Hello

Any ideas about how to train in martial arts techniques and activities in a wheelchair. Heavybag, sparring etc was great when I could stand and move, but their next to impossible in a wheelchair. thanks for any insights.

vex

here we go, the follower speaks out,
Its not my intention to get into a slanging match, but when my words are taken out of context, i feel it only right to respond. Firstly, maybe the 'master of the universe' comment was a little harsh, but his reference to himself as the best martial artist alive (whatever his EXACT words were i dont recall, but they were to that effect) did upset me, as no reputable master i have ever met would speak in such a manner (humble) as for research on the internet, that was your comment, if you read what i said again, you'll see i never said anything regarding the internet, simpy "follow your own instincts as to a mans credability" how you interpret that as "use the internet as your means" or whatever else you 'think' you read, is beyond me.Or should you be refering to my having said "i will research this art" research is my first step before deciding to study first hand. This seems only logical (also,being a stickler for detail, research comes in more forms then the internet , if that was the comment you were referring to. As for being humble, i do not see how me refering to my masters as some of the greatest alive is being arrogant. i said THEY are, not I AM, as does your hero ewok, eawood, whatever his name is. To respect ones master/s deeply is at the core of a honourable students mentality.
What i was simply trying to say was, to use your own intelligence, and good judgement. Obviously, you have neither. Even the name you chose is a symbol of arrogance. Again, i know virtually nothing of the specific art you three speak of, but i did see that the name you chose was said to be the teacher of Dok Lee. talk about arrogance.
Were i you, and as you do, felt compelled to honour one of these two men, i would (by my judgement) pay heed to the words of Bill, he seems intelligent, and humble (at least comparative to the ewok)
one last suggestion, get of your glute's and visit some schools, see which preach values you identify with, that teach in a manner that apeals to you....remember my friend, its you, not I that seeks tuition online.

P.S unlike your friend, i CAN and am happy to explain my credentials, which CAN be varified. Although i am dropping to your level of arrogance by saying so, i was once elite, competing in the World Championship (Kubota world cup) a teacher of shaolin Kung fu (dragon Tiger clan) and Fudoshin Bujutsu, the way of the immovable mind.
A true martial artist has more to say about his history then "i am the oldest and highest ranked" with no person, or martial arts bodies to backup his words. I think Doc Bill said something to this effect also.
Wake up, think for yourself, and stop trying to study an art that cannot be learnt without getting off your a$$.
You're a sheep Joe, and more importantly, an ignorant judgemental one. Before condeming me, or praising Eawood, or anyone else, you should learn more about their knowledge, expertise, and rank,
fare well G.I Joe ,I'm sure you will one day be just like ewok
old....as well as ignorant and arrogant

vex as in vexation? a name that speaks of one who purpose is to be bad to people, hummm i wonder why you choose that name?

there is a thing called cut and paste, often it is under the edit menu, to do so you would not get people's log in identity wrong. but since you obviously choose to belittle me, by calling me a name of a small creature from star wars everyone can see you are not for real. you do not have respect toward your betters, or your elders. if you had been in martial arts a long time you would fear showing disrespect. you would not be such as try to cause problems. dr.bill is just a person who differs in opinion from me, but he is a great martial artist, legendary in his training of middle level martial artists (each of his students have a few black belt levels or are handicapped). Dr.bill does not know me, and dr.bill did not know anyone else trained in kuta or that anyone else taught kuta but dok lee. dr.bill is the oldest living dok lee student i believe, and deserves respect. that i have trained in kuta before dr.bill, and managed to barely defeat dok lee once many years ago does not take away from dok lee's legend.

vex, a person who IS the highest ranked martial artist in the world should be able to say it without you or your humble teachers being offended. are they offended that anyone anywhere is higher ranked than them? are they offended at the people who trained them being higher ranked than them? if they or you are offended that you are lower rank than your teachers you are silly. you do not know me, and cannot know if i am telling you the truth, just be satisfied that you do not know. you do not need to know everything. why or when did you decide you would know everything? what caused such trama that you seek complete enlightenment? how long will it take you to learn everything? will you forget any of it before you finish and start over?

