My dad and uncle did a lot of tai chi and i learnt some chi gong off a close student of michal tsi (think thats how you spell it) but i really wish i could learn self defence from a sifu like you man. Chi gong was good but its more for medicinal purpose and no one where i live teachs high grade self defence. Do u traveling tutorials or do you just stay in japan?
Really hope this becomes stronger and recognised. It seems like the thing that would, just hope it's built on a good basis and doesn't turn into a martial cult like a lot of martial arts xD Also, the founder seems level-headed so it certainly wont be cultish xD
This seems very practical and well thought out. There are so many traditional "knife defenses" that I've studied that seem like pipe dreams. Well done.
the symbol tells me all i need to know. much respect. coming to california anytime soon? i would love to train with you or one of your students. I come from shotokan/boxing/wrestling/wing chun/BJJ/ background (in that order). most extensive training in wing chun and bjj (at 5'6", what do you expect? lol). i'm actually almost (but not quite) exclusively doing qigong/neidan internal alchemy and tai ch'i right now. once you're aware of surroundings and can quickly close/take centerline, that's it.
u flow better then most elderly practitioners like in ur big buddha tai chi. also i wwas wondering about the origins of silate ifu could shed some light on it
You train to disarm the body.. but how can youpredict something that hasn't happened. I've been cut twice before disarming in real life. Admitidly I did it in a much simpler manner.. that's all that was necessary.
@Fishpigg outside the training gym there is alway a chance of being cut but what would u rather happen 1 defend urself n get cut on the arm ect or 2 get stabbed by a prick who doesnt know much if anything about the body and where vital organs r i would rather option 1 myself at least that way ur offering what they will cut ie ur arm less chance of die-ing if u get cut on the arm
easy bro like what your doing. your waist/body connection is good stuff. your root looks solid. do u ever do push hands, i train in tai chi we do our own stuff most the time just blending sparring with push hands and not putting restrictions on any situation or movement. its good to see someone else doing the same. breaking it down 2 just whats necessary 2 get the job done good stuff bro love it. just 1 question i know u teach but has there been a time when u've been caught out. peace bro.
Caught out?? Sorry I don't understand... can you be more specific?? If you mean bashed or jumped, then shit yeah! I've worked on the doors for ages and been sucker punched whilst distracted or from the side/behind etc.. Not afraid to admit that nor get my arse kicked.
ye thats what i meant sorry. i missed your seminar in somerset was moving down there that day. will you be back there soon and is there a class in somerset you could recommend would like to try some of your stuff hope to hear from you again, peace.
I like to see you do your stuff! and its real that you admit that you can be hit. Too many people think that if you train and if you are good you are superman. Please keep up the great work and keep sharing>
Great info i find your videos very useful as i am a martial arts teacher myself i have not been lucky enough to yet study anything like aikido or similar yet but your videos help when i am trying to learn new skills, since i have a good basic understanding of locks holds arm bars ect, it helps when i watch your knife disarms.
Do you have a tour you will be doing in the UK?? if so when are the dates??
Hi, I will be in Somerset on the 1st & 2nd of August. Please contact the organizer for details, Early registration and payment gives you a considerable discount. Hope to see you there :-)
You dont have to say sorry mate, I have had my wrist cut! years ago by a junkie at 2am in a dark street, and you know what... I learnt big time from that big time! But not being there I can understand it is hard for you to see what we are doing.. And the fact that this becomes very dirty simulation training...
I appreciate very much the technique used here, and am striving to use it in the self-defense courses I teach. I have however difficulties as soon as the "aggressor" is speeding up and is getting out of the usual patterns. Would you be kind enough to post a video with a demo at normal speed (both aggressor and defender acting at realistic speed) so that I can try and see what I am doing wrong? Thank you anyway for your outstanding videos...
No problem. I have been putting together a big collection of our simulation and response training, im glad you can see that this is very basic and is meant for the outderstanding of mechanics. If you train this it becomes natural, most simply think too much and freeze in the begining of Response & Simulation prac.. but like in this vid, I drum it into my guys! So they are getting the hang of it :)
great stuff Luke!- 5 stars straight up :) - nice use of hips and general body mechanics - your students look better each video man...keep up the good work. Just got to UK from Malaysia training silat and doing orphanage work... will mail you soon mate, take care!

Very nice.
I'm a bit confused though... is this coming out as a DVD, and if so, when? What are the details of the online course, i.e. signup, fees, etc.?
Enquiring minds want to know! :-)
