Brooklyn Smasher - Cold Steel Bat
I am becoming increasingly worried and a bit angry that my 2 baseball bats have not arrived yet, delivery time was 4-10 days, it’s now over 2 weeks ago.
Body snatching by Rick Hernandez
This is not meant as disrespect to his teacher, but the way Rick Hernandez moves is IMO more impressing that what I have seen from his teacher and mentor, even if it is similar it looks for me as it is on very different level and beautiful to watch and has that functional brutality combined with grace in his movements, the mindset he talks about in other videos is what comes closest to what I have learned from my best combative teacher and mentor Tom Sotis.
If AMOK! did not exist I am pretty sure that Rick Hernandez would be among my top 3 choices to spend all my time and energy to learn and evolve. But there is a limit to what I can train, as being a jack of all trades is not good as some claim, to much extreme specialisation is the road to evolutionary death of a species, having a solid platform and foundation is important and imperative, having more solid foundations in completely different areas is off course better, for me the ability to see solutions spontaneous from an understanding of how the body and mind works is crucial in my personal quest, I don’t want to collect techniques but understand why, how, when to do the what I do better and to pass that knowledge on to others.
I am more interested in the cause than the effects metaphorically, having a million techniques is IMHO inferior to a complete understandings of few basic body mechanics, many boast with how many techniques they know which I really don’t care about and often find silly, but seeing a person who from no matter whatever random position can act reflexive and can improvise a simple sophisticated functional solution that is not a perfected technique trained for many years is truly awe inspiring and my goal with training.

Tylenol May Ease Anxiety Over Death
Interesting article
as fear of death in combat can make you freeze and kill you, if the threat is known
before having the need to combat in very dangerous situations, this could take
away some of the negative pressure and have less to worry about emotional in
the situation.

How to train BJJ with an injured arm
As I have most of the time had injuries that prevented me from training specific activities I chose those martial arts that I could do with the current injury, the past 3 years my dominant arm has been severely injured, so this kind of information is useful to not only me but to anyone, as injuries will happen if one dies spend a lot of time in a non compliant martial art and even in a compliant martial art accidents happen as Murphy’s Law of Combat is ever present.

Bruce Lee Ted Thomas Interview Part 1
I am not and have never been a big fan of Bruce Lee as I didn’t like his movies, I must be one of the extremely few who have trained Wing Chun not due to become Bruce Lee or being a fan of him. My favourite martial artist where high level world champ Kyokushin fighters from the days with no weight class, as I knew how extremely painful it is to fight several fights at elimination tournaments in the same day, plus the gruelling fight test for getting a new belt, my last fight test was horrible as I was only 16 years old and to get my 1 kyu I had to fight 7 persons, full knock down rules, the last fight was against the former K1 champ Nicholas Pettas, with only a 5 minutes break after the fitness test that is extremely hard, the seniors get a day to recover and I was the first one for the fight tests, I could hardly sit down as the pain in my legs and the rest of the body was way too high, since I assumed it was a standard grading I pushed myself 100% all the way expecting a days rest. My Sensei wanted to prove that I could do the impossible and changed the test, I was a lab rat to see how far a kid could be pushed, I did get my belt and felt pride to have survived that hell that no other had ever done before or after, to have survived what most seniors would never be able to do, but later couldn’t handle that others got their belts with a days rest and protective gear in their fights. That was one of the reasons I left the club and searched for a new martial art, as I felt it had turned from a typical hardcore Japanese insane torture mentality to pure McDojo.
