Do I have NAD?! (Not Asian Dilemma)

[Colonel Frank Grimes]

I fear I suffer from NAD (Not Asian Dilemma). I didn't think I did until I said boxing is inferior to Muay Thai cuz I came to the conclusion one would allow a higher probability of a better outcome in real life situations than the other. I favored a sport that I have no connection to culturally over one that I did.

Except for anime and magma comics all my life I've been interested in Asian shizzle. I would read about Japanese medieval history and was obsessed with Samurais as a child. A big fan of Japanese films, especially Akira Kurasawa films. I wrote a book report on Confucius' biography in 8th grade. I did Karate and Judo as a kid for years and I'm obsessive with Asian martial arts (both the legitimate and goofy stuff). I bought any comic book (not Magma; I don't think those types of comics existed when I was a kid) that was even remotely about Samurais, such as Usagi Yojimbo.

Does my interest make me... *sigh* ... a SELF HATER???!!!!!! Or just someone who can appreciate other cultures and acknowledge some cultures have some things that are superior to my own?

OMG HELP ME!!!!!!!!




Zatoichi is so bad ass.

In that case everyone has NAD(Not American Dilemma) where I live, because everyone watches American movies and listens to American music.

How dare you make a conscious decision to watch American films and TV shows. What would Rammstein say?

I'm totally going to heel hook her. What is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu other than three Brazilian brothers becoming obsessed with Japanese Jiu-Jitsu and adding on to it? They must have been full of self hate to take an interest in a foreign martial art and improve on it.



Etain, you are done.

You are a big Asia-fan, there is nothing wrong with it. You aren’t self hater at all. I have Takeshi Kitano’s Zatoichi on DVD.

Muay Thai is the one sport which is deadlier than boxing because a Muay Thai kick delivers more pounds per square inch, the catch is however, that Muay Thai fighters have been kicking trees in the forest for 12 hours a day since they were like 6 years old. This would put non-Thais at a disadvantage. Boxing is the deadliest martial arts form in terms of sheer practicality.

I would think any type of grappling that allows you to put someone in a chock hold is superior to boxing. All a person has to do is take your back and you will die. Unless the boxer knocks the guy out he's going to be taken down to the ground where he'd be like a child who doesn't know how to swim left out in the middle of the ocean.

The first ever match between a Judo black belt (Gene Lebelle) and a professional boxer (Milo Savage) ended in the boxer being chocked out. To make it even more dominant Savage was cheating by greasing himself up so Labelle couldn't get a hold of him and cut his gloves so he could wear brass knuckles.
