We are, during the course of our discussion, talking about well known Martial Artists such as Bruce Lee, the Gracies/Machados, as well as many of the Kenpo Insts. that are out there.
There are, however, many others out there, that dont seem to be talked about as much. This might be due to the fact that nobody knows about them, or that they just choose not to advertise themselves as much as some of the others do.
You have such people such as Sammy Franco, Peyton Quinn, Marc "Animal" Macyoung and Geoff Thompson. Upon looking at the web sites of these individuals, they seem to pretty much teach a very simple, to the point system. The one thing that I have noticed is that they dont seem to be bound by any traditions, such as the ones that you would find in some of the other arts. Rather than teach fancy moves, they seem to be more focused on the reality of a street fight.
Again, as I have said before, we all train for different reasons, so something like this, might not be for everybody. But there are those people that are looking for something like this. I'm not an authority of these people, but I have looked at their web sites, as well as purchased some books put out by them.
Just wanted to see what everyone else thought!
