There is an interesting tale from my experinces that racism almost kept me from training.

Yes, This subject was bought up in our Self Defense Class 20 years ago. We had bought in a lawyer to speak upon the matter. On rotation in our SD class, we always bought in other professionals: Lawyers, Policemen, Doctors, Pyschologists, and other Martial Art instructors from other style/schools.

How old is DM? How long has DM studied?

No, Confusing

No, that he was Chinese and practiced a Chinese Martial Art. I am not talking about the later Bruce

sorry, the pic under your name looks like a she

In self defense class, a married couple thought the "take-downs" were "kinky"

Many Many thanks

It hurts like hell

Shame on you.....he bought a lot of recognition to the Chinse arts. He had to be a good fighter to get recognition.

But why???? Does it have detremnetal effects in the future?

Got it BJJ.......

Yipee...finally someone thinks like me

you're late. We've already discussed this and various reasons why fights end up on the ground. Then this post is late and a re-hash

I agree. But a spinning backfast is good after a good block when used as a counter. But I have rearely seen it down in a bar room brawl or streetfight. I have down it only twice within 25 years. I am not wanting to do it again.

He had to be good at something because he is a recogonised icon.

I agree

I have seen an experinced JJ get punched in the face and KNOCKED OUT in a bar.

Pushups and "time-outs". If they don't straighten up....out they go.

Been there. Done that...And there are many others

Why didn't you have a way or place to check your credentials? Or did you?

I had a TKD instructor that was a bonified alcholic.

Sounds sensible

Good point

I agree
