Uhhh, <cough, cough>
I like Mr. Grover / McCaan. His SWAMP needs work but everything else is solid.
Have you looked at Bas Rutten lately?

Look at those slaps! He puts them out with those sissy slaps!
What is wrong with Grover's SWAMP? If you look at his vid, he can't even do it according to theory.
Weapon first comes before 'plunge' which is the drop step / body weight transfer. No one I know can hit effectively with their hand and still have the step happen AFTER the hand starts. Hands are just too fast.
I teach to start the step first, hold the hand back until the step and the hand can hit at the same time. So what if the step telegraphs you are entering; your hand can't move first or it hits with no power and then the power step happens!
I don't remember where it is in this vid set but he steps first, and hits as the step lands in one place, then remembers swamp and corrects himself to start the hit and then step but in natural life, it just doesn't work.
The rest of his stuff is totally butch, I like it a lot!!!
