  • Great lesson. An athlete has a reaction time over 200 ms. A trained martial artists: 180 ms. To swat your hand across your face: 30 ms. Just knowing reaction times and times of movements shows no way can a person react fast enough in 30 ms to move their hand out of the way. Knowing reaction times and body movement times opens a whole new way of thinking in self defense and sports. I practice with my robot arms to give me faster reaction times and understand them.

  • self defense in 30 seconds... hmmm. Why is the video almost 5 minutes? lol!!

  • Cool lecture, but in America they have guns. Guns beat ninja fingers.

  • @gnarl Hey thx for letting me know. :-)

  • @joopsnoop I know that he did Aikido and Hapkido heavily. He also had a lot of practical use by working as a bouncer for many years. Read his book, Waveman. It's a great journey through his life of martial arts and teaching his system to SAS, Presidential Bodyguards, etc. I agree that one central system is better but he was very serious about his training. Wasn't done to boost confidence but to make himself an ample fighter, if it came to that. Very interesting guy. Not sure if he still teaches.

  • @gnarl Cool, thx. Do you know if he did any of those arts to depth? I like to see someone have one central system they spend a lifetime on rather than doing many things to a little bit. He is also a good talker! That is a BIG plus too I think because most martial arts guys can't instruct well but he can.

    Does he teach martial arts or self defence anywhere?

  • @joopsnoop He traveled around Asia for a few years. Hapkido, Aikido, Karate, Jiu-Jitsu, etc. He studied many and devoted his life to it. Then created his own system, Kontact, which he taught to military personnel. He basically took out the garbage, fanciness, and self-fulfilling instruction that martial arts are so riddled with and came out with a truly usable fighting system.

  • Rob's a cool guy. What's his martial arts background?

  • This guy must have heard my lessons, very close to the way i explain things.

  • The kid in the back is hilarious.. hehe.
