An Ex-Rapper in Biblical Robes Says His “Ancient” Martial Art Can Save the Jewish People

Self-Defense, King David–Style
An ex-rapper in biblical robes is promoting a unique Jewish martial art in Jerusalem.​

Here's a video:

 

[clfsean]

Oh yeah that guy ... who ten years ago was peddling this in a hapkido uniform, using Chinese swords & saying it was Jewish kung fu ...

 

[MartialMasters]

I've been through lots of old documents in my day, including old Hebrew writings. Gun defense didn't come up once!
And much as I love martial arts, I don't think any martial art can "save" an entire people.

Well, in any case...good luck to him, though I doubt he'll make many inroads against Krav Maga, which is quite comfortably established over there!

 

[Tez3]

Obviously a load of rubbish because as everyone knows the only true Jewish martial art is Jewjuitsu....................
I'm allowed to make that joke plus I'm overdosing on doughnuts and latkes.
Of course the chap may have Jerusalem Syndrome which often affects people who go up to Israel.

 

[Touch Of Death]

One day, somebody should introduce this guy to his left hand.

 

[drop bear]

I would just like to say it is not the martial art it is the individual

There is a local Christian Karate school that teaches kids to count in Hebrew, for whatever reason. LOL

 

[Hanzou]

So is dressing up like a rabbi part of the uniform?

Whatever the hell that guy was doing in the vid looks like straight garbage.

 

[Tez3]

That's not how Rabbis dress, that's how extras in The Life of Brian dressed................

I don't even understand that kind of thing at all. Is there really a market for that? I guess there must be, but that just seems so silly. Like if someone had a Buddhist coffee shop, or a Jewish gas station. Adding religion to things that have nothing to do with religion.

 

[elder999]

No...just.....no.......

I mean, I don't remember him from any of the children's classes Bruce Lee taught when I was attending......oh, that's right, because Bruce Lee didn't teach children's classes when we were kids-he was getting $175 dollars an hour (in 60's money!!) for private lessons, and otherwise teaching the adults that he wanted to use as training dummies in class!

שמאָנצעס! Drek! Mashuggas narishkeit!

He's not a martial arts master, he's a very naughty boy!

Can't. Left hand is evil in the Hebrew/Arabic tradition. :rofl:

I can't speak for Arabic tradition but that's not really how it is in Judaism.

I should have used an emoticon. Sorry. It was a joke.

However, I could probably, if pressed, show at least a reasonable case against left hand. I wouldn't really believe it, but I've always been good at that sort of debating.

I don't know, maybe he really is on to something here...perhaps I should add something about saving the Canadian people in the online lessons at my Academy. It could be a golden marketing opportunity!

I've already done a few clips with Hockey Sticks (no, really!), maybe I should build on that and come up with an "Earl Grey" style to match his King-David style (the famous tea was named after a Canadian Governor General, after all!).

Hmm, maybe not quite as intimidating. I guess I'd probably need to add some videos about bear defence (I actually saw one walking through my neighbourhood a few months ago), or how to avoid scalding yourself with Tim Horton's Coffee...seems like such a fuss, though!

"Always look on the bright side of defence"?

The official uniform must include a red and white toque.

BTW, what are you doing on MT? Shouldn't you be preparing to move from your Summer Igloo to your Winter Igloo or something?

Ay?

Couldn't you scare the bear off by throwing scalding coffee in his face?

That is an odd position to take, considering we even sell Christian Insurance to people.

I will say that calling something Christian, makes it sound safe and wholesome. Your child is in just as much danger, as he or she ever was, but it is a start.
