Subject: Who is the single most powerful entity in WH40K?
And no one cares about your pretty little belt, that's what 10mm 200 grain hollowpoints are for. And isn't the black belt symbolic of someone who has just established enough of a baseline where you can instruct others, but are really only starting the learning process towards true mastery? You come across quite arrogant for someone who supposedly holds true traditional martial art values. Your sifu/sensei would be ashamed of you.

...... Now now, if we are arguing america we gotta go with the .45 acp, or funner yet .45 lc, and while the ak74 is fairly reliable its not as accurate as the m16, and with that I would trust my ass to a magpul masada(aka bushmaster acr) more than an ak74. Personally I would rather learn how to fight using russian Systema or Isrealli Krav Maga, both of which have more of a use in modern conflict than most modern martial arts(both KM and systema are designed with modern warfare in mind) that said I think comparing martial arts tends to end up like it does comparing religion, just a bunch of ticked off people and no results.

Is that why the C'tan kicked their asses?

I thought they kicked the C'tans asses and then they were wiped out by some parasite like Stargates Goa'uld

You would be very wrong.
The C'tan conquered the galaxy, bringing the Old Ones to the brink of extinction, and rendering their "child" races cattle. The Webway that gave the Old Ones the advantage against the Necrontyr was countered by the utter supremacy of the C'tan in the Materium.
The Old Ones made one last offensive push after the C'tan had gotten done eating eachother, and then the Enslavers came out and destroyed the Old Ones.

Thank you for educating me, it's been awhile since I last looked in the necron codex.

Though the Old Ones were pretty powerful, they were supposed to basically be Eldar+ I believe. Short of the actual gods, perhaps the strongest race to exist in 40k.

The lineage of a lot of these traditional styles has severely degraded over the centuries, in no small part due to the less rigorous training. I guarantee you even the staunchest kung fu school isn't making new students stand in horse stance for a few months before teaching them anything else. Those guys were badass when they spent every waking moment training, and had to utilize that training in life or death situations on a practically daily basis. Not to say that there isn't great benefit to those styles (when I used to rigorously train in Hung Gar my general fitness level was way beyond what I get from the gym/P90x and my forearms were practically the size of my thighs... it was ridiculous), but they just aren't as practical in this day and age.
I'd put my money on someone who has studied "American" mixed martial arts for 2 years than someone who has studied tae kwon do or whatever bullcrap for 10. The era of the "Ten Tigers of Kwangtung" and such is long past. You would be hard-pressed to find 10 men of such caliber on the entire continent of Asia.
And anyway, everyone knows the real American martial art is shooting you in the face with the best pistols and rifles ever developed.
LOL YOU DONT EVEN FIGHT. Such a dis-respectfuil joke of a paragraph,
Not sure if you cant tell, but that is black. in kyokushin, we dont use pads when we spar, no mouthgards, bloodsport, fight against american trained students and they haven't even trained how to take a hit let alone meditated and studied how to deliver one without breaking their fists
using your logic, a shaolin monk who has trained for 10 years wouldn't beat a american student training for 2. Good one Bro!
I believe the term is

oh and btw, ak 74 Kalashnikov is better than any american gun, atleast it doesn't jam
edit: sorry i just read that your arms were as big as your thighs, not a good sensei, the ratio of your arm to legs should almost be 2-1, good luck getting any speed out of them.
I find this... amusing, clearly someone has never fought and only danced, or sparred as you like to call it. A real fight is one that your life is on the line, where there is no such thing as honor or playing dirty, and you know that one small feth up will result in you dead. I've had my share of these fights and have the scars as mementos.
And the AK-74 is a piece of gak, sure it doesn't jam if you treat as gak, but neither does a M4, M14, or M16 if you have the discipline to maintain and clean your weapon after a firefight your. The reason why it's so damn hard to jam an AK is because so many of the internal parts are loose resulting in being an extremely inaccurate weapon system whereas back when I was in the Army, I knew if I took care of my weapon, it would in turn take care of me, one shot, one kill. Whereas all you do is spray and pray with your pathetic piece of now made in china piece of gak. And btw, no one in my platoon ever had an issue with jamming, why? Because we're disciplined and take the time individually to maintain and clean our weapons, and we check up on our buddies.
And C'tan totally win when it comes to the most powerful, they have incredible power and considering they were birthed with the big bang, there's gotta be a whole gak ton of them out in the universe.
Gods? There are no gods. Merely existences, obstacles to overcome.

hooolyy cow... you obviously dont even understand the difference between a school yard fight or a street fight and a top level fight between two trained artists. you think i just go around slapping people? congrats, you are just simply abusing the fact that you can say that i have never done anything because this is the internet, that is just the same as me saying that no you haven't ever faught and you are lying, atleast i have shown my black belt.
and idk if you cant read English or understand it but the debate was between traditional Japanese arts and modern american arts, nothing about if someone has a gun or something.
congrats on missing point
