These claims must cease!

Oh, this is some old bullshit! We need equality. Get the motherfucking feminist brigade on this ****. Equality means equal number of men and women on battlefields. Equal access to battlefields for all.

Equality!

I'm in complete agreement, there should be more women in my BJJ class.

I'm in complete agreement, there should be more women in my BJJ class.

and in them all...

This is Battlefields:

I love your game!! Fucking awesome. Doesn’t it bother you that men walk all over you all the time? Not to speak about the dead laying in you.

I can confirm unequivocally that the flying kick is a technique that has been used on battlefields.

But to what avail? Flying kicks are usually no match for one as celebrated as you. Pimp, Pimp, Hooray Pimp, Pimp, Hooray!!!!

[battlefields]

The flying kick has been used on me, yes, but it wasn't an overly effective technique.

[Chili Pepper]

I've pitched a tent on battlefields ...

Is love a battlefield, as Pat Benatar claims?

Read my fucking bio, people, you will see it is perfectly clear. There is absolutely no room for hypotheticals, or wiggle room on this subject. I have only ever participated in the following martial arts:

1. Judo
2. Shotokan
3. Muay Thai/ Kickboxing
4. WTF TKD
5. HKD
6. A "scientific concept" hybrid made up of boxing, MT and wing chun that I do not recommend.
7. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Whether it is because of my awesomeness, my awesome reputation or my reputation for awesomeness, it's like people feel they have public domain over me. I'm a fucking celebrity, I get that, but fucking hell, I'm human for ****'s sake. I don't expect the same treatment as the average Joe, I'm aware that I am exalted, hailed as a hero and praised as a deity in some circles. I understand, one doesn't become this good without picking up loyal disciples, minions, if you will, along the way. But there are too many threads on here about me, where there is no evidence to back any sort of association and it must stop.

For as long as I can remember people have tried to use me to validate their choice of martial art. They attempt to say that, through me, their martial art is effective, allows people to fight multiple opponents, has techniques designed to kill and maim. That somehow I make their choice of shitty, compliant, teh d34l33, dead patterned martial arts one to which one should aspire.

The myth that surrounds me must end, right now. I am not a time traveller, nor am I immortal. I have left my home country on only two occasions and travelled to the UK, Paris, L.A., Hawaii, Fiji and New Zealand. That's it. I've been in many brawls, none of which meant I "successfully fought multiple opponents". I don't want to kill or maim anyone. And I only recommend martial arts that have "alive" training as a principle, so anyone claiming that they can't practice their technique on a fully resisting opponent does not have my seal of approval.

So, from now on, unless you are referring to the 7 arts listed above, you will never say your "martial art was tested on/ martial art was learnt from/ martial art was designed for" battlefields.

You're no Rob Tucker, so **** off.

How do you respond to Pat Benatar's allegations?
