imposing African buffalo in the style of Vang Gogh
The mighty African Buffalo, converts grass into shit. Isn’t a vegan because there are lots of insects in that grass (but then vegans aren’t actually vegan for the same reasons) image by author.

Your Kung-fu is BULLSHIT!

What happens when you cross a vegan with a hairy-chested martial artist?

The last article I wrote was not meant to be provocative but it seemed to provoke reactions from certain martial arts readers. This is a reply. Non-martial readers, enjoy. I’ve included some explanations of terminology at the bottom.

“Bullshit” sorry “BULLSHIT” “Sad” “delusional” and “disturbing” were some of the critiques.

It reminded me of vegans.

You know the kind who get all riled because you don’t eat like them. If you’re in the right mood there’s not much more fun than ribbing vegans.

But the vegans are getting a rest today. It’s time to tweak some chest hair.

Don’t worry lads — read this in the spirit of martial practice. Can you keep your cool?

Where to start? With the mirror.

Is martial effectiveness the top of your internal art practice priorities?

Really?
