Tonfaform #4. DISCLAIMER: These clips are for entertainment and general informational purposes only. We are not instructing you, or encouraging you to do or to believe anything, except to view, enjoy, and think. Never forget that martial arts, like any rigorous course of physical activity, presents the risk of injury, sometimes serious, disabling, or even fatal. Actual techniques should only be practiced in a controlled environment emphasizing safety, under the direct supervision of a Black Belt instructor (in whom you have trust and confidence), and only after you have been cleared by your personal physician. Tonfa, in one form or another, have been around since the inception of martial arts. In the modern world, they stand in the shadow of other more portentous weapons. A typical Tonfa might be a flat cut, or circular cut wood plank, about 24 inches in total length, with a handle projecting perpendicular, several inches in from one of the ends. Traditionally, these were solid, single piece units, with the handle mounted/anchored through the plank, and permanently fixed into position. They did not swivel, nor were they mounted on washers to facilitate spinning or rotation around the axis of the handle. Modern Tonfa can be found with built in swivels, ball bearings, or free spinning handles, facilitating rotational moves. I prefer traditional units. They manipulate and maneuver just fine, without the add ons (all of the accompanying video was shot using traditional weapons...free of tricks or gimmicks). In essence, it is a two handed weapon (one in each hand), which allows for full movement of the body, and use of feet as appropriate (generally I prefer sweeps and balance attacks over kicks). Because of the physical properties of the side handle configuration, tremendous rotational velocity can be developed in even the tightest of spaces (not unlike the rotational characteristics of nunchaku). Twin Tonfa can be rotated and spun like Arnis middle sticks, and in fact, many Arnis drills and techniques can be executed with Tonfa, after only minor adjustments. They can be used as thrusting weapons, and fit perfectly into the postures and stances supporting traditional (hard style) low, high and mid blocks. If that's not enough, a little creative improvisation reveals that gripping the trunk of the Tonfa permits using the handle as a striking element, much like a hammer. Or...with an additional sprinkle of improvisation, the trunk held Tonfa begins to act like a cane or extended hook, opening up a world of pull downs, joint locks and control techniques. Black Belts will invest approximately 12-18 months of hard work in becoming excellent with the Tonfa. Law enforcement personnel undergo a much truncated basic training regimen. They are not Tonfa experts, they carry only a single unit, and use it with one hand free. This facilitates control options crucial to law enforcement, but limits the tactical array available with two Tonfa. Regardless, Tonfa, even as a solitary unit, has proven its value in non lethal police applications. At Iron Crane, we teach Tonfa to advanced students, typically after they have experienced middle stick fighting (Arnis), knife defense, and Bo. By the time students pick up Tonfa, the basic instincts, stances and footwork are in place. The student is first introduced to the basic moves, then becomes proficient with combinations of the basics. Once students can move the weapons with confidence, they learn Kata. Each Kata is progressively more complex. So...over the course of training, you acquire the moves, explore the nuances, perfect them, and then solidify the knowledge with a crowning Kata. Kata #1 addresses the basic pattern off of a down block, introduces double blocks, and multiple strikes. Kata #2 goes to the next level, emphasizing the down block/high block sequence, followed by the basic strike pattern. The middle sections close with transitional cross body swings. Both forms are modeled on Shotokan's Taikyoku forms. Katas 3, 4 (Tonfa Tiifa); and 5 (Hama Higa) represent Black Belt level concepts. Each embodies a unique array of skills, angles and techniques. Tonfa Tiifa is widely popular with West Coast Isshinryu proponents. Hama Higa (named after the Okinawan Island, probably where it originated) is also taught at Isshinryu schools, but is equally popular with virtually all Okinawan derivative systems. Kata #3 was created at the Iron Crane Dojo, essentially as a final repository for techniques not preserved in the other forms. For more information visit www.ironcrane.com Used with Permission.

