I like the videos they post on youtube, but this one is a bit strange, empty hand vs knife, knife vs knife, knife vs any weapon can be justified, but this one is hard to explain to a judge and jury that you had to kill a person sitting next to you, unless its an revenge based execution or contract kill.

Headbutts Silence Wannabe Tough Guy
Headbutt from mount position is impossible to defend if
both wrist/arms are pinned to the ground, difficult to defend from the guard with
no training but at least there a lot more options to avoid a headbutt.
Real silambam fight
The guy with what looks like a ballerina skirt looks a bit silly, but the video is interesting and still makes me more determined to find long staffs to train with. India
My Mad Methods is a great website for those who are interested MMA, BJJ, grappling, kettlebell and functional strength. Their subscriptions, DVD and gear store is excellent.

SHASTAR VIDIYA @ TMAS 2012
A demo by Nihang Niddar Singh that demonstrates some aspects of Sanatan Shastarvidiya during one event, even if many disagree with him, me too on some points, he has a lot of wisdom to offer and shows a tribal warrior culture and not a martial art, that only recently has been showed to the public.

Martial Arts Airport Action
As a KFM fan I like to see that they do seminars with other systems, this shows that they don’t have the, we know all and the only true answer attitude. This approach is far superior and not only more constructive but also opens ones eyes for other way to solve the same problem.
JT Torres - Sneaky Sweep from X-Guard - BJJ Weekly Issue #105
JT Torres continúes this week with a follow up technique from issue 104. From sit up guard, JT makes an inside hook. He demonstrates a transition into x-guard and finishes with a sweep. Remember, trust the position but don't wait around. Keep your opponent off balance and then execute the sweep.

Filipino Martial Arts: Missing the point
Very good article, I like that he criticise without
naming what style he is describing as BS, FMA is the leading martial art in
politics full of lies and trash talk, I respect this way of dealing with it as
this can be used to view any kind of style that are similar to what he
describes. I don’t agree with him 100% and believe that some of his points are
wrong, but I will leave that up to the readers to what extent they agree with
the article. To read it click on the link below.

Portuguese Stickfighting JOGO DO PAU
This looks like our last weekends training only difference is that we go for the hands, elbow or head with each blow and try to avoid stick on stick contact, only go for stick on body part or a counter attack that besides parrying will hit the opponent with 1 strike.
We use the Super Stiff Flex Stick 31" - Gray Wrapped Handle from the Dog Brothers web shop. This allows us to do sparring with full power, hockey gloves, forearm/elbow protection and helmet is a must, it will not break bones but leave bruises and bulges on the skull.

Billy Robinson - Sakuraba is one of my boys and a real CACC wrestler
Having trained BJJ and was amazed when I saw the beginning of the UFC, I was sure that BJJ was the ultimate grappling system.
Kazushi Sakuraba is one of my favourite MMA fighters a real CACC wrestler and the first one to win against all the Gracie’s and their best fighters and made it look like a walk in the park.
Watching DVD’s with Billy Robinson has completely changed my view on grappling, this is not a gentle art as Judo, Judo is an effective grappling system that formed the base for BJJ, but Catch-as-Catch-Can Wrestling is brutal and IMO my favourite grappling style a true
NHB style.

Weak Men Pay This Boxing Coach Eric Kelly To Tell Them They Are Terrible...
LOL funny video but I have to disagree, I believe that I can teach anyone how to fight, some learn faster or slower than others. It’s not always only the student’s fault that he sucks, but also the coach’s attitude towards his students, his ability to teach and pass on his knowledge. I have proved this a few times during the years I have been teaching various styles of martial arts.

The Dart-Throwing Motion of the Wrist: Is It Unique to Humans?
This is also a very informative article as the
previous one.
Evolution of the human hand: the role of throwing and clubbing
A really interesting article, for our group it is even
more important, as we favour natural genetically imbedded skillset as throwing
to learn how to punch with the least amount of training.

Sometimes less is more, in this case I would never buy such a monstrous multi tool Swiss army knife, I would rather learn how to use the full potential of how to use a knife as a tool and toolmaker.

RUSSIAN STYLES -- VOIN System
Reading about the founder of this system, one thing strikes
me is that he mentions he has attended a lot of seminars during the 90ties in
Russia, being one of the most racist countries my guess is that not many Philippine
martial arts clubs are prevalent, attending seminars is by no means a guarantee
of quality and in many cases expensive toilet paper.
He is a qualified Systema
instructor of the original style and not the one practiced in many countries
outside Russia

Sanatan Shastarvidiya - Spring 2012 Seminar - Pt1
I remember watching a documentary with Richard Dawkins where he interviewed a scientist about how the eye works and that it had a blind spot, this was used as a counterargument against the intelligent design argument of the perfection of the eye’s design was the proof of a creator, but this flaw was not very favourable to the human species and hence not perfect.
I had since then tried to find a way to use this information to combat, how to attack from the right angle so the opponent could not see it coming. My interest in biology and evolution has helped me a lot to explain some simple facts, as why do our peripheral vision expand with 15 degree, which IMO is very simple not that long ago in a biological evolutionary timescale we used to hunt by looking down to track our prey and not step on a scorpion, snake or other things that are not healthy for anyone, if our peripheral vision was narrowed instead of expand we would be easy prey ourselves if we didn’t spot danger fast enough.
Seeing this used by Sanatan Shastarvidiya was what I had been looking for in many years, I was just about to read Steven Pinker’s book “Visual Cognition” to see if there was more info about this, but the worst and extremely most boring chapter I have ever read was the chapter “The Mind’s Eye” in his other book “How the Mind Works” where there was not any of the information I was searching for.

Four Sources on Messer Combat
There are a lot of similarities between FMA and European medieval combat arts, which should not be a surprise since we are built the same way there will be similar solutions to the same problems.

ESPN Amazing Games - Chinese Wrestling
This is very interesting as this type of wrestling competition is new to me, even more interesting as many martial artist don’t link China with wrestling, the boxing styles are more famous and schools can be found in nearly every country. To my knowledge I have never seen or heard of any place where this form of Chinese wrestling is taught.

Armbar from Guard: the Three Most Common Errors
Stephan Kesting has also a lot of good youtube videos to view, he sells a 5 DVD's set from his website. Reading what he has trained is impressive:
My name is Stephan Kesting, and I'm a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu blackbelt, and have been doing martial arts for over 30 years.
I'm also a certified instructor in Erik Paulson's Combat Submission Wrestling, a blackbelt in Kajukenbo Karate, an instructor in Dan Inosanto's Jun Fan JKD, Maphalindo Silat and Filipino Martial Arts program. I've also studied Japanese Judo, Russian Sambo, various Chinese Kung Fu systems, Brazilian Capoeira, Muay Thai Kickboxing, and many other martial arts.
