Fang Shen Do cash cow

Hi BhB - thanks for the welcome back.

FSD weirdness no. 17 - Sifu X making students crawl around on the floor on their hands and feet for two minutes saying "some of you are tigers and some of you are hunters" WTF? You know, at the time I guess I was so caught up in it all I didn't realize I should have been saying WTF?

" All of you are cash cows maniuplated in the guise of Martial Arts " :)

What would be really cool is for 25 students to leave all at once and not pay them a freakin penny... They sound like they are so far stretched with sucking students dry, they probably have come to bank on it and finance everything with this expectation.

Businesses like this wouldn't take much to put a little hurt on as they scramble for another scheme to replace that lost revenue. Perhaps a life enhancement seminar? or a nunchuck seminar?

"He wears his pink pyjamas is the summer when its hot...." come on everybody sing along...

I thought SokeJP's colour was officially pink?:gaygay:

On a further note I especially like the concept of a en masse departure, as it were from the club. The stunned look on SokeJP's face would most likely rival the look on a student's face when they realize that they've been sold up the river sans :ky:!

Oh well, as we've hinted at before I'm planning a field trip out east this summer. Perhaps I can fit some time into my schedule for a little excursion to Fang Shen Do for a little RnR.

I'm still in for the time being and would like to keep anonymous until I get my exit strategy sorted out. I have some very personal reasons for doing this as carefully as possible, and for not posting the series of events that finally woke me up just yet. When I'm free and clear, I'll spill all of the details.

I'm reluctant to stir up the hornets nest until absolutely necessary (again, for personal reasons).

Cool man. If you are still in, then I'd say don't post any info on your experiences again till you are out. The board has ears! Keep your head down and keep your best tiger/hunter face on. Don't worry, in a little while you can get into some real training. This thread prolly lists the best MMA schools in your area- and if not in your area I know a couple of posters will give you a few names of some places where you can train that contain a lot of real talent.

Caw FTW.

Posted today by Lowflyer on Stringfellow's article thread...

Sorry for the delay. Work, as you know, gets in the way of life.

From a reliable witness, who, is not in any way related to MA, a construction worker out for a (OK many) beer with his buddys, on the last day of work before Christmas.
Buddy goes to washroom, everyone feeling no pain. They start missing their friend so, one of them goes looking. Find hin with broken jaw, broken ribs, broken arm & dislocated shoulder. All this compliment of a supposedly "BOUNCER" named Pat. This was the name used by other bouncers to address this particular as..... OOPS guy. Being a FSD student at the time, I got curious and showed pictures of Pat Marcil to my contact and the answer was: "If that ain't him, it's his twin."
Of course everybody could be mistaking. Thes burly gentlemen dorve thier busted up friend to the hospital, then came back to repay the favour, but all they saw wa this Pat fellow leaving by the back door

I'll just throw this in as a bit of a personal experience type thing. There is only two types of people that hang around in the men's washroom at nightclubs/bars. You're either in their looking lonely (and looking for lovin') or you're in their selling. I'm sure we've got enough bouncers (and former bouncers) on this thread to confirm that assessment. Kind of makes me wonder why Pat was hanging around the men's room?

TKD:ninja2:

I don't even have to make 'the ghey' jokes anymore, they make themselves!

Well that confirms the attacking the drunks story- abd the fleeing his buddies part too.

Have to say that it is fairly easy to beat up a drunk, even with no MA training at all.

Faking a Heart Attack

Does anyone have any video of the fake "heart attack defence"?


Now its mostly for the humour factor but here's a guy who used the heart attack defence.

Link to story

According to the complaint:

Aguilar grabbed the man in a "bear hug" and said, "If you don't give me $100, I'm going to kill everyone in the house."

The victim repeatedly told Aguilar he had no money, but when it became clear Aguilar wasn't giving up, the 88-year-old man "feigned a heart attack." The victim's glasses fell to the floor. He asked the attacker to pick them up, and when Aguilar did, the victim ran to the door and shouted for help.

Or you can buy these electric underpants to fake the heart attack (sorry no pics of the pants):

Electric Underpants Used To Fake Heart Attack
It's amazing the lengths some scammers will go through to fake injuries from various companies. Along the lines of the woman who planted a severed finger in her bowl of chili, comes this story of a guy who sued the maker of an iron, claiming it was wrongly wired to give him a heart attack. While it appears that the man most likely rewired the iron himself, he also put an electronic device in his underwear to trick hospital equipment into suggesting he had a heart attack. Of course, now that all of this has been worked out, the guy is in a bit more trouble than if he had just had a heart attack from a faulty iron. You'd think, with the lengths people go to in order to scam the system, that perhaps they'd just be better off putting that same effort into legitimate work.

[Crazy Mount]

Oh this thread is awesome! I always think I've heard it all and then low and behold more stuff appears.

