Return of the Naruto Community Derail Thread: Part Two!

Note to self: watching Tokyo Drift when you have nothing else to do is a horrible idea. Movie is full shit territory.

When has Fast And The Furious ever been a good idea?

Bakemonogatari is getting weird again. It seems inevitable that whenever a primary school girl shows up in anime some uncomfortable exchanges are about to go down.

Ah yes, that. That... happens. I won't even try to defend it.

Thankfully not all of Bakemonogatari is this... questionable.

At least the anime has Senjougahara who's cool.

Don't worry, she's really twenty years old so it's ok.

I don't think it is.

It helps that she's a ghost and no one else can see her, it's super ok.

Irony are you suggesting that it's alright to molest girls, provided that nobody sees it?

Think carefully before answering, you are on thin ice.

Only if they're already dead.

*gasp* Vitalism! Undead yes, unperson no!

Well, my work is done. Nothing I could say that would make that line look worse.

Then my work is done too.

Off to molest some dead girls?

Excellent, horrible work, both of you.

Well. That escalated.

I already said that my work was done.

Hey, no infighting. I'm sure both of you guys are outboxers.

Turns out that's pretty much how I do box.

I'm a grappler, but yeah, if I ever learn boxing that would be my style as well.

Infighting is a bit of Awesome, but Impractical.

Although, if someone does charge at me and it's just straight boxing, I usually get cleaned right the fuck up.

Didn't you say you are a TKD practitioner? You don't get much practice in boxing, do you?

Yeah, TKD's got a lot of kicks and steps which don't translate well into only using hands as someone charges you, so when we do box everyone uses nearly the same style which ends up cycling hit and run punches on both sides. We're usually too quick so committing to anything big gets you snotted with a jab and unable to hit back cause the other guy's already retreated.

The thing that baffles me is that, at least where I learned, despite being a striking martial arts it didn't teach me to guard my face. On the other hand,when I tried boxing for a short time, it was pretty much the first thing I learned.

Good thing our instructors promoted guarding your head from the start even though it never really came into play until you were a black belt and you were allowed to more properly aim for the other persons face a bit while doing regular sparring.

It has been years since I practiced it, so remind me; are you allowed to punch someone in the face during sparring?
