This is very good. Thanx for the fantastic replies everyone (there is some new info for me to research), it's all very motivating :)

I also wish you all well in your weight/exercise programs and...

Well, as some of you would be aware, I'm trying to trim off a few pounds....I'm trying to get to my BMI 'ideal weight' of 147.4Lbs(67kg), so I can be military fit. Currently I weigh...

I agree with you.

One thing though. Do you think most average people would know to trap a guys arm and take him to the ground, mount and pound on him?

I thought most average folk went for a...

Ta for the link SevenStar :)

I didn't mean to imply that the two opponents were trained in martial arts. My point was more along the lines of, being a MA person and having to fight them. You see that's the thing, they obviously...

That's not what I was assuming. What I'm trying to say is that just because a person knows martial art, doesn't mean that he's superman.

That black guy is prolly quite a bit bigger than me. I...

mods, please excuse me for having to bypass the swear filter in my previous post. I didn't want to but it's the only way that people can see the link without having to register to the "General Mayhem...

Comments?

The fight video was posted on this forum over here.

See the video here.

If they aren't teaching the same art any longer, what are they teaching instead?--and what is wrong with what they teach that makes it so inferior to what your old teacher taught?

Also, were you...

I'm not referring to you specifically. I was just giving an example of how someone could think in a situation like that. I'm not saying YOU thought like that.

Sorry if I seemed to directly...

yeah, that is true to a large degree...If it were me I would always be asking questions--but that's just my nature..some other ppl aren't like that and may be more naive, which is why I can imagine...

That's a very good point. However, some instructors could have integrity but be thrown into this lie(if it is one) without realizing it is one, and honestly truly believe in the school and founding...

If the guy was a Tracy BB(hypothetically speaking), it'd mean that he's a pretty decent martial artist anyway right?--and kenpo is a decent street effective MA from what I've read.

I guess my...

I found something interesting here about sho shu...

It could be true and it would explain a lot of things.

sounds kinky--no wait, lol :p

Thing is though that you guys haven't actually seen what they do?...they may well be decent school but you're just going by what you can/can't find on the internet.

And no I don't go to the school...

the webpage for shou shu seems to be down as well...or not providing much information about the art.

Yeah, agreed.

I'll be the first to admit I'm a newbie to wing chun but I really like the stuff Grados has on his site.

I think more instructors should follow his example and put some demonstration techniques...

Owww that clip looks painful. I'm not sure if that's been posted here yet.

The WC guy got taken down almost immediately and spanked on the ground...ohh well...I'd been wanting to see that clip for...

Do you personally think though, that(in the vid) would be an effective technique for protecting against a hook?

Or what would you do differently?

What do ordinary boxers do to prevent a hook?...

This pretty much illustrates the particular technique I'm talking about....see the video here or the link below...

If I want to wear a cup I just wear two underwear and stick the cup in-between them...hope that doesn't sound too weird :o

edit: pressed quote instead of edit :(

Ok yeah you're probably right seeing that you're advising me to do so...I'll just edit my last post...
