The Spirit of Youn Wha Ryu

[terminaltoad]

Lol, I absolutely LOVE the worked self defense at 50 and the crappy point sparring technique at 1:15. I would equally LOVE to get any of these posers in a full contact event.

[jedidraco89]

@terminaltoad they are not posers they are people taking a self defense course fucktard takes a big man to shit talk on the internet dosnt it

[terminaltoad]

@jedidraco89 Lol, I'll talk shit to theirs and your face.

[jedidraco89]

@terminaltoad im sure, you would think a persone who is a blackbelt in a marchel arts class would be more understanding of people but i guess UFC selling out to endorsment deals has claimed anouther victim, if you even are a blackbelt

[terminaltoad]

@jedidraco89 Yeah, you'd think some one involved in the marital arts would be able to spell "martial arts." You'd also think that anyone in the martial arts with more than 2% brain function would immediately recognize YWR as a McDojo. I guess that's just too much to ask of some people.

[jedidraco89]

@terminaltoad YWR is Tae Kwon Doe fagboy dont try to talk shit if you dont know what your talking about retard, oh and better being illiterate than a trash talking homo that apparently does not know the real and obvious points to marital arts, try thinking about what you say

[terminaltoad]

@jedidraco89 Exactly, YWR is nothing more than late 60s shoddy WTF TKD produced in a McDojo format. GMH never went into the wilderness with a mythical monk, never trained under Byung, never attained an 8th in Hapkido (or any of his other high ranks, apparently), never trained in Judo, has never held half of the weapons he claims to be a master of, and never served on the KTF board. GMH is a fraud, and his students are conned posers. Please, graduate high school and don't have kids.

[jedidraco89]

@terminaltoad your talking out your ass now bc your pissed lol and honestly i dont know his history but i know i learned TKD but your lying and thats just low dude

[terminaltoad]

@jedidraco89 Read a biography on Byung. There's no possible way Han could have studied under Byung since Byung was in a North Korean work camp during the times when Han claimed to have trained under him. He never served on the KTF board, he was not old enough to obtain a 7th degree in Hapkido at the time that he claims (let alone an 8th), and his schools are prime examples of McDojos. You are clearly retarded, sir.

[terminaltoad]

@jedidraco89 I have met GMH. I've been a guest at 4 of his school. He doesn't have school around the world, just around the Midwest. The reason is because only you country bumpkins are gullible enough to believe the massive bs that is GMH. I never said that my way was the best, I'm just stating (and backing up) that GMH's way is among the worst. I'd gladly prove it to any YWR challenger at the 2010 Legends of Kung Fu Championships, or any MASSL event. If your style is so great, prove it.

[jedidraco89]

@terminaltoad it already has been dude. time and time again

[jedidraco89]

@jedidraco89 im not saying its has been proved the best im just saying its been proven to be highly effective and very usefull. by the way im not a hick, there you go talking about shit you know nothing about.....again

[terminaltoad]

@jedidraco89 I said "bumpkin," not "hick." Tiny bit different. There you go not knowing your English again.

[terminaltoad]

@jedidraco89 You have video? Cause there isn't any video of any YWR guy fighting in anything other than shoddy YWR point sparring against other deplorable YWR guys on YouTube.

[endoTHEOSIS]

@terminaltoad You do realize that you spelled martial arts wrong right before your quote about being able to spell martial arts.

[endoTHEOSIS]

@terminaltoad Ummm...I saw your videos, and why do you think what you're doing (or friends...whatever) is any better? It first depends on the instructor and school anyway...and your commitment to practicing. All the techniques are similar universally. Is your round-house kick better than a YWR round-house kick?

[terminaltoad]

@endoTHEOSIS Like I indicated on the video, it's just what I could make from 3 or 4 sparring sessions. And yes, my lead-leg round-house is superior to that of a YWR round-house in that it has nearly a 100% success rate and serves as an almost uncounterable initiating technique. Any school that teaches students to begin an attack using a rear-leg or rear-hand technique should be burned to the ground.

