h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Are you talking of and entry 'Marital Arts' with the bottom line of 'Run-Lak Fekh'?

As to the status of not being recommended yet -- As for my part, I'm keeping a habit of picking oldest threads first.

Bossel - above prompts a slightly offtopic question which I've taken here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/F42658?thread=137299&post=1252707#p1252707 H.

OK, trawling back through the older Peer Review entries I found one on Sun Tzu, so in a spirit of optimism that that entry will soon be tidied up, finished and recommended, there's now a link to it from here.

Other than that...

I've managed to produce an article on Tai Chi. It's in Peer Review in its own right, but here's a link if you want to include a reference in your own article.

In response to Ploppy's shameless self-promotion, there is now a link to the Tai Chi article in the Entry. Cheers!

I saw the title "Ultimate Martial Art", expecting to find a description of Ultimate Martial Art tournaments. Now that I've read the entry, I'm sure such tournaments exist, even if they can't quite agree on the name.

Personally, I still take this entry entirely seriously, and think it would be good for the edited Guide.

A-G:

Do you refer to the "Ultimate Fighting Championships"? These definitely exist. Instigated I think by a couple of brothers from Brazil who wanted to test their style of Jujitsu against other forms - I think one or other of them won for about the first six years until some other people started to get the measure of them.

Thanks for the thumbs up. This entry's getting old, now though, I'm starting to give up hope

H.

giving up hope after *three* weeks in PR? Do you know how it feels to have a finished entry sitting at the >reverse pole position< (that is, the *very* bottom of PR) with your own posting being the last one? There's a related journal entry (although quite cryptic) on my space, any questions just ask!

Sorry, Bossel. I did say somewhere that I'd learned patience... guess I'm just acclimatised to success (oh god how big-headed that made me sound, repulsive.)

I'm going to go and find that entry now, of course... can't resist a mystery...

H.

I learned patience. It's a rubbish card game.

Ah, the pun. God's gift to talentless writers

I just read your article and loved it. It may not be Guide material but it is wortha read. As a practisioner of jujitsu I have a great respect for the killing arts . . .but your article lends light and credence to all martial arts. .. if you don't make it, let me know and I will certainly do my best to get your article spread about the community.

"It may not be Guide material..." -- no, it *is*!

See posting 11 on this thread for HV's argument about the suitability of this entry for the Guide.

To Aaron:

I've asked elsewhere on this thread for people who know better than I do to write entries on other martial arts - (I gave a list). Someone very kindly took this as inspiration for an entry on Tai Chi, to which this entry is now linked. Is there *any* chance you could do one on Jujitsu? I'm very interested in it, and especially its relationship with Judo. Guaranteed link from here if you write it in time....

Thanks for the comments...

I've heard of Ultimate Fighting championships, but sprinting races would fit your definition of Ultimate Martial Art better.

From what I've seen of Peer Review, even after the moderators ban your entry for the third time, it's still premature to give up hope. I was once afraid I'd waste time writing entries the Guide didn't want, so I spent most of the year 2000 waiting for my first set of entries to get approved. In retrospect, that was just silly. But it still gives an indication of how long an entry can ferment before reaching its bubbly maturity.

I will try to give some snippets of Jujitsu.

Since the BBC is, as I speak, showing "Enter the Dragon" uncut for the first time in Britain for almost 20 years, I thought I'd post here to push this to the top of the queue for any Brits with a martial arts interest (I'm *still* typing "marital" every time I mean "martial" - Freudian or what?).

"Boards... don't hit back." No, and they don't run very fast either...

Well Hvl, some might think 'Run-Lak Fekh' would qualify as a pretty close to ultimate marital art too.

You could have two guide entries here for the price of a small title change.

You're confusing Run-Lak Fekh with Fekh-Dan Rhoon, the ancient art of sex without consequences

oh geez. . .(laughs uncontrollably)
