Gene should organize a reality show featuring the martial artists from these forums. All the armchair warriors, wanna-be’s, has beens, and just-might-be’s…
can fight it out, tournament style. We’ll call it the UFC–“Ultimate Forum Championship”.
Well start out easy, like Lunghushan vs Iron Weasel…then the winner (me) moves up to Royal Dragon (we have to settle the posture debate, you know…).
After that on to the guys who actually train, like Ross and Sifu Parella, et al.
The winner of it all has to face the end guy: Knifefighter! (..so eat your chi-rios)
Have tryout. Forms, sparring, weapons forms, etc.
Narrow it down to 20 people.
Have them live in a mountain somewhere.
Have weekly physical challenges
Have viewers vote on 2 people to send to “The Chamber” Where they would spar. Loser goes home.
Oh wait, MTV had something similar called Final Fu with Ernie Reyes Jr.
Ok lets say I rent a film quality camera, and film it here in Austin. And anyone who wants can come. How should it be organized? And the only resources are my own, the participates, and maybe a local school or two. No corporate MTV budget. Say Youtube audience. The goal being to show martial arts in the best and most realistic fashion. How do I do it?

I’m in Akron, ohio…but I’ll be in S. carolina in July and NYC in early summer. I hope that give the San Da guys enough of time to train.
Seriously, tho…maybe we could each set up a bout with someone near…video it and compile a few bouts like that into “Round 1”. Then maybe a few of the victors will be willing to travel a bit.
