Xiaou2:
First off, He was not drunk. I was. 2nd, he tried to throw multiple strikes at me,
and failed. The more serious he got (stepped in), he got pounded due to the
simplicity of the science behind the techniques.
That was merely an example of a situation which was more "Serious", which
could have gotten very ugly.
Ive talked down a few guys from real fights. This guy just was the type who
punched first, talked later.
I could site several more exciting sparring sessions, where the big guy lost
his cool and went from the friendly mid-level power and speed... To "Injure-Him"
mode, at full power, full speed. However, it seemed you wanted a real world
example.. and besides heavy sparring, thats all Ive got. Im not a punk who
starts trouble for no good reasons. I imagine however, your personality rubs
people much worse than I ever could... And so I imagine you have gotten into
more Real scraps than care to admit.
Unlike you, Im trained to take lives. I value all life, so I dont jump into mode
unless someone swings at me, threatening to take that life away.
Im also confident, and know my skill level of protection ability... so I dont fret and
fear when someone gets near. Many others would shoot a strike out, merely out
of fear and lack of control... making a possible 'ok' situation much much worse.

At the time of my most intense training, I was ages 20 to 25. Im now 36.
11 yrs ago, camcorders were not as prevalent.. and I personally could not
afford them at the time... nor did I really feel the need to get one.
(I dont even think I had a computer back then. Amazing how time flies...)
I do however have many local people who have witnessed all of what Ive said...
and can back me up.

And Yeah, I knew it was a poke at me. However, I felt it better to describe the
workings of the technology to those who actually wanted to benefit.. rather than
acknowledge your attempt at button pushing.

Finally, sparring vids only say so much. You cant feel the power of a strike in a video.
Heck, half the people cant even make out the deflections / technology in a video.
I know this, because when I started... my Sifu (Teacher) told us that after we learned
a certain amount of WC, we would see movies completely different. Martial artists
who once looked very fast and amazing on film... suddenly looked simplistic and easy
to replicate. I believe he called it the "Kungfu Eye". Just as he said, it rang true
in a very short time of development.
I am considering making a nice demo however. One where I teach a few small woman
the Fajin strike... and have them KO a nice big martial artist from a few inches away.
Time, and finding the woman who have the motivation and dedication, will be the issue.

You can call them The Deadly Viper Assassination Squad.
Xiaou2:
(Please ignore the caterpillar under my nose >.< )
Me at about age 23: 6ft 145 lbs. I was skin and bones... taking on guys like this,
many bigger, stronger, and more skilled than him actually. Actually, this is the guy
who's knee I nearly broke.
As much as he is smiling to the cute girl behind the camera... When hes in action,
hes a steam roller on a mission.
He isnt 'Cut', but under the exterior flab, lies a ton of solid muscle. The guy has
tree-trunks for legs, which filled in his pants to the point where they looked like they
would burst open. Me, my pants were loose as heck... as I have chicken legs.
He has a whole room worth of trophies for 1st place sparring events,
more than likely due to mere power and mass. Still, he wasnt exactly a dummy when
it came to fighting knowledge/skill either.
You can see he was taller, as well as all his limbs and mid section were twice
mine in diameter. He probably had over an 80lb advantage on me, not counting
the height leverage advantage.
When you fight such a contrast, your techniques have to be dead on perfect... or
you do in fact get steamrolled. It took some time before I learned how to put WC
into practice on such guys.. but when I did, it was rare for them to land a shot anymore.
