    I don't know about the rest of you guys, but my "us" is ENORMOUS.

    This one part here speaks to me, I know someone who went through this very thing and I saw how it marked him and his family:

    As if the gang of home invaders; whose game plan is to duct tape you to a chair while they gang rape your wife before slitting both your throats, gives a rat's ass who your teacher was or who he learned from or what the "correct" name for your art really is. The only thing that will impress a member of that gang will be when you make one of his important body parts stop functioning or when everything suddenly goes black.

    Praise be my Lord my Rock,
    He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !

    well, he's stating the obvious. at least for me. his message overall is that it's useless to be a lineage ho, which i think a lot of us get, except for many of those in that "other" forum here .

    Also, he is painting a picture of fillipinos as gullible and too readily warlike.
    Kung Fu is good for you.
