I trained with this instructor for a short time in Medford Oregon. You dont just worry about his strikes because his blocks hurt just as much when sparring. He has a great class and if you just study his basics that will help you survive most confrontations. Thanks Dr.
I remember my kenpo instructor hiting me pretty hard for demonsrations for class. In the beginning I hated it.Lol. After awhile I got used to it. Loved it though, want to go back!
bruce lee was clocked at a hit being around 5/100 of a second. which is 1/20 of a second. where this man did 16 hits in 1 second = 1/16 so theres always room for improvement it just goes to show us it takes dedication
plus i think some wing tsun men can hit faster than 1/20 of a second! amazing
Same here, much respect to any man that's dedicated much if not all of his life to the arts. He stresses speed with accuracy, very necessary animal for fighting success. Love what he does. I'd like to study kenpo with a good solid teacher one day.
lol not only informative but gave me a good number of laughs. loved it cuts to him wearing head gear and falling down right before it cuts. haha absolutely great video.
You know rexcurtis, I can relate to what you're saying. I have been training with the Doc for four years now and I'm still discovering the things I've learned. Last night I was at a bar and someone threw a punch at me and before I knew it I'd blocked it and used that rotational energy to hit him three more times. He just held his mouth and nose and backed up in awe. And I'm one of the nice people at the Dojo!
I agree with rexcurtis. I've trained with Dr. La Tourrette and he has a unique style of being able to teach a bunch of small steps and put them together for maximum efficiency. I have made a lot of money training with Doc. Unfortunately he is very picky about who he trains. You have to really work to get on this man's schedule. He doesn't work with beginners.
I've actually trained with Doc. This man is amazing. The best trainer on the planet in this and in Peak Performance Training. I've made a lot of money using his techniques
I have been training with Dr. La Tourrette for 16 years. This man is a genius at breaking things down into small easily learned steps. Doc is years ahead of any trainer on this planet.
correct body alignment and such allows him to hit with more power than most 20 something year olds could from brute muscular strength without having to break a sweat at 67 years old! If you didn't see it or experience it you wouldn't believe it. The man is phenomenal!
Notice the way he is in midstep while striking. That allows him to use the entire mass of his body coming forward in the strikes via gravity as every step is a controlled fall. Note the excellent alignment of his hip, shoulders, elbows and wrists along with the subtle rotations both horizontally (common knowledge) and vertically that all translate to body mass transfer and rotational inertia.
I am a student of the Dr. John La Tourrette and I LOVE it. You get knocked out, bruised, stunned, chocked out, kicked in the head and thrown to the ground...Who wouldn't like REAL training! He's a Great Man!
I think this guy is a real nerve cavity King and would put most grand masters to shame. He's a high ranked guy that can actually do something. I love seeing quality speed and dim mak here. What I find amazing is how he can really knock out that guy and not hurt him. You'd think there would be brain damage. Thank you.
I cannot believe the death zone strikes that this man can use at that speed. It's damn scary. I wished I lived close to him so I could train with him. Manuel
you imagine when he does a move like that to a hot chick and suddenly she has no more underwear LOL! Then another fast move and DAM How did it got in! LOLOl WTF HAXX!!
holy shit that guy is fast, you'd never know it by looking at him but jesus christ he would tear anyone a new asshole in a matter of a second, i'm gonna study this vid and try to learn something new, i wish this guy taught in my area :(
3:20 to 3:30 is absolutely hilarious! he just completely drops him!
i would honestly be very very honored to be trained by him. this guy is extremely good and deangerous but i doubt because i dont even have the basic fighitng skills none-the-less the selfdefence concept down. i dont even kno the basics yet and him considering this would mean automatically him saying "no i wont train you" but thats ok i have a long way to go in this area.
I miss his advanced fighting classes. It wasnt "sparring' but real full contact fighting with pads on the old, hard carpeted floor. I can't even count how many times I got thrown into or bounced off those old yellow walls! LOL
I actually trained under Dr. La Tourrette in high school in that very same dojo. Watching a display like that is nowhere near as incredible as learning how to do it. I'm nowhere near as fast as sensei, but just learning the technique is an experience.
This is the first time I've seen Dr. La Tourrete in action (on video) wow... "Very nice" I'd love to see some videos with multiple attackers, do you have that on your DVD?
Great video John. All I can say is more... more... more!
After you watch this video, think about me since I am lucky enough to be able to take trainings from this speed master that is not part of his martial arts training. He is as fast with his mind as his hands are.
Great video, with real knowledge. I have been in many street fights, and I have real training from the guy that is now training the Navy Seals and High Tier government and I have to say this looks good.
Also: That poor bastard getting hit! LOL I remember some of those hits! You need to give that poor bastard a break (LOL) you can't take to many of those hits without creating some permanent damage.
There's more real stuff on this five minute free video than most video courses you'd pay real $ for. Don't believe me, get up (like I did) and do what he does, step by step (go easy on your buddy!!!) then write it all down. Got it? If you almost get it, don't worry, there is help available.
Dr. John La Tourrette is amazing, his expereince and speed are so advanced that you can't see all the hits in this video because the internet is too slow. Check out the DVD and any other ones you can get a hold of, you will be even more impressed.
Man this stuff is amazing. I love the distancing and bridging concepts, it's like knocking pool balls around, always setting up the next shot. What's funny is I can't even see all the inbetween excelerator strikes on this internet version. You guys should see the dvd!
I don't know what was more fun, watching the students eyes go numb, watching the student pop his jaw back into place after the KO, watching the wall shake after the poor guy got knocked into it or closing my eyes and hearing the sounds of flesh getting hit. Great video, give me more!
OMG!! wtf did i just look at? This scared the shit out of me to know theres people who can do this.....XD
