Kaz Here- Internal martial arts

[TheShinobidog]

White people have no culture now, either. I have adopted the old world Chinese culture as my own. It's my cultural surrogate mother.

[Dragon34th]

It doesnt matter ur black white or Chinese & it doesnt matter what style u learn. Just learn a few good styles & be able 2 adapt 2 any fighting situation. Bruce Lee said: "be like water, shapeless & style_less". U may be an expert in a particular style boxing Gongfu etc... but in a real fight, u still have 2 learn how ur opponent moves adapting 2 him & trying 2 exploit his weaknesses "be like water my friend" Im black & I do Shaolin, Wudang have a solid boxing background good luck.

Yes, martial art is VAST, no one can master everything. Each of us are different and gifted in different physique. He might not be a master but he is definitely respected for his humble attitude towards learning and respecting each and everyone's martial art. Thus, practice & applying whats good and suitable for him.

[bloated]

go move to China and stop mooching off the public park system!

[trondyne]

[DANTHETUBEMAN]

[Acerzeon]

Have to love this guy. 

[lmaffonso]

This Robert Sharpe is very, very good....at my first site it wasn´t serching for him, i judge at my first view and then i took a look on his deep study in what he are doing...I am a black belt in diferents traditional Japanese martial arts and practicing constant since 1978 and in Robert you can see that he study very good what he are doing, maibe it is not a traditional martial art, but he develop his own martial art...and that i apretiate to see that are people allways looking for more...

[Vitaminnn07]

amazing guy

[trevorhirby]

Im not to posative about boxing being a african martial art, but Capoeira is.

Capoeira was created by african slaves in brazil.

[rAFiCoRe]

@trevorhirby : He doesn't say that boxing is african, it is the "science of the black man". Joe Louis was THE boxer of the 1930's, and he was black. Muhammad Ali, the greatest boxer of the 20th century was black. Today, Mike Tyson is the best known boxer today (besides the klitschko brothers), and he is black, too. You see where this is going, do you? ;)

[trevorhirby]

@rAFiCoRe Right before that he says "the closest thing I could get to an african martial art was boxing"

[rAFiCoRe]

@trevorhirby: he didn't mean it geographic, he meant it from it's ... i don't know, nature, body mechanics, the bunch of black people that were friggin boxing champions

[ANGELSGYMSINGH]

Master Sharpe is the man.... loved the video... love that his ideas are being shared with warriors of all systems, cultures and ethnicities....

[insightdeluxe2]

i'd love to sit down w/this dude and pick his brain! he's so on pt about the savage notion of an african martial art. that's what is missing from our young brothers today. it's time has come to train our young in the rituals and traditions of the martial arts (for lack of better words). blessings.

[Koryuhoka]

I love this guy! He really understands his arts.

[interdimensional78]

There is a little known group. This is for Mr. Sharpe. They are the ashanti warriors. Most don't know about them and they like it that way, as do everyone else. We seem to have found a common ground though so...There is a book. Rule of the Bone. By Russel Banks. Nuf. Said. Infinate Peace and Love Butterfly style.

[Koryuhoka]

I don't think he was actually that he did not know.

:)

[seesthetruth]

Brilliant bro!! Well said. this has always concerned me as well.

[gagi1963andjeo]

5 STARS!

[Meshelsidek]

Great video blessed love. martial arts if for and of all people of the world

[JunFanJimi]

And yes do feel free to bite back I'm sure you will and I'll decide whether it's worth replying to you a 3rd time if I can see any improvement in your attitude towards honest truth seeking.

Titus 3(KJV). 

3:10

A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;

[Dread78]

"And if you look at my comments you will see that there bathed in truth ." everything is said! peace

[JunFanJimi]

Circumstances have a way of moulding a person the key my friend is what choices can we make that are good ones when those circumstances that are out of our control, come. Hope you can get free of your delusion, but then again,

Jer 13:23 (KJV)

Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil. Happy hunting dude there's so much to learn.

[JunFanJimi]

look Dread78, no one likes the cold hard facts commonly know as truth. Take you for instance you've not listened to what I've said at all have you?

You matey replied to one of my comments that I made to someone else, it is you who jumped on the bandwagon and put your twopence worth in.Nor have you answered my question about why you felt the need to reply to me as you did, no, instead you just fudge that question and fire the same question back to me unanswered.

[JunFanJimi]

And if you look at my comments you will see that there bathed in truth and people don't like washing in truth because it gets them too clean. People like fantasy B.S. Which I know you love because you're sat defending it on line. How foolish is that!? I take it also that you are probably caught up also in colour rather that the universal human condition, pity, how easily the devil plays with man's wanton desires of egotism. You nor I my friend are any better than anyone else not even Hitler.

[JunFanJimi]

If you wanna know about Black fighting arts forget it fighting ain't a colour except maybe, blood red.

If you don't understand the truth to that statement then buy an expensive plane ticket to Eygpt and look long and hard at the walls inside some pyramids. What the funk has colour got to do with smacking a guy down. Man has 2 arms,2 legs and one head, all fighting is the same, the only conjecture after being willing to harm is how efficient what you are using is it at harming. God bless.

[JunFanJimi]

Your hung up on a side street on your journey and that's why your miles of the destination.

[Dread78]

the journey is the destination ! ;-)

[Dread78]

... whats the point of your statement?

criticizing other peoples will to travel through their lives and to learn something?

or just showing your big ego to other people by acting like an idiot?

[JunFanJimi]

THE POINT MY FRIEND IS THAT WHY HAS FIGHTING GOT TO COME DOWN TO RACE other than the human race.You have to be able to see the wood from the trees. And no the journey isn't the destination, the journey is the journey and the destination is the climax of that journey.

[JunFanJimi]

The point to my comments, if I make them are to reveal absolute truth where I believe something or someone is in error or in need of a pointer, and that doesn't make me an egotist thanks, I don't have all the answers and never have said I do. And if someone puts a clip on the tube and they leave it open to commentry then as far as I know I have the right to do so. Now why did you feel the need to reply to me in the way you did !?

[Dread78]

"Now why did you feel the need to reply to me in the way you did !? " good question, think about it^^

[Dread78]

and have a look on the comments other people make on your comments...

[bahadzubusa]

Kamusta kana Roberto my friend. I thoroughly enjoyed workign with you my last visit to the Apple. I should be heading back for another seminar in August..hope to see you and pick your brain a bit..salaam pare....

[agutinoff]

He are good man. BUT will this work in practice? He must search and learn from the REAL masters.

[OneRoomSchoolHouse]

who did you have in mind?

[hypnobhavin]

What's he on about. If he is researching black martial arts he only has to look at Africa. There are all kinds of fighting traditions their. Senegalese wrestling for example.

[OneRoomSchoolHouse]

he was talking about 30 years ago when he started in the martail arts as a teenager. he is a pioneer who has done the research.

[majaimay]

@hypnobhavin

or dambe "boxing" for example, if you can call it that, it's incredibly unique and from the little i've seen of it's pretty damn brutal as well as fairly complex

[WarriorBoy]

I really liked the old school documentary style of this video. Mr.Sharpe's points were well made and interesting, and he has skills that back up his points. I would like to see more like this.

[looks2ce]

so clear and succinct. I would love to hear more from Mr. Sharpe

[OneRoomSchoolHouse]

his students are out there on weekends, he is ususually busy then, check for Jamar Clarke in the park.

[MamboRasco]

[OneRoomSchoolHouse]