The Destruction of Boxing
The Destruction of Boxing What's better: Boxing or mixed martial arts? This is a topic has been gently danced around for years. or the most part, MMA types have expressed nothing but respect for boxing, as it is one of the base components of their sport and boasts a rich history. Boxing types have largely responded with disdain. Promoters have referred to MMA as "trash," boxers have disrespected MMA fighters' skills, and hack boxing writers too lazy to learn anything new have attempted to brush off the subject, since it wasn't what they grew up with in 1923.But things reached have reached a boiling point over the past week. Floyd Mayweather Jr. was quoted as saying "UFC ain't s--,. It ain't but a fad. Anyone can put a tattoo on their head and get in a street fight. We should put Liddell against a good heavyweight, under Mayweather Promotions, and if Chuck wins, then I'll give him a million dollars out of my own pocket. These are guys who couldn't make it in boxing." UFC president Dana White shot back: "He says he wants to pay Chuck Liddell a million dollars to fight with a heavyweight boxer and see if he'll last. How about this? How about we pay Floyd a million dollars to fight MMA and see how long he lasts. Or even better ... I'll give him a million dollars of my own money if he boxes anyone other than Oscar (De La Hoya) and more than 10 people buy tickets."Of course Floyd Mayweather is gonna "call out" the UFC. Boxing has become a laughingstock in American sports entertainment. He has no choice but to create animosity or controversy to get noticed. MMA and in particular, the UFC is not only surviving, but thriving. It represents what people want to pay their hard earned money to watch. That is; exciting, fast-paced, and multi-dimension.I enjoy watching both sports. UFC has its warriors just like boxing. But, Mayweather does not fall into the warrior category (in my opinion). He's a runner. The day i see Mayweather stand in the middle of the ring and battle it out with a "WORTHY" opponent, like the true boxing warriors of the past, maybe then i might listen to his loud mouth. But for now he's just blowing hot air. Mayweather! u don't impress me like a Chuck Liddell does. He stands TOE TO TOE, you don't, you dance around the ring.Honestly I think that some MMA fighters would fare much better in boxing then any boxer would in MMA. Again not all MMA fighters but some. Those guys definitely have much more heart then most boxers. Most boxers like Floyd just got big #### mouths. Props to Floyd for what he does in the ring can't take anything away from him but don't speak of something you know nothing bout.By the way why you guys hating on Dana White for the guy used to be a boxing trainer. He saw the UFC and had ideas and ways to make it better and he did. Props to him for what he did. Dude has got to stick up for what he created. former heavyweight boxing champion, former co-star of Rocky V, and former contractor of HIV Tommy Morrison. What's he doing opening his mouth? We have to go back and remember Chuck Liddell's original comment towards Morrison during his infamous interview with Good Morning Texas where Liddell was out of it after taking medicine. When asked who he would want to fight, Liddell responded with Morrison, obviously as a joke. Well it seems that Tommy boy isn't taking it that way... Similar to his boxing counterparts in the form of Kermit Cintron, Floyd Mayweather Jr, as well as HBO announcer Jim Lampley, Morrison has gone ahead and defended his sport against those who compete in MMA. He's also expressed his interest in fighting Liddell and has even said that he plans to call him out at the UFC 71 press conference, which is scheduled for tomorrow by the way. Let's break down Morrison's comments... Morrison stated that he will be making his MMA debut on June 9th in Arizona against John Stover. The fight will use modified MMA rules where neither fighter is permitted to take the fight nor continue it on the ground. He also talked about his future plans which include a victory over Stover, another boxing match under the Top Rank banner, and then a "mega PPV fight against Liddell in Japan"..."This guy's like 350 pounds, so no, I'm not going to the ground. I saw a tape of him the other day, and he's a big son of a bitch but he's awkward and slow. But I'm just doing it to help Peter mckinn out, pick up a little money, and sharpen my skills. Then, 20 days later I'll be back on a Top Rank card at the same place. This is a one time thing. I'm making money and sharpening my skills and it could possibly lead to a mega pay per view fight with Chuck Liddell in Japan down the line. I'll go over there, make about ten million bucks, slap him out in three rounds...easiest ten million dollars you can make in your life."
