Here is a match of me and my buddy Dave working out on May 1st, 2011. I am 5'10, 200 pounds. My buddy Dave is 6'1, 275 pounds. This time, we introduce some body punching. A year ago, my buddy was nervous and timid about using his strength and aggression. After working out with me on a regular basis for a year, (during which I learned more than he did), he is now a much more confident fighter, proficient in some of the most important fundamentals of any martial art: staying relaxed, learning how to connect with your center of gravity, learning the importance of controlling your opponent's 2 of 5 (arms, legs, head), learning that where the head goes the body follows. I am not deeply skilled in any one martial art, with formal training in BJJ, wrestling, Muay Thai. But, I am good at recognizing and teaching the fundamentals anyone needs to master to truly excel at a martial art. Center of Gravity, relaxation. My buddy Dave could go into a BJJ academy as a beginner and not have to worry about learning the basics that most schools ignore. Anyday now I will post a workout session where he gets his first submission on me. How proud of him I will be when that happens. I'm offer my services to other men who are seeking to become comfortable with their desire to be physically aggressive, to use their aggression to build bonds of friendship. Look me up if you are interested in experiencing this process yourselves.
WARNING: I work best with gay or bisexual warrior-brothers, because my aggression is tied into my sexual energy, and one of the services I offer is teaching you to be comfortable with the very human and sacred sexual arousal that is natural for warrior-brothers who enjoy fighting. I am sorry, but it is a terrible, hypocritical affliction of our society that insists the two should be separate. I will happily work with men whose inborn aggression is not tied to their sexual energy with total respect as well.
teach him to sort his balance out and bodyweight distribution JP.
He'll be awesome then

@steadyed Thanks for the tip. It's always good to get feedback from a third set of eyes. Balance and bodyweight distribution are foundational for sure!
