You know, when they taught us how to throw a heaving line in boot camp, they should have expanded on it. Punching sailors with a monkey fist sounds like a missed opportunity
Good question! It was the original poster from the theater in Santa Barbara that the movie played at. We trained with the manager of the theater and later he gave us the poster.
Nunchuku, did not come from the Philippines, you are referring to a Tabak Toyok. I take it this comment was in relation to, Dan Inosanto, teaching, Bruce Lee how to use it? There is "shuang jie gun" in China and I am guessing the Okinawan weapon came from this.
Just recently founded this, and it's been pretty useful, thank you! I wanted to ask, I see you throwing not just specialized throwing knives but also just normal fixed ones, how do they not break? Mine always break, even more expensive and tough ones I did lots of batoning with, hahaha
Yes, if you hold someone under long enough... But that wasn't the point. The point was to look for the snapping motion of shaking water off of your hands.
Thanks for this tutorial, Sifu Jeremy - this was quite helpful for me! I'm just now coming upon my 1 year anniversary with training the Rope Dart! Looking forward to more of your tutorials!
I still don't get why to be disrespective towards other arts. Not every martial art's main point is to be as effective as a fighter as possible. Othervice we could all just own firearms. I personally do taekwondo and also strugle a bit with this idea that it isn't effective as a fighting art. But does it have to be ? Could there be some other reason to do stuff except being as lethal as possile ? Fun, perhaps ? Creativity ? Is capoeira's aim to be as succesful fighter as possible ? No. It's point is to have fun. As leisure activity's should be.
I appologize if it seemed disrespectful. It was not meant to be. Taekwondo is one of the main components to what we teach. We were simply looking at the history of the art and the differences between its different styles. Check out the other videos in this play list and you will see the rich history behind the art.
@@taichitwinsThanks for the input. Somehow it felt like this was another comparison of ITF to WT style like "look, they don't even hit to the head, now they are hugging." . I check out the rest of your stuff! Seems like good analysis. I mysef got frustrated of the lacking of bunkaI / explanation of the moves in the forms so I joined a shorinji-ryu karate school in my area which is really old school and concentrates on the bunkai.
Speaking as an old fencer (the only sport I ever enjoyed), we were trained to step *forward* when going en garde--it is definitely aggressive. Going en garde while stepping *back* sends a mixed message. Of course you are free to telegraph vulnerability if you wish.
Be Very Aware! Most of these “cane, and improvised weapon videos may end you up on the wrong side of a felony charge. Make sure you know your local laws and more importantly, your local district attorney’s interpretation and prosecution of those laws. If you do not have an existing mobility disability, a cane can be considered a deadly weapon, as are walking sticks, and cudgels. Remember a few years ago a senior citizen woman in a wheel chair was defending herself against an aggressive LEO and was charged with felony assault.
From an ergonomic (and physiotherapeutic) point of view, the cranes are simply too long. A relaxed walk is not possible. The crane usually serves as a support and is used as a walking aid with the arm almost outstretched. However, they are certainly suitable for self-defense.
