This guy is crazy, man. Yesterday he made his hand like a claw and brought me to my knees by the collar bone, then lifted me up by the nape of my neck and grabbed my Adam's apple so my larynx opened up or something. He did it all in about 2 seconds. Then he slammed the side of his palm into my neck and I felt a ton of energy flying through my body - could tell he easily could have paralyzed me but he was using about 1/100th of his strength. Did the same thing with a few other acupressure points. Intense!

If he told you he was Bruce Lee's teacher he was most likely lying. Bruce Lee was taught by a Wing Chun master named Yip Man, then he basically made his own style.

I never had to beat anyone up to get pussy. I think he's wrong. If pussy is your goal, you need a teacher who can show you how to fuck many pussies while everyone else is fighting. You don't have to be a macho man to get much pussy.

Interesting. I'll look into it further, because he showed me evidence but I didn't look at it closely. It seemed authentic, and I can't think why he would like about it given his already large list of accomplishments.

I only tried a few martial arts briefly as a kid. Never anything serious. After two nights of it, my body is wondering what the hell happened to it. (In a good way.)

lol thanks bug, it always makes me laugh too. I know its annoying, but youve got to be really careful when it comes to martial arts, its one of those areas which has LOTS of con artists. And remember theres lot of schools out there, so if this guy turns out to be not very good, you can just join a different one.

Yea Yip Man taught bruce lee, however bruce lee would occasionaly train briefly with people of other styles later in his life just to learn about them. So the guy who 'trained' Bruce Lee probably trained him for a short period of time, and honestly Bruce Lee probably kicked his ass

oddly enough I took martial arts briefly from one of Bruce Lee's more famous students. In the end though I found that the best martial arts teachers are generally guys who do it out of their house and have other jobs.

I would be skeptical of any "master" teaching mixed martial arts and playing the Bruce Lee card. It just all depends on what you're looking for. If you're looking to sweat, get in some shape, and train for sport, then hey, it's all good.

I love martial arts, I just haven't been doing it for the longest time. I'm strong, just out of shape. I would love to get back into some form of Martial arts. As tough as it is, I want do Jiu jitsu