okay you don't me, but presume upon my character traits, humm sounds like baloney to me. if you were the lowest ranked martial artist in the world would anyone believe you? one minute after you started your first lesson? you seem to be hung up over a certain rank. it is a small thing to be any rank, even the best. i hope to someday add atleast three more ranks (but currently no one in the world has those ranks, and no one has had those ranks in many years). it is always yourself you compete against. it is your advancement that matters. the first person who invented martial arts whenever that was was the highest ranked martial artist in the world, just a minute after they started martial arts, but that does not mean they were any better than a white belt, just that they happened to be the best.

i do know the real name of dok lee, he told me it, when we met, and i have proved it before in emails to al and savage. but i do not think telling everyone his real name on this discussion does anything.

pappy this web site has private email messages that no one else will see. you can send and get them once you turn them on. pappy i did not have the money to go to the "AL meet and greet". i tried to get it in time, but sadly a got a new position at a new location just a few days before it was to occur. i have too much of my money tied up in business. stupid of me i know. eventually i decided i did not want to be considered a student of AL , which i would have been considered if i attended the event.

i am sure vex's teachers are nice, and fine martial artists, but honestly every little martial arts system thinks it teachers are the best. they claim highest this and that in the world, and so on .. but the truth is those of us with many multiple awards of the highest rank in many multiple styles have a better claim to being the best. i hold 2 ranks that are highest in the world in that style, along with several high belts in almost every style i have ever heard about or seen. I do not lightly claim I am the highest ranked martial artist in the world, just that often people upon learning what my rank is have so commented. many martial arts do not even care what other styles award as a rank to anyone, because only their martial artists matter, and only their rank in their style matters. since so much of my life is secret, i have had this same discussion with a person who was 8 ranks below me in a style i was highest in the world in, but he did not know anyone had that rank. after he tried to hurt me and i did a move that he was aware existed, and the last highest ranked person before he died imparted as the test to get his rank only then did i explain again that i already had that rank, because i met the previous highest rank and used that move on him.

remember Jack is al's student, naturally jack is all for al. they all seem nice and proficient. al, jack, and certainly the legendary dr.bill.
i don't need respect. i function well in private without public applause.
remember no one who ever taught me got permission from anyone to do so.
if anything my training was frowned upon, and scorned even when i proved it.
i trained mostly in secret, mostly for survival, i never trained for fun. i never trained for sport. martial arts are so you don't have to fight.

i have heard a few grandmasters of their style who also claim to be the highest ranked martial artist in the world. most are in their 80,90s or older. no one questions their right to claim such a title. they are the highest ranked in their style, and they don't recognize any other styles as having any value, but that is their choice. i choose to belive all styles have value. i show respect to other great martial artists, but i also believe what i said. you can only choose to believe me or not. have a safe day. be well.

