Hey, good stuff man. Any chance of a civil discussion? Or must I really fight you to prove a point? Come on now.
Listen, I'm just being honest here. I am calling you out for being too sensitive, challenging everyone who disagrees with you, and being blatantly dishonest with yourself faced with criticism. You can't possibly think that everyone who wasn't impressed by little guys hitting a big guy must be a part of a conspiracy theory to discredit you.
Your discussion, rather I should say argument, style is what's called Red Herring. When faced with a question or criticism, you change the subject like you are doing now and are asking me what my qualifications are. That wasn't the point, you did not see me get on here and say I do iron body better than you, or your kung fu sucks, or whatever. I have no obligation to answer your silly interrogation, but let's go through this a little bit and see what we can do, OK?

Let me start out with asking you who are you?
Since I am not challenging you or saying my kung fu is better, this is irrelevant. But I've publicly identified myself a number of times and am not afraid of saying who I am, except in the case of a big guy who obviously wants to beat me up. Look around mate and figure it out, heck maybe you can track me down to my house and burn it down. Seriously, who is trolling here?

Who is your teacher that teaches privately? That sometimes can be a red flag as many people who do not want to be public usually have something to hide.
No, not at all. My teacher chooses to remain off of forums, specifically because of people like you. I respect my teacher and won't talk any more of it.

What style do you train in?
I apologize for the screen name, but aside from "JJ" being my initials, "Mantis" is my style.
Quote:
How long have your trained in this style?
Since 1996. Overall training since 1988, been on a personal hiatus since 2004. Yes I will still throw down if you like, but I will say again I'm not the one saying I can do it better than you.
Quote:
Do you have Iron Palm and Iron Vest training?
Minimal, more as a hobby. Does that matter? As a hobbyist in martial arts in general, does that make my opinion invalid? Does that make me unable to see that you are a big dude and can probably withstand medium power strikes from guys smaller than you?
Quote:
If so how long have you been training and teaching them?
See my above answer. Also, when did I claim to teach this stuff?

As I mentioned in the other thread, I invite you and uki to come try me out. I assume you are in CT from the history of your posts.
I have lived in CT, and may live there again some day. I can tell you now you are bigger than I am, and can probably withstand what I can dish out.

I despise uki for his remarks on the cop that was killed thread.
**EDIT** I missed this point the first time I read your post, my apologies.
Quote:
Why are you defending this clown?
I went looking for the rivalry between you and Uki, and assumed it was due to iron palm / iron body. So I read this thread, and didn't see a comment from uki. That is all. The rest of my comments were on your video, and your harsh behavior. Shifu.
Uki aside, I wonder why you acted the way you did towards others in this thread? I was just more honest and called you out a little bit. If you weren't making outrageous claims and wanted to fight everyone that didn't agree with you, I wouldn't think of calling out a martial arts teacher like that. Do you think you've over reacted at all, ever, or are you without blame? I am very willing to meet on some common ground and not fight you, are you big enough to do the same?
