Yep, but only if they are used by an unfit mind, hence the post you quoted. 131
As for this Batman thing, to have what you need, you'd have to buy all of the necessary armor, weapons, and you'd have to test EVERYTHING first. There could also be no open peice where the mouth it, you'd have to have some incredible armor, and even most armor isn't bullet proof at close range so you can make one wrong move and you're dead. I wish we could have superheroes, though....the world have had plenty of supervillains.

A) An apostrophe is for omission or possession- there should be no apostrophe in 'ninjas' in that context (plural), only if you are saying 'ninja is' or '...of the ninja'.
B) Pronunciation isn't relevant when writing. It's how you say something.

Thats what I meant. But you get it across better than I.

Oh, I'm such a bigot. 🙄Look, when you stop thinking a Batman could take on 20+ ninjas, then come talk to me. 😄 😉
If he's a Ninja himself, he could, but he'd have to be more experienced.
Before, however, I were referring to Samurai.
It would be nice if you'd properly read ones posts instead of acting as if your some hard ass.

I confuse myself....but what I mean is that a guy can't take out 20 people at once. I got everything a little confused but 20 guys being taken down by one man if they all fight him at once? Not gonna happen.
Your not a "Gangsta" are you?
That would explain why your so incredibly DUMB.
I give up, it's pointless talking to you.

If you read what I wrote, I did not say you mentioned anything about Ninja. I was giving a further example of how fiction stretches the truth. Anyone with an iota of logic could derive that from the post.
As for the spelling, yes ...it was wrong. Happens when people are typing. That does not take away the truth in the statement.

First of all, I know you have never tried learning Karate in your life, because you are infact taught on how to take three individuals at once. You have to move quickly in a zig-zag-like pattern, smash one individual to your right with your right forearm, repeat on the opponent to the left with your left forearm, and then smash your knee into the face of the opponent infront of you. It doesn't take luck, it takes skill and precise planning.
Actually the first martial art I took (before I realized there were better approaches) was Shotokan Karate, which I took to Ni-Dan level (second degree Black Belt).
Also, the fact that you are claiming about using 'zig-zag' patterns to take 3 individuals at once shows you are probably the product of one of those mall Karate schools I was talking about. All martial arts try to show what to do IN CASE you are attacked by more than one person, but HONEST teachers will instill in you the fact that it is not a prudent course of action, and your chances of winning are nil.
I actually showed someone your post ....how you talk of zig-zag patterns and smashing knees while lashing out with forearms. That is typical mall-Karate school thinking ....you always imagine that people will COOPERATE with you!
In a REAL fight (instead of a scripted belt-grading move, or even dojo Kumite) people tend to not do or stand where you want them to. As i said, i know some people who have handled themselves well in a multiple fight, and even they said that they may not be able to replicate those results .
You also talked of precisely planned!!!!! In a street fight!!!! You must be from a mall-rat Karate school.

Secondly, no, not everybody can lean on a Spear and bend it. You have to condition your body through years of practice. If I went along and tried to bend a Spear with my torso it would go straight through
Again, a lot of the 'chi gung' feats are tricks. The spears used are made of spring steel (similar to the 'wushu swords' a lot of the wushu exponents use in shows ....they are spring steel and that is why, if you watch a sword performance at a wushu convention, you will realize that the sword bends).
If you took a REAL spear (say a Zulu Assegai) and tried that, you will die.
However, the spears used for those 'feats' can be bent using leverage. I've seen someone do it, and he was no 'guru' (Actually, there is a show that comes on the Discovery channel on 2 guys who go around the world learning martial arts. It is known as Human Weapon. One of the guys actually did that, and also bent an 'iron rod' around himself, and broke some bricks. He was surprised at how easy it was to do).

Samurai aren't superhuman, but the majority were Masters when it came to weapondry. Their real job was that of a Servant, and on the battlefield, a Warrior.
You have read too much stylized imagery on the Samurai. Servants? That is hilarious.
While they may have claimed to follow bushido and stick to the writings of the hagakure (and follow what i mentioned on Giri), many Samurai were not the spotless saints/servants you make them to be.
As I said, one of the Samurai arts was how to tie up women.

