..ok so i sparred a BJJ guy tonight

[GGL]

.. I thought those guys were supposed to be good... all the guy wanted to do was try to ground fight. Maybe i am wrong but I thought there was throws in that style. They couldn't even fall without getting hurt. I really didn't have to ground fight.. the throws took too much out of him.. we said full contact.. so i threw him to the ground (ouch!!:)) and then he tried some funky roll... so i kicked him in the head. Maybe they should think fighting from the ground up.. I don't mean to knock the style.. but we were pretty equal in size and experience.. i think the style is only as good as the person practicing it... so I guess the only thing to say is the boy got schooled in Shuai Chiao.. then we went and got a beer.. it was a good night

[Ryu]

Cool thing happened to me too.
I sparred a Shuai chiao guy tonight. First off the guy tries to come into me and use this weird ass throw. OUCH! The guy couldn't even make it work and he flung himself onto the ground head first!
I just mounted him and started punching. I mean, I thought these guys had some groundfighting in their system? I don't mean to knock the style, just seems that this practioner sucks.
The guy was terrible, and couldn't stop any kind of takedown, and had no ground defense.

Then we went out for pizza. It was a good night.

Sounds kinda silly don't ya think?

I fought a goose today. I thought those birds were supposed to be mean or something.

I was eating my lunch out on the patio when this goose comes along, and he's all up in my face demanding some of my chips. So I'm like, yo... step up. The little ******* steps, staring me in the eyes and giving me this wretched hiss. So I fake a left, and he just flaps his big wings out!! I thought these birds had claws or something. Anyway... he took the fake, so I shot, scored a single-leg and brought him down. He put me in his guard, and I was having trouble passing, so I just grabbed his scaley little legs and pounded his head into patio until he tapped.

But then we went out to Karioke, so it was a good night.

LMAO - Braden thats hysterical.

Hey!
GGL = Greg?
This is Eric, I lived in Austin and trained with Hughes. If this is Greg, then I saw part of your testing; Chinese New Year's 2000; right?

Used to hit up Pickens' class on Wednesdays; so one way or another i know of u, or u might know of me. :)

Saw Vinny at Taiji Legacy this year, he won the heavyweight division. Told me he left the school and was training Muay Thai to get used to the contact- but he won with mostly throws.

How you been bro? :)

[Ryu]

Lost-disciple,
I don't recall you addressing me personally with anything before, and if you did I am sure I would have responded like I do with everyone else. If I hadn't forgive me, but I do not "ignore" people unless they are truly out just to get a rise out of me.
I do not care if one has a school or not, the post was arrogant, cocky, and filled with self-tooting, and disrespect for the style compared.
I would have said the same exact thing if it had been a BJJ guy picking on a kungfu style, and in fact I have done just that in the past.

Thanks,
Ryu

[Braden]

I fought a Brazilian today. I thought they were supposed to be tough from all the streetfights or something.

It was outside a mall. He was like all sarcastic "Yeah, thanks for holding the door open for me" cause like I just walked in. Yeah, sorry YOUR MAJESTY. So I turn around and I give him a good shove to show him I mean business. THESE GUYS HAVE NO ROOT. He just slid back like four feet before he could stop. So I laughed, this was gonna be easy. Started at long range, pegging his shins with low kicks. This guy couldn't kick worth ****!! He didn't even try! I guess he shouldn't have spent all his training time on the ground!! ha ha! Then I was getting bored, and he wouldn't stop moving around, so I closed and started chain punching him in the face. HE COULD ONLY USE ONE HAND AT A TIME. It was all block, block, try to strike. I guess boxing ISN'T so good for stand-up, huh? LOL So finally I tackle him, drag him to the ground, and roll him over on his belly. He couldn't even put up a fight. I guess groundskills are no good when you're allready beat! He was just all "Dude, sorry... but my wheelchair is rolling into traffic... please, at least stop it!"

But then we went downtown and gave wrong directions to tourists for a few hours, so it was an ok night.

[Fish of Fury]

hey, stop it guys, i'm cracking up here!

