Hmmm. I didn't know the samurai knew kung fu. You'd think they would have studied something more, eh, Japanese. 
We've all been there. I know the first time I ever tried using nunchakus I almost knocked myself out -- at least it didn't happen in front of some huge crowd like it did for poor 'ol Diamond Dave.

"Kung Fu" and "15th Century Samurai move"???
That sounds like another prime example of the media embelishing an incident to make a celeb. look cooler then they are. Everyone in hollywood or in the music industry who is a martial artist is an "expert." Not that everyone in hollywood isn't good at martial arts or something, but I'll never know how good they really are unless I practice with them; not with the media spin.
I actually do wonder what the heck he was trying to do, however. Did anyone get it on film?opcorn:

Oh yea...we've all totally been there. No offense to David Lee Roth; S**t happens. I just find it amazing how the media can't say that he was just screwing around with a staff, practicing MA, and he goofed and hit himself. They have to make it look like some death-defying act ("he was doing a very fast, complicated, 15th century Samurai move").:lool:

No, because if you remember, the Brizilians invaded Spain first, thus starting the Crusades. Damn indiginous people and there dreams of manifest destiny!
:lol: You guys crack me up!

Actually I thought they started the Crusades not because of manifest destiny, but instead to learn Portuguese so they had western-sounding names for their grappling techniques. Evidently Nostradamus predicted this whole MMA thing quite a while ago.
No, the Crusades were a 1950s rock and roll band that did a benifit show for the shaolin temple and were honored with being taught secret techniques known only to the inner circle of priests and Marco Polo.

Evidently he has a show across the pond in November, so I think he might be OK...

BTW, he's being pretty good-natured about the whole thing, even making fun of himself. Go to http://www.davidleeroth.com/, click on the < symbol, and then follow the "Kung Fu Concussion" link. I give him some credit, as he obviously has a sense of humor.
