    Hmm. Running Man & Death Race 2000.

     

    Looks like it could be a good very bad film.

     

    That's the very best kind! A vastly underrated and under-represented cinema experience.

    I spent around 14 years learning how to swing a sword in the SCA' date=' does that count for anything?[/quote']

     

    Hell yeah! "They pushed me around, gave me all that crap, 'till I taught them all about the rising snap: I was born in the SCA . . ."

    :yawn: Once again' date=' this becomes a "my kung fu is better than your kung fu" thread.[/quote']

     

    Oddly enough' date=' though, usually when I play a martial artist, I make up a martial art for him, like Seven Dragon Thunder (my character's name, as well). My first character was a ninja -- he used ninjitsu. Don't judge me, this was the early eighties.[/Quote']

     

    I was actually trying to do both. It's just that, when it comes to self-defense, there're so many phonies out there that I try to steer people clear.

    Aikido being useless: Sorry' date=' don't buy it. Japanese Riot Police are taught that. No way am I going to believe the Japanese are going to send RIOT POLICE to train for a year in something that doesn't work. (Reference: [u']Angry White Pajama[/u], by Robert Twigger)

     

    Weeellll, there's Aikido and then there's Aikido. I assume that Japanese Riot Police are taught a different sort of Aikido than the kind I've run into. I've met black belts in Aikido who can barely tie their shoes. When I was a beginning Escrima student, we were working out in an Aikido dojo. The black belt who loaned us the space grabbed a jo and wanted to spar. I could disarm her -- my instructor, who was more politic, didn't spar.

     

    Around my current home town, there are a few Aikido dojos, but they've given up even trying to call themselves 'self-defense' schools.

    I'd stick to Aikijutsu, or better yet, Jae's Sin Moo Hapkido.

     

    Oddly enough, though, usually when I play a martial artist, I make up a martial art for him, like Seven Dragon Thunder (my character's name, as well). My first character was a ninja -- he used ninjitsu. Don't judge me, this was the early eighties. :lol:

    My collection of pr0n says that you're wrong -- half the human race wants to, if you just bring a pizza or come over to fix the plumbing. :yes:

    Re: ninja heroes from each state

     

    From San Francisco, California, comes The Mist: master of stealth and evasion. Almost impossible to see, much less hit, and fighting him is frustrating and winds up becoming very painful as you collide with walls and asphalt. He has been detained, with his assent, but can never be held . . . .
