It aint all that bona fide

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.

ambergirl,

Yeah, pretty much. That's why I kinda hinted at that with my extra jibe at CK.

I quite like the fact that this forum is concerned mainly with using the IMA as viable self defence systems, not as some intellectual abstraction. That's quite rare in my humble opinion.

I know you guys posted the picture of yam as a "he who shall not be named" thing, but I still don't know what it is. Help a brother out ;D

No. Seriously go to page 2 of BTDT and you can see the Yam doing push hands and much more.

I've seen it. I was alluding more the cartoon thing you posted. The human Yam is a guy who I have absolutely no opinion about. He's a guy and he writes stuff and is controversial, exactly the opposite of my current mojo :D

Ah that. Ok. That appears to be a comic book: http://www.topshelfcomix.com/catalog/yam/603

Your German isn't all that bona fide. :D

When you just say 'thanks' it's 'danke'. But when it's a substantive it's 'Dank', without the e and with a capital letter. There is no plural form of this. It's like the word 'gratitude'. You can feel a lot of gratitude, not a lot of gratitudes.

Ooh! Ooh! Maybe my 6 years of "studying" German weren't a waste after all... hold on... it's coming...

"Vielen Dank"... Right?

(I almost wrote "Muchos Dank," but that can't be right ;D )