OK i can resist no longer.

ahem...

i fought this lettuce today! what a weed! i thought those plants were sposed to be tough.
it was all like just staring me down arrogantly and refusing to move outta my way...so i just leapt in the air and took it down with a flying sidekick.
it had no root at all, and went totally limp like a ...er...like a...ummm...like a lettuce leaf!
then i had to leave.

but later we all went down to the Colon Clinic and had a recreational intestinal lavage, so it was a pretty good night!

[DragonzRage]

No Ryu, he's right! What a wake up call! I wanted to be just like royce gracie the undefeated UFC champion but now i realize how blind i am. Bjj doesn't have the devastatingly powerful throws of shuai chiao and it is easily defeated by the dreaded kung fu boot to the head. The confidence in my grappling ability has been shattered like a fragile vase beneath the proven might of Chinese kung fu. GGL's flawless victory has made me rethink my foolish beliefs that the majority of kung fu guys out there can't fight and that shuai chiao is like judo without any ground work or submissions. It scares me to know that there are kung fu fighters out there as powerful as GGL. My Muay thai/vale tudo fighter mentality has been permanently scarred and I now feel humbled and impotent and have glorious newfound respect for traditional styles. How could I have been so wrong???? :D :D :D

[neptunesfall]

what school did you shuai chiao sparring partner train at? just curious...

[brassmonkey]

As much as I originally thought this was a troll post I went and read a few of GGL's post and he might be on the level though he's probably reading into his lil victory too much. Dragon very sarcastic tone but somehow I suspect your post is how you truly feel just don't know it or willing to admit it.

[Fish of Fury]

just to clarify...
i don't think you're the bad guy Ryu. i also have nothing against the original poster. basically it's all just opinion, and it's all good.

i just relish the opportunity to make jokes about vegetables!

Okay. Here's my attempt at a Braden-style reply (funniest **** on this board by the way - GO BRADEN).

I fought a Power Ranger today. As you may know I live out here in Hollywood and I spotted one of these guys eating sushi at a restaurant in West Hollywood. I think it's the guy who wears the pink suit. Anyway, I thought these guys were supposed to be tough. HA!

First of all, I walked right up to him and smacked him up side the back of his head. Oh, I guess his "danger radar" wasn't working that day. :rolleyes: So anyway the guy's like a total puss about the whole thing and goes, "Hey if you wanted an autograph you could have just asked." He and his little Power Ranger wannabe friends just laughed and I guess I was supposed to feel stupid and walk away but I was like, fucck that, so I pinched the major nerve points at the base of his skull and stuffed his face right into a bowl of edamame.

So like one of his little buddies stands up to intervene (I think he might be the stunt double for the blue Ranger but I'm not sure) and I just sweep him right to the floor (GEE WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR ABILITY TO SUDDENLY LEAP 30 FEET INTO THE AIR HIT ME WITH A LIGHTNING BOLT???!!!). He must not have had any ground skills either 'cause then he panicked and just laid their like a slug hoping I wouldn't ground and pound him. I was more interested in this so-called Pink Power Ranger anyway.

So before the poor guy drowns in soy beans I yank his head out of the bowl, and get this, this freakin guy actually tries to KICK ME!! Can you believe it? A long range attack at stand-up grappling distance. What a moron. So I grab the guy's nuts and I swear I couldn't find anything there. HE TRIES TO KICK ME AGAIN, but this time I mantis hook the kick, tiger claw him in the face and he goes out like a light.

AND THESE GUYS ARE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT THE POPULATIONS OF EARTH FROM THE EVIL FORCES OF MUTANT WARLOCK DRONES FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION???!!!!!! Please. This guy didn't even have the basic grappling skills to handle a third grade, public school, lunch money extortionist without having to tap out!

But anyway, after the whole thing was said and done, rather than be a dick about it, I took the guy and his buddies down the street to their favorite local butt-loving watering hole and bought them all lap dances with an oiled up German guy named Hans (I think he's the set stand-in for Lorenzo Lamas in The Immortal). I'm gonna challenge him next week.

