move away from the tube. I repeat, put down the deadly clicker and move away from the tube!

Hey Jack
Glad to see you posting again. I was afraid you would get sick of the BS
Thanks for all the wisdom, wit, and views that you have shared with us.

I think we may have wore on Tim a bit, I have been blocked from the site, so I'm using another PC.

That's ok, I only came here to read what you, Old Timer, and Xing had to write. What did you think of Xing's posts?

I don't think the quire will ever understand your views on sport "fighting".
I sure do.
Sounds like you are having fun with Russian girls, never had one, but they sure are pretty.

Jack,

You are a true sidewinder.

Systematically dismantling the hosts posts are less than endearing to the audience. Are you not being prey to his leadings?

I have backed yu on a nuber of occasions. However a little discression would be nice.

As your frequent detractors have done, now so do you, that is attack the actor vesus attacking the action.

Are you not lowering yourself to thier level?

All of us cannot be Jack's, nor should we be. Give them a lead but don't shove it down their throats.

That last post was a 10 on the smart ass scale and a 5 on the content scale. How about turning those number around next time, even if you are bored.

Old Timer

Hi Jack,
This is the polite one -

Your disrespectful tone, would it make your Sifu proud? Or, are you just going to state that it's a vehicle to help enlighten us? Because we, the unknowing quire simply are too ignorant to follow the valuable lessons you help share and need to wake up?

Always an excuse. Simply incredible.

- Nemo dat quod non habit... - hehehehe

You become very much like chopping wood and carrying water...


   By Tim on Monday, February 20, 2006 - 02:47 am: Edit Post

Hey Jack,

You have no idea what I (or anyone else who posts here) may or may not do in the real world to affect change.

Sorry I hurt your feelings.

It's plain you think you know everything, but you might have a few less buttons to push if you occasionally took some good advice. Like Old Timer's for instance.

Keep it real buddy.

ps. How much does $20,000 worth of jewelry weigh?

Easy now Tim.

It was Jack that made you use the dots (as some body said).

The venom shows through. Now you are being led.

venom?

I hear one composed tone of voice.
