Very nice, and I thank you for sharing them. I too, enjoyed what Thompson was speaking about in the time stamp that you've referred to; it's part of combat, as well, and effective, imho!!

| Just wish there were more who taught like this in the UK, unfortunately, the majority of clubs are sports orientated and lost their way. |

Politically correct schools of the MA rob the reality of training, imho. "Please the customer", "the customer is always right", so on and so forth...hogwash. Yes, to a point that might be true, and those business maxims must be obeyed, but there's a time when the CI has to teach effectively away from all of the politically correct numbing for commercial sakes for the students sakes.
Imho!!

Great videos! Thanks for sharing!
I know the videos are somewhat old, but I would like to clarify on a point that one of the guys (Lawrence Tan I think?) was making about Kung Fu/Tai Chi vs. Karate. He was talking about how his art (Chinese kung fu) strikes like an iron ball on the end of a chain and karate strikes like an iron bar. In Matsubayashi-Ryu/Shorin-Ryu/Ti (Okinawan karate), gamaku (power generation) is indeed developed with the idea of striking like an iron ball on a chain, not an iron rod or bar. In my experience, all Okinawan karate styles develop power with this idea in mind.

I.HATE.ITV with a passion.
The narrator knows NOTHING about what he's talking about. He thinks Martial Artists have 'powers'. Ugh...

Stole that from Bruce Lee's "Lost Interview".
