The Stupidest Fight Scene Ever

As much as I'd like to say something about this... I'm speechless!  How can something this horrific have over SEVEN MILLION HITS on YouTube?!?!

More Russian Martial Arts

This clip shows more of the empty hand and weapon responses to attacks.  The slow motion footage allows you to see some of the techniques in more detail.  In some instances the techniques closely resemble both Indonesian, Chinese and Filipino martial movement.  This is no surprise if you know anything about the history of Russian Martial Arts - they were a directive to train and assimilate martial knowledge from around the world and bring it "home" to improve the scope of Sambo.

Russian Martial Arts

Many of you aren't aware of the rich martial culture in Russia because it's not that well publicized.  Some of you have heard of Sambo (or Cambo) or even Systema - but for the most part they are overlooked in the Western martial arts community.  Following is a video that highlights both the  Sambo and Systema methods.

This is a great interview with Guro Dan regarding the importance of Wing Chun to JKD.  It also gives you a chance to watch Guro Dan perform the foundational techniques of Jun Fan in an environment where you can keep rewinding to pick up what you missed at full speed! :)

Traditional Kali Training

This video clip, obviously converted over from a Super 8 original, shows some traditional stick training sometime in the late 50's or early 60's.  Judging by the length of the stick and how it is being used I'm going to guess that this is a Largo system of some sort (from what I can glean from the comments it's Arnis De Mano).  Regardless, it's a good example of the training method for the long stick.
