KOTF weekly.

Garland clean out your fing PM box.

done and done... lol
I had something like 280 messages in there. What the hell? Never cleaned it out before. No wonder I was having trouble getting pm's.

and Tant...karambit applications...
didn't see it before, but now I do.

very nice.

G. man...

Aside from a little Wing Chun and it's offshoots (wing tsun, etc) and people like Earl Montaigue, I don't think I've seen the applications for the Chinese martial arts explained in depth like this.

I appreciate your willingness to share your stuff like this. This gives me better perspective for the CMAs (most of what I'm used to seeing in the CMAs I pretty much readilly dismiss as impractical bunk or simply aesthetically pleasing coreography with little utility in a fight) but you seem to have worked your art to be REAL. That's important, man, and something most martial artists don't truly live up to.

Plus...I really like the elbows from the interview position.

When the hell am I going to see some knife work?

When you LOOK you will see it.

When someone has their arms crossed this way they may be simply hiding their WEAPON(s)...

Much of this style (FOOTWORK and angles) will apply perfectly with a reverse grip approach. take a look at that little hook blade in my avatar and consider again the implications and applications you could find here in his little video tutorial.

I'm digging it!

[kingoftheforest]

Here a little more application. It hit the cutting room floor but wouldn't stay down.

[Tant01]

On the contrary...

.....

I posted me using the technique on the hit pads, at the end of the vid.

It should give you an idea of the power and speed that go into the actual application.

Enjoy, and Tant hope you love those elbows. You might see a few old friends hiding in this concept.

I still suck at explaining this stuff to a camera.

LOL I think your explanations are adequate. Words have never really been my THING either. SEEING it is much better.

Love the tater chip thing! LOL

[kingoftheforest]

You wanna see........????

Garland clean out your fing PM box.

[kingoftheforest]

I usually watch twice. Once to see what he's presenting and again to glean potential cutting mayhem.

Thank your wife for me, eh KOTF?

She said no problem.

[Tant01]

It's in there...

I have Boar, stabbychick and TTe, for that ability. Most people have mentor, I have tormentors.

Fights aren't pretty that's for sure. Watch two animals fight, there's nothing pretty or graceful there, just violent and fluid.

And most importantly quick.

Plus...I really like the elbows from the interview position.

I'm glad I got that lesson early on. I was bouncing at the time and someone in class mentioned hand positions in those situations.

This was basically what we got. On drunks it works like a charm. You got 'em out the door before they know the hit the lot.

Works good on sober people too. You just got to pop them up side the head every few seconds to remind them whose, steering.

When the hell am I going to see some knife work?

I'll have to work up to that. I have to add more knife into my training and bring the wife up to par before I film anything like that.

Then there's the moral dilemma of putting that kind of thing out for anyone with a net connection.
We'll see.

Get to stepin'

Here we go. A new week. This vid was an editing nightmare. I shot it in 6 different segments and then pasted the pertinent parts together.


I posted me using the technique on the hit pads, at the end of the vid.

[kingoftheforest]

And what did we learn? LOL

I think giving up my knife would be worse than losing a finger.

I almost lost my pinkie to that knife.


Just finished filming, might make it to the edit room tonite, on the boards tomorrow afternoon at the latest.

[Tant01]

I sold my K-bit a while back and damn am I sorry.


I need to find another decent one that isn't too $$$$

....................bump. Reminds me of how I "play" with my kids.

And why I love my karambits.

Had to look again

So I did post in the other thread this week, but since I already had some stuff recorded lets kick off the first Sunday of KOTF weekly.

BJJexpertise here you go.


In my first vid I had some dummy work in it. A couple people didn't understand the exercises so here are the applications for them.

Enjoy.

YouTube - dummy work