Mc Cabe - 001 Cane Form Demonstrated
Cane Form Demonstrated.DISCLAIMER: These clips are for entertainment and general informational purposes only. We are not instructing you, or encouraging you to do or to believe anything, except to view, enjoy, and think. Never forget that martial arts, like any rigorous course of physical activity, presents the risk of injury, sometimes serious, disabling, or even fatal. Actual techniques should only be practiced in a controlled environment emphasizing safety, under the direct supervision of a Black Belt instructor (in whom you have trust and confidence), and only after you have been cleared by your personal physician. After spending some time working cane self defense and flow, this form was created as a vehicle for concepts not being presented elsewhere. There comes a time in the life of every martial artist where multiple airborne kicks are forever locked in the past, along with full contact, and falls to solid surfaces. I too can remember when I was young and invincible. Frankly, it's now a distant dream!. An essential tenet of Gun Fu is that every practitioner must continue to improve with each passing year. Generally, skill level should double with each level of rank. In the same vein, you should, like a very fine wine, improve with age, producing your greatest achievements as you approach your final sunset. That is not to deny there are injuries, or even physical limitations which meld into who you are as you mature. But good Gun Fu means finding the answer, and that answer can never be to "give up" or to "quit". Ancient Fury (also referred to as Ancient Master) represents one of many forms in the Gun Fu system designed to be executed by someone whose fundamental skills are sound, but which does not require the physical flamboyance of youth (hence its name). It demands confident movement, efficient speed, and complex cane work, as a conceptual fight unfolds against multiple attackers, all of whom lay defeated at the end. The Cane is often overlooked in martial arts training. Frankly, it combines much of what you can find in the study of Nunchaku, with movement of the Jo, and the lightning strikes of Arnis. Some have even convincingly demonstrated a direct link between the Cane and Sword. Within Gun Fu, Cane is a complete subsystem, taking 1-2 years to learn. Typically, those who make the effort puzzle over how they overlooked this unique weapon in the first place. Used with Permission. Copyright 2000-2009, Mc Cabe and Associates, Tacoma, WA.

Final Fantasy Video Walkthrough Part 7 - Elfland
More preparations and storyline. Money will be needed. Commentary: 1:50 - The Wolves of the sea. Kind of a pain until you learn LIT2. Then, easy money. 4:07 - The Castle of Elf holds...elves. Duh. 4:19 - This Astos sounds like a real jerk. 4:43 - Ah, so it becomes clear... 5:03 - I wonder if Square considered the drug-related implications of this. Anyways, your path should be obvious - beat Astos, get Crystal, get Herb. But to find Astos... 5:46 - This is Elfland. The most significant thing you can get here is the LIT2 spell, which does lightning damage to all enemies. KAOS can't cast it yet, but it's good to have for when he can next level. FIR2 does fire damage to all enemies. HOLD paralyzes one target. LOK2 makes an enemy -harder- to hit, raising it's evade by 20%. Yep, it's bugged. 5:59 - You'll want a Silver Sword for your Fighter and Red Mage as soon as you can swing it. Iron Nunchucks are good for the Black Belt. If you care, get the Black Mage a Large Knife. A Thief should get the Sabre. Iron Staff is an alternate (and not as good) weapon for the Black Belt. 6:42 - Actually, it is a grave. Not a tomb. 6:45 - Heh. Cute. Erdrick is the legendary hero of the Dragon Warrior series, so I guess they were making some sort of statement. Or they didn't like what the tombstone originally said ("Here lies Link"). The dates were added for a Nintendo Power contest. 7:17 - Can't afford much here right now, but...Copper Bracelet is good for the wizards, it has the same protective values as Wooden Armor. Bracelets are worn in the Body Armor slot, but tend to be really expensive. Caps should be bought for everyone except the Fighter, who should of course use the Wooden Helmet. Also, the Iron Shield replaces the wooden one you got earlier. I get the Helm and will get the rest later. 8:01 - More magic shops? Yep, Elfland sells Level 4 spells as well, for the low low price of 4000 GP apiece. 8:33 - ...I don't have enough money for the inn. Oops. Well, let's go kill some random imps. 9:16 - That was drudgery. And messy. If only there was an easier way...let's go to our ship and press A and B together a bunch of times. I think it's 30 or 40. 9:24 - What's this? A slide puzzle? How...boring! If you solve this, you get 100 GP. I dither around with it for a while, but I hate slide puzzles. Then back to the in to save...I'm going leveling. The real way. Without puzzles.

Final Fantasy (NES) Video Walkthrough Part 1 - Preparing for adventure!