[endoTHEOSIS]

@terminaltoad It doesn't just teach to begin with the rear leg, you need to make sure your facts are straight. I almost never use my rear leg in sparring, (for a round-house). I've gotten a black belt in Youn-Wha-Ryu and have since transferred to a more mixed martial art, so I can say that we didn't just learn the rear leg round-house, in fact sometimes we used the front leg roundhouse more.

[terminaltoad]

@endoTHEOSIS It's not just the kick, it's the target. If you come out and say that YWR predominantly trains lead-leg low roundhouses, you'd be lying. For every inch you raise a kick, it gets slower, reducing the probability of success.

[endoTHEOSIS]

@terminaltoad Now I didn't say low did I, So don't accuse me of lying. To add to that, anything I say about YWR is going to be the truth in technical terms...since I have a black belt in it. I think I know what I did for five years, just like what I'm doing now.

[terminaltoad]

@endoTHEOSIS You're right, you didn't come out and say low. I said "IF you come out and say" not "YOU SAID BLAH BLAH BLAH, I'M A DUMBASS GMH NUTHUGGER!1!!!"

A black belt in five years? That screams McDojo.

[endoTHEOSIS]

@terminaltoad Dang, calm down with your caps lock button. Anyway, I worked hard in that martial art, whatever technique you think its lacking, practicing for 1-2 hours a day kinda means something regardless. Are many of the YWR schools McDojo's, maybe it's safe to say the large majority of the offshoot schools are, but not mine. When it comes to getting 1st dan black in five years, so what. That depends on the style. Now comparable to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu I would be soon going for brown belt.

[terminaltoad]

@endoTHEOSIS As is evidenced by you general lack of intelligence, your inability to identify parodies directed at you, and your practice of YWR, it has become apparent that you're not the brightest. I'll be sure to use small words. A black belt is the equivalent of a high school diploma. To earn a diploma takes 12 years, excluding preschool. And yes, you can get a GED at 8 years. Anything less than 8 (the number of fingers on each hand, excluding thumbs), and you don't deserve the belt.

[terminaltoad]

@endoTHEOSIS And for training 2 hours a day, it is pointless if what you are training is crap. Some one could practice harmonica for 2 hours a day and still not be worth a damn in a fight.

[endoTHEOSIS]

@terminaltoad It's not like the fundamentals are that much different. Your analogy doesn't even make sense. How do you know what I was training was crap? What is your knowledge of everything YWR? You're already assuming it's some cheap Mcdojo, so explain how you know this, more than pointing out a false example of a round-house.

[terminaltoad]

@endoTHEOSIS It's not the fundamentals, it's the application of them that makes a difference. It makes perfect sense. I have personally been invited into 4 YWR schools, have know roughly 7 who left after partaking in crappy YWR training, and have dominated several YWR practitioners (hence why YWR practitioners don't compete outside of the WYWRA or with rules not associated with it). I never assumed that YWR was a crapy McDojo chain, I've witnessed it over the course of around 10 years.

[endoTHEOSIS]

@terminaltoad Maybe those practitioners sucked.

[terminaltoad]

@endoTHEOSIS Two YWR instructors, one grappling instructor/ YWR grappling medalist, one YWR state champion point fighter. Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and agree with you: they suck. And if they ever come out of their holes and go with me again, I will videotape and upload it, and publicly humiliate them in front of the entire world. I'll also extend that courtesy to you. Any MASSL event, the 2010 Legends of Kung Fu tourney, or any time you pass through town.

[endoTHEOSIS]

@terminaltoad Well a medalist and two instructors don't necesarrily represent and entire group of the best YWR has to offer. There are a lot of people in it...and yes possibly too many undeserving black belts. It's still not as bad as your saying it is. Ironically if I saw right on your account, you are at Missouri S&T. I'm actually going there next year.

[terminaltoad]

@endoTHEOSIS Yeah, I completely understand how medalists and state champions within your system wouldn't be adequate representations of your system. I'm sure you'll do much better next fall.

[endoTHEOSIS]

@terminaltoad Whatever, but I am one of those gold medalists. Right now, considering I've been hurt for a while, wouldn't matter as to me competing. I haven't trained in a while. You are entirely too arrogant about yourself and martial art, two things YWR smashes yours in. Christian background. I've seen several people kicked out just for getting into a small fight outside of class. I think you miss the whole point.

