The Path of Mastery

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.

Ah, I see - the secret "throw-something-that-comes-from-inside-of-your-nose-to gross-out-your-opponent"-move!!! Damn, he sure know some special techniques! ;D

"The focussed mind sees no obstacles"?

Poor cerebus isn't properly attuned to the higher level of thinking. I'll try to explain it: if you see no obstacles, there are no obstacles. quid ergo sum, grasshopper. ;D

Ha! Ha! ;D Unfortunately, however, the "quid ergo sum" perspective oftentimes ends up wishing "di vatesve eorum in futurum vident" in retrospect. :'(

That clip was really the best one of them all!

Where he got it from.



Must note that these UMA guys are a group of OYD breakaways. Nothing wrong with getting away from an abusive organization, but then again, from what I've heard, the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.

I'd really like to visit this dude next time I go to Austin. Maybe I can join the course on "High-minded platitude threads the jade shuttle at sea bottom?"
