 |  Funny article in BlackBelt Mag!!! Secondly, the techniques they are countering aren't even being done properly. It's in the 40th anniversary edition. Good for laughs.

| Every issue of Black Belt has ridiculous stuff like this. IMO the silliest stuff I ever saw was techniques that use a belt to ward off an attacker demonstrated by hapkido master Han Woong Kim. Not only were the techniques 100% ineffective but the article claimed that these were taught to advanced black belt students! HAHAHAHA |

 | I quit reading Black Belt mag when Billy Blanks was named one of the top 10 Martial Artist of all time. Or when Ken Shamrock was named fighter of the year. Do you smell something?

| There are some very arrogant views on this thread. Just because a technique is demonstrated differently than how you are familiar with it does not make it useless. Do all of you think that the only techniques that are effective are the few techniqes you have been shown? My, what an exclusive art you must train in! Ignorance like this is truly narrow minded. I am sorry, but I can't believe that any instructor would approve of their student spouting off like this.

| Since when does Shotokan teach ground techniques? The one article that will always stick in my mind is, "Is the pen mightier than the sword?" With some schmuck grabbing someone's leg and putting a pen against it. Black Belt has always been a f*ckin' joke.

| They can't even manipulate their own photography to make their techniques appear remotely workable. Give me a break! They're showing crap! Believe me, I know. I wasted years of my life learning the garbage. If reality hurts your feelings, I'm sorry. Better to know ahead of time it's crap than try it in a real fight.

|  Oh pleez!! Tracykarate do us all a favor and just stop posting here! No one said anything about only their techniques being superior! No one even said anything to directly degrade any particular style. This is a forum where the open discussion about practical martial arts is encouraged. People have the right to call them as they see them. If you had an ounce of understanding of what real fighting was about then it wouldn't be too hard for you to realize that a lot of the junk that gets printed in these MA mags is truly ridiculous. Why don't you at least take a look at the magazine articles before you accuse everyone of being so opinionated. Your high handed enlightened karate master BS is wearing pretty damn thin. Stop trying to hide your insecurities behind all the smug moralistic crap. Oh, and get lost. |
