Black Belt
One of Jeff Sherwin's black belts at the Martinez, CA dojo, a young lad named Juan, has this sick habit of collecting 30-second video clips of himself attacking Bujinkan senior instructors and suffering the consequences. This year he's "collected" several Japanese shihan and a couple of Aussies; and in the last week or so he's finally gotten his own instructor (Jeff) and me.
With Juan's permission I've had my WebMistress upload "my" video at my website so I could share it, and I thought some of you might enjoy a look as it does capture the "fun" feeling of training in my dojo. (I love it when another student, holding the camera, tells him he still has 20 seconds to go.)
This is totally unscripted, but there ARE constraints: Juan gets to do whatever he wants to try to take me out, while I'm making a point of not injuring him -- so I'm not striking, kicking, using joint-breaking locks or throws, or using weapons, which allows things to be drawn out much longer.

I think the really funny part is at the end, when he's still trying to squirm loose (until I put my fingertips suggestively on his eyelids) while muttering, ". . .kill. . ."

In a controlled setting/situation of course.
