Just for Giggles: 30-Second Video Link

[Dale Seago]

One of Jeff Sherwin's black belts at the Martinez, CA dojo, a young lad named Juan, has this sick habit of collecting 30-second video clips of himself attacking Bujinkan senior instructors and suffering the consequences. This year he's "collected" several Japanese shihan and a couple of Aussies; and in the last week or so he's finally gotten his own instructor (Jeff) and me.

With Juan's permission I've had my WebMistress upload "my" video at my website so I could share it, and I thought some of you might enjoy a look as it does capture the "fun" feeling of training in my dojo. (I love it when another student, holding the camera, tells him he still has 20 seconds to go.)

This is totally unscripted, but there ARE constraints: Juan gets to do whatever he wants to try to take me out, while I'm making a point of not injuring him -- so I'm not striking, kicking, using joint-breaking locks or throws, or using weapons, which allows things to be drawn out much longer.

I think the really funny part is at the end, when he's still trying to squirm loose (until I put my fingertips suggestively on his eyelids) while muttering, ". . .kill. . ."

Sorry but your site seems to be down...?

 

[Dale Seago]

Hmm. . .looks like it is at the moment. That's exceedingly rare -- try again later.

That was so funny. I can't wait to get my butt beat like that soon. He he. Looks like they were having fun.

:roflmao:

That looks like good fun!

 

[MA-Caver]

That was worth the wait of the download... still grinning.
One of the best ways to learn... getting your *** kicked In a controlled setting/situation of course.

More please... if you got 'em.

Great clip!

 

[Lisa]

Glad to see that happens in other schools besides mine That was really funny.

 

[Kurohana]

That was classic, Dale. Thanks for sharing. I'd love to see some of his other "lessons".

 

[Cryozombie]

Fun Fun Fun.

 

[Kreth]

Nice clip, Dale. Looks like your crew enjoys their training...

Alas, I don't. . . :idunno:

 

[shane23ss]

That was great.

I think this vid shows an excellent example of attack as defense. At one point, when his attacker hesitates (apparently confused by seeing Dale in dogi rather than tartan ), Dale moves in immediately with a takedown...

Just for that, Jeff:

I'll have you know we have very nice traditional tatami mats, same as the ones in the Hombu dojo in Japan. And in Juan's case, it doesn't matter anyway: He doesn't feel pain the way people do. :lol:

I'm sorry! I meant no offense...my breakfalls are terrible and the idea of falling into anything besides water (i'm a diver) or foam doesn't appeal terribly to me..but hey it comes with the territory..
I will try to word things more carefully in the futre
