How Porsche disarmed Big...

...and almost got away with it.

Some great discourse got me revved up about the fight choreography so far in KinnPorsche, so guess what? META TIME.

We know Porsche is a Taekwondo champion, though from what has been shown so far, he's generally NOT leading with his Taekwondo skills but rather with his street fighting skills. I say this as someone who has practiced Taekwondo. It's there, and I can see it in certain moments, but it's like it's buried in boxing and brawling moves.

I saw one especially big exception. Or should I say, exception for Big? (Haha. Get it?)

Credit and thank you to @moerusai for those sweet gif skills!

This is gorgeous. Just gorgeous. I've gushed to my KP friends about this, and now I'll just gush to Tumblr at large.

It's basically Hapkido, a self-defense art. The focus is on neutralization through a series of short, skillful movements. It is not offensive. It's a Korean martial art, like Taekwondo. I learned a set of Hapkido movements right along with Taekwondo when I practiced, and it would be completely normal for Porsche to also have learned as part of his practice.

So, what the heck just happened?

1. Block

Porsche first blocks with his left hand and grabs Big's wrist. Grabbing the wrist here is essential rather than just knocking it out of the way. None of the rest of his actions would have worked if he'd simply knocked the hand away.

2. Redirect Opponent

Think Porsche tried to punch Big here? Nope, not in the slightest.

See how far off the punch is? That's not because the actors were playing it safe... that's because Porsche isn't trying to hit Big. Porsche is separating his opponent from his weapon. While punching, Porsche maintains control over Big's right wrist.

Big is now on the defensive, and (critically) Porsche is interfering with Big's line of sight to his own weapon.

3. Step In

Porsche steps inside Big's guard, curling Big's right arm around himself.

Look at Porsche's eyes. What's he looking at? THE GUN. His focus is on the gun. Good job, Porsche, A+.

4. Disarm

Looking a bit risky here to me (if Big still had his finger on the trigger, this could be Bad), but fortunately Porsche already has almost complete control of the gun as well as leverage to pry it away (his left and right hands in a great position for prying), and Big has no line of sight to what's happening with the weapon.

Note that Porsche's right hand grabs the barrel of the gun from above. This would allow him to rotate the gun upwards, putting pressure along the weakest gripping fingers first (pinky and ring fingers) if Big still had a grip, which he doesn't.

Thus, Porsche does some thievery. Good job again, Porsche!

5. Escape

Porsche breaks away. Big is annoyed to say the least.

6. Where are you kicking, Big?

O.O!

7. Surrender

It was a good run for 3 whole seconds, Porsche, but ultimately you're still screwed. Big has a second gun and lots of backup, and not even you can disarm numerous men from a prone position.

~~~

In conclusion, I really fucking love the fight choreography so far. I would love to see Porsche evolve over the course of the season and maybe see more of his Taekwondo start to shine through the brawler moves.

On the Spirituality of Martial Arts

The spirituality of martial arts (Budo) is not an obvious thing. No amount of outfits, other accoutrement, or religiously adjacent cultural customs can elucidate (let alone comprise) the actual heart of training.

Contemporary definitions define spirituality as that which concerns “the nonphysical part of a person which is the seat of emotions and character,” with etymology uncovering the nature of spirit as “breath,” that essential yet often overlooked exchange of life giving gasses between our environment and innermost being.

In East Asia, the etymology of the word spirit (神) pertains to lightening, and the seemingly spontaneous manifestation of raw, overwhelming power in nature. The ancients saw lightening as coming strictly from the sky. Contemporarily we understand the visible force of lightening to come from the ground up. In reality, it’s both.

Budo is simultaneously an outwardly recognizable physical discipline and more subtly internal set of commitments and challenges. It is something learned from the outside in, but truly manifest only from the inside out. This meeting place between interior and exterior, between mental and physical is where the spirituality of martial arts abides.

Beginning with the common grappling between bodily compliance with the obscure physical demands of the arts (and the competition for attention and motivation with myriad other forces vying for our time) the spiritual path of Budo has its genesis as mere discipline, and its truest revelation in the spontaneous inseparability between technique and the dispositions, commitments, and activities of everyday life.

Budo is a pursuit that comes to occupy and possess one’s mind as much as one’s mind, when peeled back to its essence, comes to occupy and define Budo. In this, Budo is not simply a practice of combat or military tactics, but rather an orientation toward life that elicits awareness, acceptance, and harmonious accord with reality as it is. For this reason, aphorisms such as “Ken Zen Ichi Nyo” (拳禪一如) have come into being - “the fist and Zen are one.”

Conflict and peace are in constant relationship, seemingly a dichotomy until their dynamic tension is realized as a fundamental unitary nature. Life and death, and indeed all supposed opposites are also like this. Budo is a ground of intentionality where this fundamental unitary nature can be perceived and proactively engaged, with conscious attention and agency. What could be more spiritual, lest we confuse the constructs of belief and creed with true matters of spirit?

if you get this, answer w/ three random facts about yourself and send it to the last seven blogs in your notifs. anon or not, doesn’t matter, let’s get to know the person behind the blog!

1) My sister and I look so alike that I actually answer to her name without even noticing people got it wrong most of the time. This is especially hilarious when people who don't even know I *have* a sister do it (I apparently just have a <her name> vibe of some sort).

2) I'm a certified instructor in two branches of my martial art discipline.

3) My very first comic book (I was three-but-ALMOST-four when I talked my Dad into buying me the first two collections) contains VERY BLATANT LGBTQ+ relationships and characters, discussion of consent and revoked consent, long-lasting or complex grief, suicide by proxy, ethnic cleansing and racism (both from outside groups and inside their own species), sex positivity, violence, torture, and different ways of facing one's mortality. Dad used to read it to us as a bedtime story, so I can confirm that none of these topics are things children are "too young" for if supported by compassionate adults who engage with delicate conversations and encourage kindness and curiosity. It was also published in the 70's.

The Evolution of the Shaolin Martial Arts!

The History of the Shaolin Martial Arts Most people say the Martial Arts came from the Shaolin Temple. Undoubtededly, the Shaolin Temple is a big influencer. But, my own theory is slightly different. Originally I wrote a short column about ‘Og and Bog.’ Og steals Bog’s apples by conking him on the head, Bog imagines a defense for getting conked on the head, and we have a technique and the birth…

Bukkyo, Budo, and Shugyo

True spirituality (bukkyo), like true martial arts (budo), brings us face to face with the realities of life, and chiefly, with its limitations. In intentionally confronting mortality, suffering, violence, pain, and unknowing we can realize the confidence to actually enter into the streams of our lives already in progress, unburdened with the weight of fearing the unknown (consciously or otherwise) which keeps us so readily anchored to a half-life of ignorance, reservation, and even reckless attempts to break free from our molds.

As these fundamental matters are broached, and the ambiguity of their relationship to our being is resolved, through ongoing training in the midst of our daily life (shugyo) we can come to authentically entertain the nuances of love, joy, peace, awareness, and freedom. We can come to celebrate the would be ravages of time as the play of temporality, and to dance with its steps.

At its heart, such training is always about honesty, agency, and intentionality. Through it we can find meaning, narrative, and poetry that can withstand the gravity of reality, and persist as wisdom embodied.

So today I went back to Hapkido and I enjoyed it. I also had a very bleh day at work (probably due to little sleep).

I work at a call center so we get a lot of free time and I didn't want to really do anything during that.

Tomorrow will hopefully be better.
