I am learning a new style of Martial Arts now. It is called the Bagua style. It emphasises on the circular flow of body, and is very useful if encountering a large number of opponents.

Yes, I am talking about Baguazhang, which is commonly known as Bagua. As for opponents, you'd be surprised how many people have I had confrontations with in past.

We have different idea Alex Bond. I believe in reformation, whereas, you believe in ultimate violence for the sake of violence. I see you walk the path of positivegin, I am however, a seeker to the path of neutrogin.

Not quite Alex Bond. Fighting and violence is based on some rules called the jings. Technically there are 85 of them, but there are 3 of them which are the most important. Anyway, we are getting off the topic now.

It seems you are certainly mistaken, or you don't have sufficient knowlege on the matter. I think we should get back on topic.

You must be very desperate to say that. I do not wish to be rude, but your statement about the talents is clearly... pathetic.

I would like to comment on this, but we could move this conversation to Politics and Philosophy to make it more on topic.

Anyway, I too am going to take on a new form of Martial Arts. Liu Seong Kuntao. I've studied it's history and it's ways, and I'm going to pursue it now. For those who know a lot about the branches of Martial Arts, it's a style of Kuntao Silat.

EDIT:// I added my comment in the Politics and Philosophy section, so if you two wish to continue this debate, you should do so there.

Yeah, I've been taking multiple classes over the years, and I've decided to try and strengthen my skill in that area, so I'm learning this new style.

Yeah, I'm a little confused by that too tiger.

AB: Do you practice any forms of martial arts? I know you've probably answered this question before, but my memory isn't something I'm proud of.  tongue

Tmayd: touch me and you're dead.
i follow by the simple rule "don't hurt me, because i have lots of really giant friends who don't mind beating the crap out of random people"

so um, yea. i did martial arts for a year. just the basic karate...and i failed white belt. who knew you could actually fail the first year? oh well. maybe some day i'll go back and do it again with a judge that isn't really stupid. I did really good on the test too, but the stupid little man wasn't even watching anyone do their thing, and he just marked some people right and some people wrong. almost half the people failed the white belt...and we were all third graders. i think he was expecting us to be really amazing or something. well, pft to him.
