KOTF weekly.

[kingoftheforest]

From the vid "the first exercise I was doing on the dummy was hubud"

I neither typed nor said that in the vid.

Let's see "da Pope"s video of HIM training. At least KOTF puts his stuff out there.
On my first day of training with my teacher, he handed me a jump rope. I wonder how that would look on tape!

And yes, it's pretty obvious Fatty Eargrind went and got some friends to join in bashing KOTF.....

OK so KOTF and some guy arent getting on. That is of no concern to me I am watching the vids from the perspective of my own MA experience.

So if we could discuss the merits of some of the stuff shown......????

I am open to discussion, if what I am saying is blatantly wrong or I am misunderstanding some principle then lets talk about it. Rather than trying to insinuate some sort of ad hominiem attack by proxy.

Maybe you should watch the vid?

Hubud is an FMA staple and FMAs are most definitly concerned about knives...

I am not trying hard to discredit him I am just calling what I am seeing. Isnt the idea of a forum to share experience?

Why do you feel the need to stiffle my concerns about his vids?

He even asked in one of his posts if anybody had any concerns......well I do!!!

[mellow]

Around the 1:30 mark on the first vid.....EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!

Could anybody tell me why that is a complete NO NO?

Domestice violence is against the law?

[mellow]

I'll be frank...

If I went to any school purporting to teach knife defense and I saw what you posted in the first vid, I would leave immediatly.

The reason I say that is due to you mentioning hubud and then doing techiques that would guarentee a good slicing up.

eg on more than one occassion not keeping to the outside of uke's arm and exposing your brachial arties....bad.....very bad!!!

There are many things I saw in the vid that give rise to many similar concerns.....

Why are you trying so hard to discredit this young man? I said hubud, he didn't. Neither one of us mentioned anything about knife. . . . .

Interesting....which CMAs and FMAs out of interest?

[kingoftheforest]

It's a variation of parts taken from forms of KF, JJJ, Judo, Escrima, and some African styles.

Also mixed in are some WWII combatives and modern fighting techniques.

[Da Pope]

Lol. Good thing I don't do WC.

Your not wrong!

What are the main influences on the system your learn?

[kingoftheforest]

LOL, yeah I know. I saw FMA hubud with CMA style palms on that dummy exercise. Nice leg check too. But I have to agree, your Wing Chun is terrible.

Wing Chun net police LOL

So it isnt OK to look at something somebody posted in public and to comment on it?

LOL, you got censored by the Wing Chun 'net police! I can almost here Boar in the background saying "See, I told you some BS like that was going to happen".

Damn you got good ears.


Well there's always ignore if it comes to it.



BTW we use what is called "bird vision". Where you watch you opponent but not directly look at them.

In the vid I can see where I am on the dummy at all times.
