This is one of the worst things I have ever seen.
In spite of being a choreographed demo where (as the existance of a “blooper reel” proves) some mistakes were edited out, the whole debaucle still took compliance to a new, rarefied level. Some of the low standing wristlocks were notable as among the most obviously compliant uke moments in history, as the uke literally stood with his other hand hanging by his waist waiting for the bald guy to move on.
And yet, in spite of this absolute compliance, the bald guy still manages to look like an utter cock by not respecting the tap. When your uke taps, that means to fucking ease off the pressure, not to go on applying to look…hardcore or something? I wonder if that’s a way for useless martial artists to gain a cult following: By applying needless pain to compliant demo partners you make them think you’re badass (after all, someone who successfully injures you is generally someone higher in the pecking order).
I also note that the “blooper reel”—I cannot help but put ironic quotes around that, because the whole fucking thing looks rather like a blooper reel to me—but the so-labelled blooper reel contains none of baldy’s proper fuckups, but instead instances where the uke is hurt needlessly beyond just keeping submissions on after the tap. Again, I suppose, attempting to look badass (but looking an utter cock).
Edit: Wearing a belt labelled “master” is pretty fucking pretentious, too.[ petterhaggholm.net | blog | essays ]
