On the second “Kata”, the term “lead enema” somehow comes to mind.
There trainers are as dangerous as criminals as they instill a false sense of security in their students which will get them killed.
The internet is filled with videos of “instructors” showing unarmed self-defense moves that are at best, cute martial arts choreography for a movie in El Rey Network. But sometimes you may find somebody with a realistic view on how to face danger unarmed.
I’d be doing the same thing.
I have seen the first one floating around. It goes with my longstanding challenge to any martial arts guru: I use my air-soft gun (sans trigger guard), you get to use whatever technique you want (so long as it does not actually break anything except the gun). I will start with the gun out, but otherwise you get to dictate my start position. I will not shoot until you start moving, but I get to use proper weapons retention techniques. Your goal is to not get shot (repeatedly typically, but even one hit a victory for me). My goal is to shoot you until you say “uncle”.
I have never lost.
You have a valid point about people’s unreal expectations of a martial arts response, but your challenge is stacked, lucusloc. Asking for no other breakage assures that your martial artist defender will not respond with full speed and force. As for a single hit being a victory for you, that’s denying the reality of such a situation sufficiently to moot the test. You may score an instantly debilitating hit, but otherwise survival is a victory for me even if you manage to hit me.
Now, about the first video. Jeebus, what a fuster-cluck. The moves that moron tried to demonstrate are beyond laughable. Let’s hope no one actually pays for instruction from him. No, scratch that. Let’s hope no one takes any instruction from him, they’ll have an absurdly inflated notion of their ability to defend themselves.
I’m hoping the first video is just a few bored guys f–king around for s–ts and giggles.
