"Yes, I do have a better understanding of how to train than most TMAists "



--Prove it.:p

I am not claiming anything of the sort. I have never made any claims of my abilities at all. I am merely saying -- and try to follow this -- is that we should not follow people who can't do it. ...

It's equally amusing that you "claim" to understand how to throw a ball, but when asked for video of you throwing the ball, your answer is that you don't have to because you yourself don't personally...

The HB certainly has to do with fighting, there is a direct correlation between the attributes you develop with the HB and what you do in fighting. If there wasn't , you or any boxer wouldn't be...

Wow, a whole tournament was built around "training wheels" with limited usefulness!

And didn't you say Alan and his guys train it for tradition's sake alone? Wow, a whole tournament organized...

This is the truth. The best MMAists maximize the rule set. If what they currently do in the ring works, why change it other than to keep getting better at the same methods. There is a whole world...

Yes, I would have a bone to pick with Gamboa. IF he was the one who just trolled Sifu Rodriguez. If not, then Gamboa has my apologies. I shouldn't have jumped the gun. Whoever the troll is, libel...

Retracted.

He is at war with the strawman he created. When you folks bring up specific examples that refute him, he redirects to his strawman. Unless you neatly fit within the strawman, you should disregard...

Grappling for a few months isn't going to make Rudy a grappler. In fact, it would have given him a false sense of security thinking he could actually handle himself on the ground, very dangerous...

LOL. I'll try to keep this simple for you.

1. How do you judge the type of sparring I do? How do you know what type of fighter the friend I have is, other than labeling him a strawman TJJ. No...

"Mantis King" is what he calls himself. I think his posts over there indicate that he includes northen mantis in his kingdom, in addition to jook lum and chu gar. I guess you don't agree.:cool:

I know exactly what I'm talking about. You assume I'm speaking from theory. Did I ever mention to you one of my sparring partners has 30 years in Japanese Jujitsu? Go ahead, make your assumptions....

If Orr says chi sao helps him with x, y and z, the both of you would still be shaking your head with your eyes closed

Had to repeat that.

Shall we listen to the waterboy/cheerleader or the guy...

That's one way to look at it. I'm not talking about the other things they do; I'm talking about chi sao. Try to focus.
He has competition experience. He does all the things you MMAists advocate-...

"Call him out? Are you serious? He wouldn't fight a little girl. None of the grandmasters would. Because then we'd see what little in the way of skills they really have and their livlihood would go...

Uh, actually, it's very logical. When a person makes personal attacks, we look at the person making them. When a person judges, we look at that person's qualifications to judge...or criticize.

[QUOTE=t_niehoff;793467]Yup.



"It's never been a question of what I can do or can't do. I don't hold myself out as an authority (no title, no school, etc.) or as anyone particularly skilled. ...

Come on, you're not stupid. Every member is responsible for the group they belong to and elders have the responsibility to lay the smackdown when someone makes them look bad. They did that with...

Please....
You mentioned he is most likely in Hung Mun. Makes sense. Any doubt he's from NY or his affiliation with the mantis folks? If he's a part of Hung Mun, his behavior reflects badly on...

Sad and pathetic on the part of Hung Mun then to have created Truthman.:rolleyes:

When I boxed, my trainer spent a lot of time with me, and very little with others, some of whom were there much longer. Why? Because he liked me. He showed me things that he didn't teach to the...

Sorry, didn't mean you were a sucker. Others on this thread, though.

Ha! Not only that, big difference between speaking poor English and writing poor English! If you believe the persona he has created, you're a sucker. Geez, so what if he has a few kernals of truth-...
