I would appreciate if you kept your negative opinions to yourself. People come here to see clips of Mr. Speakman. They don't need the any bull remarks from Speakman haters. I have trained with Mr. Speakman and HE is the best at what He does!!!

I love all the low kicks. To often you see high kicks that are flashy, but not necessarily practical. These look so powerful and destructive..

the classic part you hear in the dojo every day. cross and cover!!! jeff got that down.

i think this is saying huge things to the martial arts world, that a kenpo guy is on the ground doing ju jitsu. its about time. my shaolin kenpo master, who is 8th degree black, also has years of ju jitsu training plus has a bachelors in sports science.

Training for years in a traditional system under a respected instructor is like night and day compared to training a few weeks in an MMA gym. You don't just learn to beat someone up. You learn to control your emotion, gain humility, and also grasp a deeper perspective on what you're doing. I studied TaeKwonDo ITF from the ages of 9-15, had some rough teenage years, and came back at 26-27 to fullfill my Black requirements. For those wondering that is the traditional form of TaeKwonDo.

Jeffs a badass

I once knew a guy, with no formal training in any martial art, that "won" a street fight he did not start. He bit his aggressor's nose off. End of fight. Lesson?

Have respect for every discipline and do your best to stay out of fights. You never know what the other guy brings to the fight.

that guy likes stabbing people in the ass

@jbravo70 Also, MMA does not prepare you for the other aspects of self defense. One on one, yes. Dealing with multiple attacker, environment, weapons, fear, and protecting others in your care is a not a part of MMA.

On the other hand, don't discount an MMA fighter. Otherwise you could be taking a long nap if you do.

@jbravo70 I agree. There is much to be learned. One of our fighters were in UFC 3 and a few later ones. Ground is essential for any self defense orientated system (as I do not care about the sport aspect). What makes the MMA fighter great, is the live training. This gives you a short cut to being effective.

However, the same rules that allow for live training are the same thing that could be a liability in the real world. One does not want to fight, one need to end a conflict quickly.
