No, Finlandization would mean not getting a gas mask, so the exact opposite. Tell you the truth though, it doesn't work, my gas mask. Well I mean there's nothing wrong with it, but I have never changed the.. what you call it the thing in the ventilation that filters the poisonous stuff from the air you breath, so I haven't ever changed that filter and what are they good for.. about a month or less, if not in use even. So when the attacks start, I'll be putting on that mask and it doesn't even work for me, so I'll be just a big gimp running around with a rubber thing on my head, spending all that energy and then choking on poisons. But I guess someone has to do it, to show others where you can go wrong.

Ted, oh, and about India (sorry for threadjacking), it's not the one you mentioned only. There are many different styles, that have been the forefathers of Kung Fu (china) etc. So what we are talking about is that India had all the knowledge, techniques and styles that were incorporated by everyone else in the world. In fact, the Indian styles are the most oldest ones we know, when talking about martial arts per se.
But there are tons of stuff right next to it, there's stuff in thailand, there's stuff in Indonesia etc etc etc.. Kali Eskrima is one of my favourite ones. It's nasty.... did you know the Portugese dude Magellan actually died fighting Filipino dudes, who have Eskrima style? Yeah, it's a style where you fight with no weapons, or with weapons, and can change into another one without breaking a sweat in a split of a second. It was actually so effective, that a they gave a lot of ass kicking to whole lots of people. There have been these figh ridden people in those areas, fighting off colonialists etc, and their own oppressors for so long, that they are the true fathers of what we now know about martial arts, except that they were much more hardcore, and our martial arts is mostly competitive stuff, and not their lethal only stuff. There has been so much HC action, that we don't even know the half of it.

I mean what you would be saying is that they became obsolete because of weaponry the westerners had, well, partially that is true but it never became obsolete and they continued all the time to these days, many of them. Like Russians, they have Sambo, Systema etc, military learns it, SF folks learns that stuff, and it's very good. Israelis have Krav Maga (military version) etc etc.. even without weapon, they are not obsolete, plus many of these do encorporate weapon usage, even firearms.
