@TabbyAngel2 That's amusing; because, in Genesis, God said it wasn't good for Adam to be alone and made for him another human (Eve).

@brymacbluesband You do realize that weight lifting also puts similar (though less extreme) strain on the bones? That's why bones get thicker and denser if you start working out allot. Also, working out damages muscle tissue, so your muscles get stronger because your telling your body that they a...

@Tmanowns He didn't just cut off blood/air to knock him out or kill him. He crushed the cartilage of his throat, collapsing his trachea; without quick medical help, it's lethal. You can hear him crushing it if you pay attention.

@IMelkor42 That's an electronic action. It never became popular in the US (because of the need for batteries), but they had a short lived popularity in europe and some spy/action stories.

@XDmeXDXD All martial arts are made to serve a purpose, and Krav Maga serves IT'S purpose better then Eskrima could, it is true. What was the purpose? To train people in VERY LITTLE TIME to be very effective in hand-to-hand. Most arts retrain your body to react in a way that is better for combat,...

@Shivasyn13 That varies from art to art. Some styles of karate have it at the end, some have it during the punch, some don't turn at all, preferring a vertical punch (Isshinryu is a good example).

@3137371 Actually, you would see a lot of these sorts of techniques in

Greek Pale, and German Ringen, as well as other western grappling arts. Most of it has been lost as the arts devolved into sports. Much like old Bare-Nuckle Boxing used to be similar to eastern striking arts, but the prize-fi...

@Miskat0nicUniversity Except I don't really count 1:03 as a kill. The longsword next to his face prevented him from having the reach to do more then scratch him with the tip. Lethal targets are inside the body, just because you make contact over one, doesn't mean you can penetrate to them (though...

@AnobviousX Actually I probably make less then you do. I barely make enough to pay my bills and eat, and that's with me being insanely lucky with a ridiculously cheep apartment/car and no health insurance at all. I just think people who work for their money have a right to it, and parents with mo...

Umm... the chin doesn't naturally duck down.... Boxers have to retraining themselves so that the chin always ducks down because the natural reaction is to pull back... exposing the chin and throat. Some my duck, but it's not as common. It's amusing that this guy thinks his few decades is greater ...

@metalbullitt Good point, but I want to correct something. If you went to feudal japan, you wouldn't see much submission training. The goal wasn't to take the joint to the point where it was about to break/dislocate/etc and hold it there until they submit. It was to shove/pull/force the joint PAS...

@blackbelt807 Um.... that depends on what branch you are studying... Strikes were used in Aiki-Jujutsu and it's "offspring" Aikido. The more advanced you get in the art, the less you need striking. Some of the branches lead by later students don't use much (if any) strikes because of that. But it...

@slingman6 He was also sic when he did this. Jet-Lag weakened his immune system when he came to the US, so he had a cold and was too tired to put full strength into it.

Interesting interpretation. It's a little different then the basic one I was taught, but my sensei was big into the idea that there were always multiple interpretations of a good kata, and gave all of these interpretations as alternate understandings. I may return to this art, I've been mostly st...

@ranwolf76 The bibles we are reading today come from documents written in the first and early second century, long before the Roman Catholic Church began to seek political power. There is no historical document in the world that has more proof of authenticity and accuracy of transference then the...

I respect the universe.

@JokerGanja Jesus existence is a historical fact. Greek contemporaries (people who were neither Christians, nor Jews) wrote about him and those who followed him. Rumors of a man performing miracles spread out from Israel and to surrounding areas. That doesn't prove that he was God, nor does it pr...

@YourbrandofOxygen Watch some of her other stuff. She plays some really DIFFERENT people. But, yes, she is very like Bella. That is why she was such a good Bell, she just had to be herself.

@smokyp3nguin It grows in one weak what a normal baby would in about three months. It's also many tens of times stronger then a fetus. So it is capable of making itself felt at a smaller size then most.

@kalia10snsdkara Um... if you haven't seen the movie, stop reading this and wait. If you have and missed it... Jacob distracted the wolves so some of the Cullens could go hunt and get some 0- blood for Bella. This was where the Paule realized that Jake had distracted them.

@ChevaliersEmeraude There is Brienne, the "Maid of Tarth". There is also Ygritte and the other spear wives. There are several women in Dorne, the southern most part of Westeros, who are warriors. I think there might be a few more who I have forgotten... Queen Cercei never learned to fight, but sh...

@FAILtasticvideos Yes it does. When cats are really angry they pull their ears back so that they cant be bitten during a fight.

@ningcaptor you are ignorant. Cat's ALWAYS do this. If the cat wasn't playing, it would have eviscerated the kitten in about two seconds. I have seen what a cat that really wants to fight can do. This is called PLAYING, and is an important part in the development of the child. The cat wasn't usin...

@1IronMaiden123 What does this have to do with farmers?

Sorry, that's a joke based on history. Christianity originally spread through the cities; so, by the the second-third, century every one in the cities were Christians while the farmers and ranchers weren't. The Greek word for farmer is the...

@theragdollbrothers The 1st amendment says that the government can't stop you, it doesn't say anything about us....

@1xxMCRxxROCKSxx1 I find this interesting considering that most of the truly good metal bands (bands that are more then just pointless noise) draw very heavily from the Orchestral music of the "Romantic" period.

Bad form. I keep seeing the defender putting his edge against his opponents edge; always a bad idea. Driving the thinnest, most brittle part of your sword into an oncoming force? You are going to damage your sword. This is a problem in western arts, but an even bigger problem with Katana. Because...

@robotkop3000 You obviously don't understand Japanese morals and honor. To the samurai, honor is about obligation. He swore allegiance to his lord and served him. He would do ANYTHING his lord told him to, and would believe it a sin not to. A Samurai would kill his own wife and kids if his lord t...

@crayonman09 actually, I would say that reach is about the same. Because of body mechanics, wielding the same sword, you have greater reach using one hand then two. The messer is a little shorter then the Katana, but it's reach is about the same.

@the0edge0master Different word choice. Langes Messer means long knife while Grosse Messer means Great Knife. Same concept, just another word choice.

@cerkuenik Clothing could be part of it. If you are wearing a lot of furs or bulky layers of wool, because it's cold, striking becomes less effective. This kind or wrestling could work despite clothing. This kind of grappling is also more effective against a man in armor then some of the more sub...

@MegaAnonanimal Wow, myth upon myth. There are few better cutters then the Katana (they do exist, but are usually harder to actually use) but there are many better thrusters. There is NO better sword when it come to balancing cutting and thrusting then the European Longsword!!! The Longsword isn'...

@dalaeck I agree, but I would like to ask you this, why cut bone? Cutting bone never killed anyone. Bleeding out is the primary way someone dies in this kind of fight, and that can be accomplished without cutting bone. Also, its surprising how someone can keep fighting with really bad injuries, b...

@supazak The problem here isn't the attacker, it's the defender. He isn't advancing nearly far enough, so the swords man is helping (really, hindering) by starting too close. It's a classic training mistake were the attacker makes it easier on the defender by making it unrealistic. It's bad marti...

They way this guy is moving the wooden longsword leads me to thing that either he sucks, or the wooden longsword is horribly blade-heavy.

@ValkyereHowie Yeah. There is an old saying, there is no superior martial art, only a superior martial artist. The training a warrior receives will have an effect on the warrior produced, but the mindset of the warrior has bigger effect then the limits of the styles. All new style exist because a...
