Because there is nothing more dangerous than false confidence.

I’m not deleting this. It’s just too much fun.

If they're actually out there, they probably don't want any attention.
Either way, you won't find them online.
😢

Don't get me wrong, I'm not out here defending him.
I'm just curious.
George Martin70, are you saying that degree is a total fake?

The certificate for day two says Kukulj handed it over himself, and there isn't any mention of it being a disrespectful move.

If the certificate is a fake, then whatever. But if it’s legitimate, Kukulj is in deep trouble for giving out a day two cert.

If I’m following you correctly, Kukulj gave him that second day.
If you're right, then Kukulj is completely screwed.
Or maybe you're just wrong.
If there's some other explanation, please lay it out for me. I'm interested.

You’re being constructive here.

Regarding the urban survival school, I think your best bet is to just go check it out for yourself.

Either way, you’ll likely get an answer from someone on this forum, whether it's Alexander Long37 or someone even more intense.

It looks like you definitely got sold a bill of goods there.
Kykushin karate isn't exactly the kind of thing you can rely on if you ever find yourself in a real scrap on the street.

There’s no such thing as a magic bullet. Just hit up a few different gyms and try out various disciplines to see what actually clicks with you.

Judo is essentially a set of rules for kids.
I started when I was four years old. It was fun.

And maybe he actually thought he had a shot at winning the tournament?

Dammit.
You should come down to Chicago for the seminar, or just wait until we host another one in Miami.
It might happen before next summer.

Exactly. It’s all about having a diverse skill set.
Basically, we're talking mixed martial arts.

Basically, that style is just the American version of UFC.

Paul King78 said:Look, I’m a total amateur when it comes to martial arts—Wikipedia and Google are pretty much my only sources of info right now. But Google isn't giving me the real scoop on what the scene is actually like in Los Angeles, so I figured I’d ask you guys. Out of all these self-proclaimed "masters" out there, who are the genuine experts teaching classes that you’d actually trust? I know the options aren't endless and most people just cycle through the same few styles. If I had my pick, I’d go with Muay Thai or Ninjutsu. Since I don't get to choose, I’d at least like to train under someone who truly knows their stuff. Are there actually any real deal instructors left?

If you happen to run into anyone teaching Ninjutsu in LA, please let me know.
I'm really interested.

Jonathan Johnson67 said:there was some discussion about this on the forum before:

From what I recall, there isn't a single Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym in Los Angeles that hasn't been torn apart by someone else in the city. My advice is to go check out a few different clubs. See which one feels right and which style you actually enjoy. You're going to find people who support you here, and you're going to find people who criticize you there. It happens everywhere.

Nice work, happy. You nailed the situation perfectly.
The reality is that Los Angeles has plenty of talented instructors, but it also has way too much ego.

The real question is whether Mike Tyson did that on purpose.

George Martin70 said:-who are these people who actually claim to know what internal martial arts are, and which ones
are they actually teaching?

-why are these styles called "internal" if they don't have anything to do with chi (you just
read someone's type and master them from the inside out 😛 ) and why are they even labeled
as internal if they're just based on coordination and God knows what else, and is
Chekhov's WC also an internal art?

Here is a link if you want to take a look.
There's some interesting stuff in there.

David Lewis7 said:I assume you’re just training to be a chef?

Ninjutsu is essentially just aimless joint locks thrown around everywhere. It doesn't build stamina, it doesn't get you in shape, and it isn't relaxing like sitting on a couch. Plus, the techniques don't actually serve any purpose, not even for killing time.

When exactly was a martial art supposed to be used to kill an opponent?

People have always had weapons. If someone is more skilled with them, or if they simply own higher-quality gear, we’ll just let the bank account decide who wins...

Maybe Ninjutsu is.
I wouldn't know about Ninjutsu.
I haven't been training it long enough.

Does a martial art even need a purpose?

Ava Cale!!!
What's up?

I'm pretty sure we finally figured out who Mark Wilson39 is!
Buahahahahahah !!! 😈