A lone Samurai, also, within around 17 minutes, likely could beat up and/or kill 20 street thugs. Hell, I know some Karate teachers who could do similar things. Not taking out 20 people, but taking out atleast 6.
Since you were accusing me of never taking Karate (hilarious since you don't know me), I assume you know some Karate teachers (you also mention that above).
Go ask one if he can beat up 20 people ....or take out 6 people. I am not saying assume he can ....I am saying ASK him. And not kids .....actual thugs who want to do him harm. Don't even ask for 20 men ....ask him if he can take out 6 thugs who are out to beat him up and are NOT co-operating with whatever zig-zag pattern you claim you were taught.
One of the people I know who beat up 3 people was an Army Karate instructor (real Karate, not the stupid mall stuff taught in America that gives black belts to 7th grade students ....I believe his style was Okinawa Goju-ryu). He got jumped by 3 thugs, and managed to fight his way out. While he won the fight, he was also seriously beaten up. When guys are coming at you from all sides, and they are not waiting until you finish with one before the next moves in, and you are fighting at night with low lighting and wet ground (where a slip means you get stomped on) , and worse still you are fighting in a CONFINED space.....then you realized that sanitized 'zig-zag' moves will only get you killed.

Krav Maga is another Art in which your taught how to take 10 people on from different directions, during a short period of time.
You are just plain silly!
I also take Krav Maga (currently) and am at 4 level. We are taught a number of things, and multiple opponents is one of them.
One of the things we are constantly taught is that fighting multiple opponents is a mix of skill and luck, with luck playing a very important role.
In our drills (similar to those of Kajukenbo), one student is surrounded by other students and told to defend himself. Everyone is going at HALF speed.
The teacher has one of the 'attackers' have a plastic knife, and the person defending NEVER sees that attack. Even when they know that one of the 'attackers' has a knife, they never see it until they have been stabbed.
The reason is to show that in a real fight anything can happen. It is to make us realize that the real world is not as sanitized as a Karate dojo or Taekwondo dojang. Most people stabbed with knives do not even know the other guy has a knife, yet in most Karate dojos knife training starts with the 'attacker' brandishing his knife like it was some movie. On the street most victims do not even know the other guy has a knife.
Anyways, I DO Krav Maga ....and no REAL teacher will say they will teach you how to take down 10 men .....unless he is giving you a MP-5 submachine gun!

I've realised you don't know much about MA. Your just picking things up off of the internet.
Actually that is the same thing I think about you.
You talk about Karate masters who can take down at least 6 people (Shotokan was my first art, and that is BS), you talk about Krav Maga teaching to take out 10 people (4 level KM, again ....that is BS), you talk about the greatest role of the Samurai being that of a servant (once again ....you've either been reading too much Hagakure, or watching to many Samurai movies) ....and then you talk about zig-zag patterns that you will use to 'smash one individual to your right with your right forearm, repeat on the opponent to the left with your left forearm, and then smash your knee into the face of the opponent infront of you. It doesn't take luck, it takes skill and precise planning.'
Goodness, that will get you killed.
You talk about 'precise planning.' That will work when you are getting a belt grade (and everyone has a scripted way of attacking you), but in the street you will not even know you are being attacked until it has began. Real thugs do not telegraph. While you are 'smashing one individual to the right' the one to your back is moving in for a kidney stab with a rusty knife!
From how you write it seems you have done some martial arts ....but I would put you down as another mall-rat Dojo student who has no clue about a real fight (and no, school yard fights are not real fights). However i can guarantee you this ....if you go to a seedy part of town and try your 'precisely planned zig-zag movements,' you will either die or be seriously hurt.
Actually I challenge you to go show this post to your Karate teacher. I know that whatever he tells you you can come back here and lie, but at least he will tell YOU the truth. If he is worth his salt, he will probably smile and tell you that what you were saying was pure unadulterated BS, and that even he cannot beat down 6 grown men who are not co-operating.
I'm not from America, and I'm happy I'm not, so I've never been to what ever a "mall school" is.
And I didn't say the "zig-zag" approach was a whole fighting approach, so stop ****ing acting like I did. It was a technique. I don't need this crap from you when I know what I was taught, in a gym of 40+ students.
And the whole "zig-zag" attack [forgotten it's proper name] would be used if the opponents actually were in those positions, duh. Of course it's very dangerous, it's a street fight.
I'm thinking of taking up Krav Maga. It looks very interesting.
Taking down 10 people. It's not ALL at once, it's one at a time but as soon as you defeat one opponent it's straight on to fight the next without a rest. Why people always assume people can just spin around and name everybody in 10 seconds is beyond me. This isn't Batman.
Also, I quit Karate. I didn't enjoy it so I quit. This is why I plan on maybe going with Krav Maga or maybe Mua Tai KB.
Now. Don't expect me to reply to anymore of your posts. I've been in debates all weak on this bored and it's taking it's toll.