[terminaltoad]

@endoTHEOSIS So you train 2 hours a day, but haven't been, assert that your medalists are not indicative of worth, then claim to be one, claim that you are at least equal to me, but back down from any sort of field test. That's weak.

[endoTHEOSIS]

@terminaltoad "Trained" for two hours a day, agreed partially with you but pointed out that I am a medalist as fact, did not claim that i'm equal to you and never backed down from any field test. Like I'm going to actually go meet someone I don't even know, from a youtube message. Second, you obviously wouldn't understand the religion side of it, what does 5000 years have to do with anything, the art isn't Christian, the foundation is. It has nothing to do with learning Christianity.

[terminaltoad]

@endoTHEOSIS I asked you to meet at a competition. Since you're incapable of driving in your reduced mental capacity, I can wait until next fall if I'm still here.

The last 5000 years has everything to do with everything.

Regardless, according to Gen. Choi, you practice a system of pathetic imitation. According to Jesus, you pay for Christian guidance at a lukewarm church run by moneychangers. Together, they'd vomit you into the streets and beat your sorry asses with whips, fists, and feet.

[endoTHEOSIS]

@terminaltoad That doesn't change anything I said and insulting other's religions just makes you look like a stupid bigot. Why grace with my time by going so that you can prove something only you care about. Oh...and Tae-Kwon-Do began around 300 A.D. Martial arts as a "uniform" style only dates back a few hundred years B.C.

[terminaltoad]

@endoTHEOSIS Your reading level must be prodigiously low, I never insulted a religion. I insulted a group that charges people to have religious ideologies crammed down their throats with a crappy YWR chaser.

TKD has NOT been around since 300AD. Taekkyeon possibly, but not likely. TKD is NOT Taekkyeon.

TKD was created after the Japanese occupation of Korea ended in 1945. The character for "Tae" didn't exist until 1955. "Traditional" TKD was based on Shotokan, which only dates back to 1939.

[endoTHEOSIS]

@terminaltoad Yes by began I could Taekkyeon...but rather the styles prevalent to the Silla dynasty it its beginnings, my bad...oh and yes you did insult religion "you moron". Re-read perhaps what you wrote and consider your view on how churches function. Obviously you have no concept of how "churches" work...but that's a whole other argument. On saying a few hundred years BC, wrong, I was. But it's still not 5000BC as you mentioned...if you're going to be technical.

[terminaltoad]

@endoTHEOSIS 1) TKD is not in any way grounded in the styling of the Silla dynasty. True, they both have punches and kicks, but so did Pankration. The styles of the Silla dynasty died with the Silla dynasty. To say that TKD is based on the styles of the Silla dynasty is equivalent to saying that they are based on Pankration.

[terminaltoad]

@endoTHEOSIS 2) I didn't insult any religion, I said that YWR would be classified as a "luke-warm" church under Revelation 3:14-22. Since preaching isn't the #1 focus of YWR, it is, by Jesus', definition a lukewarm church.

[terminaltoad]

@endoTHEOSIS 3) If a system has been around well before 2000BC, it would be well over 4000 years old aka close to 5000 years old. I said "The last 5000 years," not "The last 5000 years BC."

[terminaltoad]

@endoTHEOSIS For styles, it is undeniable that Pankration was practiced in 700BC, but is believed to be as old as 2000BC. Statues of Greek boxers have been uncovered from 2000BC. Egyptian Kuta and Tahtib dates to around the same time. The Standard of Ur depicts battle tactics of the era and dates to 2600BC. Chinese forces received uniform combat instruction dating back to at least 1022BC. Finally, Kalarippayattu is likely to have originated at around 3000BC. A moron, you are.

[terminaltoad]

@endoTHEOSIS Next, you instantly lose for bringing in religion. The last 5000 of martial arts training has not been about promoting Christianity, and it most definitely shouldn't be. Martial arts are codified combat systems. They have, and have always been, about learning to defend your self and how best to kill the person offending you. Following the 10 Commandments isn't going to help a girl defend herself from a rapist. You and your puny system are entirely too pathetic.

[outspokenreflex]

@endoTHEOSIS they all suck.