vex

oh great and grand master of this planet earth i bow down to you and beg your forgiveness. is that what you expect of me to say? i think not.
i'll adress you comments one by one. As for my name, vex, i can explain. Being vexed is a response to negative energy. It is my frustration, and vexation with the arrogance, and false superiority of people in this world that my name refers to. Thinking it is a goal of mine to'be bad to people' is an assumption of yours,and assuming anything is foolish.
As for fearing to disrespect, firstly, ido not respect a man due to fearing him. Respect should stem from admiration, not fear, and as yet, you have said nothing that gives me cause to admire, respect, or fear you for that matter.As for your repeated claims to be the highest ranked martial artist in the world, there is no such thing. As you yourself stated, ranks in different styles represent skills in different forms, thus cannot be compared directly.
Thats like a electrician claiming to be the greatest tradesman in the world, how can a electrician be compared to a plumber, or carpenter...they are different trades.
I would also like to add, if it were possible to be the highest ranked in all arts, one would have to spend a life time training, teaching, and contributing the culture of martial arts. IF you are as accomplished as you claim to be, you would know a rank of such high standing involves 'active contribution' to the culture. Meaning, teaching, refereeing, founding of, or being head of a reputed style. Doing this is an impossibility whilst remaining anonymous. So you contradict yourself, and your claims.
In short, you are clearly as self absorbed liar, and you are a disgrace to any honourbale martial artist. You should truelly be ashamed.
As for my masters, and their masters not being some of the greatest in the world. I'll have you know, my master trained directly under some of the founding fathers of martial arts. Such as (excuse my inccorect spelling) Jigoro Kano (Judo founder) Moei Ueshiba (founder of aikido)
He served in Japan, and other asian country's during the later years of world war 2, and has direct affiliation to schools and styles which are as highly regarded as any martial arts can possibly be.
I realise this only makes me 3rd generation, but the matter in question is not my expertise, but that of my master/s. Being directly trained by the men who founded the arts of which you claim to be a master of, undoubtedly gives me just cause to say he is 'amoung' the greatest. like i said, i have trained with 'some' of the greatest. I would not be so ARROGANT as to say they ARE the greatest, arrogance of that level is your forte.
As for my calling you an ewok....as i said, that was a little harsh, and beneath me. ( my wife found it amusing though )
You need to lighten up oh great one, you are not Pai Mai, actually.....you probably are! he too is a great and powerful master! (as well as completely fictional).
Get over yourself, even if you were the greatest and highest ranked, arguing in this manner is unbecoming of a master, and you cannot dispute that you bicker incessantly. grow up.

Vex Paradoks (if you would like to know my full nick (you gonna attack the word paradox now? and yes the mispell is deliberate)

pappy

What a treat to read your post, eawoodall! I was right afterall, I just didn't know I would see a proof so quick. I saw v.'s post and decided not to comment on it as it has all characteristics of a skilled internet troll. That technique might have worked few years ago but nowadays people can see thru it. First trying to antagonize, then attempting to corral the group to his liking..

My impression was exactly the same: he is not a martial artist.
There is no way any martial arts trainer would say things he said.

Pappy

vex

oh get off his lap joe! lol
you are truelly pathetic, no trainer would say the things i said?? ooooook, and have you tried to discredit my rank? or art? no, i have said before, i CALL and WILL show my credentials, just ask me to. do you do that? noooo, you'd rather believe a person who has a claim to greatness higher then any man alive, and no proof to back it up. i only claim to be one of many many thousands of martial artists, and my words are unbelievable???
you are a simpleton, nothing more.

vex

oh..by the way...if you are so sure i am not a martial artist, and your great and wondeful master is....heres a challenge, join me in a yahoo room, we can make one if you like, then lets test our knowledge levels.
i am a serious martial artist, and i only insult people like you because it offends me when pea brain arrogant morons make light of an art that WE accredited, and true martial artists love, and take seriously.
We spend thousands of hours bleeding, sweating, and working towards our goals...so when a person who has no proof, no factual knowledge, and no stomache to support his claims steps up to claim he is the greatest....well, excuse us taking offence,
you pea brain twits, youre like tweedle dumb and tweedle dumber.
actually...i just realised somthing, why do i get so offended by you people? you are clearly frauds.......you are'nt worth getting annoyed by.
You are'nt even worthy of a fly at a BBQ.
One last comment.....stop what you are doing....think...reflect.....you know you are a fraud, i know you are a fraud...the only person who believes in you is G.I Joe.....oh what a following you have great master!
you're a wanker

pappy

Vex, you may wish to consider taking anger management classes locally or I predict you will be doing time soon. That outburst of anger tells a lot about your martial arts skills and about your internet trolling expertise.

Face it: it is what it is: you do not have a rank. I am really glad I got you going this time. I'll try to be more gentle. Pappy

vex

lol nice work
I'll tip my hat when its due, you have pissed me off. only because my years of training areimportant to me, and someone saying i'm not a martial artist is an insult. as for doing time "allready done that"
in all seriousness, you need to realise that martial arts is a lot like religion to many of us, it fires up emotion to those who cherish it. Its kinda like someone claiming rank even above the pope. Catholics are by nature peacful people, but a claim like that would most certainly fire a few people up.
Another thing, if i were such an 'internet troll' whatever that means, would i get upset about martial arts subjects?
You need to realise, that though we are teachers, we are still human, and like all humans, we can get upset, and can be insulted. this isnt the movies, and martial artists are not all powerful and wise. we bleed like everyone else.
I notice you still are do not adress the subject of proof...why is it that only i am willing to back up my rank? perhaps im the only person in this discussion that has one?
I notice bill has gracefully excused himself from these shinanigans, like i said initially, if i were you, i'd pay heed to his words.
vex

