What if...?

Isn't there a medical term that refers to self-inflicted amputation? :confused:

I am thinking along the lines of "dumbass," but built using Latin or Greek roots. :eek:
 
With a Banned blade the material splits itself out of fear:D He wouldn't have stood a chance at first site of the blade.
 
I have trained with the live blade for over 15 years. Most from the FMA POV. But whatever the case I have developed a deeper respect for the blade as time goes by.

BTW: This thread is in no way a jab at any particular culture's beliefs or religion. But as a practitioner and teacher in the bladed arts for nearly 20 years there are just some things that still make me say "Why?".
 
By his movement he is obviously very skilled with the stick and knife. But WTF is that all about. :rolleyes: I guess he got so good that he though he was invincible. :eek::eek:

I totally agree. His movements are very good. But like you said... What was he thinking.

Well, 'round here I'd call that a cranio-rectal inversion, not to put too fine a point on it! :D BTW, what was he thinking??

I can understand and appreciate tradition but stuff like that makes me wonder :confused:

If he was going to do stuff like that at least use a dull blade that would not so easily push cut right through his skin and flesh.

Tyrkon,
What sort of FMA training do you practice?
 
At least he didn't cut his arm off. :thumbup:
That was what I was expecting when I started watching the video. :eek:


Sag.

Since age 19 I have trained under Blaise Loong whose influences come primarily from Dan Inosanto, Punong Guro Edgar Sulite, Grand MasterLa Coste, GrandMaestro Antonio "Tatang" Ilustrisimo, Grand Master Leo Giron, Grand MaestroAntonio "Tatang" Ilustrisimo, etc...

My instructor, Blaise Loong calls his expression of the FMA: Patayin Estilo

[SIZE=+1][SIZE=+1]The Filipino Warrior Arts -- emphasis is on the fighting methods of the Southern Philippines (Moro systems) and on those styles developed by Battlecircle ('pit') champions. We call this blend Patayin Estilo, the 'Death Match' system of sword and battlestick fighting.[/SIZE][/SIZE]

and my favorite from him: Silat Sabungin

[SIZE=+1]Silat / Pentjak Silat -- the warrior styles of the Tausugs (Sulu), Minangkabau (Sumatra), the Wali Suci (Java), the Bugis (Sulewesi), and the Melayu (Malaysia). We call this blend Silat Sabungin, the 'cockfighting' system of Filipino and Indonesian short-knife fighting.[/SIZE]

I am in the middle of that page. I need another picture. You can't tell but I have an NO-E I blieve in my other hand. It was in the original pic but was cut out when it was resized for that site. Now it just looks like I am doing an air chop with my checking hand. :p

Blaise really teaches a diverse curriculum but my main focus has always been on the FMA, MT, and ground fighting (more recently BJJ with a skilled friend to round things off.)

I am towards the bottom of that page. I need another picture. You can't tell but I have an NO-E I blieve in my other hand. It was in the original pic but was cut out when it was resized for that site. Now it just looks like I am doing an air chop with my checking hand. :p

Cool! :thumbup: BTW, the linky no worky ;)

BJJ is great stuff for ground work. :thumbup:
 
Think he was trying the same stuff as the 'magicians' do when they put a needle through their arms and don't bleed. Obviously he went for the bigger version and, well we saw the rest.

That with a Banned blade = hook for an arm or peg for a leg.

Awesome Maestro Tyrkon Lawson.:thumbup:

Now I see why you are such a chopping monster! All those years of training really pays off. I'll get there someday.

Scandinavian roots. Taken from Hakkon (sp?) which I think means people of... and Tyr from the god of war Tyr. Used as a prefix in names but not as often as Thor was. So its just two merged into one. Not common nor probably not traditional over there. A sort of Americanized Old Norse/Old Icelandic name. But most just call me Tyr (pronounced "teer") for short. I only hear Tyrkon (pronounced "teer - khan") when I am in trouble. :eek::p
