I would like to see CroCop vs. Vanderlei Silva, Mas Oyama vs. Gichin Funakoshi and Royce Gracie vs. Mike Tyson.

I thought this would make an interesting thread. To anyone who doesn't know, HAPV was a phrase coined by the famous Patrick McCarthy, to describe common techniques used in physical attacks. Someone choose a HAPV and we'll discuss it for a while. I'll start... Person A pushes Person B, Person B responds with a right roundhouse punch to the head.

Load up my Action Replay cheat cartridge and turn the Agents Die With One Karate Chop cheat.

Yeah, he's pretty in-your-face. Don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. But his products are very good.

Personally I would get in close, hit with a few lower limb destructions (foot stomps etc) to destroy his mobility/balance/power, then blast him with head butts and elbows to the face. If I needed I'd grab his hair and twist his neck, to put him down on the ground.

It's not really how loud, but how forceful or quick the exhale is. You can do it quietly and it's still forceful. You do it quickly at the point of impact. Your muscles tense, it makes the strike more powerful.

Please elaborate.

Parry one arm down, knee to the face, DDT!

I'm buying them because (here's the kicker) Clugston believes he has surpassed what Bruce Lee was doing! I had to check that out.

I'm gonna buy his videos and train the material that's given. It will be a while but I'll tell you when I'm done.

I think they're saying that because they're targeting the general public as well as MAs. We would take that for granted, but someone with no MA experience would not think about these type of things. Anyway, it looks like he has lots of satisfied customers. Check out his website at https://www.theburst.com . Read the testimonials or check out the message board. (I think the user VALETE is Chris Clugston.)

Anyone own any of his videos? Been to any seminars/lessons of his? Been on the receiving end of his techniques? Anything, please post!

I would say that Pankration is a mix of boxing, ju-jitsu and Greco-Roman wrestling. There are some kicks but not that many.

I have bought some more TRS videos. This time, Bob Taylor "Small Man's Advantage". The ad is rather awful as is to be expected from TRS, but the content of the video is very good.

Can armlocking techniques work against a stronger opponent? I don't see what you could do if he resists.

http://trsdirect.com/product.php?sku=CG-77 Read the ad. I really don't know what to think. You might think I'm stupid, but I'm going to order it. I'm pretty sue it's * so I'll tell you all once I've got it. Plus I can send it back

Okay sorry, I was getting over-enthusiastic.

Has anyone bought the Gama fitness material from the Matt Furey website?

Does anyone know what Furey's catch wrestling is like? He has a big instructional package on his website, if anyone's bought it give us your comments.

What are you saying Hybrid?

The terrible thing is, the ads often contradict what the instructors say on the tapes. All the tapes I own of theirs have the instructors saying "train these techniques", "with enough disciplined practise" and so on.

They're made by a company called TRS. Their ads are awful, just AWFUL, but believe it or not, they have some of the best material available, if you can see past the marketing hype.

Both of the little Asian masters use ropes to stretch the VD characters' legs into a split.

Big guy grabs you. DO NOT PULL AWAY. DO NOT ATTACK HIS ARMS. You have to move FORWARD always. Stick your fingers into the base of his throat. Push as you move forward. If you need, collapse your hand into a fist. He will let go. If you have a comb, rake it across his neck. Pull his head down by the hair. Strike to the base of the skull. NEVER FIGHT HIS STRENGTH. Once he has let go, run like hell.
