The big lesson I learned is to take risks, work hard and reach out and take it, it's all waiting there if you want it bad enough and don't let fear stop you. Nice ! :D I always said to myself that I didn't want to wake up at 50 and say I wasted my life because I didn't try things. My parents split ...

Stryke, chill a little. My previous post wasn't addressed to you. I think your specific comments on ground fighting on this thread, regarding the posted fight video, have been right on and I know you really get it. So, we should be cool. 8)

Basically, I expect people to be as respectful on my forum as if they were speaking in person in the company of strangers and that they be mindful of the fact that youth are probably reading many of these discussions. So far this has worked well for me. Dana, that sounds very reasonable and I am gl...

Stryke, sorry for the confusion - I was trying to make a friendly bet of 5 smiley faces.

Laird - if you think I live in some kind of illusion about violence in life you're sorely mistaken. If you think I train with an expectation that bystanders will save me you're again mistaken. You don't know me very well at all and I think that shows up pretty clearly in the way you post. You've go...

BJJ skills? I saw streetfighter. I didn't see anything else. Good streetfighter, and definitely good enough to take the fight. A good street fighter will use the formal principles of any fighting system. They just won't exactly categorize them and dissect them the way we're doing on these forums. T...

Re: Wushu Staff Tape

I received a Wushu Staff forms tape for Christmas. The giver obviously knew as little about Wushu as I do. This is not traditional Okinawan kobudo :? The performers display an exceptionally high level of acrobatic ability. The staff seems to be fiberglass or composed of a very light material. Sever...
