Flame Free Confession III: Even More Flame Free (Part 1)

Liu Bang(The Chu-Han Contention) was the biggest wuss in Chinese history. His wife was the one who won everything for him.

Since we’re assigning fault here I’m also blaming Asians in general and the Japanese in particular for making me believe the idea that, if I were to study a martial art, it should be Ninjitsu. I considered this a sound concept for many years.

Edit: In hindsight, I suppose I need to at least shift some of the blame to Van Damme and his misleading depiction of ninjitsu’s effectiveness in Bloodsport.

If I were less cursed with racism I might’ve held Chong Li’s methods in higher esteem.

I just wanna see somebody whip out one of those big fancy halberds and go all crazy with it.

I also don’t know if that’s a confession or not. I’m leaning towards not.

A popular trope in classic Chinese literature is the strongman who downs a couple of roasted chickens with a liter of spirits then whips out (insert insanely heavy weapon) to whoop some corrupt official ass

Bah, ninjas couldn’t even beat a drunk Tom Cruise in The Last Samurai. Wusses.

Guan Yu, now known as The God of War, supposedly wielded a 100lb blade lol.

Who needs a gym when your weapon is heavier than most guys in a commercial gym can overhead press :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
Sidenote: women’s dresses used to weigh 40+ lbs and some would walk a couple of hours a day on their estate grounds

What in the fuck has been going on in this thread for the last 100 replies…

This thread is always weird to jump back into, especially now that it’s in this subforum.

The power of Chinese kungfu.

Nuns in China used to be able to make you bleed from your eyes, nose, mouth, ears all at once by lightly touching your pressure points. The Exploding Heart Technique in Kill Bill was child’s play compared to this.

I don’t know really anything about Chinese culture or mysticism, but me and that dude are like spiritual buddies.

I think there’s something deep in some men’s souls that says ā€œHere’s how you fix thatā€¦ā€. :joy:
