If I remember correctly he used to work as a bouncer in Glasgow and got into plenty of fights. Take a close look at his fists. Those aren't hands. Those are sledgehammers. I have had the pleasure of meeting him once. He's all about practicality.
You think Tommy was a lyer in speed or anything? Tommy was an Inspiration, he shows you the way, follow him or not! Tommy is not Bruce Lee, he is his own philosophy. A great fighter, a great teacher.
I really like what I see but aren't you relying on your opponent being off guard? If you're in a situation where a fight may ensue both of you are fired up and ready for action. Sometimes you wont get the edge or opportunity of preemptive strikes.
ca ce raproche de la vitesse de bruce lee mais il fait des temps d'arret leger bruce lee lui cest mouvement etait un comme un eclaire en un mouvement il en faisent 4 j'ai comparet la video des deux et il y a pas photos mais carruthers a reussi a sent aprocher cest blufent tout de meme j'aime bien
When Tommy is on, he reminds me of Bruce when I knew him. The first time that I saw him I told him that he punches like Bruce. Tommy is also a very powerful kicker. He has Bruce like speed and power and is more flexible than Bruce was. He transfers an amazing amount of shock with his strikes. He has taken Bruce's ideas and turned them into a functional reality."Jesse Glover (Bruce Lee's first student). <---this answers a lot of questions.
@RoObEr2403 tommy doesn't see himself anywhere near bruce he's his own worst critic. problem is other compare him with bruce and that causes people to put him down and attack him over the internet. however he does have standards tells you right away if you meet them or not and that pisses of a lot of people.
I like bruce lee but tommy is the one who inspired me to join jkd,and i also love aikdo, the founder of aikido faced every boxer,kun fu man,karate man,judo man,wresler and so on and he went undefeated......
@nevlinds I just want to add nevlinds that in no way am I dissing Kyokushin. Am I correct in saying that Kyokushin in it's truest form only allows hand strikes to the body or is that wrong?
@nevlinds That maybe so but it doesn't really mean much to me. How did they win, was it by KO, TKO or decision. Believe me I've seen plenty of fights where decisions have gone the wrong way.
Very fast, I'm not sure he's as fast as Bruce Lee and I actually don't think there's anyone faster than Lee... But Tommy gets very close, good for him.
@zeprecht are u a bjj guy if so why don't u go challenge him & prove it he teaches siminars all over the world .if not u are all talk huh ???!!!!! please let us know will u when u are going 2 fight him hmmmm ???
il fatto che si faccia pagare x mettere su internet i suoi video e non si faccia filmare negli stages,io non lo trovo x niente giusto... amzi e molto triste..bruce lee urlava a tutto il mondo cosa era il jfjkd.....:(((
hes fast and throws alot of fast punches...but i bet in a real fight...he will mess up and not even do wut hes showing here...