Anyway, it was a cool experience. And I learned how ineffective all that Hollywood chop saki really is when the the cameras aren't rolling AND THE OPPONENT ISN'T PAID TO TAKE A DIVE! I wasn't sure about the rumor that all the Power Ranger fights are fixed. BUT I KNOW NOW!! HA HA HA HA!! ;)

Here's a photo of me before for my NHB match against a similar water fowl in the 1999 Battle of the Banks 4. I'll admit that I wasn't prepared for the ferocity of that beak, and I submitted 32 seconds into the first round.

He just stared me down, like he was all bad, so I rushed in and immediately tried to stomp him. It had no effect, and he continued to scurry about so that he could mount an attack of his own. I wasn't going to give him the chance. I cornered him, tossed him with a powerful yama arashi, then went for the mount. I then began to wail on him with punches and elbows. He was still kicking, and I was tired, so I thought to myself "Well, this is NHB, so anything goes, and proceeded to get a broom. I wacked him with a few good shots, but there was no stopping this guy! My next thought was to break out a can of Raid and get him with my deadly "pesticide palm" technique. By the time I readied the technique, he had managed to get under a crack in the wall. His defense was awful, but he had some hellified iron body training! Those things really don't die. I screamed through the wall crack that I wanted a rematch, which he has yet to grant. I'll get him next time

neptune, :)
My post about the Shuai Chaio fight was not true.
I was doing it to show that a post like that is in bad taste. I think most people knew that.
I personally don't have anything against shuai chaio, I am actually interested in it, and am looking into it myself. Some of the throws are not necessarily just "judo" throws. They seem to have a lot more body lift and leverage throwing similar to different versions of judo's "ushiro goshi"
and that was one of my best moves anyway.
I like Shuai Chaio, but I don't like arrogance to the point of cutting down everyone.
Why do you think I make fun of Ralek when he does the same stuff about KF?

water dragon,

I just made that troll sounding post to mock his stupid post. Just doing a bit of smacktalking. Please don't take any of it in a serious light. I'm not here to troll on my kungfu brothers.

And for the record I agree with practically nothing Ralek has ever said.

[Lost_Disciple]

Don't get the wrong idea. I wasn't sayin you're the "bad guy". Like honeysmacks pointed out, i read all his other posts and not a troll among them. Plus, I'm pretty sure I know this guy in RL to boot.

Some of the post was somewhat disrespectful; but after all that's been dished out from the other side. I'm a bit understanding of a kung fu guy strutting after a victory- one I'm tempted to believe for the reasons stated above. Maybe it's still no excuse.

Here's the Lost_D, PC paraphrasing of where I think the post is coming from:
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>I've been told so many times that these guys, their style, and their training's the best thing on the planet. I was expecting a lot; this particular guy didn't deliver. I've now some cause to doubt the claims and insults that have been hurled at me & my school since the days of UFC 1. The guy and I are still cool though, we even went for a beer after.[/quote]

...or else it was a one-time troll post in the tradition of the "I sparred a kung fu guy at the gym" posts. hehe

Actually it was Johnny Hot Shot who used the term "troll" and probably the one I should've addressed. Sorry about maybe "goin after the wrong guy". You're pretty well respected on this board and your opinion probly holds a lotta weight. If GGL's who I think he is; he's a great guy too.

I like Shuai Chiao and Judo too. Think I'd probly like BJJ too, just wish there wasn't so much bashing coming out of that camp. I've had a couple tastes of Shuai Chiao, attending a few of the classes from this school (http://www.shuaichiao.org) and messin around with my San Da friend. I would LOVE to do a lot more someday.

OT, reading your other post- do you ever get any flak from hangin out with so many different asian groups? I've always experienced that my HK friends didn't mingle with my Taiwanese friends. Both groups had beef with the Japanese in general; unless it came to picking up girls. The Japanese had beef with the Koreans; and the Koreans I knew had beef with everyone. Maybe u don't have those problems, living in a bigger town with more to do. hehe

Lost_Disciple,
It's not a problem. I didn't mean to sound like I was bashing Shuai Chiao either. As I mentioned, I'm interested in the body-lock throwing I've seen from them, and want to study more of it.

