Martial Arts and Entertainers

[Darrencowan]

It makes me question every high rank Parker awarded.

are you trying to get your *** kicked?

 

[Darrencowan]

if not physically, but verbally, mentally, spiritually--the 3-way continuum.

 

[Darrencowan]

I think you lack respect because you're following by example, you're following your leaders. They act like little kids, point fingers, cast blame, call each other names, make stupid faces, descredit each other (I bet you loved learning that principal, right). Maybe you are so insignificant you just waaaaant to be wubbed.

22:23 - Kata is a form of dance?

kata is a form of dance, that's why Elvis was the master kata practitioner. That boy could dance!

 

[Tez3]

How do you explain Judge Rinder

It's not a court nor is he a judge lol. He is a very intelligent highly qualified QC who has prosecuted some of the nastiest people on the planet though so his programme is a bit of fun for him.

Yes I know lol. Never watched it.

Yeah well his kata looks like garbage in any video so obviously not that good

I watch it lol, I have friends who know him and his family ( the Jewish community in the UK is like that) and he's a good guy. I enjoy his sarcasm, so similar to mine lol.

Maybe calm down just a bit, and stop throwing around accusations about an instructor you apparently know nothing of?

Surprising ones?

Forrest Whitaker has a black belt in Kenpo and studies Inosanto Kali

While not surprising that Lundgren knows Martial arts he is 3rd Dan in Kyokushin Karate and was actually a British Open champ back in the 80s. In 79 at the World Open Karate Tournament in Japan he actually made it to the "final" via KO's and lost via a controversial decision. And yes he had to borrow a brown belt to compete because he was technically a green belt.

John Cusack is 6th Dan under Benny the Jet.

 

[Juany118]

Robert Downey Jr. studies Wing Chun.

Christian Bale studies under the same Sifu.

 

[Juany118]

Dolph was the man. European Kyokushin champion and Sweden's team captain in the '79 World Open Full Contact Karate Championship. And he was a green belt.

Edit: so people don't get the wrong idea, everyone else were black belts.

Edit 2: Dolph still is the man. A group of guys broke into his house a few years ago in a robbery attempt. They tied up his wife and daughters. When they saw a family picture and realized who's house they were in, they dropped everything and took off.

Just demonstration but he can still break stuff.

Wow, that is bit surprising, and what a teacher to have.

 

[JP3]

Is there a single way or reason to train?

I can think of one. With commitment.

It makes me question every high rank Parker awarded.

To be fair, Elvis' 7th and 8th dan ranks were awarded to him by Kang Rhee, in Pasaryu karate.

 

[Paul_D]

Only if you don't understand kata.

I guess this could be fake, but I never heard it disputed.

 

[Tames D]

Excuse me? And who's going to do this?

Umm this is an discussion board if you can't take someone's opinion without resulting to insults this place isn't for you. I don't agree with what he said but he's still allowed to say it. I don't know why you're getting so defensive you don't even do kenpo.

You said you don't like fights but you just threatened to beat someone up over their opinion...classy

 

[Headhunter]

Excuse me? And who's going to do this?

Maybe he thinks ed parkers is going to rise from the grave and seek you out. I mean if ed Parker was so tough he'd come out the grave and smash my face into my keybosgajkssjakhu
