Generation Jobless
A cool documentary, and although focused on Canada (Toronto specifically) it also applies to a lot of other developed countries such as the US.

Yep. I was doing a lot of Krav Maga variants in the past. I also do Kali on relatively rare occasions. My main theme however is Atarashii Naginata (Japanese sportive martial art which involves fencing with a Naginata - the japanese halberd) which I also teach and compete.
I also do Iaido but not as seriously as Naginata.

Hapkido for me. Should be grading for first dan relatively soon.
I used to do Jujitsu and wanted to take up Baritsu but couldn't find a club so started Simlambam instead.

I take a mixed martial art. Has 7 differant martial arts in it. I enjoy it cause its got a variety of stuff. I have taken a small amount of Tai chi.
I was on my college fencing team (foil). Long ago, I obtained some kind of ranking showing competence at archery (completed all benchmarks up to 50m distance). I've dabbled in mounted archery, kendo, judo, and jujitsu.

Is hapkido the one that uses a piece of cloth as a weapon? I always thought you could find more effective weapons out there.
Hapkido is a Korean style similar to Aikido. The only weapon that I've ever heard associated with it is a cane, but there may be more. I have been involved with Taekwondo for over thirty years. I studied Kungsoodo for twelve years and have had some experience with Wing Chun, Aikido, and Kendo.
I just read Musashi's "Book of Five Rings" this weekend. I had avoided it in the past, but I really liked it. Any other martial arts books that you folks would reccomend?
Hamilton Brian (811 D(B))
24 Mar 14 UTC
Our primary weapons involve knives and swords. However, weaponry seems secondary. I think the beauty of hapkido is the use of joint locks and redirecting energy. If there is an area I would feel the "oh shit" feeling come on, it would be ground work. We practice it so sporadically. Hence, my interest in one of the local MMA/BJJ clubs.
@ Hamilton Brian

Do you use wooden swords in Hapkido? My wife is an aikidoka and they use many different weapons, but primarily they use the wooden sword and Jo. Am I right that the two styles are similar?
Hamilton Brian (811 D(B))
24 Mar 14 UTC
Yes to the wood. I think there are many similarities between the two styles.

If conservatives don't, en masse, change their attitude on this topic and break the liberal monopoly on the multicultural vote...YOU WILL LOSE. PERIOD.

The boston college tapes
This is a difficult one, and I'm really undecided about how I feel about this issue. For those who don't know the boston college tapes are recorded interviews of former paramilitaries in Northern Ireland who only agreed to speak on condition that they would not be released until after their death. Tapes have now been handed to law I forcemeat and some interviewees have been arrested for serious crimes. Help me out here..

Webdiplomacy Tournament 2014
I am interested in starting a Webdiplomacy tournament this year. Please post here if you are interested in joining and state your preferred phase length. At the moment I am thinking 36-72hr phases. It will take solo winners through to the next round and those in draws (the less people the better) might have a chance to join the soloists. Is anyone interested?

"No one is going to annex anyone."
Putin33, about the Crimean situation.
I don't have the link right now, but I'm sure someone wants to look it up so we can all call him out on what he was so absolutely certain about that it was pretty much impossible to have a sensible discussion about Crimea with him.

What did Draug do?
So, there seems to be a running joke about how much everyone hates Draugnar. Other tha the fact that he swears for emphasis a lot, I find he usually makes real points when he posts, and when I have had a real question regarding the game/forum, he has been downright civil and helpful. Polite even.

So what started the whole "everybody hates Draug" thing that gets brought up all the time. let the newbie in on it guys.

Funniest Joke
Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy whips out his phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps, "My friend is dead! What can I do?". The operator says "Calm down. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence, then a shot is heard. Back on the phone, the guys says "OK, now what?"
