I And if you still think my pt. about Penn is irrelevant, then so be it. I have a
1st amendment right to say something irrelevant. To hell with all this jkd crap anyway, when you can get the same or better results from other sources.

What Ammendment gives you the right to be a fukkin idiot?

Haw haw haw!


ps - I love that guy who wants to remain nameless "Purple Dragon" name. It conjurs up images of some Kung Fu fighters pet name for his penis.

This John dude is too funny. I have seen him and Rudy on other forums.

He, like his "firend Rudy" are full of sh*t hyopocrites. First, Rudy and john only just met and the reason John is defending Rudy is becasue Rudy said John is the only place that he will go is johns place (the funny thing is, John would never have even heard of this Lloyd/Rudy if he hadnot gone to the WNG camp.). And while I dont know tackett or anyone in the WNG, I would love to get his take on whether they really "asked" John to be part of their WNG...lol.

Hell, if not for the WNG, no one would even have inkling of who the lloyd/rudy thing is.

As to John not name-dropping, just go back a couple of threads on this forum to the one called "Seeking Pure JKD teacher" In, John posts the folowing (thank god he isnt into name dropping to back himself):

From the thread Seeking Pure JKD teacher:

Here is my school www.purpledragonstudio.com

I have trained with Steve Gloden - Jerry Poteet - Jesse Glover - Bob Bremer - Jim Sewell - Larry Hartsell - Dan Inosanto - Tim Tackett - Ted Wong - Herb Jackson......Just to name a few.

Check Us Out.

John

Sure seems like name dropping to me...lol. And interetsing that one of those names is Tacketts (also notice he drops Jesse Glovers name - he went to one seminar with him; once with Sewell; once with Bremer; once with Golden; ad nauseum; makes you wonder who he has trained with for any real time...real JKD man..lol). Makes you wonder how insecure a man is that cnstantly has to tell you how good he his and what he has done. Glad to see he is "keeping it real". Too bad he just isnt keeping it honest.

Mike, I love what you added...lol.

Absolutely and likewise. The Marina Del Rey connection is very possible …I’m usually out there once or twice per year. Depends on what time of year you’re west of left

[fayd]

Name's Eric Church ...damn glad to meet you.

[fayd]

A few of you already said it. It's a personal beef ...against him or a member of his "group" and he sipped the kool aid.

Couldn't agree more with your assessment. It's easy to talk and hard to step up ...especially when you're staring down a keyboard instead of the person(s) on the other end.

[fayd]

Just my .02, for what it's worth. This guy was seeking attention and won.

Train well...

[IPON]

If only it were so. Hey Rudy...there's a war on...why don't you prove to everybody just how big of a badass you are...join the fucking Marines.
Oh, wait...that's right, you'd have to learn humility and respect and aerobics. That could be difficult for a bumbling dumbshit.

Lloyd Kennedy and the CPSD are no longer affiliated with the “Wednesday Night Group” or any other JKD group or organization for the following reasons:

1. We are not sport.

2. We are not ring format.

3. We have nothing to prove, other than that we are solid instructors.

4. We are not trying to change anyone's way of training.

5. We don't train anyone under 18, sometimes 21, depending upon

the person's mental state.

6. We don't boast.

7. We don't answer political questions.

The only exceptions to this, and we do mean the only exceptions, are Sifu John McNabney in Detroit, Michigan, and Sifu Carl Lewis in Wales, UK.

The rest of you have shown no knowledge of the military, police, corrections, and have shown absolutely zero knowledge about real street situations. You would be better off teaching tetherball.

OK this is really silly...John why are you targeting Mike when it was your "friend" (?) Rudy who brought your name into the thread. Mike simply reiterated Rudy's statment. For you to ask someone to "NOT USE MY NAME" is silly. newpapers would be very thin if we could never use or reference a name.

The question I have is what is your issue. Your name was not used out of context, in fact there was no context except, again, what Rudy Rudy provided. Had he not included your name (and with such emphasis) it would not have been referenced. So yes you are posturing. It seems that you only responded to Mike just to argue and then you complain when people defend themselves.

Sorry to bust you bubble but the world doesn't revolve around you, Rudy and the WNG.

So now I have also used your name and now I am scared,frighted, terrified that you have warned the forum not to use your name. However, if the warning was just for Mike then you are REALLY strange and I don't have fear for my life...so that's cool.