It begins. Commentary: 0:17 - I set the Respond Rate to 5, this is the speed at which battles progress. Adjust it to at least 4, or your fights will be very very slow. Press left and right to adjust it. 0:25 - These are the six classes. You pick four members of your party. This party's names were chosen by members of the sydlexia.com forums (www.sydlexia.com). 0 - Fighter GISH was chosen by gpfontaine (www.youtube.com Fighters are very strong, they can use excellent weapons and armor, and get a lot of hit points. They're almost required, not taking at least one Fighter is considered a challenge. 0:48 - Black Belt DAN9 was chosen by Syd Lexia ((www.sydlexia.com). Black Belts are interesting...they have very poor weapon and armor selections, but can fight very well without weapons and have a natural armor rating if they wear no armor. They're also pretty buggy, I'll explain later. 0 - White Mage ABNO was chosen jointly by Chile Guy (no link given) and soldierhawk (www.youtube.com (both had similar names, so I combined them). White Mages have very low offense, can't use very many weapons or armor, but can use a wide selection of White Magic spells and have average HP. They act as your healer, so it's a good idea to take one. 1:09 - Black Mage KAOS was chosen by Andrew Man (www.myspace.com Black Mages are pitiful on offense and defense and have horrible HP, but can learn a lot of Black Magic spells. 1:13 - The party I chose is the "basic" party which is balanced and does well throughout the game, but part of the fun is making your own choice and going through your own way. About the two classes I didn't take: Thief is awful, with bad weapon and armor choices, mediocre HP, and it's only benefit (Thieves have high Luck, letting them run away easier) is bugged so it doesn't even work right. They promote to Ninja, however, which is awesome.. If you can put up with the horrible Thief until promotion, you get something really good out of it. Red Mage is an average fighter, who can use average armor and learns both White and Black Magic spells, although they learn them more slowly. They're dynamite at the beginning of the game,with incredible versatility, but seriously lag behind later. 1:18 - Start brings up the menu, which is mostly self explanatory. The numbers below ABNO and KAOS are spell slots, right now, they can only cast 2 1st level spells per day. 1:29 - This is Corneria Castle, where we can get some information on what to do first. You don't need to come here per se, but backstory and info is good. 1:59 - Bwa? This is one of many glitches and bugs in this game...the invisible woman. It's a layering screwup. 3:01 - We get the Key later. 3:10 - Leaving and coming back is quicker. 3:21 - Taking the stairs just requires walking onto them. You modern day kiddies laugh, but you have no idea how much of an innovation that is (see Warrior, Dragon). 3:41 - I just praise the game for innovation, and what do I walk into as the first quest? Save the princess. *sigh* 4:09 - Fast fact: This dancer's name was part of a Nintendo Power contest. I think it was added just for that. 4:26 - I spent a half hour trying to figure out the deal with this well. Seriously. It's really nothing. 4:31 - Basic equipment time! First, Armor. Fighters and Red Mages should get Chain. Black Belts and Thieves should get Wooden (?). Black and White Mages should get Cloth. 4:52 - Weapons...Fighters, Thieves, and Red Mages get Rapiers. Black Belts get Wooden Nunchucks (the unarmed damage is too weak at this point). White Mages should get an Iron hammer. Black Mages should get a Small Knife. 5:19 - Make sure you go to the WEAPON and ARMOR screens to equip these items! You can hold 4 weapons, but only equip one. Armor is the same way, though you can equip 4 pieces of armor (Body, Head, Shield, and Arm). 5:31 - The Status Screen. Most of this is useless or self explanatory. The most important thing to know is for every 32% of hit% you get another attack. 5:54 - With the stuff bought, time for spells. White Magic first, which is for healing, protection, and really messing up undead. CURE heals some hit points. HARM does damage to undead creatures. FOG increases the target's Absorb rating. RUSE increases the caster's Evade%. Note that only three spells can be learned per level, so choose wisely. 6:03 - Black Magic is the magic of dishing out the hurt. FIRE and LIT do Fire and Lightning damage respectively. SLEP puts all enemies to sleep for a round. LOCK...does nothing, it's bugged.
Martial Arts training vid (october 11 2009)
Another video. Trying to improve on my combination's and practicing my nunchucks again ^_^ Also trying to learn some new flips (although I failed pretty bad xd) I got a little lazy with the editing and the quality isn't so great this time. But still fairly good nonetheless
Dude Ninja:The Theory of Training
From the creators of The Theory of Self Defense comes the highly anticipated sequel: The Theory of Training. Learn from one the "best" as he teaches you on subjects ranging from mental training to physical health. Laugh as he carefully demonstrates the use of nunchucks, hand-to-hand combat, and even swords! Now in 480p High Definition for the clearest picture yet, this is a video we hope you will want to watch again and again!
