Self induced pain

Unless I missed something, I don't understand the "trucker" reference...

Both of those guys got into the blue car at the end....

Oh, that's easily explainable. If you ain't driving a bright green taxi, you are considered a "trucker". It's more or less like making a decision between being a Hot Wheels or Johnny Lightning disciple.


COOL...

NOT SO MUCH...

It looked like a fat slob beating up a skinny slob.

[Nitro Express]

Still one of the funniest things I have ever seen

Everyone is kung fu fighting.

Errrrrr, one fat guys sits on a skinny guy and throws some ineffectual punches. It looks like the fights people used to have in middle school. (Aside: my dad always taught me to aim the first punch at the gut - if you aim at the head you have higher chance of missing and then getting taken to the ground).

I am a little concerned by the fact that it was filmed. Coincidence? Or set up?

I am also a little amused by the idea that being 'a trucker' automatically qualifies you for being a 'tough guy'.

Your dad was right. You can take the wind out of them with a gut punch. Also the best way to score a knock out punch on someone is to keep punching their torso and they concentrate on that and then they never see the knockout punch coming.

Here ya go. A rickshaw driver vs. NYC cab driver. LOL!

My two favorites when each public fight comes up:






*My spiders dick is bigger than your spiders dick.

Hey the guy in the sweat suit is doing it right. He's throwing punches from the shoulder to get the leverage. He's got his feet apart for stability. He's laying it into them instead of dancing all around and waiting for the other guy to do something.

[SunisinuS]

Always fucking fast and fierce... and watch the spider link i sent you in the edit. Your balance is always important in a boxer's mind. Now....can the motherfucker do floor work.

*always go for the guy with the biggest mouth first. Keep him close.

Now "Sunglasses" in the clip you sent....I need you to watch him. I think he is security for a local fabric store. Notice how he shows what he is packing to the camera first off? He watches traffic before he starts separating them. The other well dressed Gentleman with the cap on separates the rickshaw driver "who started it" and tells the cabbie to get back in the car and not go to jail "evidenced by the 5 cops surrounding him at the end". You know: Kinda just wants me to dress better. Match my fucking socks again?

That's not strictly true , in most martial arts reaction force is an important ingredient in the creation of power . In self defence that's not true , with very little practice or training people can throw punches without the creation of reaction force or throwing punches from the shoulder .
This gives the element of surprise and stops any attack being telegraphed thus blocked or dodged.
And as for standing with your feet apart , not sure what that means but a moving target or opponent is much more dangerous .
Imho.

So if someone sees me on floor work work your stomach......tell me how that is done. I started my thought with the Chinatown clip above vandeleur....so myself personally....I feel i have put time in as a boxer.....but i naturally fight with my feet. A wrestler (one of our oldest traditions in both east and west) uses floor work in a different way. To fight....I believe you must know all your ranges.

This is why I order chinese takeout.

I learned when I was very young to respect the human dignity of everyone I met, to observe them closely and listen to them carefully. From the adults in my extended family I learned that everybody has a story but not everyone can tell it. I learned that most of life's greatest wounds are self-inflicted, that trying and failing is far better than not trying at all, that everyone makes mistakes but most people are basically good. As a boy growing up in the civil rights years, then during Vietnam, I came to see politics as a way to help other people make their own life stories better. All along the way I learned a lot from other leaders, especially those who befriended me and shared their own experiences. Yitzhak Rabin reminded me that you don't make peace with your friends. Nelson Mandela told me and showed me that you can't be a great leader if you're driven by resentment and hatred, no matter how justified those feelings are. To be free to lead, you have to let a lot of things go. I'm grateful to them and everyone else who taught me to look for the dreams and hurts, hopes and fears, in the eyes of everyone I met.

so you know the black t-shirted hat (in this case plate) throwing chink that shot his wad.

You keep your feet apart because it's harder to knock you over. They teach this in fencing, fire arms training, and boxing. You generate more power in a punch throwing from the shoulder because you get the leverage behind it. It's street fighting, not jujitsu.

[vandeleur]

I take your point about the generation of power and balance but a stationary target is a stationary target
