Thank you for the post. That video was quite interesting.
Ditto. And, I think this has been pointed out before.
Blank-fire-only training is extremely limited and its benefits even more so. For one thing, while a good part of progressive training, it does NOT account for changes in angles of fire, especially...
A lot of these fighters train to exploit a downed opponent almost as a "knee jerk" reaction. How many times have we seen a fighter that is hit, falls to the ground, yet his opponent delays - or is...
Well, I imagine you already know the news by now (as it is the next day after the fight). But, I was really worried about the Brit for a few minutes there; I feared he would have permanent damage...
Neil, excellent post, considering the value of this thread. I am considering starting similar threads and stopping by occasionally to "stir the pot" with one sentence interjections and indirectly...
So, Rick ... have you found your answer, or do you have anything to add to this thread?
I'm just wondering if your inquiry was a Socratic method that would enable you to enter into a discussion...
Well, I hope someone can give you one.

Your answer would be in this article. You can use the search option in the main page with the word "founder".

Anyway ...
Duke Meade has a very traditional looking dojo here in Columbus, GA. It was hard to find the place, mainly because I was looking for a "school". Literally, he teaches out of a dojo he...
It's been years since I don't post on this forum. Has anyone heard of a gentleman by the name of Duke Meade in regards to teaching Asayama Ichiden Ryu in the USA?
Here is his website....
Chris,
I remember when I had the same concerns. I remember how I constantly read/heard how tough Takamatsu was and how tough Hatsumi, Tanemura and Manaka trained. Then, I used to look at how...
I remember that a moderator in the Karate forum (here on E-budo) had started a discussion along the lines you have proposed above. I think it would be good to add to that discussion, already...
That's awesome, sergeant! Take care of that shoulder, I injured my rotator cuff a few years ago and it keeps coming back. I am currently doing a stint as an instructor at the Special Warfare Center...
Jeff, how are you? Good to see you are still "kicking" (or throwing people around).
If you re-read my post above, you will see this qualifier: "Unless we are going to make a point as part of a...
Kit, thanks for posting the link.
I thought this was an old study. About six years ago we were briefed the same information that this study reveals by the SERE psychologist when we completed the...
Personally, I care very little if the recipient was hurt in the exchange - it was not like he put an apple on his head and said "Ok, shoot it off." Anyway, it was not my point.
Being deployed...
I was not there either (you can reiterate that fact in your response to this as well). But, simply, why participate in something that, honestly, you know to be BS? What would be the reason? You...
Kyoshi Coleman,
I just saw the video yesterday. First, it was obviously produced with great care and I did not feel like any of it was over done. There was a great deal of balance in the content...
Mr. Coleman,
The trailer looked great. I have just finished purchasing the DVD and I'm looking forward to seeing it when it arrives. Congratulations on this achievement.

I read the initial post, but not all the responses. Why? Because this question comes up, in one way or another, at least twice a year.

My heartfelt condolences to the entire Gracie family and to the martial arts world as a whole. This man truly had a tremendous impact in martial arts anyway you cut it.
