Martial Arts

I have two translations on the Book of Five Rings.
In one it is writen, the perceiving eye must be stronger than the observing eye.
The other is oposite? Tell me which is correct and why?

I do not want it to be completely/only defensive and I would like it to have weapon (sword) use, also preferably Japanesse martial art.. I am planning to start a martial art but I am not sure which one. So, any martial art you are aware of that fits that description?

ALL Martial arts follows a "Pattern" or a "Form" the ONLY way u can actually be "formless" is to.....DO NOTHING!!!!!

If you look at enough Krav Maga videos.....u even see Recurring Patterns even it That! I see Patterns in the Ninpo-Ryu's ,too
You CANT Do ANYTHING without a form!

there is (quite an obscure) martial art which is most recognised by quite an amazing move.

you basically do a front flip, but your feet dont land on the floor, and instead onto the opponents shoulders either side of his head, and you somehow spin around and throw him to the ground. a spectacular looking moving.

id like to know tha name of the martial art.
its none of the usual, i.e karate, kung fu, ju jitsu, tae kwondo, muay thai, etc

wouldn't a Sumo wrestler type guy be really good at Greco-roman wrestling. he would be Completely unmanageable by the other guy, and he'd DEFINITELY be strong enough to pull the other guy down.

I posted a question last night about irritating elbow
pain and I finally figured out what I did. In my BJJ
class this week we have been doing this:

http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/amaas/grappling/elbowpress.html


I'm pretty sure that's what caused it all.
Is there a certain amount of time that I
should wait to go back to training or
no?

I've been doing RICE and taking pain
killers since last night, but I don't know
what else to do. The pain is still bothering
me a lot.

Does anyone know the correct way to perform the paper punching drill for hand speed. This is a drill that Bruce Lee performed. Are you supposed to make contact with the paper or move the paper with the air from the force of your hand?

seriously,

if you are a martial artist it is my opinion that you MUST must follow the JKD philosophy, meaning in short:

"use what works FOR YOU regardless of what style it comes from"

Imo if you are a serious student of the martial arts and you found a way to make a fade away jump shot work for you in a fight then why the hell shouldn't you use it?

maybe I'm being extreme, but shouldn't ALL martial artists study JKD which is just basically the art of using whatever the hell works for you?

I understand that if you are new to martial arts and just learning and don't really know then you probably don't have the background to start experimenting with what works before you have a grasp of some basics- but once you have some experience under your belt why the hell wouldn't you use something that works for you.

So, I don't want to be scared of anymore dental damage if I may ever need to stick up for myself. It is not solely the fear from the experience of my front tooth being broke in half that makes me ask this question. I see it happen to many other people.And it is not realistic to carry around a mouthguard at all times. Could you recommend an absolute mouth guarding strategy??

It is well known that Fedor refused to sign with UFC because Dana wouldn't let him fight in Sambo tournaments in Russia. Insulting Fedor's ability as a fighter can't have gone over well either. Now, Dana's hardball tactics and snot nosed arrogance has cost him and all UFC fans bigtime. There's no one to replace these two guys folks. Do you think Dana is too damn arrogant and disrespectful for his (and the UFC's) own good? I know it isn't normal to let fighters fight outside the UFC, but isn't losing Fedor to another organization and Randy to retirement a much more costly alternative? Dana was simply too damn cocky and sure of himself and even said the other day he was certain Fedor would sign by the beginning of next year. This one has really come back to bite Dana and UFC fans in the ***. If the UFC declines in popularity, Dana has only himself to blame for his arrogance and disrespect of both Fedor and Randy during contract negotiations.
