I agree with almost all your takes, especially about the pp stuff. I have to disagree with your last statement though, as I know a few folks who have fought many times in the street (as a defender...

Regardless of classification, we are all humans and brothers and sisters. We are One and the same, but self-hatred is rampant, therefore we have the religio-politico dynamics that there are. There is...
Haha, no doubt bruh! WTF was homey trying to say? Uhh, he lists his MA as Feng Shui Zhuan. Job= Secret Administrator. There you have it. Methinks, me smells a TROLL!
NONETOOSWIFTNESS abounds 7*!...
- head instructor looks like he's been on a hunger strike for a couple of years
- students kiai after every technique
- LACK of realistic forms training and realistic bunkai (application)
-...
Imagine if you were close friend with a legend like Bruce Lee. Obviously Bruce knew how to pick friends and vice-versa. When Mr. Coburn gets to heaven he'll be in like our man Flynt, pun intended......
Speaking of Nas, how the hell do you digress lyrically. That first album is classic, the others just bubblegum. I guess with no AZ to write with you and the words ain't there. as for Illest MC ever,...
In my opinion, Isshin Ryu is a much better style to train in than ANY Japanese karate. Who was/is your sensei? My sensei has a lot of Isshin friends. There is a reason that the Marines use Okinawan...
Could just as easily be "Shalom" or "peace be with you".
I am Muslim, Buddhist, Taoist, Christian, Hebrew and Scientist, hahaha! Religion is so shizophrenic. The same message, different messenger....
Good stuff, but some of it was missing....
AAU and USKA sponsored tourneys allow punches to the face, sweeps/takedowns and hard contact. Some USKA tourneys allow sweeps and leg kicks now, as well as face contact with a straight punch. You can...
Uhhh, all good B-Boys, Martial Artists and B-Ballers get high off something. If they ain't drinkers they're smokers (or both), and if they ain't doing that they're addicted to epinephrine...
Alaikum Asalaam! BTW what style(s) of karate did you study (for 4 years)? For commercial purposes, like selling "Inside Kung-Fu" mags, you are correct. Kyokushinkai (and K1) is the best sport karate...
There is no doubt that Oyama was a tough guy. The truth about his "colorful" history is another thing. Someone mentioned that he left Shotokan because of their lack of hard sparring. I don't know how...
The stance that he described is the traditional boxing stance. Some folks adopt a longer stance, a wide, shorter stance or no set stance at all. Guys like Pernell Whitker and Roy Jones use a...
I have to agree with you here. The fact is that there are many rare arts out there that are still going strong. Just because you don't know of somethings existence doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

When I first started really learning how to fight my first instructor would tell me to run if I could. He emphasized avoiding physicality as much as possible. When I turned 18 I had just finished my...
No doubt, bruh', no doubt!!! Listen ya'll, Ken is washed up, and Tito thinks he's all that. The reality is they are juiced-up cattle boys, who know very little about real MAs and can do nothing but...
Someone has a memory here. Anyways, Ryron and Renner Gracie have won many a Sport GJJ tourney with standing cross-collar chokes (Gyaku-Juji-Jime or Reverse Cross Lock in Judo). In a couple of...
Ah-ha! There's the rub. Altruism is definitely a rarity, especially amongst business types. MMAs and NHB, as well as every style of MA, is mostly about $$$. What's a good pitch for this "business"?...
Truthfully, compared to this forum, they do have it going on. I would have to agree about the esoteric vs. the physics proof stuff. Both are inclusive, though. Again I say, Formulating an entirely...
I may be mistaken. If you guys are saying that Kosen concentrates on groundwork, then I'm saying Maeda (who was also a pro-wrestler) was a Kosen specialist. Maybe it wasn't called Kosen, but from you...
Wow! You guys must be awesome. There is no way I could even get a solid blow in with my standup teacher. He just waxes me. I don't know if it's internal or external, but his external shots do...
Kodokan Judo schools in the 70s and 80s taught a well-rounded fighting art. I remember doing lots of Kihon (basics) which included dynamics of movement and posture training, Ukemi (breakfalls),...
Being a boxer is not easy. I never said that. Boxing principles have a lot of merit as far as punching and movement is concerned. Karate and Chuan Fa types should understand this.
As for my use of...
Standards change constantly. It may seem like a long-time (in our estimation) before "groundbreaking" theories about fighting surface (or resurface). It's a continuum. Change is a constant. The...
