KF, care to comment on the comment about different police in different cultures having to train differently

I think MMA.TV probably has a LEO Ground forum. That would be the place to get the best answers for that. I'm betting most officers will tell you that all LEO unarmed hand to hand training is pretty limited unless the officers are training on their own.

Before this gets any hotter... I honestly think you should all take it down a notch. Revere has a lot of training with military guys in China. Interesting stuff, stuff you don't see too often around here. For Hau and Revere, Knifefighter is no keyboard warrior. He's a legit BJJ black belt and a dog brother. He knows weapons, particularly blades. KF comes off harsh at times, but he's probably cute and cuddly in person (ok, maybe not)

It's great that he's a BJJ guy. His art style isn't of any consequence to me whatsoever. Also, I wasn't "challenging him to a fight to the death", obviously... If he's skilled then I'm even MORE eager to roll with him and see what he knows.

My point is that with 3000 posts (many of them inflammatory), it's an easy thing to sit back and be a ***** without knowing the first thing about the person you're being a ***** to. It's not like Dennis is some unknown or that his "lineage" or even his course material is questionable. It's a standard case of "I'm on the Internet and can say whatever I want with no fear of consequence and very little chance of ever having to back up what I say". Regardless of his real life skill, that STILL makes him a keyboard warrior

My offer still stands... If you're in Cowtown in the future I'm definitely up for crossing hands. At the worst, I get to see how it's "really done", right? So what's to lose?

Wait wait wait... you're posting a clip of you sport fighting?!?

Hahahahah... alright man. You sure showed me.

Cheers!

Anxiously awaits non-sport, full-contact "combat" fighting clips from yet more kung fu clowns.

Of which there are NEVER any.

Yawn...

oh well, at least I tried.......

How does someone being "known" or having lineage have anything to do with the fact that what was shown on that video was BS?

From a non-expert:

Punching the knife hand I think would be fine if you're going to run. I would expect a slashed forearm from that groin shot. I'd prefer to grab if I could to control and so I know exactly where it is at all times.

The 2 handed knee block in the clinch can be seen in any number of UFC fights (notably Rich Franklin's latest). Personally, I try to avoid having both hands in the same place whenever possible.

The elbow after the knee block seems a little weak, can't see it having much effect. I would go immediately to a throw over the left knee.

All in all not what I would do but I guess it depends on what you're used to and comfortable with. I'm sure my way feels awkward or not right to others.

Interesting none the less. I'm always up for different perspectives.

As far as police training, at least in this country, based on the guys I know they don't seem to get much. I think most get their training outside the job or learn as they go.

Just a thought, instead of the insults, bashing and challenges how about analyzing the moves in the clip. Pros? Cons? Defenses?

Gene, I think I originally got that translation from Justin.

Anyway, to try to bring some productivity to the thread, I wanted to ask Knifefighter what he considers good knife defense. Obviously, it's a ****ty situation to begin with, but if you had to, what could we consider some high-percentage techniques? I'm going to assume that Knifefighter's screen name reflects experience with the weapon.

Also, this is a question for everybody: How do you practice weapon defense? I've never done much in CMA classes, only escrima. I'm interested in hearing some different methods...

[David Jamieson]

Knife, you really need to lay off whatever drugs you're on dude. Holy jebas you are a negative hissy fit waiting to happen.

how does your liver feel with all that hatre and bile coursing through it?

If you really hate cma so much, why do you oput yourself into places like a kungfu forum?

your video clips that have been posted show you to be doing whatever it is that you think is good I guess. And that's cool, but your negative intionations are quite constant and all the time.


I am surprised at the amount of time Rovere has spent on this one form. kudos. you must really be comfortable with it back forth upside down by now. I've known this form for over 10 years now and still play it now and again. It indeed has good applications in it.

I just want to know when posting video on the internet became the indicator of if something has happened or not.

Head over to the training for the street thread... maybe we can get some good discussions going over there
And hopefully the guys who don't train for real will stay out of it.

Weapons defense should be practiced hard, as close to real as possible, and in a variety of situations from outside to close in to grappling to groundfighting.

wow. although there are some similarities and some exact same moves, the version I learned is very different from those two and each of those is different from the other as well!

that's real interesting.
