I hear ya there..Somedays its an effort to crawl out of the crypt...
 
Could you imagine that show The Surreal Life with a gaggle of cheezy MA'ists all under the same roof?
Hmmm, let's see. We can put Ashida Kim, Charlie Mattera, Rod Sacharnowski, David Carradine & Steven Seagal all in the same house, and watch as they play all kinds of wacky kung fu antics!:partyon:

Don't forget those other REAL martial artists.... George (I trained under Oyata) Dillman, Mark (Grandmaster in record time) Kline, Evan (I wanna be the next George Dillman) Pantazi, and Jim (I'll follow Evan anywhere) Corn.

These guys are a real Knock Out.

There is a huge difference between whether someone likes or dislikes something and whether something is good or bad. It would seem, with some exceptions, that the majority of your comments are based around whether you liked it or not. Your interest in martial arts shows obviously revolves around documentaries, which is well and noble and good. But to try and draw a parallel to music, your comments seem equivolent to someone saying "Bach is a bad song writer. You can't dance to ANY of his songs! There's not even a guitar!"

I'm not trying to dis you at all. All I'm saying is that I think you're missing the point of the show.

To say an apple pie fails at being a crisp fresh apple misses the whole point of the pie.

Mmmmm.... pie....

I should really eat before starting these posts.

Yeah but what do you call the pie, when the baker leaves the apples out?
In this case, the artists left the "Martial" out.

If you are an exeptional martial artist, you may even walk away with a Dan grading in The Dillman Method, or whatever it is that he calls his stuff these days.

A word to the wise though, don't volunteer.... The man likes to bash people. Especially if he doesn't knock you out with his first try, he'll bash even harder on the second or third try.

He did it to one of the Gracies and needed his bodyguards, or whatever they were, to stop from being turned into a pretzel. Those Gracies don't like to lay down for you, andthey don't appreciate being bashed on the jaw.

Thanks for the heads up..Bashing one of the Gracies??? Not a wise move for ANYONE...I NEVER volunteer to Uke for anyone that I have'nt worked with before...

Amen Brother...
 
Just don't pick up your big toes when Georgie tries to knock you out. You'll make him look bad.
 
I volunteered to be the Uke for a Dan Bong Instructor...Before the students arrived he showed me 2 Dan Bongs, one made of rubber and the normal wooden one...He held out the rubber one and said "You can make me look good",then he held out the wooden one "Or I can make me look good"...I made him look REAL good...

It was a good class as he is an excellent instructor..I reacted with facial contortions and went down everytime..One technique did not really hurt but I went down anyway sans the grimace of pain..."You're making me look bad",he said "Do it again and no more beer for the duration of the seminar..

:lfao: :lfao: :lfao: :lfao:
 
I should add that after he threatened to cut of my beer supply I immediately flopped to the floor.."This technique can sometimes have a delayed action" he said with a straight face... The rest of us broke up ...
 
Made it back without injury..I didn't volunteer to be an Uke..He did walk over to correct a technique whick involved a strike to inside of your arm..I was like getting hit with a sledge hammer...
