This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Feel free to message me privately with whatever city you are in.

I probably won't know anything about it, but I'll bet some of the more hardcore guys at the school will.  They should be able to give good suggestions on who is near you.  Or at least who to avoid.

(Not promising, I might ask about "Little Rock", for example, and get blank stares.)

I only know the greater St. Louis area personally.

Actually, yeah... I'm in Little Rock.

Don't f#%k with me.

Are you seriously in Little Rock?
If I stop replying, it either means I've lost interest in the topic or think further replies are pointless.  I don't need the last word, it's all yours.

Hey, Martial Arts is a LOT better than where it could have gone.

I may be old, but I don't remember Conan seeking consent very often ... it seemed more "Ready or not, here it comes ...."

I think the story is Valley of Women or something similar, but in it Conan literally concludes thatcif he cant get a womans consent she isnt suited to him and that he should send her back to civilization.

EDIT: Its Vale of Lost Women.

Absolutely NO ONE in MMA considers Bruce Lee to be the godfather of MMA.

Israel Adesanya does. Sorry, had to get you for that flagrant gross overgeneralizing. ;)

You are right.

And all Dan I's students, most of the current JKD crowd, etc.


I was just trying to warn the board if they went to a gym, it's not a good topic.

These days I box, I train with my father and brothers, my old man was a high level amateur boxer with multiple state and regional tournament wins and occasionally sparring partner for some 80's contenders. He was 151-6 when he hung it up.

I won't knowingly criticize anything to do with parents or family.

I apologize, please ignore me.


P.S. 151 - 6 is awesome, under any circumstances.  I wish I could ever be close to that good.  Seriously.  We all like to think we could be champs, but that kind of record shows he put up again, and again, again.  That isn't luck.  My respect.

Oh no it's totally cool. I'm not under the impression that Boxing is the end all be all of the martial arts world. Oh and thanks, yeah he was pretty good in his day though heaven knows he paid for it, his body is basically shot now.
