Now that the disclaimer has been included, let's teach those cops how to defend against the samurai sword, and apply the deadly poison hand - Dragon Snatches the Pearl. Holy ****.)

Limited questions from a limited guy, looking for limited answers by limited people.

i kindof liked his chainpunch style arm movements. but it sounds kindof funny how he describes things...the female warrior... -get in a poison hand hit.

some good ideas in the third, the second video with the fire is kindof rediculous and i dont see that many techniques.
