You gained my lasting respect for that move! Great move coach!

I apologize for coming down on you earlier. Just got worked up a bit getting pressed on by everyone.

Good for you! And all the...

I aint a newbie now though.

Not making any excuses. As I said, I totally credit guys who I admit outclassed me.

Also pointing out that there's many factors that go into a fight. And when you're new and not involved with the...

If there was one fight that I felt legit robbed it was my last one in NJ before I moved. I lost a 3 round decision to Eric Koller, who unfortunately died in a motorbike accident a couple months...

St. Cloud outmatched me, period. That guy was good and tough and won the whole tournament..... and yes, he did cut like 20lbs.

I learned a lot from those first very fights. It took like 4 or 5...

Just to make it clear. Scroll down. Ross's man fought 2/18/06, 6/10/06 and then me on 9/02/06.

I'm not even arguing that I lost or that it wasn't fair. I'm saying the guy wasn't a six month newbie as implied.

I'm not ashamed of losing. Everybody loses fights sometime. The only time I feel...

The amateur MMA scene today is at a completely different level than it was 10-15 years ago.

I know guys personally who racked up "MMA" wins 8 to 10 years ago fighting cops in the ring, tough guys...

I respect his ability as a coach and what he's done for the sport.

He's a liar for saying a student of six months beat me when his sanctioned record clearly shows he had two MMA fights before my...

Again, your watching video and hearing comments about my performance and training from over 5 years ago.

I'll give Ross credit, after his guy beat me I joined Renzo's the next weekend. I wasn't...

I'm a BJJ purple belt now.

Which video did you see?

The one I posted has me jamming, wedging, following and generally beating people. In and out of the ring.

Not saying I'm great. Not saying I'm a master or even good....

[QUOTE=bawang;1134854]basically you got milked for 10 years, tried to use movie kung fu and lost, and your ego cant take it.

Which video did you see?

That's exactly what I'm asking for. Where are these fighting masters with technique to reference?


Principles are the foundation of techniques which in turn make up a style. It's starts with...

Agreed



I have zero background in Muay Thai. I also have zero background in Lacross. But I can distinguish it from field hockey, where I also have no experience. As a fighter, I have spent time...

And now you're a professional coach? I'm told here I'm not suited to discuss Wing Chun after as many years of study

... my first MMA fight was in Sept. of 2006. Yours?





I'm sorry about...

And this is all I'm saying: I'm a lifetime student of martial arts. I'm intellectual, not a thug. A college grad with a job as a writer... yet what I have learned has allowed me to go out and at...

I saw one video years ago of him on a lei tei. I give anyone respect for stepping up, so I'll leave it at that. COuldn't find any sanctioned record though. Were the fights San Da or MMA?

For the...

That's true... but that's not how you judge someone's martial art.

His man beat me fair and square. And I admire what coach Ross has done as far as his team. With that said, he paired me, an internal stylist with no MMA experience or wrestling experience with his...

I'm complaining that the martial world should be martial, that I have proven my technique in real combat where other masters only do demo video and that Ross, if he's going to take a higher stance...

I think those things are a hindrance, when it's forced or decorative.

What I mean by this is that I train BJJ in Puerto Rico. I'm learning BJJ but I'm hanging out with Ricans, there's guys playing...

I played football and other sports my whole life in a very mixed community Newark, NJ. I had Asian friends.... so athletic showers.

There's also a thing called Asian porn:D

If it's the one with the two videos posted above he looks very good!!!!! Very disciplined in his movements. Power. Aggression.... looks pretty fierce.

One thing though, in the one video when they...

Thai Boxing kicks, striking and clinch. Fundamental throws.
