The dance routines are not called chinese self defense forms or chinese military forms or chinese sports fighting forms but chinese martial arts forms
There is a reason for that
They do not actually teach you to fight they teach you to look like you can fight people as a performing art in front of an audience
This is different than two person self defense drills in Korean and Japanese self defense systems
Taekwondo & karate are part self defense system part martial art & part sport fighting
@shortstories I had a BJJ sensei once who taught me how the Karate kata were supposed to be used practically. They're like The Karate Kid (original) -- they are all for specific circumstances, but they never tell you that shit in Local City Family Karate.
But yeah, they are all "solutions" to use a Kung Fu term. (My metaphorical faggotry extends to several martial arts styles).
But when you find out the secret meaning of the Karate Kata you just end up with something you could practice in a two person partner drill
So just start with the two person partner drill
Instead of giving a Kata with no explanation of the secret meaning or secret application
It is wasting years of a person's life
@shortstories I agree Karate is a pretty big waste of time for anyone over the age of 10.
So you are saying that it is blasphemy to claim that Jesus needs to learn martial arts from Chuck Norris because it is implying that Chuck Norris is greater than Jesus?
@shortstories @RoninGrey
Silly Shortstories, Jesus learned martial arts between the age of 12 and 32 along with all his other miracles walking on water from Monks,changing water to wine,from drunken masters,casting demons into pigs from Druids all these lost true Israelite arts were taught him as he traveled with His Uncle as a carpenters apprentice to his father along the tin trade routes He only learned American Karate from Chuck
