[QUOTE=Yum Cha;700169]Knifefighter you are skeptical as to the truth, well, that’s your perogative. [/QUOTE]
There were a series of unlikely events, each, by itself, having a low probability of occurring.
A knife wielding opponent was incapacitated without a scratch on the victim.
The techniques used were textbook- right out of the forms from his deadly martial arts training.
The defender managed to break the attackers arm.
Not only was the elbow broken, the jaw was broken, again with a textbook technique.
All of this took under 10 seconds.
Law enforcement authorities saw fit to arrest the person who was attacked on excessive force charges, even though he was attacked with a deadly weapon.
Prosecutors took the case to court even though it was a case of self-defense and had the possibility of being vilified by the press.
As you can see by the responses on this thread, the average person is highly incensed by charging the victim with a crime. The press eats this stuff up, yet there was no press coverage of this prosecution.
The jury found the defendant not guilty, but the judge elected to force the victim to pay the attackers medical bills even though this type of decision would normally be decided in a separate, civil trial.
When added together, the odds of all of these things occurring is infinitesimal. Of course I am skeptical. I would think most rational people would be skeptical also.
Hows it going matey?? TCMA is the REAL MMA and more just that most kung fu schools dont teach modern day type reality and will do one step attack and defense LMAO!! This is why i have ago at TCMA in ways, an i teach TCMA but i believe and try and show it in reality rather in one step or taking a certain posture etc.
I agree that if you do unrealistic practice, the pudding will be unrealistic.
I am a firm believer in training basics to the utmost and drilling techniques from simple ABC through resisting slightly all the way to free sparring practice with and without protective gear.
It is unfortunate that TCMA has such a reputation because of so many dancey shaolin wushu schools and flimsy new-age hippies…good TCMA looks good, feels good, and certainly isn’t limited to that!
I got a story thats just as F***ed up My brothers baby’s mom tried to shoot him in front of the children. she missed ( thank God) my brother choked her out… and got charged w/ strangulation. If thats not self defence I don’t know what is. He didn’t get convicted but she didn’t even get charged w/ anything…ANYTHING AT ALL and they (the court) even had pictures of the bullet hole.

Yeah I dunno … crap happens all the time. I once got arrested for a drunk in public because I was being a nice guy and walking a drunk friend home. No test or anything, just stick you in the drunk tank overnight.
