Bujinkan training is similar in the relaxed attitude and use of balance etc.

Geoff, it's refreshing to hear a well spoken fighter--esp. one w/ doorman experience. Thank you. Most of these moves are moves i already use now. Thank you for reassuring me that they are good by using them in your videos.--and adding detail.

[verygdshitski]

excellent. Very good shitski.

[scarred10]

these videos are what caused me to quit tkd after 15 yrs for boxing and grappling back in 1997(we learnded from the original gracie basics tapes since nobody else had a clue and trained a bit with a judo club).

[jmikejapan]

is that geoff at 4:44 punching?

[weedcrainie]

thanks very much for makeing this video i will use the fence it makes a lot of sense. and i do karate i will make it a part of my daily practice.

[Kamboolo]

lol at his training partner that gets punched in face constantly by geoff, bet he thinks" ffs not another video" LOL

[mackhomie]

@Kamboolo hahaha yeah, he's brutal when it comes to that. I don't knwo why he can't just demonstrate the stuff and stop short, it seems like (in other videos in particular) he just has to make some sort of contact when he's doing his 100% swings with a partner.

[rockyboy201]

theres a bit missing from part 1, what does he say about being off centre (towards the end) it cuts out and moves onto the second clip it's like he moves onto another section. Please can you tell me what he says

[paulwp]

@rockyboy201

It talks about moving off to one side, off the centre line which moves the assailant off balance and also opens up the whole jaw line to be hit. It is a bigger target area when you move to one side.

@rockyboy201 lol i think wel need to buy the video haha

[bluemax1990]

yes indeed mr thompson,it's not who you are,but what you do,that definds you.

[Lucianul007]

respect !

[Lucianul007]

I didn`t know that are more people that think like me, I thought I`m enjoying to much working on doors....and have some issues :)

[TobbeOMMA]

Thank you!

[jackregalado]

Three cheers for Geoff Thompson! Good work man.

[blutobelushi]

he is the best.  ive studied his books dvds...hes the best

[cr38961]

The interesting thing is that what he is doing is basically what Jack Johnson, the first black heavyweight champion, used to do. I person can't generate speed in their hands if someone obstructs them up near the elbow and upper arm.

[uthikoloshe]

@cr38961 ha, yes, i hadn't thought of that, but its true. jack johnston certainly had the fence going.

[MCshlthead]

i could beat

[OLDMANBADGER]

hmm, thousands of people have thought that, i think he s had more fights than hot dinners!

[Pankration321]

@MCshlthead ha ha ha

[Karbouchard]

I like this man. I like his fighting philosophy. Every martial artist should study his work if they are serious about applying what they have devoted their lives to.

[Shindai]

Much respect, Geoff. Wish I'd found you before I got pumelled to goo as a teen, but it's not happened again since :)

[LiveMusicShow]

thanks for posting this , I have one of his books, excellent stuff, this man is real and he seems , despite his dismissive comments about the 'mystical ' etc , to have developed a spiritual understanding and humility which is admirable.

Well done Geoff!

[fewag]

ich finds gut, allerdings ist mir das zu viel geringe.ich denke, auch geoff weiss als erfahrener türmann, das es immer ungünstig ist, sich am boden zu suhlen, glasssplitter, hundescheisse und kollegen des gegners können ein da ganz übel mitspielen. Axel ucc hamburg

[HIRE2HACK]

Brilliant stuff Geoff! Nothing quite hits like reality!

[blutobelushi]

awesome.hes the best.

[MattTheGiant]

This is exactly what I have been looking for. I've seen many confrontations where the "18 inches" degenerates, and you are left in headbutting range, and I have always wanted to know how to keep someone back without coming across as being threatening.

Brill stuff here.

[darklordsauron3]

24 hours a day! Get some sleep Geoff!

[Yarwer]

savage speech at the end :D

[TobbeOMMA]

Yes, the end is important.
