Tai Chi,good self-defense art or not?

[jubaji]

I have to know...

You can't tell me if you look at a video from the 50's of people fighting say I don't know boxing, or even doing something as mudane as dancing, they move the same as people today. The world didn't even look the same 100 years ago. It is built diffrent people have to move diffrent to function in it.

*oh, brother*

Does that really seem like a rational point of view to you?

Do you really feel Tai Chi sucks as an SD form?

You said you read the forum before posting. Where have you ever seen me say that? Have you even read all of this thread?

You make it sound as if we are debating something serious and you are being abused for an opposing, but reasonable, view. You are claiming that human beings as little as a few hundred years ago are an alien species that we cannot comprehend and (I like this one!) that the Chinese do not exaggerrate in their history. Do not expect to be taken seriously when you vomit up nonsense like this.

I thought we were debating something serious? Tai Chi as self defense. If SD isn't serious to you why are you here...to poke people, if so then by all means poke away and I'll ignore you.

Thank you for clairifying what "you thought' I said. i didn't say people from a few hundreds years ago were alien. i said they moved diffrent. You can't tell me if you look at a video from the 50's of people fighting say I don't know boxing, or even doing something as mudane as dancing, they move the same as people today.

The world didn't even look the same 100 years ago. It is built diffrent people have to move diffrent to function in it. As for the vomiting up nonsense thats your opinion thanks for sharing it.

I don't need my "therois validated" by anyone on an internet forum thanks. I have real life expierences to rate my ability and art on just like everyone else.

I want a discussion like your last post. It picked me apart but it was awsome and not just a smartass remark.

Jubaji i read this forum awhile befroe I posted and you seem highly intelligent. I'd love to have conversations with you. your input is actually very valuable when you want it to be. Thats all i was trying to get from you was why you thought what i said was crap.

Geez sorry for trying to talk about something besides rolling on the ground with a sweaty guy or MMA crap.:

Has there been a lot of such talk on this thread? Maybe I missed it.

I would just like to have a discussion between people who want to talk about the same thing:

No, you want to have your stupid-ass 'theories' validated. Get used to disappointment on that score, champ.

It's good to know i have a critic picking apart every single one of my posts and analogies.:

Don't write stupid things and you won't have anything to bitch about.

I am sorry you don't agree with me but unless you want to back up you smartass comments with something a little more substanial

LOL

It's good to know i have a critic picking apart every single one of my posts and analogies. It's good to know where I go wrong in explaining things to people who know everything about everything but still seem to know nothing at all.

I am sorry you don't agree with me but unless you want to back up you smartass comments with something a little more substanial than your own personal insults at my intelligence, and maybe something intelligent yourself, maybe one of those elligant posts Treelizard loves so much that's still the exact same thing as your trade mark

......

I'm not here to ARGUE or FIGHT with anyone. i just want a discussion, so if all you're gonna do is pick at me I can always add you to my ignore list. I am sure you couldn't care less, good thing we're on the same page.
