I am always blown away when I see demonstrations of people using "real" street weapons{bat,tire iron...} then when the demonstrations are done with speed and intent{as this one is},it takes it up another fear notch for both partners, ...The control issued from Dr.Painter is fantastic...excellent job.
The individual is Matt Cohen a well respected Shifu of Silat and other Chinese Gong Fu styles. I asked him to work with me because he is an excellent kicker and is used to fighting and can take a punch and fall quite well.
Thanks for you comments. The way these methods are applied it almost gives you the weapon after the entry is made. As I flow in the palm hooks over his arm and then as the turn continues it slides down his arm so the Bat comes right into my hand. When I first discovered how to do this it surprised me how easy it was. Correct principles and very rapid footwork are the keys.
Nice applications. Great example of the effectiveness of internal martial arts.
