    I don't know why anyone would want to sit through that tedious monologue. At least he didn't go totally off the wall this time ...I guess. I was too bored to watch the whole thing.

    If Richard can claim PTSD from Viet Nam, I guess I can use ADD (attention deficit disorder) as my excuse. Post more fight vids. YAY.

    Opening 30 seconds when describing the biu jee he does, he says "that form is totally a little bit different but is basically the same" - lol

    C'mon. It's clear that he meant to say that it is completely and partially distinct while remaining identical, except for the details or concepts. Now why pick on the guy for trying to say that?

    Apparently I need to stop my negative comments about others training in a fashion for self-defense that will get them hurt, and instead spend my time doing hundreds of hours of chi sau and 1000 chain punches a day. That apparently will help me more in a "real fight".

    Oh, and WCK flowing uniforms will make me look fat even if I'm not.

    Who knew?

    Definitely maybe agree, I kind of think.

    What he said wasn't that bad, though he's not the first to have said it.

    IMO this info would be better presented in a written article rather than a monologue to video, with pictures or short videos used if necessary to demonstrate salient points. Hendrik take note.

    I'd only want to watch someone talking to camera or doing a form if they looked like this:

    I knew Richard Guerra since 1973. He has a nickname "Richard the Tiger". I didn't have chance to spar with him, but I have heard that he is a good street fighter. One of his students later on became my student. I know he can stand behind his words.

    I like what he was tring to say (may not be exactly the same words):

    - You are free from your style.
    - Your enemy will not be another WC guy.
    - Test your skill against other styles.
    - Don't criticize others. Just train hard yourself.
    - ...
