The Warrior's Heart

is there any way to tell who wrote this wiki?

I was just on UFC.com and noticed that Stephan Bonnar had fought in a match. As far as I knew he was suspended for a year due to suspected 'roid use. Has the year been up already, or did he appeal the decision and win?

How does anyone else feel about Royce Gracie being caight using roids? Does that cast a shadow on all that he has done in the past since back in the day they never checked for roid use.

anyone who hasnt done it yet should check out the lightsaber fights on youtube, some of them are awesome, and most of them are totally hilarious.

I wandered in search of this one, because I have a certain interest in the Victorian period..And two, because I periodicly actually use a cane for it's intended purpose... What can I say?..Too much abuse of the knees as a younger man...

And during the Victorian {as well as other periods} a man's stick was a useful means of defense.. Benefitting from it's simple innocuous nature.
*grin*
I did find considerably more than I was looking for.

INterestingly enough.. I found another site that had many of the original illustrations.. One of the things I noticed was the predominance of "Hanging guard".. Something that isn't much taught in these days of "sport fencing".

Periodicly overblown...but occaisionally interesting...

Modern Warfare

this might be getting more into the the realm of theory than this communitty is intended for. I think its valuable, I'll find something on Jedi and Klingons or something later.

An interesting thing about warriors I have noticed is how the majority of people either don't understand or misuse the term. Most of the time I have seen the word it has been synonymous with fighter. Having just spent quite a few hours on the website for the MACE school (Martial Arts Center of Excellence - the headquarters for USMC MCMAP) I have been thinking alot over martial arts and their applications as a warrior.

Someone might find this interesting. Or even useful..

I found something on one of the other boards that has me scratching my head {metaphorically at least}.
And it's one of those odd things that I seem to encounter repeatedly over the years...And still cannot grasp.
The fellow in question lists off half a dozen weapon forms..
Pole arms {various}, longbow archery, multiple sword styles, etc etc etc..
And then in the next breath ..States that he does not practice a "martial art"...
*sigh*
I see/have seen this, over and over again..
And when I do see it..I usually see a marked difference in their mental and philosophical outlook.

Have you noticed this also??
