cymry Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 Have any of you guys bought videos from this company? I made my first purchase with them a couple weeks ago - what I've seen impresses me. The moves are pretty simple and quick to learn, but they really work. If you can make any comments about their videos, especially the new Larry Wick set, please do so.

JerryLove Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 You've only just baught from them and you've already gotten in a fight and used stuff from the video? Against whom did they work? https://www.clearsilat.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymry Posted October 7, 2003 Author Share Posted October 7, 2003 No, I mean I've tried them in training and it's really caught my training buddies offguard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryLove Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 Could it be that they are not used to it as much as they are used to wht you have been doing against them for a long time now? https://www.clearsilat.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treebranch Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 Join a school, any school. Save the videos for later when you've learned the basics.

cymry Posted October 20, 2003 Author Share Posted October 20, 2003 Okay, let's try to get the convo going again. Here's an example of a move from another TRS video, namely 'Fight to in' by Jim West. Chin Blast - good for when a big guy is threatening you or you're backed up. 1. Place your hand on your attacker's chest as if trying o calm him down. Look submissive. 2. Flip your hand around, and drive your elbow up into his chin, using your legs for more power. 3. Follow up with a strike to the groin or throat. Pretty basic techniques for us martial artists, but put into a scenario where they could be used very effectively and simply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryLove Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 OK. Chin blast. If you have let an opponent into elbow range without actually egageing him, then you have put yourself in uneccairy danger. Your plan is too slow to be a reaction, and is illegal as an opening action. https://www.clearsilat.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymry Posted October 20, 2003 Author Share Posted October 20, 2003 Most fights begin with some sort of verbal attack first. This will be at conversation range, about 18 inches. If you cannot verbally diffuse the situation and cannot escape, and you know it's going to get physical, you are legally justified to end the threat. Read 'The Fence' or 'Fighting Without Fighting' by Geoff Thompson. This guy is an expert of fight psychology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
