@bendog205 And with that attitude I'm astonished you passed at all. Perhaps those you regard as Bob's favourites were those who had the strength of character to be self critical and improve themselves rather than blaming the grading examiner for their lack of success.

[lolallthetime]

I'm am still young (19), but i've had the privilege to train with all of these greats (excluding the late sensei Enoeda), they are harsh but fair and because of them my karate has flurished, I'd just like to take this opportunity to thank them all. Oss.

@666Seryan

This is why in the Dan gradings especially for the KUGB part of the criteria to pass up grades involves protecting yourself from unknown attacks, this isn't rehearsed and is there purely to see how the participant reacts under pressure and unplanned circumstances :)

[iceburg1968]

I think it's nice these skilled gentlemen are donating their skills to comedy like this. I don't think 205 has embarrassed himself at all on here, for telling the truth? Ok language a bit unnecessary. And what does it mean that someone's a 7th dan and another's 6th dan..absolutely nothing in a real fight. ps - keep the martial in your art.

@MegaPaddle

Dave Hazard is 7th Dan, Andy Sherry is 8th.

Changing your name to sound like 70's porn star reprobate doesnt make him a better fighter.

[666Seryan]

Video's like this always make me wonder how well their reaction time would be if it wasn't rehearsed. I'm certainly not saying that these people aren't really skilled, but the problem with most of these fighting styles in real world situations is that it would take near inhuman reaction times for most of these moves to be effective, meaning someone who only uses easy to execute basic techniques at the same skill level will make far less mistakes, thus would win most of the time.

@bendog205 i really dont think he is a horrible person, i dont mean this as his family, but as a Sensei he has trained hard and is fair, i think more than anything he likes to see people doing well and treats everyone fairly. Sorry you feel that way, and I'm sure him and the other Sensei's would like to hear your thoughts on him?

@IanIngram1

Makes you wonder if he had the same attitude at the time he was failed.

[jason41760]
