@ptboyindenver Huh?...Gentlemen?...

[JDMsamuraiwarrior]

sochin kata

[Hugonis]

Yeah, nice to see Sensei Marr again. His Unsu was always quite amazing, too. Growing up with Karate all your life + putting in a lot of hard work on top of it + being an all around decent guy = amazing karate.

[martingsilva]

thank you scott for posting this video!

[ptboyindenver]

Ahem.

Gentlemen, I have met and trained next to Darren. (I know his dad a lot better.) I can't imagine that he cares one little bit if somebody looks at some of the back stances in this performance and says they are weak - because they are and he probably knew it at the time. He is man enough to let people see his imperfections.

WH2012, belt rank means nothing outside the dojo. That Shogun-by-James-Clavell, fake Japanese culture looks awfully silly on an American. Leave it on the floor.

My goodness do you ever come across as insecure, and very angry. What an unfortunate state for someone who supposedly practices the martial arts and mastery of oneself. Best of success with your training. Keep at it, as you clearly have a long way to go...

[ThaHonestTruth]

I know you hate to let the facts get in the way of your senseless opinions, but be honest. I said nothing nasty about anyone I don't know until I was provoked.

1. I said nothing nasty about Marr.

2. I spoke truth about about your Sensei (if he is who I think): he was a jerk and his classes were substandard. But I KNOW HIM.

3. I only tore you to shreds after you insulted me (big mistake, as you learned).

I'd ask you to defend your assertion, but it's indefensible, so I won't bother.

[WH2012]

There is no discourse to be had. This 'discussion' consists of you ranting and raving and saying nasty things about people you don't even know based on ONE video. Grow up and dispense with your self-righteous indignance.

[ThaHonestTruth]

You're implying that I shouldn't call myself that since I don't give out identifying info. Is this right? As if refusing to give out this info is inconsistent with telling the honest truth?

This is a classic non sequitur.

Is yellow a circle or square? How many gallons are in an hour?

Your post is as senseless as these questions.

You've been owned yet again.

If you want to continue the discussion, I do request that you at least try to elevate the level of discourse.

[WH2012]

Of course you don't give out "identifying information"...which is why you refer to yourself as "ThaHonestTruth"...
