French update

...They still smell bad.

Hmmnn, apparentlyI'm all over this site: Click Here

Could someone PLEASE tell me what this says?!?!?!? (I apologize in advance if it's something about your mother).

"Bonne idée pour bosser seul, c'est pas bête."

With a little help from babel Fish and Eleanore's rusty Jr. High School French it's something like:

"Good idea to work on your own, it is not stupid."

Thanks Mike, Google translator gave me something similar. Looks like my stuff has only been up there for one day, we'll see what they think of me over in the land of Croissants.

You know I was thinking about it and the French describing something as "not stupid", especially something done by an American, is probably high praise.

On par with, "HOLY SHIT! This is the most amazing thing I've ever seen!" from an American.

Oui! Viva! Le Bobbe les enfant terrible! Le redoubtable loup noir de Pencak Silat ! Je prends le cari fonctionner par mes veines.

Google language tools are stupendous!

Well, they have their moments. See my comments on the earlier posting. :)

"Voir la danse de Bobbe, danse de Bobbe de danse."

I think there was also something about liking French speaking beer as well.

In case attempts at auto-translation have been less than helpful...

The guy posting the video just describes them, like "Here is such-and-such a technique." The other comments are mostly boring. On the "slash and cover" thread, it's apparent that they have a specific technique they call 'cover' which panantukan doesn't see in your video, and ChrisC tells him that him that not everyone uses the word they way they do. On "angles de bases au couteau", bountyhunter says it's a good idea for solo training. On "gunting avec couteau", panantukan asks who you are; guy asks if there are videos of you sparring as it would be interesting to see the application in a more realistic context; ChrisC says your name, that you do Inosanto kali, and that he doesn't have vids of you sparring but will post them if you make any; panantukan says he doesn't think you do Inosanto style as he doesn't recognize it and the angles are different...

Thanks, Helpful Lurker!

...It doesn't look like Inosanto? THE ANGLES ARE DIFFERENT??? Dude, Inosanto works every frickin' angle known to man! Of course, my stuff is a mixture of styles, so it isn't STRICTLY Inosanto...But then again, n either is Inosanto himself!
