Hey I found my first example of FMA bullshido

**Flipper** · Posted On: 7/17/2006 11:29am

this is my first contribution to the drive to eradicate bullshido -

his school - http://www.jeffcitymartialarts.com/about.htm

myspace - http://www.myspace.com/kalimaster

This ladies and gents is tremendously substandard FMA. I can't believe this guy is even attempting to teach. And for some damn reason it's being linked to Pekiti Tirsia Kali. I found it by searching for "pekiti" in youtube.

There's no footwork, no evasion, the attacker is static and the "guro" looks clueless even in his own video. As far as I'm concerned, this is 100% grade A FMA bullshido.

I tend to agree. Look at the instructor page and see how many black belts they have who haven't reached puberty yet...

Wow.... those movie-poster style photos with thunder and lightning have just got to GO!:qleft1: :tongue11:

*Edit* I just looked at the clip again.... The demo student almost cuts his own neck during the "salutations". Talk about not respecting the blade!

Does that first clip remind anyone else of Stomp?

Someone should compete in their "MMA" competition.

Wow they sure do love their photoshop. Perhaps I should offer my services to my students taking pictures of them in cool poses and merging them togethor with special effects in the background. Make a few bucks? Is my soul worth it?

For a good laugh...read the testimonials.
