Nescire autem quid ante quam natus sis acciderit, id est semper esse puerum. Quid enim est aetas hominis, nisi ea memoria rerum veterum cum superiorum aetate contexitur? -- Cicero, Marcus Tullius (106-43BC)

May 16	comment	Attacked by black belt +1 for the middle paragraph.
May 15	comment	What are the classical/canonical books for Aikido (all styles) A down vote with no feedback... Thank you for the time you took to try to improve the question.
May 13	comment	What is the oldest documented Eastern Martial Art that is still practiced? +1, no idea why this was down voted.
May 1	comment	Why should I wear my gi with left side over right side? +1, not sure if this is accurate but it's a good theory.
Apr 30	comment	Who was the first female judoka? Spiting hair, we could say that Tomoe Gozen (巴御前?) was one of the first known ones although she would have trained in the ancestor martial arts that gave rise to those that might have influenced the ones that were used to derive judo/aikido. ^_~
Apr 30	comment	Who was the first female judoka? I like the question but I think there are three there: first female judoka, first female aikidoka, and how to do techniques against giants. I would up vote all three! On the latter part, I always suggest to smaller people doing kote-hineri on larger ones to carefully and with control use one or two or three fingers instead of the whole hand.
Apr 26	comment	Why should I wear my gi with left side over right side? It is just awesome. Do it now.
Apr 26	comment	Why should I wear my gi with left side over right side? @slugster: I would class zombie karateka as undead so covered by the exception rule. Ditto for yakuza zombies with guns from the 444th portal aka Forest Of Resurrection.
Apr 22	comment	Krav Maga, is it 100% legal for defense? Just to make things clear: while you can ask legal advise from plebs on the Internet, please check with a criminal lawyer if you want a valid and legal answer.
Apr 22	comment	Krav Maga, is it 100% legal for defense? +1, very nice answer indeed.
Apr 21	comment	Start attacking instead of blocking while sparring I have no idea why the downvote. This is a great answer in term of advise, drills, and humour! +1
Apr 17	comment	Choosing a Target When Cornered by Multiple Attackers If this situation is common where you live, consider moving somewhere else?... ^_~
Apr 17	comment	Choosing a Target When Cornered by Multiple Attackers I am unhappy with your statement of attacking first. This might put you on the wrong side of the law. This post might even constitute evidence that you intended to be corned to fight thus diminishing any self defence argument in court. I am not a lawyer nor do I play one on TV so I would strongly advise you seek local legal advise.
Apr 16	comment	How effective are foul techniques as a side control escape? @Trevoke: I was aware of that ^_~. To be honest, this is almost a good answer bare for the legal ignorance. I like the getting away, the not staying to fight, and the note about the dangers of getting bio hazard material into your mouth. However, ignorance of the law is no excuse for any martial artist. Propagating myths about the law is likely to get people in jail.
Apr 15	comment	How effective are foul techniques as a side control escape? if you can justify using that level of force it is legal is at best oversimplifying the laws covering self defence and certainly shows no understanding of legal matters. Sorry, my down vote stands.
Apr 15	comment	How effective are foul techniques as a side control escape? -1 for lack of understanding of the laws regarding self defence.
Apr 11	comment	Is martial arts training 'inadequate' for the real world? -1 Both answers are the same: myth of MA being sports thus useless, over simplification of violence, and oversimplified sociological arguments. A factual error: Aikido does have sport competition.
Mar 29	comment	Rule 1: Cardio. What exercises are worth doing to increase cardiovascular fitness? +1 thank you for your answer, it is a good one.
Mar 26	comment	Measuring the foot when buying Tabi (and giving the size using the japanese convention) I was unsure and to be honest, I like the question so it should remain open! ^_~
Mar 26	comment	Measuring the foot when buying Tabi (and giving the size using the japanese convention) I am not sure the question should be on topic since it involves shoe size which are not really martial art specific. Maybe Japan language would be a better place to ask? However, the question itself is very well phrased, researched, and interesting to martial artists so I vote we keep it! BTW +1.
