HAHAHA! I love that video! It has been a while since I have seen it! What are my favorite parts? Glad you asked!

I love when they lift mp over thier heads and the dude in front drops to one knee, like jesus just cured his leprosy.

The grappling just plain rocks! Nuff Said.

Walking on glass! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

The three spinning kicks in a row. That is somehow supposed to be impressive?

This video is just plain detached from reality. Too many "yes" people in the organization. There is a big MA community out there and they are just not part of it.

Kung Fu Love baby!

I wish i took another weapons martial art in the past to compare fsd's weapon work with, but i didnt, so i cant comment on that.

Well dont take our word for it, perhaps you can find someone you know in Montreal that can look at the video for you.



Wouldn't there be some copywrite issues surrounding the use of the Matrix as a base for a video?

[TKD Black Belt]

Wow! Um, I stopped watching the Matrix video as I wouldn't be able to get that time of my life back. Also I don't think sJP would want me to bill him for my time, as without getting paid there is no way I'm going to watch that crap.

However (oh you knew it was coming!) here are my thoughts on the 'kicking and punching' segment.

1.) If its kicking and punching why did you open with a take down?
2.) The 'control' techniques? I used to teach 12 year olds with a few weeks of training how to kick a cigarette out of someone's mouth for a demo. You telling me you have to be a Seafood in FSDon't to learn half of that control?
3.) HANDS people! You have them for a reason, practice what you'll do in a fight. (Once again FSD students, why do I know I could beat you in a fight? Because I've seen you practice and you won't change in a live situation, trust me!)
4.) High kick?!? Please, mechanically the body can extend the foot to the upper limit of its range (and this doesn't require much flexibility) with a balistic movement. The upper range you ask? Oh its easy, its the tips of your finger when extended over your head. Now, small gains on that height impress me, mind you I've seen a guy nicknamed La Pous (sorry if my french is bad 'The Flea') and he was about 5'6 and I've seen him break boards at 7 feet (well over his reach!). So a lame jump to that height (and I'm not goig to watch the video again to comfirm this) but didn't he miss the pad?

That's it that's all. FSD once again as predicted the tree was shoke and a monkey fell out. Seems to me that the only thing left in the tree are some what retarded monkeys. Man oh man, seriously I'm not even going to pretend when I visit you're club, I'll be the one in a blue Jiu Jitsu Gi and a disjusted look on my face. Oh, and like a 'real fighter' I'll have a shaved head.

PS - Looks like Seafood's instructor has a video up on YouTube as well! He's not bad.

Well, I was going to PM Shadow but, it was to late. You'll see what I'm talking about in a little bit.

[GreenHornet]

Wow, its been quite a while since Ive seen FSD in "action" and I really see the crapiness clearly this time... The moves are so lousy and without power, and surprise surprise not even a second of sparring.

btw there is a new member at bullshido: fsd management, he has no post, but I bet we can count on him to keep this thread going :)

[It is Fake]

Thanks SH B.

Wow. Just Wow. I felt my shitty system sucked (still do) but, it does feel good to see something worse. Those kicks were the crappiest kicks I've seen from athletic Martial arts people.

Supposedly good if they are in the video.

[shadow beast]

no prob

I wish i took another weapons martial art in the past to compare fsd's weapon work with, but i didnt, so i cant comment on that.

but yeah, it's very funny, i love the glass walking, lol

edit: oh the pic is from there picture folders on the member part of the site, they got pics of all the schools, classes, etc.

[Askari]

Made up crap!

Thanks Shadow Beast,

Did you take the picture of the front of their club?

Remember that buddy you had in grade 9 or 10, yeah, you know the one that thought he was a ninja? And he used to make up shit, and dance around with a sword. Yeah, you know the guy.

That is what those videos look like to me.

Compare the crappy sword work during the FSD Matrix with this old guy doing Iaido (Link). Specifically look at how stead the sword is when the old guy finishes a movement. Look at how he knows in advance where he is going to put the sword and how controlled each movement is.

Then look at how sloppy the weapons work in the FSD video is. That is a huge difference between FSD and a real Martial Art.

And its supposed to be "Mind over Matter" not "Mind IN Matter" Damn who edited that FSDMatrix video, at least they could have checked their Henglish.

[shadow beast]

[shadow beast]

Also, what else is in this member's site?

bunch of stuff from the student manual (those sheets you fill out, etc) all the videos thats on the cd-rom of the seminars and camp, 2 christmas party videos, 1 matrix style (lol) and some other one.

pictures from all the schools, if your a reg member, you get "join the bbc!" ad's, but if your a bbc member you get "join the inner circle!" ad's, and if your a inner circle member, i guess you get the "join the leadership program!" ad's lol

thats about it.

edit: guys if you wanna see the matrix video, i am downloading if off the site, i can put it on youtube, or any of the other videos. let me know which you wanna see.

[Askari]

Hey Dingo,
Interesting stuff.

You dont happen to have a scanner do you? We've been putting their adverts up in the history thread.

Also, what else is in this member's site?

[PeterPantsless]

Dingo. Can you acess the "matrix" video on the members' site? I've seen it, but I don 't have access. The video is pure bullshido gold!

[TheDingo]

Got a flyer in my mailbox about FSD...

I like the headline "Get Fit For Life-In Just 3 Months-Guaranteed!"

So if three months doesn't get me fit for THE REST OF MY LIFE, I can have my money back? So if any time between now and when I become worm food, I become out of shape, I can have all my money back?

Sounds like a deal -- but the headline just doesn't make sense. Now it was "Get Fit in just 3 months -- Guaranteed" it would be easier to swallow.

And, a free trial month is actually called a "VIP pass".

I guess it goes back to Tony Robbin's marketing -- making the lowest common denominator feel special.

Reminds me when I used to work in advertising, and a private college opened up a "fashion/esthetics" school, and I was told that the person I was to target as the ad writer/creative was the person on the couch without ambition, get them in, get their money and send them out with a "passable" diploma.

It wasn't a serious esthetics program, so don't aim to people with talent and realistic goals, but more to get whatever slackers you can to enrol, take on expensive student loans and give you their money.

I have the same feeling about FSD's marketing strategy overall. "Give us money, we'll make you feel tough".

I still have the access to the member's site of FSD, and I checked it out and it gave me the willies ... "Join the Inner Circle for just $97 per month"... so that's $175 _+ $97 per month. Then I could join the leadership team with gives me the faint hope of one day opening a franchise if I just give-give-give them my money.

Bah.
