That's not Dan Pai. That's Sensei Dan Pauley.

Lots of great details in this video. Thanks for posting!

Master Decker taught an effective art and was a great fighter. He had respect for all traditional arts and serious practitioners. It's easy (and safe) to cast aspersions on someone who is no longer with us. He did not do that.  Many of Master Decker's senior students are still around perhaps some of you will chance to meet them and get a chance to experience first hand. Also, let me say as someone with thirty years practicing martial arts I am tired of secret pass words and decoder rings.

Decker's art was and is based on generalizable tactics and strategies. The core forms teach ways to efficiently use whole body power.These ideas also apply to weapons.. This system has been tested in combat and in the ring it works. What Master Pai taught the public was not what he used in private. Master Decker's real system is not a part of Pai Lum they are different systems.

I trained with Master Decker for over 12 years, many many years ago. We all miss him.

Okay. This writing is not for those, who know nothing, and never will. Unless, they sign up, line up, and shut up, for you really know nothing. There were only 3 indoor live in students, with Grandmaster Pai LoLung, Pai TianLong, Dr Daniel Kane Pai, Danny Kalimaahaae Pa'i (his birth name). These are all his names. There are few, if any at all, that could match or even come close to Teacher Pai. We, a few of the Pai Lum elders that are still left, are writing the book of "Lung's" life. Only thos

@PONTIACGRANDPRIX You don't know what won't work, because there are too many variables that affect the outcome of these techniques of which you have no first hand experience. The man in the video was known for using his skill to knock around experienced fighters who were twice his size. Anyone who ever met him would verify his skill. This is 8 minutes of basic applications from 30 seconds of a form. The application of a technique is limited only by the mind and skill of the practitioner.

@loon101013 Stop trying to sound like mister miaggi off karate kid. "perhaps you would see more art in this world if you replace you're fear with love. for fear is the only weakness." You got beat up alot in highschool didn't you? The fact of the matter is that in a real fight or situation these techniques don't work..... Art wont help you when your getting punched in the face.

@PONTIACGRANDPRIX

you're gallant attitude combined with you're lack of knowledge is the only joke. i mean, clearly the building where someone trains has everything to do with their ability (obviously... i mean c'mon guys common knowledge). there is little one can even say except for i am sorry that you don't see the art in these motions. dark clouds of doubt obscure you're vision. perhaps you would see more art in this world if you replace you're fear with love. for fear is the only weakness.

What the nay sayers have to understand is that Master Decker is breaking things down to a basic level to display how things work. Verbal communication is used for those who can't grasp the physical yet. What will or won't work is relative to the individuals involved. There is random chaos in any self-defense situation that doesn't happen in a pattern. However, these application drills function as a seat belt in that they may dramatically increase one's chance of survival. No guarantees!
