from our friends at the Ashida Kim site
Hey I'm bored.
This is from a guy supposedly called Scot Davis who does "combat jiu-jitsu" (no relation to Walt Bayless I don't think)
what do you think?
I posted a response too. (hehe)(Scot Davis's post)
I got an e-mail yesterday about someone claiming they wanted me to fight them, because they were pissed at what I had to say on this forum. So I replied and it turned out he trained at a Bujinkan dojo near where I live in Maine. Anyway, we decided to meet at a park near us and fight.
He showed up with 3 friends and I showed up with some friends of mine that take American Combat Jiujitsu with me. He held a shodan in the Bujinkan, and I guess he was't even
a instructor yet, but he was a rather short skinny guy.
We started and I went for a shoot towards his feet, and I started to take him off balance, when he did this backward roll and flipped me over and he landed on top of me.
Now he was on top, and I felt trapped, so I did a ground
dismount in which he rolled out of also.
We ended up standing again, so I took a swing at his face,
and he punched my arm on the inside of my elbow, which
hurt like hell.
He followed up with a punch to my face and a shoulder armbar
which took me back on the ground.
I was starting to feel like I couldn't do anything to this guy, when I finally hit him in the jaw while he was on top. Let's just say that was a mistake, because he got pissed and
started hammering me with no place to go.
His friends and my friends pulled us off each other, and the
fight was over.
We are now friends, and we decided to squash any beef we
might of had.
Anyway my views have changed and I now have respect for the
Bujinkan fighting style.
This guy wasn't even a instructor yet, and he was good.
He moved in a very calm relaxed way, that almost looked like
he wasn't trying.
Scince then we decided to get together once in a while and
train. I am really interested in training in the Bujinkan after I woke up to the truth. I guess the pictures that I posted do the system little
justice, even though he did get into ichimonji no kamae,
and his arm was out there for me to grab, actually grabbing
it was nearly impossible.
Anyway, just thought I would report my embarrassing butt kicking.

Hehe,sounds like you gotta work on your grappling skills little buddy
It sounds like you don't have a good shoot. Clinching is a safer bet in the street because you can make contact with the entire body in preparations for suplexes or ushiro goshi type throws. I'd suggest some wrestling/judo and BJJ training in your repoitire...but I have a feeling this isn't real, and is another guy doing the Koga/Bujinkan thing again. Take care
