Man does Larry Tatum have nice hair! (http://www.ltatum.com/)

OK so he looks like one of the Village People, but still that's some nice hair. Definatly the "No Mullet Zone".:D

Hair or not, the man knows his stuff. I have a few of his videos, and they are pretty solid. Didn't samson have long locks? But he was a grappler, liked to wrestle with Delilah.

OMG! Look at that "Get your copy of this realistic autographed portrait of Master Tatum" thing! Praise the Messiah!

And I have to say that Liz Jorn's flawless flying sidekick is hardly flawless. It's not even a sidekick! She's looking back over her shoulder for goodness sake!

That's the danger of talking yourself up big on websites like that.

You crazy Yanks.... I'll never figure you out...

These amazing pictures (8x10 in) of Larry Tatum in action can be obtained for $22 each.


Or you can just copy them for the price of a right click

Does anyone know where there's a picture on the net of someone doing a flying side kick that doesn't look like a picture of someone sitting on a stage, cut out and superimposed on some other picture (dark room in this case, sky and building in the case of JC Kim)? How hard is it to actually get a good pic of someone doing a flying side kick?

This one looks more back kick than side kick. That would make it correct for her to be looking back over her shoulder. I've never done a flying back kick. Do you turn your back toward your opponent while you're in the air, or do you run backward first, and then jump?

Looks like a jumping back kick to me, but then I've seen more versions of a side kick than I can count.

Which tapes did you get the old Panther series? What did you like about them?

Why on God's green earth would anyone want to do a flying side kick?

Silly Old Jong, it's meant to knock people off of horses. Now why would you rather kick a guy off of a horse rather than just jump on the horse behind him and do something harmful to him is beyond me.;)

It's one of the few techniques feared by the mounties.

The kick, not the hair.

That's weird. I can't get to your pic, old jong, but the weird part is that I end up at this address: http://members.tripod.com/adm/interstitial/remote.jpg

even though my browser shows that your link is: http://members.tripod.com/adm/interstitial/remote.jpg


All I see is a tripod logo. :(

old jong,

Cool! I notice there's a patch on the uniform, and I was wondering if there are 5 or 7 stars on it.
