I found another contact for jailhouse rock...

[SevenStar]

I've posted before about my acquaintance who trains bukti negara silat and has experience with jailhouse rock. Well, last night, I was talking to a guy from a kenpo class, and he was telling me about his friend, how awesome he was and how massive his forearms are. He said the guy trained kali and a style similar to it known as 52 blocks. I was like "wtf? you know someone that does 52 blocks?" and he confirmed it. I told him I wanted to meet the guy - hopefully we can set something up.

On an interesting side note, here's some lyrics from various raps that mention 52

"Yo, we throwin 52 blocks at outside shots to bubble up the snot box
No penalties or shot blocks, it's similar to Comstock, kid
You catch an elbow in this h3llhole of concrete
Add a touch of soul before we compete..."

-wu tang clan, "soul in a hole"



"Beat ****** toothless, physically cut up like gooses
But with iron on the sides thugs took no excuses
Therefore, your fifty-two handblocks was useless..."

- wu tang clan, "cold world"


"Fifty-Two blocks, Cazelle frames
bald heads and heavy chains
somehow caught in the game"

- Nature, "I remember"

"I ain't have to quickdraw Mcgraw ya, I could Fifty Two Block ya
Switch my stance up Southpaw, drop ya ..."

raekwon/rza, "it's not a game"


"Fifty-two cops can't withstand the 52 blocks
Unless they bust like 52 shots"

method man and redman, "1,2,1,2"

52 hand block, JHR, 52 B' whatever you want to call it

its the use of elbows and anything and everything so i have read at this site http://go.to/stickgrappler

they make it seem like an art form, which is just dirty fighting. once i was driving in Brooklyn and saw some guys fighting they were slapping elbows, i didnt pay it any mind. it was nothing special

yeah, I've read that before. I know someone with experience in it too. It's great stuff - way more than just "slapping elbows"

If you had, the elbow slapping would look familiar.
