By Scott | August 24, 2008
I’m always perfecting my techinques.
I’m also not a big fan of working out.

The only technique you’ll ever need when in a fight
By Scott | August 22, 2008
One of my favorite things about Kali/Escrima/Filipino Martial Arts is that attacks on the first move
Whatever it is, it’s going down
Whether it’s a hand, foot, leg, whatever.
It gets destroyed on beat one, and never used again.
Jeet Kune Do or JKD does the same thing… Read the rest of this entry »

How to absolutely give your enemy fits when you fight them
By Scott | August 22, 2008
It’s pretty simple…
Unmatched lead
This would be a right hander fighting a lefty.
It’s difficult because most everyone you’re going to meet is going to be used to fighting someone in a matched lead.
Matched lead is like a fighter standing with a right foot forward and so the opponent does the same.
I have to admit, this was a problem for me before. Read the rest of this entry »

This one technique could save your life
Yesterday, I had a run in with someone very high on drugs
He kept reaching into his jacket like he had a knife or a gun

But that didn’t mean I was safe

What Bruce Lee thought of swinging for the fences when in a fight…
By Scott | August 15, 2008
A witick is a short concussive shot designed to do damage and retract quickly to do damage again. This would be like a machine gun.
A lobtick is an all out swing meant to do great mount of damage. This would be cannon.
So obviously, you probably don’t want to fire a cannon on all occasions because it takes too long to reload. (Paul Vunak of Jeet Kune Do/JKD fame always says this as well)
I was throwing hooks on a heavy bag, and I realized the difference again.

What Bruce Lee Could Teach the Contender Asia Contestants…
By Scott | August 1, 2008
The Contender Asia 8/1/08
The major reason that Trevor lost this fight is that he violated Bruce Lee principle number one.
Single direct attack, this principle says that if you’re using a single direct attack to try to beat your opponent you will probably lose the fight. Read the rest of this entry »
