watch the one above first

Yanagiryuken is master of Daitouryu-aikido.
He uses mysterious 'KI'power.
He says that he has never defeated though he fought 200 times in Vale Tudo.
You need to pay 500,000 yen to fight with him.
But if you defeated him, he will pay 1,000,000 yen to you.

.....Ouch.

[JkD187]

He got owned by a begining C level Pancrase fighter!! LMAO.

Although obviously the first video is bullshit, I wanted to see the old man beat the challenger down in the second video, with real strikes/techniques of course, but still, could you just imagine... gets punched like that and responds with a CroCopEsque high Kick... that woulda been a funny turn of events.

[Paco]

WTF was that? "An exhibition? We need emotional content..."

Makes you wonder what is the point of training and worrying about physical condition or injuries if there really were arts that you don't have to touch the other person... See the Dillman posts on this.

What's scarier is that there are young and seemingly able-bodied people who buy into this shite and act like they're having convulsions when the old man waves his hands.

[13ang]

Its so weird that people actualy respond to it. Do they somehow believe it so strongly that their body makes it happen?

I remember wondering about this after I watched the Dillman movies.

who would win between him and george dillman

[DickHardman]

i dont understand what the point of this was. did that old guy really just want to get knocked out and lose 1,000,000 yen? or did he really believe for a fraction of a second that all that nonsense he was doing was gonna actually work?

[Tom Yum]

who would win between him and george dillman

It depends on the position of the moon, time of day and position of their toungue in the mouth...


Actually George Dillman would kick his butt. Dillman actually hits his volunteers, allbeit they are standing still and not fighting back. The aiki guy waves his arms.

[DJColdfusion]

I'm sure the old guy thought he was going to take it. When I was a TMA guy I was absolutely positive that I was the biggest badass walking on two legs.

Then I met Mike Brewer and the bruises still haven't healed.

Sparring with Mike was a lot like . . . well . . . it was a lot like this -->>

It really hurts when all of your delusions suddenly come crashing down.

[Garland]

That shark thing kicks ass.

[Tom Yum]

LOL. That shark graphic was funny in a scary sort of way.

[DJColdfusion]

Sorry 'bout that DJ.

I sincerely hope I left you with more than bruises, though.

It happens in one way or another to most people at some time in their lives and there are really only two ways to handle it: #1 Denial ("he cheated, I was poisioned by his dark chi power, if I hadn't been sick I would have kicked his a$$!" or #2 Acceptance, you got whooped. So what? You made at least one mistake, perhaps more than one, and you've just been given the chance to correct your course and move forward. Call it an opportunity to learn and to grow.

I feel lucky that I wasn't as far along the path of delusion as the gentleman in the videos above was. When you're that far gone is there really any way back?

[Tom Yum]

#2 Acceptance, you got whooped. So what? You made at least one mistake, perhaps more than one, and you've just been given the chance to correct your course and move forward. Call it an opportunity to learn and to grow.

DJ, did you ever see the fight between Rick Roufus and Kiatsongrit?

Roufus was an American kickboxer fighting with American Kickboxing rules and got smoked by Kiatsongrit. He accepted his beating, learned from it and moved on. He's a pretty bad ass fighter now, even in his late 30's?

[Clint Bronson]

hey.

Dillman is that the guy who has books that are super thick and has plastic over them and charges $40.00? He suppose to use some death pinch and break ice blocks with his pinky???
