[KahL1One]

Hmmn, maybe it's just me but from looking at his 70's vids up until now, this all looks like very unrealistic, compliant mess.

I'm sure LJD has a lot of "respect" in his community, but I don't know how well that helps of any of this whatsoever. The demonstrations and classes appear very pretty, but fairly unrealistic.

Anyone can seem like a "beast" when you hold out your arm(s) for 5sec. and let him go to town on you.

[Soulblackman]

@KahL1One You're ALWAYS going to have that paradigm when it comes to demonstrations. Let's face it, they CAN'T be REAL, because this would mean real attacks, real defenses and real INJURIES. These are techniques to be practiced until mastered, the principles of which, will be used in a REAL fight.

[Dharma73]

@Soulblackman Absolutely 100 percent true. I wish that everyone else would come to realize this truth as well.

[Lillymill]

@Soulblackman

Nevertheless, it would be far more convincing for these death touch masters to enter some MMA competition and walk the talk.

[Soulblackman]

@Lillymill The problem with this, is MMA is STILL not a real fight. Are YOU going to concede in the street, if an MMAer attacks you? I'M going for the throat, eyes, groin, etc. ANYTHING that brings me victory. I'll even bite. Don't get me wrong, I've MAD RESPECT for MMA, but everything is within a context. And keep in mind, that in the street, even an MMAer will be somewhat restricted by the clothing he'll be wearing, and the reality that there's no ref to break action.

[Lillymill]

@Soulblackman

Do you really believe it would be that easy to gouge MMA fighter's eyes out, punch his throat or bite him?

Why would you expect them not to be able to gouge, grab, bite, spit as well?

Cage rules are there to keep them from maiming or killing each other.

Can you even imagine what such people could do to a person in a real fight?

[Soulblackman]

@Lillymill I'm saying that self-defense applications are NOT the same as in the ring. Scenario; MMAer throws a good punch at Soke. Soke blocks, kicks to the groin or knee. Then he gouges the eyes. It could be that simple. Of course, since Soke isn't invincible, things could end up, the other way around.

[Lillymill]

@Soulblackman

The truth is that the ring provides an opportunity to experience the dynamics of a real fight.

On the other hand, self-defense experts tend to sell the principles and technieques while comfortably hiding behind the story of their deadliness or "simply" gouging eyes or kicking to the groin, punching the throat...

It's a great way to earn serious cash while blowing smoke but it's dishonest and it can get people into serious trouble by inflating their ego with empty self-confidence.

[Soulblackman]

@Lillymill There's much truth to what you say. But for the record, in his day, Soke was a top-notch tournament fighter. He could execute! The reality though, is that traditional martial arts schools do have their place, just as MMA does. What's your feeling about the self-defense techniques of Charles Nelson, who tended to be critical of even what we'd term as self-defense schools?

[ilovelamp456]

im training with him right now at sma ab hes a beast

[ThaFlyestMoor72]

@ilovelamp456 Hey why don't go to a dojo where he at and spa with him then you'll see if it's effective. I had the honor of meeting Dr. Moses Powell

before he passed on in 2005. He was being honored. Sanuces Ryu

is very real.

[stinkerbellsees]

im a student at sarasota military academy an soke is the best teacher

[8059yorkie]

i trained with him in sarasota as well. i was a student at the sarasota military academy, where he taught part time.

[howToBe12t]

I trained with him in sarasota

[reddrag1]

bullshit.

[SIFUGARCIA]

I love this guy!!!

[NYBUDO]

first let me say that soke Davis wow!!!! Training under the right teacher is important . I have been to a number of schools in ny. The closes to learning has been professor Bill.. Can't wait to see you at a seminar in Nyc

[MrsDomino]

Can i still sign up for stuff like this? i'm in my thirties

[UnderstandingAll]

Never 2 late to start training :)

[jadedbutrfli]

I train with these guys sometimes. My dojo is sanctioned under 1 of their masters. Yes, Mrs D sweat, sore muscles & some bruises. Nothing is more formidable than a woman with confidence, inner strength, knowledge of offensive/defensive tactics such as this against an attack. I'm nowhere near as good as my Sanuces bothas but check me out N the clip under Tribute to Moses Powell 2. I'm the big girl @ 39/240+lbs & still thristing 4 the incredible knowledge of Dr. Moses Powell's legacy. Try it

[ave383]

Of course.

[deylite]

don't believe the hoax..it started with proffessor V(vee jitsu)passed down to Prof.Powell pass down to Soke Lil John(kumite ryu..this is documented history via the NYTimes and about 4000 former students and 130 masters who trained with these guys in the 1970's and 1960's,Wally Jay had NOTHING to do with these legends,just CALL lil'John yourself and ASK HIM,his number is HERE!Lol!...(what an idoit!)Professor V was AALREADY a master in the philipines when Wally was just a BEGINNER(THINK!)

[chucknorrispranks]

nig kwan do

[genious4real]

@jukido987 First of all let me say this: little John was a very good, some may say great fighter, but this is not what he fought using. I personnaly think this type of technique is more out of respect for his teacher the late Moses Powell. I understand why you drew your opinion. it is easy to understand.

[purenathan]

LAWL! This looks so much like a demo our jiu jutsu class did one time. I was like wtf when I first saw then I noticed their Gi's were slightly more....flamboyant than ours >_> yeah

[kraziehispanic211]

i thought that mr. vee taught him ju-jitsu? my history on that piece is kinda flimsy so please tell me bout it....i mean i could research it but gimme what you learned historicly

[jukido987]

Mr Vee as you call him or Professor Vee & Professor Visitacion areone and the same person.

[nubiagold]

jukido987, I like Professor Wally Jay, but he had nothing to do with Sanuces.

[nubiagold]

jukido987, I don't understand your reply.

[ellul613]

The best of the best in his day, awesome martial artist.

[bkwarrior1]

Ous Soke!

You are a lIving legend and what you teach is the truth keep teaching OUS!
