off topic, I actually met zab. He was cool, but I had an altercation with his brother. had to put him out of a club I was working.

the hacking you mentioned is called a bolo punch in some fma circles. the first thai boxing school I trained at also taught kali, wing chun and jkd, so we were taught that punch, but they made it...