P.S nice work pissin me off!

pappy you still need to turn on email so i can reply to you, i can read what you sent me, but i cannot reply without you changing your settings in askmehelpdesk.com


vex is so angry he isn't the highest ranked martial artist on the planet, he may explode? he may disintegrate. he may self destruct? i hope not, he is the funniest person i have seen on askmehelpdesk.com in a long time. it is soooo funny getting responce from him. he thinks such silly things. he really does.

aww vex is frustrated. aww, feel sorry for the little bird with the broken wing.

aww vex is afraid people know what his name means, see dictionary.com

vex does not know logic. regarding the 'highest ranked martial artist in the world' he does not know that there is such a thing, and here i am to prove it.
ha ha. i explained logically before there was any martial arts, there was no one highest in the world, then suddenly one day, poof, someone invented martial arts (long long ago), and they became the 'highest ranked martial artist in the world' bing, wow, oh ah. but of course they started small and so they may have only been equaivalent with a lowly white belt, but since no one else knew any martial arts, they were still the 'HRMAITW' , as time passed someone else learned martial arts, that either they had invented or someone invented, and so the title passed to someone else (HRMAITW). so goes history.

respect is about proper attitude. vex does not seem to have a respectful attitude, or an attitude of fear of even his own teachers, who can take away the belts they have bestowed in whatever arts you claim to have, by the way, vex. many teachers do take away belts for less than what you are doing here vex. those who do not respect should learn fear, because you are not gonna have any belt long in martial arts since you are disrespecting all martial arts. you said you don't know the martial art this series or discussion is about, so you have no clue how great or bad it is. all you have is your opinion about stuff you admit you know nothing about, hummm. sounds like you should learn humility, because the wise learn to fear what they cannot stop. you ultimately cannot influence people with your doubt, you can only strenthen their belief in me. the more you doubt the more they believe me. reality is not about what you think of reality, it is about what reality thinks of you. i hope you change to give reality a better chance to think well of you.

you see vex i already said i don't even want dr.bill bowing to me, so i certainly do not want you to bow to me. respect is not in a bow, it is in the heart, and can be shown through the words and attitude.

i did not say you had to fear me, i hinted that you should learn fear. fear is a good thing, it keeps you from playing on the freeway, not to run in front of traffic, not to hold your hand on a hot stove and burn yourself. fear. it is your friend. it is a great motivator. respect is easier, and nicer, but if you don't want to respect, you should learn fear. it is better to respect the cars on the freeway, it is better to respect a hot stove. it is better not to run in front of traffic. but you choose respect or fear, which will you have, because if you do not get one of the other you will not last long. danger is present in life sometimes, and most people to survive need one of the other.

to be the highest you do not need some of the things you think are needed. highest is not about teaching, especially because in most styles the highest rank NEVER teaches. only junior students teach. the highest does not have to teach. atleast actively. being in the room with the highest rank teachs. the HRMAITW does not tell you to practice a kata, but instead hurls you down the block, shows you completion of the technique, not the beginning. indeed my answers to you teach you more than most forms can teach. so learn well my words. and profit by them. perhaps i do teach, but not always.

you do not think i add to the culture? what? let's see i have several motion picures that involve martial arts, i have several hit songs, i have contributed on the educational level as well as academically. just some of my OTHER work, that surely you have seen, since such projects have grossed more than 4 billion dollars domestic. hummm does vex feel stupid now. only vex knows. i have trained and interacted with several members of martial arts hall of fame, as well as defeated them, because you see they also do not believe until i prove it to them. only a select few know me. only a few know i speak the truth. doubt me if you want vex, but do not be silly about it. i either told you the truth about all of it, or none of it. believe or not. your choice, really.

