Sensei Lucas Predmore is advertised as an experienced "cage fighter." Sherdog turns up zero fights under this name so if he has any experience it's in an amateur circuit.

Sensei Darren Gamblin is advertised as an experienced ring fighter at age... 16. Meaning he's been gaining ring experience at what... age 14 and 15? I'm unaware as to what counts as ring experience, but I'm gonna go ahead and bet he simply hit puberty slightly before his opponents resulting in a few wins. He's also heading towards a career in Pro Wrestling?

Sensei Kerry is a ninja.

etc.

They have a wide variety of martial artists under one roof, but in the end they all seem to look like XMA guys.

They seem to sponsor their own tournaments as well... maybe fighting in a school tournament counts as ring experience?

I just noticed how close they were to me, only 3, maybe 3 1/2 hours away. I'm contemplating a visit.

Thanks. Amateur fight circuit as I thought.

His only wins are against a guys with records of 0-2 and 1-5. Not exactly an impressive resume, but it's nice to see they weren't lying about his cage experience.

Naw, you need to visit Texas my friend. After talking smack about the Texas Kali Association your credability here is in question. We can all see this guy is 80 cents short of a dollar but your out there in internet land dissing respectable martial artists. Here is an example of your jargon including how you storm dojos and make challenges... Now it's time to step up. Maybe visit this guy first to warm up for your Texas challenge.

This is a perfect example of martial arts stupidity. Dead patterns at their worst.

Well, I do, albeit in a more inspecific way. I goto many local dojo/dojangs and engage them in open challenge. Now, half of them show their lack of credibility by offereing excuses like, "OMG our stylez so teh d34dly that we don't want to hurt you," or "We don't have to prove anything to a non-ninja like you!" The rest, I teach the concept of reality (with the exception of one, where I got my face owned off by a FANTASTIC boxer).

SO, to finally get to my point... I would most definitely make a visit to this austin based school. Except I DON'T LIVE NEAR TEXAS. This video still sucks though, Mr Sticks. That **** would get your ass owned in ANY situation that resembles a real fight.

Well, internet tough guy, not everybody has the funds t ojet off to TX when the ywant to throw down. That and my obligations are to USAF, not myself. Why do you thin I never get out of my local area? It's cause leave doesn't accrue all that fast. And I have no money. I'm a freakin' airman, not a captain.

You know, those guys trained who's teachers are directly under Gaje himself.
