I'd like the help of the board experts here on my first post. I tried posting this over on Sonnon's forum, but I didn't receive a satisfactory reply.
I'd like to know from REAL people and not paid endorsements people who have trained with Scott in his style of Russian martial art. Is this legit or is it just some composite of rehashed traditional martial arts with a scientific spin?
Don't get all in a huff. I'm not a troll, but I call it like I see it. Who here has actually seen Scott fight and who here has actually fought him? If he can't fight, then in my opinion it's all just smoke and mirrors.
I'd like to hear REAL practical applications people have made from personally studying under him, not any evangelical praises about a large vocabulary.
Last question. What can I learn from Scott that I can't learn from someone else and paying my annual dues for my library card? Is there ANYTHING unique about Scott's style, or is it all just repackaged?
I have to admit I'm getting quite annoyed with this Russian martial arts mystique with the special forces card played way too much, the no-touch psychic combat, Sombo wrestling (it's a fricking SPORT!), weird movement, contradictory breathing, faith healing, remote viewing, causing sleep, and of course pseudoscientific jargon everywhere. I'd like to know about hte MAN not the madness. What's the REAL story on the guy?
Flocks (and emphasizing FLOCKS) of his students talked about how hes the biggest baddass but none could answer how what he does is unique and what he could teach that an authentic master does not.
I respect candor and honesty which is why I do not wear gloves when I ask questions. I expect the same in return.
