As previously stated I allready did do the "reaserch". I also took akendo first hand from a japanese sensei with an emphasis in jujistu/akido (the style known for using the opponents size against them etc), 3 years worth in okinawa with my father who also taught force recon marines hand to hand combat.

THANK GOD he also taught me to shoot.

I will certianly agree that soceity as been transvaluating values and twisting morality to "pussify" and emasculate each generation. It has been happening ever since the supposed "reniesance" and continues to this day.

Hahaha.

I agree. And it's working.

Sadly enough.

i'm a product of the pussification of america lol. i learned 'strength from an odd source; a book called zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance. (it also pushed me into my current field of work) and just one little paragraph did it. it talks about a greek word/concept - arrete, meaning excellence. meaning that one strives to run like a wolf, fight like a bear, argue like a lawyer, spout poetry like led zepplin, sing like, well, led zepplin (lmfao), etc, because to do anything less than excell in all that one does would displease the gods.

books change lives. strange... and completely OT. sorry.
