i have beef

to the guy that said "id hate to see what the samauri would think about how there arts are being used" buddy the samauri used to kill people with there skills.

and some people think that if thay know martial arts that there abell to take anyone, thats so not true, i know a guy that took two black belts at the same time.

yo NATHAN all i hear you say is smart ass remarks about other people mabey you sould check your self
and NATHAN what the hell is a "muppet"
i dont know im pritty crazy

bigred...

A muppet = donut/wombat/womble/pillock/idiot/stupid etc

a muppet is also a puppet from sesame street (big bird, bert and ernie are my favs)

Im not up on my japanese history but surely samurai were warriors defending there people and land not just killing people for the fun of it? ________________________________________________

They also killed and raped alot to I hope martial artists are more interested in the root of martial arts and not the different decorative branches, flowers or leaves

Cool, what belt do i need before i get to do that ;-) ________________________________________________

Is ths the bullshit section

NO

I seem to recall reading that after the decline of the samurai system a lot of the Ronin became hired thugs and gangsters. Interesting how a lot of the arts we think of as 'noble' were once considered a thugs game (until some nice person cleaned them up for middle-class consumption).
Oh, isn't a muppet a character with no mind of its own and somebody's hand up its hole?
