Can anything counter this fighting style?

It seems unstoppable.


AFAIK this is not a joke video. It is 100% serious video promoting a "martial art". I saw it getting ridiculed in a 2013 Russian top 10 video calling out fake martial arts styles pushed by cranks and frauds. This formidable style was number 2.

In fact the whole top 3 made me laugh out loud but this is the only one I could find a separate video of. If you want to know, #1 was a fighting school that taught how to defeat opponents by compelling them with the power of the cross.

You seem to use up a lot of energy, for not much pay off. Give it a minute or so of them flapping their arms about, then go for the kill while they catch their breath.

This is also known as the "siblings roughhousing" fighting technique. It's also seen in elementary schoolyards and city bars, depending on how many college bars there are in the neighborhood.

That's a lot of "distraction" followed by one or two things that matter/ actually have impact. Yes you can stop this by using your legs. Lowkicks and a highkick. Just block the nonsense that has no power.

i DO think this technique can be effective in a lot of fights though. Looks kinda hilarious.

it's funny how the editing cuts right before the kid gets hit by the nunchuk in his face or in the head by the hanging ball or after kicking the sack you can see how he gets hurt by it and it's about to scream in pain.

Jup that and if you watched closely, many times it was possible for a simple quick knee to the groin. There stance in general wasn't really balanced.

We regularly make fun of this video with a friend of mine who also trains martial arts.

Is he creating some type of force field around his lower body that prevents it from being targeted?

There's a guy who practices Capoiera outdoors in Seattle near the NorthLake Tavern - I have trained my kid to call him a button masher and both of us refuse to explain it to my wife.

It is about being as minimal as possible. Just strike people down with your aura.

Once I saw a fight outside a bar in which one guy started to make puking sounds while being grabbed by the other. Dude got startled and received a KO punch straight in the jaw. Other dude was just faking it. Expect the unexpected, that was some Batman-level-mind game, I swear.

As someone that has trained with this technique for years, the most frustrating aspect is not having any more challenging opponents on Earth

Guys I found the number 3 taught by a TOP ALPHA MALE VADIM SHLAKHTER

He, who is an author of the book "HOW TO OWN THE WORLD" ("ownage" has the sexual connotation here) claims to train men into superhumans.

You can witness his extreme fighting training regiment at 10:00

My first thought was post #2.. I remember seeing that in the theater and pre-teen me thinking that was the funniest thing I'd ever seen...
