Geoff Thompson old t.v appearance

Anyone remember the furore this caused. Great work from a great man.

Geoff is the greatest pioneer of realty based self defense. One of his greatest lessons he teaches is to develop good hands through Western Boxing. I love that. Grappling and kicking are support arts. Grappling is, of course, a very important support art, especially for little guys like me. Thank you Geoff!

Mr Thompson today is a totally changed man, sounding more like a messiah than a street-fighting expert, so I do not want to criticize him on his former teachings. However, for what it's worth, "animal days" is a totally wrong approach if one is a TRAINED LEGIT MARTIAL ARTIST. The latter would and should be able to down a rowdy, violent, swearing attacker in literally 2 seconds by well placed strikes, without himself hardly experiencing an increase in heart-rate.

Non sense. The hardest people to fight are NON MARTIAL ARTISTS who are wild and crazy and don’t use ‘proper technique’ I’ve boxed for years and seen a few amazing ring boxers get dropped by a huge fast overhand just as it kicks off by a ‘no body’ who has t trained a day.

@@RAPEDBYBLACKS Sorry to hear ring-boxers being dropped by drunk thugs in the street. This would definitely not happen with the Karate people that I have known. A specific incident springs to mind, albeit going many decades back, when Karate had just been introduced into the UK, and when a pioneer Japanese Karate Master had summoned a young Japanese Karateka to assist in the instruction. This young Karateka, being used to the ways of Japan, started roaming the streets at night looking for fights in dark alleys and dangerous neighbourhoods. In the process he had completely devastated and maimed so many unruly "street fighters" virtually over nothing, that the police and the law had to get involved. Consequently the Master had to expel him from the UK for a period until things had cooled down. This is only but one case in point of the many incidences that I have known in my time.
