What do you think of this

[Danny]

The thing that stuck in my craw was the fact that in allot of those videos fighter A would grab fighter B, and fighter B instead of using his 4 free limbs to clobber fighter A who is now completely open and has two of his limbs tied up grabbing fighter B, fighter B grabs fighter A and they end up rolling around of the ground.

Hmmm, have you ever fought someone full contact that was grabbing you and pulling you to the ground? Unless you know how to stand up grapple you have a hard time not going down. Even in Muay Thai, when someone grabs me for the clinch my strikes to his body are ineffective. When I practice shoot fighting and my opponent tries to take me down my strikes are still ineffective because hes keeping me from getting a good base to strike from (taking me down to the ground makes it hard to throw a solid strike) The only strikes I can sometimes get off that do anything while pushed off balance are elbows and I only get a couple before I'm on my back.

Fosters Beer Commercials[/B][/QUOTE]

The only people in Australia that drink Fosters, are tourists who think that they look like a local by drinking that watered down cats pee.

Crock Dundee[/B][/QUOTE]
The funny thing about this guy is, he sounds American to us, but his use of the lingo is fair dinkum.

Who knows, maybe I'm about to learn a new word in my own lingo.

Nope. None of them is me. I don't know any of them but if they lived closer I'd be out there with them.

I agree. Maybe they are a little nutty, and maybe they should be spending a little more time in a class learning some material and how to use it but these are the guys that are out there doing it.

No one ever seems to make fun of the Dog Brothers and their gathering of the pack.

You need to spend time learning the material but you also need to spend time working it. When was the last time you went down to a local bar with your jock on to see if the art you are studying has any useful applications. I wouldn't recommend it but this may be the next best thing. They just need to spend more time in the classroom.

That only seems to work when I wear mine on my head. People really hate that.

I don't know.. I tihnk it's somewhat difficult to test your fighting ability under "real" situations. First if you are just brawling with freinds chances are you are using the same style (not always but usualy). Odds are if it isn't the same style it's still not a style you are bound to come up against "on the street". Second if you do go down to the bar to test your ability.. What are the odds of getting a good fighter? I mean the kind of fighter that might attack you some other time?

 

[Damian Mavis]

Bah! nobody liked my joke so I'll post seriously again.

"You need to spend time learning the material but you also need to spend time working it. "

I totally agree with Gou on this one. There has to be times in a martial artists training that he uses his fighting skills in as realistic a way as possible. If not how can you ever be sure you know what your doing? My eyes were opened up when all my carefully planned counters and attacks were null and void when I went up against a raging 220 pound monster. And that was just a training excercise! If it had been real I would have been killed. (note: I am only 160 pounds and was pummelled like a rotweiller with a squeekee toy)

Oh my good gracious sakes alive that has got to be one of the funniest things I've seen in ages! Damian Mavis, I now hold your sense of humor in the highest regard! My suggestion to viewers, do give yourself 101/2 uninterrupted (child-free) minutes to watch this thru, and be sure you are wearing your >>Depends<< due to the risk of laffin way too hard for your own good. :rofl:
Tunetigress would like to suggest that Damian's status be raised to the rank of oh, hmmmm, maybe Supreme Lord-High Entertainment Specialist??? Honestly, somebody out there has gotta buy Lord Mavis a milk for this contribution!!!! :rofl:

 

[tonbo]

Okay, Damian......you win!!

Ok.. not bad

 

[meltdown51]

the skill level of thier techniques is a joke, and after watching the videos i find it hard to believe any of them have had that much martial arts training and if they have it is time they found a new instructor.
