History sucks!

The following typical threads that plague martial arts sites will get moved here if not just deleted: 1 - My style is better than Your style" - 2 - "Internal & External" - 3 - Personal attacks - 4 - Threads that start well, but degenerate into a spiral of nonsense.

History sucks!

Postby spring on Tue Aug 12, 2008 1:27 pm

Reading threads with so many arguing over who created Taiji, Bagua, Aikido....

We will never know. History is a chocolate cake laced with make believe.

What we have, all they EVER HAD, (if they even existed :D ) was that day, that hour, that punch and sidestep, with someone who could shock them enough that they came back for second helpings each time.

WE are history in the making. We are the bringers of next centurys chocolate cake.

So, if you make history what is your contribution? Are you doing something to advance the arts? Adapt them to new conditions?
Are you walking your own way?

Me too sometimes. It's like I can't concentrate on what I am doing, I feel that I "lose" it. So I give my brain a break and allow it to work in the background. At least that's what it should be because sometimes I linger here more than I should.

That's because everyone knows Steven Segal created aikido after being dismissed as Chuck Norris' head disciple after one lesson for being Katey Seagall's brother and not being related to Johnathon Livingston Seagull (who he did prevent from taking flight from his palm using the technique of suddenly appearing and suddenly dissappearing).
