The word of the day/week/month is"THUMPITUDE".
a level of thumpitude is displayed here.
Now as some of you might already know, I'm a big fan of the more gracefull styles of martial arts such as tai chi, baguazhang, and the likes but these are mostly good for training. Training balance, flowing one technique into the next, smoothly transfering from one move into the next, kinda like the way an avalanch flows down a mountain. It rolls and flows over itself, adjusts to the contour of the mountain and pretty much decimates everything in it's path. Not a bad analogy for martial arts in my opinion.
I know that fighting isn't civalized or pretty or predictable. I can make it gracefull and balanced and flowing though. I mean why not. it's my life on the line why not make my version of thumpitude a little mor gracefull than..than that drunk chick on the dance floor at the bar that one weekend, you know the one she couldn't even walk but man she could dance, right off the floor and into the speaker tower ending her manouver under the table. Round of applause for Lisa (every bar in the world has a drunk skanky woman passed out under a table named Lisa. come on everyone knows that)
That was a little off topic. Back to my point, I have a unique situation whereas I have studied Kung-fu ( Which litterally means HARD WORK! ok hard work over time to develop skill. Not some foofy dancy fighting style that only works if your 5'1" and 95lbs) with some very experienced teachers, military types and such. There Kung-fu looked less like Bruce Lee and more like these guys. there is definately a degree of Thumpitude in the flow of what they tought me.
So remember kids, the word is "Thumpitude"
