Nope,Zimbabwe

Rorion is the BEST instructor I have EVER had,of ANY style,hands down.He is phenominal.Breaks down each technique and it's counter into such detail,and teaches you the way to apply the most leverage with the least amount of physical strength.There are better fighters in the family,but I'm not sure there is a better instructor than him.Wonderful guy.

Purple from Rorion is like mid-level black from anywhere else.


I've known Rorion since the '80s.

rorion's school is in NYC.

wise words!!! I will actually have to remember that... I am not used to getting my ass beat... It's usually the other way around, since I have won 99% of all my "fights"/scraps with friends and others....

Yeah, you seem like quite the badass!

You really enjoy posting nasty comments on people's threads, don't you? Oh well, I guess you can't help genetics.

The truth can be painful.
No need to apologize for gene pool.

I bounced with a guy who was 6' 1", 165 pounds. He knew his shit. I grappled with him a few times and took classes under him for just a couple of months. Even though I was immensely more powerful and heavier than him, he would still get the better of me sooner or later when we squared off. It didn't bother me, because I was there to learn and if I could have kicked his ass with no training, I don't think I'd really want to be taking classes under him.

But yeah, it's amazing how much of an advantage a well trained person can have, even when up against someone much bigger.

I'm thinking of doing some judo over the summer when the karate club are not training at the uni (i have discount gym membership there).

Or should I do something like jitsu instead? Judo looks like a lot of fun. I'm not interested in doing large amounts of jitsu for sd as I carry a pointy umbrella for that purpose and do sd seminars for learing basic sd techniques.

Martial arts are fun. Great way to get your cardio too.

my first sparring class i got the snot punched out of me....apparently everyone there assumed i had sparred before and treated me as such....

i routinely get the odd knock on the head or knuckles when going with weapons too. i need a thicker skull
