PCL Outdoors & Bushcraft What makes him excellent? Does he hold some special title or acievement that I am ignorant of?

[@adamsherman5024]

@@toddrhodes1572 just listen to him talk man. he is so descriptive and uses real examples by setting each specific idea into motion with a training partner. And titles mean it all dont they? ur ignorant. actions speak louder than words. anyone can claim to be something they are not.

Great as always! Very detailed and technical.

[@ronin6016]

Wow! Great video, excellent instruction and information, thank you for sharing your knowledge

[@itoldyou6169]

This kind of stuff works, but it's hard to get off on an experienced opponent who is ready and actively countering

[@SystemOfStrategy]

At the highest level of application it works on an experienced opponent as well.

[@itoldyou6169]

Thanks for the response! I have no doubt that you could get this to work on just about anyone, but most of us don't have your lifetime of experience and training. But we can all improve the level we are currently at, and as such, I greatly appreciate the time you take to make these videos and share your knowledge with the world.

There are definitely levels of ability and competence that we go through on the journey. This has been my life's journey, and still is, so that means that some of the solutions to problems will access mind and body differently. I am still teaching, training and learning. I am motivated to share the knowledge that has been gained over a lifetime. Much of what is shown is difficult to see or access without hands on training, this is one of the reason that I still travel and teach seminars, however I am hopeful that the videos can convey to solutions that are practical and effective.

Grab here, not here.... Come on...! I need a more submissive opponent! Learn to wrestle. Your opponent never cooperates. You learn the moves or get your face smashed into the mat until you do. You can teach a wrestler other styles, but good luck teaching wrestling to a karate guy or a boxer. Don't be mad. It's true. Everyone thinks their style is superior until it goes to the ground. Then we see what you really know. As Mike Tyson said- "Everyone has a plan until you get punched in the face". If your fighting "art" doesn't teach you how to fight from the ground to your feet- what good is it? All of this stop- action training is bullshit. Ok- hold still while I demonstrate. I know a lot of katas! Stand back! Nothing against James W., but I'd put an Olympic wrestler up against an Olympic Karate champ anytime. Oh yeah- they do it in MMA every day, and the guys with no grappling skills get embarrassed.

SystemOfStrategy What about the "not highest level of application"? - isn't that what matters? There are only so many Bruce Lee's.

Dude's the real life Bruce Lee.
