NICE love all the new vids!!



[TakingItToTheMMAT]

@RustyO03, thanks.  Ha ha, this one is over 2 years old though. Notice the transitional intro clip with a partial DamageControlMMA sound bite and the old title screen from the Taking It To The MMAT days. Guys who subscribe to our blog at DamageControlMMA,com saw this 2 years ago when it first came out.

I know that he's been working very close with Vunak.

Incredible!.. Seeing these techniques, I'd say Erik has been adding some Choy Lee Fut techniques to his repertoire!.. Namely Sow Chui (roundhouse punch with the forearm) and Pek Chui (hammer punch with the forearm). Sifu Mark Whelan from Australia has always been an expert at applying these techniques. Search for wailungma channel on youtube and you'll see Sifu Mark practicing wooden dummy where some of these techniques are applied.

Thank you for yet another great video!!

@powaowa1

depends on what you wanna do. A nice hit to the neck can make you very dizzy.

[xAkiyamax]

Nice demo. This stuff is bread and butter in Koryu Uchinadi Kenpo Jutsu.

[powaowa1]

instead of putting the forearm to the neck, would it not be better to go elbow to face or head?

[DBKK]

love the fake wrestler noises, and whos that hippie dude at the end. same guy as the sarah carlquist vid?

[brottarnacke]

That's a very good idea to attack the neck while in the thai-clinch, I've never even thought of that before. Weaken the neck with strikes and he'll have a harder time defending against getting his head pulled down in the thai-clinch.

[simmme]

Caveman technique!

[sumguyncal]

That technique is so bad ass.

[NuclearConvoy]

Damn, those short shots look fucking brutal. I wish I had the money to take some MMA training. Nevertheless, I see the perfect aplicability of these kinds of caveman-esque shots in any fight, in the cage or if someone jumps you in the street or a bar. Bloody nice.