Well I can most definitely confirm that Pat is extremely aggressive. There are some issues there mentally. He solves all problems with his fists. Apparently his grandfather was like this also, always fighting in bars, doing some jail time etc... Hearing about his family you understand why he is as aggressive and blinded as he is. He has very little patience, an incredibly hot temper and very little reasoning or rationality skills. It's funny that Feng shen do claims how advanced they are when really they are traditionalists living in the past wishing it was the wild wild west, or better yet wild wild east.

I need to ask Corvus and others a question regarding Corvus' post. I'm not sure what they we're trying to do with having you all crawl on the floor Corvus, but which were you - a hunter, or tiger? To the others, which one would you be? I know I'm a tiger, never had much use for the hunter. Although, he has a gun! Ha Ha Ha, I think I'd rather be the mythological Fire Dragon personally. I think I would of told sifu x that! "Sifu, I"m niether - I'm a fire dragon so don't fuck with me!" And then I'd growl and drewl looking as evil and demented as I could.
:tongue2:

Holy Shit!!!
I have a 200-0-2 MMA record.

I still want to know about this record. what circut do you fight?

[TKD Black Belt]

This was in response to Shadow Beast's claimed record of 24-4 in MMA, which actually turned out to be sparring which he doesn't like. :icon_blac

Apparently Fang Shen Do is becoming so popular that MMA fighter's are now flocking to it in droves. The exciting thing is that soon you'll be seeing the 'Heart Attack' close in Pride!

Fedor does something very similar except he makes it look like a double leg. He's just that good!

TKD

Hmm, we just had Hammer House vs. Team Gracie, you think we'll ever see SokeJP vs anyone other than other men in a washroom?

I swear this stuff seriously writes itself!

I have a fight coming up in oct. I am thinking about abondoning my training and taking up grand celestrial do or now, Fang shen do. I don't know. i think it may be too much power. I don't know what to do.

The Shadow Beast record

Damn, but that guy is almost worth his own Bullshido Thread:

A friends uncle owned his own martial arts gym, but he never made it public, it was only for a big group of us to train in, over 50 martial artists, all between brown, and 2nd dan black belt.

So we got together and started planning, made rules, fixed up the gym (which we called the dungeon, lol) and took down all the info about every contender we had, martial arts info, stats, ect.

What we did was we made it a mixed martial arts federation, but not mma like that crap you see in the ufc, hugging on the ground and such, no, it was called mixed martial arts because we had art v.s art, like TKD v.s boxing, ect, and some people had more then 1 MA in their arsenal (like me)

What is the same between Frank Dux and Pat Marcil (FSD)?






They both claimed to fight in Bloodsport.

Yellow Bamboo, its the only choice.

Now that is high humour, I laughed out loud when I read this.

Eye of the tiger??!

So we're hanging out on St-Denis here in Montreal
(Spring at last! Hooray!) when a car goes by blasting
that 80z (90z?) song "Eye of the Tiger" and people at the
next table burst out laughing, clutching their heads,
going "Faster! Harder!Fang shen do! Ahhhgh!Nooooooooooo!"

Hmmm...."Fang shen do ahgh nooo" with pretend meltdown... ?

Turns out some of them were former fsd students
and this song was always on during part of the class.
Seems the playlist never changed and everyone grew totally sick of it,
hence the reaction.

So of course I asked them about fsd and heard stuff like:
- how fsd turned out to be way less than what people were lead to believe,
- expensive
- overcrowded classes,
- no live training,
- constant & aggressive pressure for more money,
- forced testimonials from students
- leave your brain at the door when you enter fsd world,
and so on.

They all said that they were much happier now in other schools.
Better atmosphere, learned more, paid less.

This of course started a discussion about *which* school was
best, what was most important in a martial art/artist, how about pure self defense,
BJJ vs RBSD, only a pussy would ask a question like that,
oh yeah well step up bitch, how 'bout another beer first,
a "heart attack close" works better if you flash your breasts,
oh yeah prove it, etc. etc.

...but there was general agreement that people should give fang shen do
& the patenaude crowd a wide berth.

"ca ne va pas la peine" as they said.

When I mentioned this thread some of them became *VERY* interested;
(consumer protection agency related stuff?)

A lot of French speaking people here in MTL apparently don't know about this thread,
but that might change pretty soon.

Stay tuned...

JB

I hope we see some French-speaking canadians posting (acutally there might alread have been some.....), because I imagine they are capable of the same scorn and derision my lovely euro-neighbours are. Let more attacks on FSD commence- no, 110 pages is not enough......

"ca ne va pas la peine" Its not.....? sorry guys but my french is the suck Translation please?

[JackBurton]

Should read "ca ne vaut pas la peine"

(It's not worth it)

Now I'm in trouble...incoming discipline from the French g/f
for that egregious error!

Ouch!
Aieee!

...a little to the left...

Owwwwwwwwwwwwww

Ahhhh, that's the stuff....
