  • Thanks for the vid next time I'm attacked by a robot who strikes once then freezes I'll be sure to use your techniques

  • i respect this teacher and his 'jitsu' however these techniques don't seem practical in a real world setting. These are set patterns applied to the 'quaos' of combat. Who strikes like that in a real fight or competition, i know it's desisgned to illustrate the movement but it seems to be ineffecient. but i respect the art and this is in know way meant to be a put down

    reply thank you

see all

  • bull. none of this will work work in actual attacks. you are full of fakes. i will challandge any one to a fight ,that disagrees with me. this angers me over aND OVER TO SEE THIS FAKE CRAP. A REAL FIGHTER KNOWS THIS IS NOT TRUE COMBAT , THIS IS BULL AND FOOLS! YOU THINK YOU CAN EVEN HANDLE A ANGREY LARGE TRUCK TRIVER HIGH OR SLIGHTLY DRUNK ? YOUR IDIOTS ! IVE FOUGHT TO THE DEATH, IVE SEEN THIS LIEING CRAP OVER AD OVER ON YOU VIDEOS AND IM SICK OF IT . WHEN DEATH IS THERE ,IT ALLL CHANGES! FAKE!

  • @CalicoatMaker very true because most of it has been watered down or made easier because people didnt want to work hard, that why i do shotokan and learn from a sensei not a book like this guy

  • herb

    

  • Because North Carolina is the Samurai capitol of the world.

    Sorry, but not ONE Samurai ever trained in slow motion with a willing opponent. Why? BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO TRAIN TWICE AND UNLEARN ONCE IN BETWEEN!

    This is why almost EVERY martial arts school in the western world is bullshit

  • lame...

  • No one has ever in my life tried to karate chop my dome piece like that before.

    I'v been puched in the nose and kicked in the nutts but what asshole is going to raise his hand above his own head and karate chop me in the head?

  • BULLSHIDO

  • considering that a katana blades lenght is 28 around 28 inches, i would believe that

    tom cohen already is standing in reach distance of his opponent....just good to know

  • techniques without physical technically... like not knowing how to jump but yet your teaching backflips... the reaction is delayed because you know your oponents initial strikes, theres no natural reaction or reasoning involved, its like reading a power point prentation off of a post-it without looking up once. these moves can be effective if it was used in a timely fasion though, but this demonstration is folly. just pretend the oponent has a weapon..
