KOTF weekly.

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. . . . .

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?

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

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!!!

[Da Pope]

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.

I neither typed nor said that in the vid.

I refer you to time frame 35 seconds to 42 seconds in the first video.

I"m looking for the knives you were talking about.

[Da Pope]

I"m looking for the knives you were talking about.

You are reffered to post #51 wherein I link the concept of hubud to knives.

[kingoftheforest]

I"m looking for the knives you were talking about.

Also I never once mention knives or hubud in any language.

[Da Pope]

Do you have any FMA background mellow?

If that is the case what is it you are saying between 35-42 seconds in the first vid?

Here's a reference for you too Dictionary.com

You're spelling is horrendous.

Hubud doesn't neccessarily deal with knives, and isn't always the best option technically speaking since it is merely a drill to teach flow.

Enough to know you are grasping at straws. . . . .
