His first post
his name
his words
I am astonished the people that complimented him and subscribed to his shit (yes I know he probably trained/fought more MMA champions/masters than any one he knew of....and yes I know he showed super special techniques in his vids that according to him only he could probably pull off)
He did say his videos would save lives so I hope we can sticky them.....

Leaving aside the general "well this seems nuts" vibe, I'll say that I clicked on the first video and about five seconds in, I thought, man, if I got a grip on the wrist of a guy holding a knife, there is NO FUCKING WAY I'd trade that for a sort of open-handed bar.
I admit that my instincts are just the product of my own experiences and I make no claim to being capable of teaching anything. But I'm pretty confident that if I tried to do that to someone, he'd have enough torque in his torso to wrench that shoulder forward and down, and now I don't have the knife wrist anymore, but I probably have a pretty bad cut on my forearm.
So personally, I went five seconds in and thought, that doesn't make sense to me - I'll try to view more when I have more time and see if other stuff does make sense to me.
But then I never really got past the "oh it's one of THESE guys" writing style. It just reminded me too much of the various survivalist guys I've encountered with passionate beliefs in stuff like "the 45/70 is what you should have standardized on" or "the most important skill you'll ever have is making lock picks out of broken-off street sweeper bristles."
Both real-life examples, incidentally. Similar writing style in either case, anyway.
This is a thread where I built a boat I designed and which I very occasionally update with accounts of using it, which is really fun as long as I'm not driving over logs and blowing up the outboard.

Trying to read his posts reminded me of trying to understand the lyrics to Yellow Ledbetter.
Okay guys this one is done.
Closed.
