Shou Shu; any redeeming factors?

I called them after I posted that. They are legally bound not to release police reports to people who were not directly involved in an indecent.

You stated you heard it from people who were there so why not have one of them get it.

[ashkelon]

why don't you tell us how you spar, describe exactly what you do.

Last one for tonight.
Sadly after watching more of Shou Shu videos I question it's ability to deal with one opponent let alone many.

Well, at this point, I would simply recommend taking that opinion to the nearest Shou Shu studio. Take a couple lessons, do some sparring classes.. This is like trying to describe the taste of chocolate to someone who has never had it: "Its sweet and chocolately.. Sometimes bitter.. Sometimes sour. Sometimes salty. Sometimes its full of fruits and nuts." I can't claim that all Shou Shu people are amazing martial artists, but I have met some very talented individuals within the Moore's system.

I live in South Carolina.. that would require calling my old studio in California, getting the names from the current instructor, and explaining to him that I want a copy of the police report in order to prove to people on the internet that his former teacher (who left the system after having marital problems) beat up seven gangsta's once. Seems a little overblown, don't you think?

I'm going to be very honest. You seen video of what I consider good training for a realistic environment. I haven't seen nothing on that level from all the videos of Shou Shu I've viewed. I usually try to find something to take away but haven't seen anything. What am I going to get from Shou Shu that isn't covered better in the just the two videos I posted?

Since you are in SC I would really like you to attend a Bullshido Throwdown if there is one close to you. We like to get together and actually beat the crap out of each other for fun. I feel if you attend one of these events you will get a better idea of why we are so big on proof of actual training and what alive training truly means.

Not for the purposes of demos, for the purposes of training an individual to fluidly respond to multiple attackers coming from different angles.

So how would rehearsing a demo accomplish that?

Head protection, mma gloves, boots, cup. Continuous sparring with light to medium contact, no points; throws, joint locks, and strikes of all kinds are allowed.