here i am not KNOWN by but a few, so maybe you are wrong vex. secretcy can be maitained, after all i hide in plain sight. i tell people the truth, and people like you help me to do so, by doubting the truth, it is great. really. thank you vex. the privacy law continues to do it's work. i do not have to prove who i am , nor can anyone require me to do so. i am safe. thanks.


respect should be common courtesy, you do not know what masters walk down the street unnoticed, unless you foolishly attack them.

i am sorry you do not know vex many of the mighty men of old (that you do not mention) that you obviously think are fictional are not, but were real men. yes the men who were real (that you talk about) that you realize were real were all great men, i have heard. i will not tell what ranks i hold in the styles that the real men that you mention were so accomplished. i will not tell you what i have done to promote such things, but you without knowing it are aware of many of my greatest acheivements. and you have surely noticed my works toward such things. rest well in the knowledge that my legend is not in any danger.

vex it is not good to make fun of people protected under laws that give people the right to be any orientation that they choose. it is not good for you to presume upon any one else sexual attitude, nor is it an action that is without courts punishing by taking funds or serving time for such flagrant attacks upon a person's character. you do not know what i do, prefer nor what pappy or anyone else does in private, and you should shut you mouth about such things since you can be removed from askmehelpdesk for offending people. i have never had a lap dance, nor do i expect to have one in the future from anyone. so do not go to war with me. you will lose. your masters should take away all your belts just for that. perhaps, no i will not go there, although i could, i do have some sway with such people, no I will wait, i will let you continue to stew in your own juices, i will wait for you to get yours. i will wait. deserve what happens to you? it could happen? i always hope for mercy. my hope is you change your mind, and apologize, to me, to this forum, to the people who are a different sexual oreintation than you, since you mention you have a wife, you are not 'that way' .

you now claim you accredited judo? or aikido? funny. sad to say you were not there when the martial art started, were you? how old are you again?
do you teach in japan? have you been offered to go teach in japan? have you ever been beaten up by anyone not in your style? perhaps their style is superior, maybe? ever? maybe they got lucky? strange i have not heard of the great vex in either aikido or judo. but since i am only a humble person who has personally defeated every person below the grandmaster in a style of aikido, and has personally defeated the highest ranked judoka, and thereby earned my ** dan rank in judo, as well as my open invitation to teach in japan in their aikido school, no. i think these things do not apply to you. but since my life is private, you can not confirm i am ** dan, nor can you confirm that i defeated aikido's best, but that does not change the truth. either everything i am saying is true or none of it.

fear me, or do not, but do not expect i care. such losers as yourself, who are junior students to me, as even dr.bill is a junior student to me (but dr.bill is not a loser), do not concern me. my abilites do not stop with martial arts.

on the face of it, there do exist people with higher ranks than the pope, and yes i am one of them, deal with the truth, or deny everything, enjoy. of course i will quote the bible again, let God be true and every man a liar. romans chapter 3. so take my words as being true or false, either way I have said what i have said. be safe. be well.