Inunno
My shoryukens are admittedly not a God given gift that I can naturally throw out like a piece of hard candy at a poor little kid in a parade. They take hard work and training, and these are the steps I take to perfect my ability to shoryuken. Quite simply, I start off with stretching my arms. Nunchucks are very useful for this. After they're all stretched and warmed up, I give them some iron pumping, which I have shortened for your convenience. I then put on some weighted training gear and pound out some jab, cross, hook, uppercut, as you'll learn from P90X Kenpo. You see how much the weights effect my maximum speed in the end.

Tricky Martial Disco Art
Clips of me weapon freestyling and playing "Tricky Disco" on In The Groove2. Been training in Tae Kwon Do about 14-15 years and I've never been propperly taught how to use weapons. The staff, nunchucks and fans were all just a "watch and learn" or things I learned on my own from messing around with it alot. The kicking, forms, board breaking will be for a different video another time. I've been taking Haidong Gumdo (Korean sword art) for about 3 years now. For those who are black belts in this art, the sword clips are parts of Yedo 9. Candles!!! Compliments of Haidong Gumdo. Be careful when doing this at home. Of course, this video was edited but it actually took me a while to get all 10 candles out especially since I did it 3 times for camera purposes. Despite the fact that I am using a palm strike, NO, it does not create enough wind to "blow" all 10 candles out. If I was only putting out one candle then that might be a vaild argument. When using my left hand, you'll see the candles flicker and I show that it takes me a few tries for said purpose. I would have done it with a wooden sword but there was no space in my house and my sword was left at the dojang anyway. XD Arrow Stomping! For the music video I used the full version of "Tricky Disco"...well, I cut off about a good min. of the beginning, but yes, the steps are with the music as it is on the game. For those who want stepfile, go to groovestats.com and its on the "custom songs" page. I do not post my score because I played it twice for camera angles, and my score sucked both times. For those who must know, my highest score is a low 98% not fullcomboed =( ENJOY!!

Kenjutsu, U.S.A. (Virginia Beach YMCA)
Derived from the "Book of Five Rings" by Antonio lamotta, author of Shinobi Kai Scroll, Master of Pen and Sword, Castles of West Germany and Strategy of the Sword. All techniques were implemented from the teachings of Miyamoto Musashi. See WEBSITE: antoniolamotta.blogspot.com COMING SOON: kusarigama, nodachi, naginata and kanabo videos... I am obliged to make a mention of my study of dueling techniques of Heidelberg, which had paved my way towards understanding what Musashi was trying to convey. The intense details made Musashi's translated words seem first language to me, especially about the stances and leverage. Many think that Musashi's "Pushing Down the Pillow" meant to be some sort of downward block, but what he meant to convey was (to suffocate or to smother the attackers' momentum). In today's term "Nipping at the Bud" will be more appropriate. Pushing Down the Pillow meant to smother your attackers' plan before it blooms. It works everytime! " Fighting stances are just forms of telegraphing your intent. Just walk up and do him. His attack will have to go through the gate. If you would hold a shield far in front of you, this would be the area of the gate. You must learn to disrupt or close this area in timing of his attack (shields are cumbersome). In Musashi's gate, instead of parrying, your attack will serve as a disruptor to close this gate. Learn the angles of attacks in this way. Things will open for you." " Practically, during the maneuver the tsuba does not rise above your eye level, outside your shoulders and below your belt. The rest of the block is implemented by flicking the blade to compliment your momentum. Your tsuka should remain within the area of the gate to accomodate for effective counter attacks - at the same time, you have to angle your attack to prevent getting hit on the hand. " The resulting style or swordplay will be as you see it on the videos. Keep in mind that this is only practicing your maneuverability with the katana ( or any kind of saber and even broad swords). These videos does not show the quick strike maneuvers, leg strikes and disarming methods. Please refer to us for safety instructions before you practise any parts sudgested herein. Osu! ...antonio lamotta

Contact Chucks..day 2..
Yesterday, I was watching this amazing video of a guy that was doing something called "Contact Staff" which is where you move and balance a staff around without really grabbing it.. Yesterday, I spent the whole night trying out an idea called contact chucks... hours...I couldn't find very much on contact chucks, so I was just making the whole thing up...using wrist action and karate chops to move the chucks! hya! Anyways, today, I figured I'd try to mix what I was working on with what I already know...You will see about a dozen or so new moves. :) They're still in the rudimentary level...I've much to learn about contact chucks grasshoppa!
