Karate student stomps on man's head, his teacher posts the video on Youtube 25 years later

If you don’t believe that, go ask an ex-boxer. Like Mohammed Ali, for example, who is now a poster boy for dementia pugilis.

I’m sure he is now if he wasn’t before.:wink:

Jesus traditionally does not teach people Kung Fu.

He doesn’t? I mean, he’s more famous for hunting vampires, sure.

He traditionally doesn’t teach presidents to start wars of aggression, either. What’s your point?

THAT is your COUNTER example?

THAT is your COUNTER example?

It’s pretty clear that the guy ain’t right just from his behavior. From Jesus teaching him Kung Fu on to his stilted speech patterns the way he sways back and forth while he stands there, to the way he moves when doing his martial arts katas.

Jesus himself said he brings not kung fu, but a sword. The guy should have wandered into a kendo dojo.

Ehm…

LOL the following preview has been approved for you by the motion sickness administration of Zimbabwe.

Unless I’m misunderstanding, I disagree with this. Mohammed Ali got hit repeatedly for many, many years. In talking about a one shot event the head stomp will do the most damage. Even in situations where the head is allowed to move when hit (as in when standing) kicks can be more devastating than punching as a cursory viewing of MMA’s will attest.

That’s true, but I was arguing against Billfish who contended that I shouldn’t be training how to kick someone in the head because it was too dangerous. That’s fully nonsense.

Then I was misunderstanding. I agree, carry on.

Here is an article about the incident

Has anything new come out of this story yet?

Thank god I am not ashamed of being a bit dull, because I know posters have tried to answer this question, but I am compelled to ask this again;

Can any martial arts expert or student tell me if the man getting stomped was actually doing real martial arts, or was he just making moves up? Thanks, guys.

Heh. That’s the thing about some traditional martial arts. It can be hard to tell. It looked to me like he was mimicking things he saw in movies, but he could’ve been doing katas from some real martial art. But he said he didn’t want to fight, so there’s no reason to hold him to some standard of “real” martial arts. The blackbelt was doing the very real martial art known as Hav Smal Dik.

For a split second I was about to look that up on Wikipedia.

Shit. Me too. Just a split second, though, I swear.

Thanks, Cisco for trying to answer my question for me. It made me watch the video again, and I swear to god, to echo others that have said similar; I thought I was way too jaded by the internet to be made so uncomfortable by a video like that.

Uncomfortable. There are parts that made me laugh. Those parts gave me the strangest/sickest feeling in my gut that I ever had watching an internet video.
