    If you want to use your shin as a weapon, you have to harden it and build up bone tissue. Kicking truck tires, hitting your shin with a wine bottle, stuff like that. Back in my Kyokushin karate days, I once talked to Michel Wedel, a Dutch champion, who has several times broken the leg of...

    He went a smidgen over the top IMO. But you know how it is, once you get going, it is hard to stop. I just enjoyed the video because I thought the guy had it coming. Besides, when I teach self defence I always tell students, once you've reached condition black, keep going till the guy is out.

    That was a most enjoyable video :lol: As for Rousey, she was pretty much the queen of the arm bar. I enjoyed watching her fight and just wait for the moment she got it in.

    For fighting someone out of her weight class, she did well.

    Fluid as hell. Love it. Pity that the 2 of us never got a chance to play before I got sick and crippled. Wouldn't be much of a match today. Sure would have been a lot of fun pitting my 6 foot Bo against your sticks for fun at a gettogether( What is the Bando term for them?) with a lot of...

    My problem with the "modern" styles is that they lack the moral codex of the old arts. I realize that may sound silly, coming from someone like me. My sensei once said that I was the kind to knock out my opponent, then start chewing on the corpse. Obviously, he didn't know I am a vegetarian...

    Rick, I .,ove how fast he gets those kicks off the ground. No telegraphing at all. I've been focusing on that when teaching, telling students not to be so focused on power, but to concentrate on speed. The most powerfull kick in the World is useless if the opponent can see it coming. BTW, did...

    Cory, I totally disagree with most of it. Like, how many boxers do you see taking one arm out of action. I do, however, greatly admire him for turning a disability into an advantage. Folks like me, who regularly fall down stairs and cripple themselves, can learn from that. Plus, he sure a...

    There has been a lot of crappy martial arts coming out of the US. Bill Wallace has always kept clear of that. This is a really good video. I'd give anything to be able to move like that when I'm 75.

    Doesn't take much to piss you off. Why don't you simply man up and dismember me instead of having to put up with being "schooled" by me. Nope, "dismember" was not a mistake, it was a joke, however lame.

    Those are too broad to be able to reach any vitals at the speed you can throw them.

    Butch, you coulkd break one of those boards with one finger, simply by pushing hard on it. Those boards are a joke.

    Really! Gary said it for me, but yes. I've trained with a few of the old time Okinawan masters and they are incredible. It is a brand of people that will be extinct when this generation dies off. People who took up the art at age 8 years and have been at it since. Their skill level is beyond...

    Butch, I've trained with 70 year old masters who could beat my ass. That is why we call them masters.
