Very nice, and I thank you for sharing them. I too, enjoyed what Thompson was speaking about in the time stamp that you've referred to; it's part of combat, as well, and effective, imho!!

Politically correct schools of the MA rob the reality of training, imho. "Please the customer", "the customer is always right", so on and so forth...hogwash. Yes, to a point that might be true, and those business maxims must be obeyed, but there's a time when the CI has to teach effectively away from all of the politically correct numbing for commercial sakes for the students sakes.

Imho!!

Great videos! Thanks for sharing! :)

I know the videos are somewhat old, but I would like to clarify on a point that one of the guys (Lawrence Tan I think?) was making about Kung Fu/Tai Chi vs. Karate. He was talking about how his art (Chinese kung fu) strikes like an iron ball on the end of a chain and karate strikes like an iron bar. In Matsubayashi-Ryu/Shorin-Ryu/Ti (Okinawan karate), gamaku (power generation) is indeed developed with the idea of striking like an iron ball on a chain, not an iron rod or bar. In my experience, all Okinawan karate styles develop power with this idea in mind.

:karate:

Remember the Tii!

Not had time to watch any yet. But stretching my memory back. Is this the one with John Blumming in it ?

If you believe in an ideal. You don't own it ; it owns you.

I.HATE.ITV with a passion.

The narrator knows NOTHING about what he's talking about. He thinks Martial Artists have 'powers'. Ugh...

"It's not the style that's important, it's the practitioner. No style is superior to the other if you practice and train hard, ANY style can be effective."
