"I prefer out of all the arts, anything to do with Kung Fu...Karate...I gained a loathing of.
There is much more grace in Kung Fu than Karate, to me, Karate is a breaking and brutal style. "
I couldnt help bringing this old old post back... Kung fu and Karate has only one thing to do in common with each other and that is a form of pain induction... Kung Fu originates in china. Karate originates in Japan. Most likely the origin specifically is the Okinawan islands where the Okinawan Karate is considered to have branched to form the schools that exists today. The theory behind the creation of each martial "method" (I never call a form of killing an art) is castly different and therefore is _perceived_ differently. As stated earlier Kung Fu is developed by imitating the natural postures and movements of nature. Words such as grace and style is a human rhetoric. Nature has analog and fluid movements. Therefore anything imitating nature would do the same. Karate on the other hand is based upon practicality. Since this board should be familiar with the ethos and methods of Tetragrammaton Clerics. practicality is carried out through efficient movements and and techniques that creates a maximum effect with the smallest amount of "thought". The basic maneuvers of a punch and kick is a primal movement that creates karate. With katas that maximise the efficiency of of kicks and punches the probability of these attacks connecting rises and the proper movements by these katas are formed upon movements that over the analysis of thousands of fights the maximum efficiency of an attack with the position formed by the minimum possibility of recieving an attack. Sound familiar? Without the technicalities of the Gun Katas I think most people can agree it sounds like many simple basis for martial methods.

Technically, everything that can be trained and brought to perfection can be an art, everything from painting, composing music to fighting.

Hello, all.
I have been reading some of your ideas. The Airsoft one seems to be about the most feasible. There are a lot of police departments that are using Airsoft as a low cost training tool to simulate force on force scenarios. There are Airsoft paintball munitions available, but the availability of these is somewhat limited in some areas.
I do love the idea of making the gun Kata a reality. I am currently serving in the US Army and have a reasonable amount of experience involving firearms and marksmanship. As far as the practical application and accuracy, I should think that it would boil down to a practice called point shooting and reflexive fire techniques. If you are interested in either of these topics, some good reads are those from Colonel Rex Applegate, Jeff Cooper, and the book 'Bull's Eyes Don't Shoot Back', among others. There are also several excellent shooting materials available from various training agencies, such as Magpul Dynamics, Gunsite Academy, and Paladin Press just to name a few. Now, while these institutions focus on primarily traditional methods of utilizing firearms, the quality and quantity of the information available is excellent. Like a very wise man once said to me, 'Never stop learning.' Another very wise man also said, 'There's no one way to do anything.'
In regards to firearms, the Beretta 92 series and the Glock are excellent choices. Reliability and capacity for either model are outstanding. However, it all comes down to personal preference. I am a big fan of the Springfield Armory XD series. I currently have one and to date have put almost 5,000 rounds of ammunition of various brands through it with only one malfunction. That's pretty solid no matter how you slice it up. Personally, I find that the Beretta and Glock don't fit my hand as well. I have been genetically predisposed with what I call 'little girl hands', and the XD just feels right.
The biggest thing to remember is that the operative word in gunfight is 'fight'. While the pursuit of martial arts and combat arts to further enhance your personal well-being is admirable, the mental focus to survive any violent encounter must become ingrained. The most important thing to remember, while this pursuit may be fun, you must be able to defend yourself whenever the need arises. Also, you must always take into account you surroundings. Remember the rule regarding firearms: 1) Treat all firearms as if the were loaded. 2) Never point your weapon at anything you do not intend to destroy. 3) Keep your finger straight and off the trigger until your sights are on target. 4) Be sure of your target.
Finally, I am assigned to the 25th Infantry Division, 'Tropic Lightning', out of Schofield Barracks, HI. If anyone is close by, I would love to get together and discuss any ideas you have.
