Ethan, points are being deducted from your account. So what sort of gung fu do you bring to the table if you don't know a little MMA? I mean you are Asian....
I took a Tai Chi gym class in University of Maryland. I also had a nunchuk that was wrapped in foam that I swing around with. Hmm... I think that's about it.

From the knee in stomach position, wait till they hook one leg and manuever that leg under the head, then slide forward stick that ankle in leg and give it a little squeeze... If you angle it right you put pressure on the chest and force the air out without letting any back in..

To easy..

I got some crazy moves I learned from karate kid, would that be better than a triangle choke? I mean, it's hard to imagine a choke being more affective than a hurricane kick or a ryuken upper-cut.

I see.. perhaps you are correct. But, you would have to get a late 70's early 80's haircut and frop to compliment those kinda moves man...

I guess that's why they made Elevator Shoes/sneakers, most short male celebrities wear them, got a hidden height increaser in the shoe but from the outside you can't tell, they even got height increasing insoles. LOL

I mean that's fine with me. Women wear heels too so it's just fair and square. That's just about the "appearance". What annoys me is when guys actually lie about their height which to me sounds like a self-esteem issue.

So kinda like I don't mind girls wearing padding under their bra. But just don't lie about it when I ask for your cup size! Cuz it'll all show in bed!

Sorry to be an @ss. But this is a classical example. How old are you now? Most of us know that guys don't really grow taller after 17, 18. So in reality you know you're 5'11" or about 5'11" not about 6'. By saying you're about 6' makes you more closer to the "ideal American man" type. This is clearly my opinion but I really do believe it's somewhat true. You might not be doing it intentionally. But your subconsciousness is doing it for you.

Few years ago I was 16..

Sorry to be an *** back but if you get riled about about me claiming im 1" taller (which I bet if I measured myself I would be 6') than I am, then you are insecure sir.

Dude don't get so butt hurt so soon. Think about what I was actually saying first. Like I said it's something that we do subconsciously. I'm sure I do a lot of things subconsciously that are influenced by my culture or people around me. I started off this topic because I feel like I am looking at it as a 3rd person point of view and I am pointing out something that people are doing. You don't choose what influence your day-to-day decision. By no mean I was calling you insecure. And I really don't understand how I could be considered insecure by voicing out an observation? If I say my ***** is 8" when it's really 7", then yea I might be insecure.