vex

Myyyyy lordddddddd,
This idiot has so gone beyond annoying, and transended into the rediculous. So now you claim to be a billionaire.....a religous figure of higher standing then the pope, and whatever other nonsese you claim. I've known people like you in past. They make up claims to knowledge and skill that they could not possibly have achieved, yet are so deluded that they believe even their own lies. I think you might seriously need psychological treatment.As for being angry that i am not the highest ranked in the world...get over yourself. You are the only person who believes such a position is possible. I am actually glad i have persued you into this amount of discussion, because you have made your lies apparent to any person who might read.
If you were truelly a martial artist, you would know a master would never claim to be the greatest, even if it might be possible that he is. You truelly do not have a clue what being humble truelly is. Also, greatness is subjective, its a matter of opinion. Like a model saying she is the most beutiful in the world, who too? to herself??? i think thats whats going on here, you are so in love with your own delusion, that sense and logic are gone from you.
So may i ask, whats it like being a 'billionaire' was it?? lol you are a pathetic liar. AHHHH also, may i ask, how is it that you are expert enough to answer legal questions in the crim forum of this site? oh let me guess, you are also head of some fictional world legal association? or the mentor of johhny cochrane??? thats right...you have many accomplishments...keep talking.
As for my masters taking away my ranks, lol dont make me laugh. If you truelly knew martial arts you would know the days of martial arts being so strict have long since passed (sadly so).
My masters would be insulted by this discussion, i have no doubt of that. They would roll their eyes at me for paying so much attention to an arrogant, liar, who clearly knows nothing of martial arts. They would expect me to be beyond that....perhaps would be right.
As for my 'insulting sexual orientations' You really have no sense of reality do you? cant you tell the difference between a metaphor? a joke? an insult? and a genuine comment? i said "get off his lap" lol and that means his your lap dancer??? wake up cup cake. Its a way of saying 'stop kissing up to him' damn, u might think im saying he tries to kiss you also now. you twit lol. It means, he follows you like a sheep, with no brain power of his own. Heres also another meaning, ever heard of St Nic, santa claus? children sit on his lap, believe in the great old man, and his ability to give them things? hold on......perhaps you're santa also! SAAAANTAA!
You also have no clue what it takes to contribute to the culture. You DO need to actively participate to be a master, its a fact. Every recognised master teaches. ALL OF THEM. Or they have grown too old to teach, after a life time of having taught. you claim to neither. You physically COULD NOT be a master you moron. You clearly have no idea what a true master is.
As for fictional masters, so is pai mai of kill bill fame a true master is he? let me guess, he taught you?? lol you're simply a joke, and you have gone sooo far beyond annoying me, i now laugh at you, and pity you
Oh, by the way, masters ......when they ramble on....theres meaning, and wisdom in their words...you my friend...JUST RAMBLE.
Again, you refuse to go toe to toe in a battle of knowldge with me, you claim to no specific rank, school, or knowledge. You do not have any reputable martial artist, or martila arts body to support your claims. You are actually a waste of breath woody boy.
Like i have said previously, you ARE a disgrace to all serious reputable martial artists. The only thing that brings me comfort, is that i can clearly see what YOU are, i know, as you do, that you are a FRAUD, i also know, that i am not. My only claim, is to have achieved a humble rank, taught, as do tens of thousands, and to have had great masters who are directly affiliated to the founders. These claims are reasonable, possible, and factual (supported by evidence)
You now, claim to be the greatest man walking, you're a millionaire, oh sorry BILLIONAIRE, a religious figure higher then the pope (jesus christ perhaps??)a god damn MOVIE STAR also i think (youre not worth reading a second time) and nobody knows who you are?????????????? lol you ****in ****head.
lol You are'nt even worthy of serious adress lol '****in ****head' is you..to a teeeeeeeeee! lol
I'm sooo damn amused by you now sunshine, you really make me laugh.
I think any intelligent person, martial arts practioner or not, can now read, and see with perfect clarity, that the only possible explaination for you, is that you are a lying fraud. and not even a good one. By the way, i love this line you wrote! its magic oh great one!
"i am sorry you do not know vex many of the mighty men of old (that you do not mention) that you obviously think are fictional are not, but were real men."
lol oh lord, lets study this for a second lol you are sorry.....that i DO NOT KNOW, many great men ...THAT I DO NOT MENTION (how can i mention someone i dont know anyway? next) that i think are fictional, (ummm if i dont know them....or mention them....how can i think they are fictional! lol you ****wit...ummm yes, whats next, 'but they were real' oooooooooook
You make perfect sense sony jim lol you are and i trust will always be..A RAMBLING...TWIT
Until we speak again, oh great master of martial arts, mr. money bags, Your worship of granduer greater then the pope, Mr hollywood Film star, and whatever other boooooool**** you can think of ! lol u twit.


Oh! OH! by the way...pappy!! tell me buddy!!?? do you still believe this clown???? lol or are you embarassed at all that you were so trusting? dont kick yourself my friend lol Liars like this doofus are a dime a dozen. Just take such grand claims with a grain of salt in future i like ya though, you're innocence, and trust in people is precious awww lol
