I’ll have to find the video. I’m pretty sure it was Burton Richardson that was demonstrating knife defense and sparring with his students. From what I remember, he gradually made it more dangerous and they gradually were more and more careful. Then he gave them those shock knives and they didn’t do much after that. The threat was imminent.
A lot of maists seriously underestimate knives. Even someone who is untrained but fully committed to using one is extremely dangerous, and generally not so easily disarmed as so many people seem to think.[/quote]

In TCMA, you have to learn the offense before you can learn the defense. The interest thing is, if you spend the 1st hour to teach offense, and spend the 2nd hour to teach defense, your students may ask you what will happen if they use what you taught them in the 2nd hour to against what you taught them in the 1st hour? What your answer will be?
Everything have counters. Only ability and experience can decide one way or another. Both require a lot of partner training time and partner testing.

This is the general problem. The strikers think they have all the answer to against grapplers. The grapplers also think they have all the answer to against strikers. Only until you have cross trained both. You start to look at everything from both directions.
Teach wrestling to counter wrestling. Nothing wrong with that (guy in white gi pants was smooth and definitely is a grappler)- This would be a good seminar for non-grapplers to attend.
On a side note, somebody needs to pay up their $5 to me so I can pay YKW the moniez I owe him!

I am guessing you never wrestled, because that stuff was wack
sprawl while trying to keep hand on back of neck and grab wrist! :rolleyes:
pummeling with elbows up
posture in pummeling
guy you love so much does a double, doesn’t use momentum, tries to PICK UP THE LEGS… meaning he doesn’t understand how the takedown really works
Showing leg takedowns with wrong hand placement, wrong head position etc
I could go on
This is the problem, people can go on youtbue and “fake it” to most people, but once you have studied real wrestling you learn how aweful most of the stuff on youtube really is

We may see things differently. For example, old school BJJ - Baiana. IS a pick up.
