how old are you?

You should watch it. I was dreading watching it because I thought the techniques wouldn't work but the way he sets them up it'd be hard to get them NOT to work. Like he'd set up a triangle and before sinking it in he'd go for a wrist lock when least expected. He also showed competition footage of his first no-gi match in which the OTHER guy tried a wrist lock on him. He was like, "that's my trick!" He still won, but he kinda sold me to the idea that people do try to use this shit in competition.

i might well grab a copy of that, i saw a few clips on youtube and he does seem very good as a teacher, articulate and its all very clear and he knows his stuff.

looking forward to the dvd now.

IF it works, an i mean against fully resisting people that arent his students.

Will do. Roy Dean is amazing. He manages to take this aikido stuff which seems completely ineffective and show you how to make it work against resistance. He rocks. I'll post the review soon.

LOL. I turn 30 in March... Actually kind of a scary year for me, but only because Sylvia Plath was a childhood hero.

Um imitation is the highest form of flattery, but it sounds like you need to step away from the stove.
