"If i were you, i will go to the bar and pick up a fight with a BIG and BAD guy with a lot of tatoos and have a COLD beer afterward in another bar to celerate 1 more accomplishment if you know what i'm saying."

What kind of advice are you giving the orginator of this thread? What would your instructor say if he/she saw what you had written above? Thats terrible advice. You honestly think that picking a fight is an accomplishment. Anyone can do that. The Martial Arts should be used to defend one's self. Further, tattoos don't make you bad. If your still stuck at that point, stay in the shallow end, and certainly don't give anymore advice. You can get real-live training in the studio/dojo/garage/etc. Twinkletoes doesn't need to pick a fight, he needs some good workout partners. What if he got his throat slit taking your advice by picking a fight in a bar? Don't think it doesn't happen.

Yes. This argument AGAIN.
50 years ago, Karate people used to bang their fingers into buckets of rocks, pound their knuckles on Makiwara pads. Now, we know that these training methods are not the MOST effective. Why can't people argue that Kata is not the MOST effective training method for fighting?
Kenpoists too often gain a sense of invulnerability from their Kata and technique training. Every Kenpo Black Belt needs to get tackled and submitted by a BJJ White Belt just once so they know that they are not invulnerable.
Let's leave our egos at the door, open our minds, and accept that other styles and training methods are valid. Let's also accept that other arts are evolving and improving and that we must evolve and improve or become relegated to the history books.

On some of the Brown and Black Belt technique tapes he does that, more than a few times. He started getting comfortable in front of the camera about Green and started really pumping. You have to remember these are instructional tapes and not a demo, at least that's what he was aiming for. They act as an artificial memory when you need that extra boost before class or before a test. He was not looking to sell what he could do, more what he could do for the viewer. I'm on the recieving end so I know what he can do LOL. Larry will be in England in the next few months so keep an eye out. If you're near London around June 6th and 7th you'll have to come over to Kevin Mills (BKKU)studio, I'll be vacationing (on holiday) for a few days and didn't want to miss Kevin so you can see me there. Email me for details
Have a great Kenpo day

Oh and what about if it does work out and he kicks said bikers butt, and maybe kills or injures him. How is he supposed to defend that in court?

Ah, the Summer Camp? I noticed your name was down as the guest instructor! I actually had a letter from Jenny Mills inviting me to it, but I don't know if I can make it. It's a long way away from where I live unfortunately, but I also don't know if I can get the time off work
I've got 3 exams the week before as well (next week) so I'm going to be pretty knackered by the weekend!

Why do you ask "How can he have some good workout partners?" "Good" workout partners in my experience, are developed through relationships outside of the training forum. The same base of that relationship outside the kwoon, must be carried into the training hall. Both parties must be of the understanding that the intent is not to hurt or injure, but to train hard, learn and become better martial artists. It is not true that one or both will become injured. I know many that train this way. Bumps, bruises, dents, of course. Those however, are necessary. Anyone can have "good" workout partners.
"his throat got slitted on the street? his martial art skill is no good. Period."
In an incident such as this one, there can be a large number of variables that come into play. One's martial art's skill is only one of them. The possible situations and scenarios that lead up to one getting their throat slit are infinite.
"I don't have to run around and give advise to anybody here."
You're absolutely right, you probably shoudn't, because the advice you did give was worthless.
Keep your advice to yourself. Go where the fight is not. That's part of the yellow belt curriculum.

okay, you're either 10 years old or you're from another country, because I'm having a rough time following along with your posts especially this specific passage:
"i will do that and should do you. Yellow belt or black belt is not really matter."
A piece of advice that carries worth, is the one that proves beneficial if followed. A piece of advice that carries worth is one that may have positive ramifications as a direct result of the advice taken. Go where the fight is not. I believe this is a good example. Aside, there are many pieces of advice that carry worth. Your earlier attempt by suggesting to Twinkletoes to pick a fight in a neighborhood or bar, was not one that carries worth, thus, worthless. Is this hard for you to follow?
Did I miss something??? I didn't notice any "bad language" or "you suck" type of comments from webpage20022003 towards Guiseppe, I even went back and looked for them. Can someone tell me exactly why he got suspended please, I've seen other "members" who are far more disrespectful, but I admit that I didn't see any "other" thread where Mr.webpage20022003 was disrespectful. Please Mr/Mrs Moderators enlighten me as to why he got suspended so I know what he did that was so wrong. Thank you.Originally posted by Michael Billings
Appreciate the Suspension - I was watching the other thread where you warned him. Good call on this one.
Kudos
