It's not. Hence the thread is closed.

Hello! Recently I've passed a Scholar test and joined ARMA with help of members of ARMA-Poland (Thanks Maciej Talaga and Maciej Zajac!) and forming a group in Moscow, Russia right now. I've found that John Clements recently visited St. Petersburg and further events in Russia are announced, so basic...

Thanks for taking the time to post this. I am very interested in what they are doing. I have not yet looked into grouped armed conflict from this period and am not even sure how much historical material there is on the subject. It has me thinking about the blossfechten I am currently studying and h...

I've just registered for the forum and plan to start training in the ARMA method and I want to see if there is anyone else near Buffalo, Wyoming who trains around here. I already travel 30 miles to train MJER and I'm willing to travel a bit to train ARMA too. Please sign in and register with your f...

Peter - although Gladiators were highly trained and in very good condition, they were not soldiers. As you said, they were to put on a show, albeit a possibly fatal one. The Romans wanted a good game and in many cases, the Gladiators' equipment and weapons were not based on any military character. A...

Well, in one of the scene when Titus Pullo was fighting Lucius Vorenus ( not the gladiatorial fight scene), Vorenus held Pullo's neck and started to knee him like typical Muay Thai. I don't think anybody knows for certain how the Roman fought, but I brought that up because it looked a lot like it. ...

What are the different types of swords and the styles associated with them? I know there are probably hundreds, if not thousands if one were to be specific. I am more interested in dividing the swords into general categories designated by features such as length, two handed or one handed, thrusting...

On the HBO miniseries "Rome", during the gladiatorial fight scene, it looks more like Thai martial art, not Roman or other European. i'm not sure why they use it. Sripol - on what basis do you make this rather outrageous claim? Were the actors using Thai weapons? Were they using Muay Thay...

Everyone can just knock it off or this thread will be locked. If anyone is "offended" by ARMA selected for WoMAU, go to South Korea and take it up there or go the UN and file a complaint (and good luck with THAT route).

Any more nonsense and the thread is locked. Period.

Even in the most brutal striking art, like Muay Thai, they do have a lot of wrestling, like breaking someone's back and arms in half. I guess a good MA make use of both. A lot of people don't realize that if you strike someone right, you can easily crush someone's face and kill him. It's been known...

It looks very good! I wonder if people were still practicing other martial arts in Europe, how will fare against the Portugese version and also other hard martial arts like Krabi Krabong. It'd be interesting to see.... Well, considering the Spanish and Portuguese conquered half the world, with the ...

With this the teller of the story, a man lying in the bed next to mine in a hospital, concluded, saying, "That is all. The soldier and I became great friends. We walked together as far as the Kara region. He was a kndly fellow, experienced, and a typical tramp. I had a great respect for him. W...

Well, I think if you are going to fight, you might as well beat the crap out of them.... It's like a box of chocolate when you piss people off.... You never know what you're gunna get. Pissing people off like that, especially thugs and violent criminals, is like playing with the hornet nest. If you...
