Filipino martial arts trained hard core with as little safety equipment as possible! Rock on!

Video Posting is easy.

Posting videos from YouTube, Daily Motion and Google Video has been a blast. Of course I'm keeping this site clean, but there's a whole lot of smut out there. Maybe I'll make another blog with huge boobie girls? LOL!!!!

Brazilian Jiujitsu is the art I'm practicing since April, so I posted a pretty good overview video. There's some ninja training in the end that was slick, so I thought about posting something and considering it's X-mas time, I found a relevant clip.

The next clip is Bruce Lee doing his stuff. The man was ambitious, focused and had a lot faith. Those are attributes that go beyond martial arts that I truly respect. His art Jeet Kune Do (JKD) means "Way of the Intercepting Fist" which Bruce believed is the most advance method of countering someone's attack. He doesn't believe in a Chinese or Japanse styles because martial arts should be a personal expression of our own most effective method of countering attacks.

Nowadays JKD is still evolving without Bruce. Paul and Luis are cops and instructors in JKD who've cultivated one of the best methods of training I've found. So hopefully you'll enjoy watching 'functional jkd' in action.
