Thread: Martial Arts

Hi!

So I´ve been reading a LOT of "Oneironaut´s Matrix" (hope I spelled that right). I´ve noticed one thing. He likes to kick ass, but he can do it so easily (I´m at page 15 now, so I´m not sure about nowdays). I came up with a though...

Is it possible to somehow give a DC superior Martial Arts abilities, so that it would be actually HARD to kick his ass? Or actually..
Is it possible to give any abilities/powers to a DC, so that he/she becomes an actual challenge?

And as the last question:
Do you practice martial arts in your LDs? Tell me about your exps.

Nice to know you've been checking out my journal!

You know, I have never tried giving a DC powers. That could be pretty cool. I've had some characters, though, that I've just never been able to beat. I can usually beat up grunts and people who might seem they would be easy to take down, with no problem, but I often have trouble with characters I perceive as really tough or powerful - even if I feel I have good control.

I might have to try giving a DC Uber-Power, though - see how much of a challenge I can create.

I use LD regurarly to spar and memorise techniques and play out different tactics. So yes you can. I tend to think it as enhanced imaginatory training.

I haven't tried "superpower" thing though because I want them to be realistic as possible.

It is strange that there is a certain feeling of muscular strength etc in dreams..

I've gone up against some DCs who had Matrix-like speed. Their martial arts was sloppy, but their speed was insane.

Oh yeah i know what you mean, last night i had a lucid where i was on my old street in another state, i was standing at the end of the driveway and this nba player named paul pierce and some other guy were running at super high speed. Leaving a trail of either wind that you can actually see, or fire or smoke or something, i couldn't tell what that stuff was coming from those dcs, but they zipped passed me.

Hi Hope it doesn't seem off topic but wile I have never lucid dreamed just to try fighting or martial arts I have had some non lucid dreams that I fought in and had very vivid dream recall. In these dreams I had feeling and everything just like real life but not the same strength. An example is once in a dream somebody was starting trouble with a friend of mine and the person got violent. I got him down quickly with no problem and wile I was winning with little effort I didnt feel like I was hitting hard. I was repeatedly pounding him in the face but whenever it connected my arm felt like rubber. When you dream if you connect or land a hard hit does it feel like real life or are you just going through the motions?

Wile I wasnt practicing martial arts and have never had the desire to dream just to go fight I am curious what it feels like for you who focus on it and are lucid for it.

awesome stuff! Has anyone ever tried to train an actual discipline like Kyokushin or Muy Tai? I've been training Wing Chun and I'm going to try to train in dreams against some serious DCs, if I can make it happen anyway...

Yes, I train martial arts. check the thread if you wanna talk about martial arts in general.
