Nah, I think I can see your point. So any disagreements between us is basically only a matter of opinion, nothing else, I don't think we need to continue on that anymore. It's just that in the times when you're not the warrior in the field, you're human just like us. The rules of politeness still applies, and assuming you're better than anyone without any basis is ... well... usually not a good thing.

With that said, I think we should get back on topic. Bruce Lee.

I think his philosophy (Jeet Kune Do) is pretty spot-on. But he was a fairly cocky person himself - if you believe the stories told by people who have interacted with him. I am a strong believer of being humble, strong and fair.

Tenchu, just to make it clear... can you make yourself angry just like hat? I know I could psyche myself up in no time, but in a tournament fight, it's like, you shake hands before and after the fight (if able), and I can't fathom myself being angry at this person who hasn't done anything to me before. I could see myself, owever, feeling a determination to overcome the opponent.

As for the adaptation, I was smply asking because I wasn't sure. Glad to see you haven't narrowed yourself down to just Muay Thai. Not that I'm discrediting the sport, it's THE best sport to practice if you want to fight like the warriors did in the old das when they were unarmed. I personally wanted to start Muay Thai and went to a few training sessions but the trainer couldn't communicate (or even speak the language), and it all felt rather... lame. Plus my body physique wouldn't allow me to practice Muay Thai (I'm far too skinny, believe me).

Ah, I almost got an urge to start practicing a martial art again... it feels to good to knock some wood (and people). I just need to put on some weight.
