Sorry racso. Yes I agree a solid blow on a not so solid man. he went down about as easy as I figured he would
Yeah, but only as of this page. The karate/martial arts discussion in general is quite a valid tangent, and ... to be honest, exactly where you'd have to expect that video and its audio commentary to take things.Originally posted by: Racso

Speaking of which ... back on track:
Depends on the situation. If you're being jumped by 5 or 6 thugs in an alley, and you take down the first one in a painful way doing some extremely flashy move that makes them think you're more skilled than you necessarily might think of yourself as, they might get intimidated and either hesitate or back down. Or they might decide to pull knives or guns, and completely change the face of the situation.Originally posted by: Chaoskiddo
i understand, but you cant understand if you havent ever been in a tournment, in tournments sometimes the point IS to look flashy for the sake of winning, if you were acctually on the street fighting some1 of course those flipping crazy jumping moves would be a waste of time.
Of course, in like a pit fight or something, the intimidation factor is only really useful for psychological warfare, and I'd imagine most experienced pit fighters would see through that sort of game (and psych themselves up quite a bit beforehand)-- but it would make the audience happy to see that sort of showboating wasteful stuff.
In the case of this video, the guy used very basic stuff (a basic stance, a basic hit), properly executed with black-belt power... it wouldn't really look impressive at all if you don't know anything at all about how impressively sharp, accurate and powerful that hit had to be to take that dude down like that.
Makes me think of this: http://tang.keenspace.com/d/19980222.html
Good to see someone who understands one of the most important parts of martial arts, hard training on basics. As you just said, if you have trained VERY much, a basic attack from a basic stance can be one of the most powerfull.
Those who know how much a chudan maegeri hurts when it hits properly will understand what I mean, for those who dont know what it is I'll explain, a strait kick into solarplexus, the first kick one learns when training Kyokushin karate(not counting hizageri, the knee-kick which you learn at the same time).
Hehe it would've been funny if that kid in the red got knocked out.Originally posted by: AssertnFailure

It looks like he did the same move as the other karate guy in my video.

lol. no I just thought if someone video taped someone doing all those fancy and stupid looking moves the dude in red was going to take a fall. then I saw him actually doing something other than posing. I was wrong because I thought the dude in red would get his ass kicked. =P
I knew from the setup that he knows real martial arts. it just looks funny cuz at a stage were he can't do a move with out being in a proper begining stance. A some what more advance guy could do most moves from a relaxed position and not have to setup. But he did beat the crap out that loud mouth.
his stance was awesome, once he got into it i knew the other guy was gonna end up on the floor, but yeah it did look kinda funny that he needed to be in a proper stance first
edit: after watching again, he dodged him perfectly, before taking him down, the other guy was like going left and right, but all he was hitting was air
-----------------
I hate spineless people, men or women, who push others around who are at a disadvantage and beat up on those they know are physically weaker (the same thing revolts me with those who take advantage of the elderly or mentall handicapped). The karate guy handled himself perfectly. I think it is a finely justifiable thing that the pimp got laid out with that move, which just reminds me of a pimp's back-of-the-hand bitchslap.
And I'm also sure that he and probably the whores were high on something or other.... His movements were not just erratic, they were dulled AND erratic... A great contrast to the karate masters quick and solid blow.
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
