I'm honestly stunned by that. I don't even know what else to say. It's incredibly disturbing.

This is my opinion and my opinion alone. The chief instructor in these videos is no more a black belt than my electric can opener is! Just listening to his lecture is proof enough for me. I hope they find him and he gets his in a court of law!

:o

**Proof is on the floor!!!

Yeah, that was very disturbing. Those guys can rot in jail for all I care, and I hope they get caught and do.

People like that give martial arts a bad name for the 99.99% of the rest of us.

What's REALLY disturbing is that, back then, in the eighties, this Blythe guy was a dime a dozen. So many teachers felt and taught the way he did. Granted they may not have killed anyone..... or at the very least not recorded it, but they all thought a Karate black belt gave them cart blanche in life to do whatever to whoever. I remember going to tournaments back then, and hearing instructors yelling at the students to beat their opponent up or GET beat up themselves. It was crazy. However, it was part of the art for many at the time.

Even so, this video is disturbing in a very disturbing way.

His thoughts at the start on the dojo are very misguided from my experience. The club where i train and my martial art in general is extremely open and accomidating to visitors/new members of all levels of skill and interest.

Furthermore, the level of skill shown by the black belt is minimal at best and the most part of theassault is carried out using brute force and no skill aquired from careful study of martial arts.

disgraceful behavior
