SBGi videos have good technique, but the fact that about half of the length is "introduce mood lighting and let's get some insight into Matt's deep thought" is kind of annoying.

Are most of you guys using straight blasts' stuff for their grappling and ground game? or for fighting in general? And if it is for fighting in general, what exactly are you getting that you don't have in your Kung-Fu? I noticed that there are several TCMA guys who are reccommending SBG tapes.

I've done some of the stuff off the rodney king set.
I see where it is in the Kungfu, but, it's about where the focus is.

All application stuff as opposed to theory and make sure your elbow is this way and your hand is that and so on. In other words, it doesn't spend too much time dwelling on shape and goes more into how to apply. It conveys in simple and quick terms.

Dave- You can fast forward through the crappy bits and get straight to the stuff. :p

yeah, but it's disingeuous... they rave about how a tape is over and hour and 37 minutes of it is Matt in his club going shirt and cargo pants telling you how innovative he is and interviews with others telling you how innovative Matt is... yeah, we get it, he "created" the "aliveness" concept... now get back to the pummeling ;)

well, good with the bad i guess. I really don't bother with the "talk" p[ortions of stuff anyway. So, to be honest, I haven't actually watched any of that part. lol.

Maybe to the dudes chagrin, but oh well.
The techs are totally legit. I really like the clinch work stuff, gave me some perspective on how to employ stuff I already had in a more pressureized environment.

Like the structure breaking material and the reversals and so on.

anywho...
