A documentary about Systema, a Russian martial art, featuring some self-defense lessons by Metropolitan Mark of Vyatka and Slobodskoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtJ1sAvkkOU |

OH THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! My INTERNETZ HAVE COME FULL ZIRKLE! It been awhile since I've had the chance to mock this stuff and longer since having the chance to beat someone who was willing to put "systema" to the test. This is one time where YiM and Tallitot can superiority. Krav Maga when done sanely is much less goofy than this stuff. |

We cannot legislate morality by passing laws controlling firearms. The only evil we can combat lies within our hearts. We need stronger laws to protect the moral foundation of society against the evil of gay marriage. |

I wonder if they ever "synced" kung fu stuff in any of the Eastern Bloc countries. The first time I was exposed to this method of dubbing, my brain melted. |

It is an education process for me as I learn about the psychology of spiritual apostasy. And others get the benefit of perhaps hearing righteousness for the first time.
Blessed are the Peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God.

 See that roll of paper he's holding? It's his magic kung fu scroll which was hidden in a secret compartment at the monastery until it was discovered in 1993 by a young novice with great potential but rough upbringing. |

Everybody wonders why the bishop carries a big crozier. It's not just for looks.
