Would it help if I used crayons?
Normally, I don't do this sort of thing. I don't go out on a limb to explain myself, especially to those who lack simplistic comprehension skills. If you want information from me, that's cool. I will happily teach anybody who wants to LEARN. But the condition I set is that You must swim out to MY boat. I'll help you in, but the swimming has to be done by YOU. 'Ya dig?
LEARN
That's a mighty big word sometimes. Too big for many people to get over.
In reference to my "Arm Jink" video, I have just removed the TENTH negative feedback from the comments section. Now, I get my standard amount of trolls, morons and flamers like anyone who puts their stuff out there for the world to see. I expect it, even. And hey, not everybody does it the way I do, or is at my level of technique. This, too, is no mystery and I am not fazed by it. As those who are close to me know, I'm not to everybody's taste.
But in the name of the poolboy at my summer home in R'yleh, do you have to slam me everytime Die Uber Sifu mit der Wiener Schnitzel says "Das von't verk on der street"? What is it with you Germans? Are you still pissed about the whole Normandy thing? Is this some sort of bizarre attempt at payback from the cult of the uncircumcised? Too much sauerkraut? Really Hans, vas ist los?
I think I explained myself very well here, and if you didn't "get it" maybe you weren't paying attention. This isn't "Movement number 5: Dragon whips his tail" or some stupid shit like that. It's a path to explore out of flow, nothing else. In fact, I ACTUALLY SAY THAT ON THE FILM YOU NO BIG-PICTURE SEEING DIPSHITS!! If you don't understand plain Engrish, get a damn translator, Fritz!
As I said before, this is why I don't teach beginners. Jeezus, it gives me a splitting headache just trying to think down to your level.
So, here we have the video in question:
It's certainly not revolutionary, but I'm not offering a "life-changing path" here. This isn't a self-help seminar, and I'm not selling anything. So with that being said, can you pick out the lesson being given, or do I have to dumb it down to a third-grade level?

Just face it Bobbe- you are doing it all wrong!!! You need to have one of those fancy uniforms with the patches all over it to be considered legit. Oh, and you have to have your students be quiet unless spoken too. That's the right way, err , the left way? err the way Klaus thinks it should be done.
To hell with them, do it your way with the sweat pants and the garage- works for me!!!!
Thanks, Buzz. I get a little annoyed at the unwashed masses sometimes. Hope all is well with you, by the way.
Well, what you you do isn't True Martial Art. It's just hitting people. If you had The Lineage and a real uniform and stood in neat rows and barked like dogs you might understand the Inner Meaning(tm) and be able to survive T3h D34dl33 Str33t.
Just remember what C.P. Snow said. "The Stupid shall not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven."
That said, I've always been a little bothered by that format. It's possible to leave yourself pretty wide open on the transitions like the bit between the arm wrench and the elbow if you don't take control of his balance and center in the process. You know it. I know it. Your students know it. A lot of people who just teach or learn it as mindless technique don't know it.
When one steps outside the box, those who remain pick over the spot where he stood wondering if they have the courage to peek over the side or merely crouch in the corner! The essence of the clip is obvious to I...Options Mr. Bond Options!!...Cloaked with intent and perfumed by personal choice which flows in unison with the matter at hand....
You're in for it now Bobbe! The German guy, as I discovered when I checked out his youtube offerings, is in fact a Ninja (shudder)So I suspect he will put on his mask and black pajamas and death touch you from afar. (Perhaps that's why your beer mug broke, rather than good glass being insulted by the swill you usually pour).
Speedos, lad, you need to wear your Speedos, oil up, and be sure your 'roid stack is balanced. That's the only stuff that works in the real work, you know?
That's far enough, Old Man.
Thanks Steve:-S
I going to have nightmares of Bobbe in his Speedos being chased by ninjas and an amorous Chimay bottle for a week (shudder)
Alright goddammit, THAT'S ENOUGH!!!
Bill O'Reilly likes to talk dirty on the phone and rub women with falafel. I see no reason why Bobbe can't put on Speedos and open the Southern front, as it were, against the ninjas using a bottle of Chimay. If he put that up on Youtube he might get to be Senator from Idaho.
Ausgetzeischnet!

I must not be posting interesting enough stuff- I don't seem to be getting many comments on my blog- It is visible is it not?
You have a blog??
I like your steel, Buzz. Not as many varieties as Bobbe posted pictures of, but it does have an advantage -- ask him what that means ...
Speedos, Speedos! Stale beer and Speedos ...
