Starting the far queue
I am waiting for someone to say how sucky the takedown attempt was.
Merryprankster?
Ryu?
Anyone?

the takedown sucked
Actually, I liked the takedown, it reminds me of tani otoshi. I don't know if I like the way he stopped the double leg though...seems like the guy could plowed through him if he hadn't stopped driving his legs.

the very last clip (water strider applications) was pretty **** cool.

Excellent stuff, liked the multiple attacker stuff, the guy has excellent movement.
With water strider application he was a bit flash, lots of wasted movements.
He went to the outside and had the guys arm and went over the top to strike the head, but then switched under to elbow, and then switched all the around his lead leg for the throw.
From the head strike he should have taken the lead knee and put him in a reverse head-lock.
From the elbow he should have done a 'bow-and-arrow' chin na and taken him over his knee.
N.b. I definately don't think I'm better than him, I'm just critiquing the application as an exercise for my own learning (and sharing in the hope that someone else has some opinions.)

It makes me mad when people say I turned and ran like a scared rabbit. Maybe it was like an angry rabbit, who was going to fight in another fight, away from the first fight.

I didn't see all of em (stupid dialup! But I get cable next week!) however, I did really like the three on one clip, especially when he threw the one guy against the wall and while he still had the had, turned around and body checked him backwards. How did he do that without giving up a choke, though?

Yeah, excellent clips and good site. Very nice ideas.
Re: the multiple attacker scenario, .. well, the attackers didn't really give all their greatest (that's what it seems like anyway), but I don't think that was the point. I think the point was more in demonstrating the principles of fighting multiple opponents. That was done very well. Very cool.

That multiple attacker clip was one of the more realistic ones I have seen.
From a development standpoint that site actually has a very poor layout.

yes, the multiple attacker clip was nice...I especially like how he lightly kicked the guy in the foot near the end, and tripped him LOL
as for the water strider application, I just didn't like the way he pulled his arm all the way back to chamber his strike to the belly (I always look for short distance power). Anyway, his attack to the head, the one that sents the other guy's hair waving showed impressive control...
Overall, I think the clips are great...
Risk 0 doesn't exist.

i think that strike was supposed to be a hit and an elbow.
i'll have to go back and look again.

yeah...pretty sure it's an elbow strike (he pulled it?) into a whipping forearm hit to the stomach. watch it closely in the slo mo.

That takedown attempt would definately be like something you'd see in a real world fight in that it lacked any technique what-so-ever. The guy just dived in and tried to grab his waste. A trained "wrestler" would perform some kind of penetration step and grab behind the knees while staying centered and then driving through with his trailing leg to either to follow-up on a counter or to turn the guy to the ground.
BTW, I'm not attacking the guy. Somebody just asked for an opinion on the takedown. A pure BJJ could perform a 100% better "leg tackle" as that, and they mostly suck.