Mike Brewer.....Please make a note for you own records.....I have never been part of the WNG....I met all of the WNG Group in Las Vegas Camp 2006....Tim wanted me to be part of his Group, which I turned it down....Now that said, I have been interested in Bruce Lee since "Kato", that I use to watch when I was a Kid....I was into Bruce Lee before many even had heard of him......The first time I heard of JKD was 1971, nine years later I started training in Old JKD.....Before that, I had already had 11 years of MA training....and was a 2nd Black Belt at the time....

John, I wasn't name dropping. I was pointing out that Rudy named you as the single, lone, and only exception to his tirade abotu the Wednesday Night Group, despite his claim that many others were left out of it. You were not mentioned for credibility, and you were not mentioned because of anything you bring to the table in particular. You were mentioned because Rudy chose to put your name in print to the exclusion of all others, and I could not make his contradiction clear without restating his own words. Please understand, I was quoting, not "name dropping." The difference is pretty elementary.

And while we're on the topic, how is it that someone who feels no need to name drop, what's this look like to you?



Followed quickly with:



John, I have no beef with you whatsoever. You're right. I don't even know you. But I'm sensing a common theme in this thread. The first element in the thread is the tendency for everyone involved to get all personally wrapped up in the idea that this is somehow about your martial arts ability. It's not, and it never has been. You can be the best fighter in the world and still be a tactless asshole. The second element is that each of the people on - and forgive me for using this term - "your side" of the argument seems to feel some primitive need to challenge anyone who doesn't agree to come out to wherever you live and fight about it. Rudy is calling for people to come to California, and now you're saying we should come find you in Michigan? What kind of kindergarten nonsense is coming out here?

I rather imagine that if someone took any of you guys up on the offer and came out to where you lived and just stomped the unholy living shit out of you, you'd also "invite" them to join you in court, or "invite" the police over to the scene.

The posturing is really tired, completely empty, totally transparent, and beneath someone who says he's had the kind of experience he has.

Look Mike, all I asked you to do is leave my name out of your post....As far as you thinking I don't know shit you better think again....I don't want to argue with you, but it sems you want to with me.....If you think your insults are hurting my feelings, than think again.......


It seem you don't practice what you preach, bro......Just look what you wrote.....I know you have a image here in this forum to up hold, for your people around here......Leave me out of it

What, in the name of Judas Priest, is this thread actually about??

It's about breakin' the law! Breakin' the law! Breakin' the law!

[Ghost]

I think he is trying to tie into the true meaning of JKD. In other words he feels that BJ Penn uses anything thus he is actually practicing JKD. On the other hand he lost me talking about the cops other than he lives in a "Police State" and is fed up with "Dirty Cops" and Police impersonators.

yeah i know what he meant mate, and in that sense i agree with him, but what im asking (and others) is what it has to do with the thread.

[Hardball]

but what on earth has this got to do with the thread.

i agree with michael this thread is so bizzare its unreal. fenwick, read the first post in this thread, then tell us what your post has to do with this. and then if you can tell us what the first equally unclear post in this thread means too please.

I am a mature and educated man who has no time to getting into a messageboard pissing match.
First, I was not there when Penn shoved the cop. I do
not know what happened.
But I do know that the media is full of stories warning citizens
not to fall for "blue light bandits." If an off-duty cop intervenes in a situation, he may be mistaken for a phony cop, especially if it a confused affair and he does not call for back-up. A real cop moonlighting as an extra for Ashton Kutcher's retarded Punked show was with phony cops when he got decked by some rapper. A real cop posing as a phony cop posing as a real cop, now tell me, in the heat of the moment, how a citizen could make the right decision? In the heat of the moment,could you tell a phony cop from an off-duty cop who is acting like king shit? Wrong decision, then a real off-duty cop arrests you, but a phony cop might draw and kill you. You are obviosuly not from Chicago, where all off-duty cops are gods above all laws.

Second, **** jkd. There are people out there who are better than Bruce ever was. If jkd is "whatever wins a streetfight," then Penn or Couture is better jkd than Bruce, or any of his students' students' students'.
And if you still think my pt. about Penn is irrelevant, then so be it. I have a
1st amendment right to say something irrelevant. To hell with all this jkd crap anyway, when you can get the same or better results from other sources.