As far as my friends, well no not really. It's true that my Taiwanese friends usually hang out with Taiwanese, and my Japanese friends hang out with Japanese, but they don't bad mouth each other. We all like hanging out together as well. :) No hatred between them. Though one of my HK friends can be a bit roasting of Japanese when he's not around any! :D

[MonkeySlap Too]

I got into a fight with myself today. I was in the bathroom shaving. I looked over the sink and there he was, holding a razor to my face. He looked real scary too, cause he had this white stuff all over his face like he had rabies or something. So I was like "You looking at me?" and I was all like "You looking at me, cause I'm the only one standing here." He didn't seem fazed, so I went for a throw, but it was like he wasn't there. So I punched him hard and he disapeared. I had to get 12 stitches in my hand from all the glass. What a loser, if I ever see him again...

Doctors remove live cockroach from woman’s nostril (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chennai/docs-remove-live-cockroach-from-womans-nostril/articleshow/56942752.cms?from=mdr)
TNN | Feb 2, 2017, 11.52PM IST

CHENNAI: For close to 12 hours, Selvi's nose sheltered a cockroach. Four hospital visits later, after a dozen hands prodded, coerced and pincered, it was brought out, alive.

The 42-year-old Injambakkam resident had woken up on Tuesday night with an itchy sensation in the nasal cavity. "At first, I thought I was coming down with a cold," said the homemaker. But, the obstacle began to wriggle and she was taken to a private hospital.

Doctors suspected a nasal growth. At a second hospital, a contraption was used to pump it out with water, but failed. At the third hospital, doctors attributed the discomfort to a "foreign body that seemed to be mobile", and recommended a scan.

On Wednesday morning, Selvi, who was struggling to breathe, was referred to Stanley Medical College and Hospital. Doctors in the ENT department used a endoscope and found the blob had a pair of antennae. "It was a full grown cockroach," said Dr M N Shankar, head of the department. It was in the nasal cavity between the eyes, close to the brain.

"It was alive. And it didn't seem to want to come out," said Dr Shankar.

When a suction apparatus was used, the insect clung to the tissues. "We had to use a combination of suction and forceps to finally pull it out," said Dr S Muthuchitra, part of the rescue team. The process lasted 45 minutes.

The department has in the past removed beads, a button cell, leech and chalk piece from nasal cavities. "But not a cockroach, especially not one this large," said Muthuchitra, showing the 'invader' on its back in a container, its wings spread and legs moving excitedly.

Man sprays insecticide into his ear to kill cockroach that had been stuck inside for 3 days (http://shanghaiist.com/2017/02/07/cockroach_ear.php)
BY ALEX LINDER IN NEWS ON FEB 7, 2017 6:00 PM

http://shanghaiist.com/attachments/alexlinder/cockroach_ear2.jpg

After exhausting all his other options, a Chengdu man decided to spray insecticide into his own ear in a last ditch effort to kill the cockroach that had taken up residence inside.
Over the preceding three days, the 60-year-old man had tried everything to evict the tiny pest from his ear canal. However, tooth picks, tweezers, and violently shaking his head back and forth all proved ineffective. At his wit's end, the man resolved to resort to chemical warfare.

http://shanghaiist.com/attachments/alexlinder/cockroach_ear4.jpg

While the bug spray did kill the cockroach, it also did some collateral damage to the man's own ear, causing his ear canal to swell up, trapping the dead bug inside, Oriental Daily reports.
Finally, the man was forced to go to the hospital to remove the carcass of his tiny foe. Doctors successfully extracted the 1cm-long bug and advised the man that next time he should just try pouring some mineral oil into his ear.

http://shanghaiist.com/attachments/alexlinder/cockroach_ear3.jpg

Of course, the man could have thought of worse ways to extract the cockroach. Back in 2014, one Taiwanese girl tried to kill a roach with fire, and ended up blowing up her office toilet.
