Thanks for that link Lisa, the video definitely explained how violence is a tool of survival in asocial situations, and can be looked at as seperate from social stigmas.
Peter I watched only the first video so far, and it was awesome. At the beginning I can see how it looked mysterious, but if people watch it the whole way through, it's obvious, especially when they talk about how people should strive for excellence and show their symbol of fruitfullness, that it isn't a cultish thing at all. Like the video Lisa showed me, competition is somewhat removed by the temple way of training, which is awesome. Are you training at the temple now? I'll definitely watch the other videos tonight or tomorrow.
I notice their strikes look very effective. Do you think they would be effective against a 300 pound boxer? I'd like your opinion on that. Also, you said that the ground is the last place you want to end up. Do you feel that the chances of ending up on the ground as a martial artist are very slim? Thanks for your advice. I really appreciate it.
