chinese army learns a combination of sanshou, northern chinese wrestling, probably SOME elements of wushu. not sure really since they are secretive about it- you can look up what taiwanese swat and special forces use here on youtube- i am sure Chinese don’t use anything that much different.

you say its all show and its not applicable in real world combat?..then what do you call the fighting art the chinese army uses?….
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 7:35 am
well the arts of those times and what they have now are quiet different it wasn’t about flipping around and flying through the air it was about protecting yourself..or others from attack..

kinda reminds me what happen to Valerian..since he was used as a footstool then killed and stuffed with straw and dung…..shapur wasnt playing was he?…

I was told he wanted to match the success of both Caesar and Pompei during their reign that was known as the triumviat,
so he wanted to have his own success in Parthia,
and I even think it was molten gold that was poored down his throat,
but I might be wrong

Yes, Zen is a form of buddhism (Zen Buddhism). It is a branch of buddhism that focuses on meditation being the way to enlightenment. It is not against the teachings of Siddhartha Guatama (Buddha) at all.

And, the idea that Zen means rejecting Buddhism is scandalous. Zen is a school of Buddhism, it IS Buddhism, it does not reject the teaching of Gautama Buddha and, finaly, meditation was introduced by Buddha in the first place- he was enlightened while meditating.
Sorry, I just thought that this ought to be brought up.

Oh, my, this story is so full of incorrect details and the whole concept so sadly oriented towards sensationalism- this is a nobile virtue, not a street-fight.
“They did NOT know a 100 ways to kill a man”, the aim was protection, no one was taught to kill- as in every martial art, it is always important to try to not kill.
The little boy is not beging to be admitted but rather bowing, it’s a traditional expression of respect, not fear.

its must have been very bad indeed living in those times…no pubic services….the risk of being enslaved or killed at a moments notice…well i guess that depends on where you live…or then again maybe not….

i remember writings speaking that his net worth was equal to the entire roman treasury…but then again that could be just that….writings…

Not sure how his wealth would compare to modern billionaires, one has to remember that this was a time before industrialization and capitalism, so the gap between rich and poor was much larger and there were very few rich people, most of the people in the ancient world would have been extremely poor especially in less developed cultures such as the Germans and Sarmatians which also lacked public services.

but yeah your right about crassus it is said that no one else in history has been able to match let alone get close to the amount of money he had….

wouldnt you say thats a ironic end to someone that was so wealthy?….and i thought it was pompey who defeated spartacus?….
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 1:25 pm
@LordAzanko March Anthony was planning to invade Parthia during his time with Cleopatra in Egypt before Battle of Actium.
The battle of carrhae in which Crassus was ambushed and killed occurred several decades earlier during the same period where Caesar was conducting the Gallic war. Crassus was also the general who defeated Spartacus, and was purported to be the richest man in Rome, its said the Parthians poured molten silver down his throat when they killed him..

didnt marc anthony started hostilities against parthia?…and then that whole thing with crassus losing those legions at Carrhae…

To say the least, the Seleucids and Ptolemies killing each other while Parthia and Pontos expanded their territory at the expense of both. Rome might have had a lot more trouble in the east if not for the war between Macedonia and Greece.

i would like to but i would be lieing if i said i did….
i just couldnt get into the movie…..i get the symbolism…but still not my cup of tea….i will give you this much though….good score,good action….and thats about it….everything else….no..
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 4:06 pm
yea thay did overdo some effects, xerxes being tall with laryngitis and all of spartans having 6-pack, but its just a lot of symbolic stuff. u get it all, just admit u like the movie =)
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 4:50 pm
i dont really think stylized gymnastics would do much to stop pissed off chinese warlords or huns….if that was the case then the shaolin temple would have been burned down 2 hours after being set up…..
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 5:42 pm
well with the wars of the diadochi they kinda were a bit shortsighted….
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 6:24 pm
i do….its just i didnt like 300… granted it had good action scenes…but overall plotwise it was pretty weak….and i know most folks mainly watch it for the action granted but for me it just didnt have much of a affect on me..they kinda overdid it with xerxes a giant 10 foot tall drag queen with a bad case of Laryngitis…but i guess not everyone can agree all all things….
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 6:32 pm
good, so u know others entered battle with less than speedo and helmet. i liked 300. oh come on, only iranians dont like it =)
