This isn't the same video Mr. Martinez posted, but I would like to hear your opinion.

Reading comprehension not your strong suit is it?

 

No, it's not, I admit my fault. Chalk up my answers to my poor reading comprehension. Thank you for recognizing that. Oh man, precious... little chimp get all riled up again.

 

Writing cogently clearly not much better.....

 

Yeah... that's not going to happen after you've bashed my teacher all around this forum.

 

Not about your teacher, we know what he taught in the past.

But about recent Tuhons in PTK, remember we're trying to help out Tim Waid break from the clutch of Gaje here, like Tom Bisio in the 80s.

 

I'm sure! I don't have the benefit of over 1461 post. I need more practice in this keyboard warrior thing. You seem to be at an expert level.

 

Hey, Hannibal, will stop badgering my witness?!!!

 

And counting is not that great either....

 

Withdrawn your honor

 

If I refresh the homage maybe 10 times within an hour and the thread has jumped from 10 posts to 40+ in that time, and Hannibal's name (among a few others) is up a lot as the most recent poster, I already know what's going on in the thread.

 

WAR TAPOUT!!!!!!!

 

ha ha ha!

My bad. Damn over 14600! You're like a grandtuhon of keyboard fighting.

 

OK, let's do it this way...

My theory on why PTK techniques in the corto range became unpopular recently is that much of this is the result of the blade propaganda propogated in the 90s and early 2000s.

70s, 80s, and early 90s PTK looked much like any other FMA out there, but since assuming the lost blade culture propaganda, focus naturally shifted to just sparring with the ubiquitous ginunting, which means just a bunch of 1s and 2s and moving around a lot.

Somehow the whole art, PTK, became a slave of the blade propaganda and lost its applied corto techniques, and other really cool technical stuff still common among the FMAs.

Although, they found a niche in the blade market, I'd say much was lost and sacrificed along the way, hence every current PTK videos all look alike, and not very technical.

That's why you have people like Kagete, drinking the kool-aid & asking for seconds, asserting that PTK doesn't block.

How's that for a theory. Pretty, close, huh?

 

Oh, and by the way, do you personally know this Gem mentioned on the other thread?

 

You say that as if keyboard fighting ability and real world ability are mutually exclusive

Believe me son - they ain't

 

You theory is alright, but it is completely off the solar system.

Oh, and PTK doesn't block.

 

I'm a non-believer. Show me is my motto.

 

I don't know gem at all. Sorry.

 

Exactly, and that's why you guys lost so much, at least the newer batch. Hopefully, Tim can rectify this, either by approaching Gaje's older students or going back to the Philippines to train with others. But those corto techniques were there before.

 

Oh look - an internet challenge......and you call me a keyboard warrior??

How about showing us who you are first? I am very easy to find yet i see you are safely hiding behind your screename...stange that
