I can't watch 'fight' movies.  I cringe as I watch actors try to punch... marveling at how they take 6 months to get their 'abs' in order, but can't take 5 minutes to learn how to throw a hook without slapping flamboyantly.

In the world of martial arts, there are many frauds.  Try an Aikido 'throw' in a street-fight, and tell me how that goes for you.  When you're done scraping yourself off of the pavement, punch yourself in the face for being a silly person.

I know that I promised to release a series of videos on the 'Human Weak Points' starting today, but as I sat down to edit yesterday, my son decided to do execute a swan dive several feet onto a concrete floor.

After several weeks of Jiu Jitsu instruction, it's about time to make a return to some good old-fashioned street fighting beatdowns... with underlying technical mastery, of course.

Last week I sent you a clip of a girl triangle choking the crap out of a bunch of boys (who admittedly didn't fight THAT hard to keep their heads out of her crotch).

Last week I sent out a highlight reel of a gentleman known as the "Crazy Horse"... and if you didn't see it, you missed an epic display of people getting picked up off the ground and slammed into things... much to their dismay.

I'm usually not a big fan of 'unorthodox' techniques.  I find power within simplicity, and then find clever ways to make my 'simple' techniques land.

As you know... I love head movement (especially when combined with counter-punching).  It's one of the most effective defensive fighting styles that you can possibly learn, and I love watching it work in action.

I seem to have made an egregious error in my last email...  Micky Rooney never trained Mike Tyson.  Micky Rooney was a crappy child actor, who wasn't funny.

Mike Tyson was a master of intimidation (as well as head movement and ridiculous knockouts).  Despite his relative insanity, I also find him to be an incredibly honest and forthcoming athlete... over time, I've built up a lot of respect for this guy, and his character.

After sending out the last few videos on Fedor (and his entire family's ice cold demeanor), I got a ton of people asking me how they can behave with such steadfast confidence.  Being fearless would be nice.... but it's easier said than done.

The first day that I walked into an MMA school, I got the crap beat out of me by 3 different people.  I was too big, too bulky, and not nearly fast enough to hit these nimble and experienced fighters.
