    Just as Roger Mayweather said, “everybody wants to believes in bull sh*t and the right man will win, this is not a Rocky movie”…

    I'm not going to comment on the clips.

    However, I think this is worth watching:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSblALBeJrw
    "From a psychological point of view, demons represent the universal equivalents of the dark, cruel, animal depths of the mind. When we as martial artists are preparing ourselves to overcome our fear of domination at the hands of an opponent, we must go deep within our inner being and allow the darkest parts of ourselves to be revealed. In order to battle the monsters in an abyss, we must sometimes unleash the demon within" http://darkwingchun.wordpress.com/

    Constructive...

    Good enough for what it is.

    Hope you have them doing drills for

    keeping their hands up
    moving their feet
    putting their bodyweight into their punches

    though too...

    Happy Christmas (know you're not a Christian: nor am I, but in the spirit, eh? )

    Thumbs up He's Good, But One Dimensional

    He’s all right; he’s kinda one dimensional like Ricky Hatton, but hey as you can see that’s how he’s taught to fight… Hey, fighting like that, your bond to get out classed, but I hope he wins a lot before that happens or get a new trainer…

    I guess it’s a Detroit, Michigan thing, consistently fighting mostly in threes and fours and sometime five strikes per entry, consistently slipping punches and catching with the shoulders, like these Michigan born fighter, James “Lights Out Toney, Bernard “Super Bad” Mays, Thomas “Hit Man” Hearns and of course Mayweather Jr. and Oba Carr... Oh yeah, and yours truly, are all defensive fighters...

    Being a defensive fighter in the ring, will give the audience their moneys worth, no doubt on that… The names of this game is to catch and make them miss, don't get hit...

    Amir Khan is 'kinda one-dimensional'? Hark at the boxing expert! Who qualified you to pass that kind of judgment? I mean I know boxing has more than its fair share of sofa commentators but please, after the clips you've just put up...! Is this a seasonal competition with Victor to see who can say the most clueless classless nonsense about fighters who get out there?

    Have you ever boxed in the ring? What were your results?

    I use very similar VT actions like we see here, in boxing.

    Yeah, not only that but that cover position with the high left and low right is very much like a kwan sao (high tan, low bong) - different dynamics of course: the boxing ones are based on being punched full-speed and full-contact, the chun ones are mostly based on drills...

    It's nice though, nice cover especially for the ducking around: Mayweather uses it a helluva lot, and has a beautifully smooth fast switch from side-to-side... and it seems Ali's got his boys doing it nicely here too.

    We can debate a lot of things in the martial arts. In fact, I think it's our nature to search for something to argue over. However, I think you're doing great work here by giving young men something positive to direct their energies to. This training will serve them in many ways well into the future. At least that's how I see it.

    Peace,
    Bill

    You're absolutely right,Matrix. I happen to know for a fact that the training made this kid do a complete turn around. Grades skyrocketed, he set more mature and thoughtful priorities for himself, and he is a lot less withdrawn than when I first met him 3-4 years ago. He still goes through the regular teenage stuff like everybody. But he is commited and well aware of his goals.

    Yes, these are just the type of things I was referring to. What's interesting is that none of these attributes have anything to do with martial arts, per se, and yet they are produced by that training.
    These boys will look back on this training as one of the key times in their lives. I'm pretty sure of that. Keep up the great work!

    Its nice to see the youngins doing their thing....
    I have never been a fan of "slap pad work", no matter who does it, but that'sjust me.
    You should actually aim for the kids head when you are working on their ducking and try to have them put a little bit more on their combos and not just tap the mitts.

    I think that, unless you have a solid core in grappling:
    BB in Judo, Purple in BJJ or goo experience in freestyle and G-R wrestling, that you and yours would be better served to bring someone in for teaching grappling.

    He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !

    Like I said, just my two cents, I wasn't coached that way in boxing, but then again I wasn't much for 'dancing" in the ring so...
    Personal preference and all that.
    Good luck and I hope the kid goes far, but in regards to the grappling, its sound advice.

    He's got something from one of the lineages - but how much is the real question. Although you don't have to be a rocket scientist, after reading many of his posts over the last 3 years or so - and after watching some of the vids he put up on the "dont fight with matched leads" thread (or whatever it was called)...

    that his wing chun knowledge and skill is very limited. And who can forget that ridiculous thread he did trying to equate some fancy mathematical formula to wing chun principles and strategy?

    That was a real winner...


    ...and 20 something years of Gekko-Roman wrestling...
