God forbid they have to conform to your arbitrary standards.

They make money doing what they do. Why is that not good enough for you?

I’m saying this as a white guy raised in the rural south.

The difference is there are a lot of white people who are racist and have no compassion for anyone who isn’t white, so they don’t give a shit if something unfair happens to someone who isn’t white.

Take Cliven Bundy. He spent 20 years building up a multi million…

I would pretty much cast Mick Cage as anyone. Anyone. I would cast him as Mamie Eisenhower.

That said would it just be terrible to cast Willem Dafoe again?

Don’t we all want to see Superman meet Iron Man?

:)

Another person said what you did, so I’ll give you the same reply.

The problem in general is sometimes this gets distilled down to How People Actually Fought With Swords.

I realize you might have been doing this as a kid, and therefore you were jumpkicking a kid in the spine. Normally kicking a kid in the spine is something I would frown on but in this case, I’ll say the little shit had it coming.

I did point sparring with these big, goofy over padded gloves. Kids would slip the glove…

Obviously taking it too far in any direction is dangerous. A middle ground is needed I like the idea of shock knives and markers like you mentioned.

Makes sense. I usually just think it’s a perception versus reality thing.

Grappling is a hard sell anyway. Rolling around in pajamas isn’t as glamorous as kicking a ninja with a spinning back kick.

I have to agree with you on pretty much all points. Krav is one of those things that is wildly inconsistent. I have seen the guys who spar. I usually focus my criticism on the guys that do the unrealistic compliant stuff.

I hate to ditto again, but I haven’t done martial arts for self defense for a long time. The first…

Yeah it is. The problem is eventually that gets distilled down to How People Actually Fought With Swords.

I admitted it was mostly a nitpick.

I haven’t watched the whole video yet, but I am taking it that they spar like Karate point fighters, so certain contact end the fight.

As an MMA guy, I see the point of pint sparring in this case to a certain extent. Yes by all means let them go at with no restricting sometimes, but there is one good reason to let…

Capoeira is beautiful to watch. It’s even more beautiful when someone pulls of something against a resisting opponent, but that doesn’t happen a lot.

I find Krav Maga painful to watch. A lot of the demos they put on are just techniques borrowed from other and applied with little understanding of how the technique…

MMA has brought attention to the fact that a fight between two martial artists fighting does not look like a Shaw Brothers film definitively, but the funny thing is how long it took for the general public to catch on.

Most of the techniques in BJJ originate in Judo, as you are most likely aware, and that’s been around…

I know I’m being a little nit picky, and I’m not trying to bash the guys making the effort to try to reconstruct this stuff.

It’s really awesome, but when we say this is how people actually fought, there should be a disclaimer that says “This is how we think people fought, based on historical research and experiments…

More than one. The manic, impulsive crazy girl was pretty much my thing for a long time. Still is, really.

I tried to pretend I want the stable person you make a life with, but there’s always been something that drive me towards women with switchblades a tendency towards outbursts and pyromania.

In the short term it’s…

Since you will know what I’m talking about...

I had a pre-teen crush on Melodia. Annoying voice and all. That’s pretty fucked up, right?

The thing about a G.I. Joe/Transformers crossover is it would be hard to distinguish it from what Michael Bay has already done. Bay had such a hardon for the military that he needed to pair off the Tranformers with special forces guys every time he had a chance. The only thing that would make it noticeably different…

That is one of the best intros OF ALL TIME. OF ALL TIME.

However even as a kid the portrayal of gravity and space bugged the shit out of me. Despite being set firmly on earth, GI Joe did space better, and GI Joe had an improvised spacesuit consisting of trash bags and a fish bowl. They used soda cans to propel the…

I train BJJ and I don’t believe it’s a slap in the face to anything. Helio Gracie had sexist ideas, but just because I train BJJ does not mean I have to follow every single thing he believed.

MMA fighters and Boxers wear gloves to protect the hands. Watch the early UFC when there were no gloves. Striking was much different then.
