wow, i never knew indian arts were so in depth. I have seen the sword and tiny shield before but i never knew they had H2H as well.

hehe check out video 15, it starts pff like a bitch slapping fight.

seanyseanybean · 11-24-2005, 04:38 AM

unless the couch potato has an aisle seat and is dead asleep, blocking the dude. If you've ever sat in a window seat next to a morbidly obese person and tried to GET OUT....you'd know that it's damn near impossible unless they move first, which takes awhile anyway.

**Garland** · 11-24-2005, 04:03 PM

by the way...what part of India is that from? Looks alot like FMA, not as dynamic as kalarippayat.

These arts are all through india, they're the arts of the fakir. Very similar to silat.

[QUOTE=Mike Brewer]It's my own humble opinion that Americans have become such sensationalists that they cannot see that losing 2,000 soldiers out of the 300,000 that have rotated into the war zone is, statistically, a completely acceptable loss. Nearly 20 times that many people die each year in car crashes. Nearly 100 times that many die of tobbacco related illness.

Completely acceptable loss
I'm so pissed by this I can barely formulate a thought to respond to this. I don't think theres such a thing as an acceptable loss, when it comes to the soldiers fighting beside me dying. There's nothing acceptable about it.

My family is trying to figure out this one too. I already lost one cousin and another got activated (his wife left him when it happened).

"Gatka has been used over the centuries to great effect. Besides the numerous conflicts and wars in the Sikh homeland of Punjab, or the famous Sikh regiments of World War II, Sikhs armed with lathi were employed as riot police in the rough-and-tumble streets of 1930's Shanghai. The British police instructor, William Ewart Fairbairn, a pioneer in close-quarters battle and riot police tactics, found the Sikhs to be very effective at quelling disturbances due to their gatka-derived skills."
