I really enjoyed this clip. As realistic as I've observed without blood and concrete. Angela shoulda hit 'em harder though. Maybe that's what she meant...grin.

Extensio, extension, extension!
I was doing my constipated Kenpo...lol. Seriously though it was just too tight for two men to be on me. I would have extended more (larger circles), bent my knees more/settled better, and probably not blown through it so quickly. WHERE WAS THE FUCKING FIRE (or a forward bow for that matter!?
Oh and I would have hit (my boyfriend at the time) a LOT harder with the stick...LOL. A split lip was all he got out of it
Angela L. McNamee
Danica Talos Was Onto Something

You read like Sean Kelley...only what you WANT to see.
Only thing is you forgot to insult Larry...dumbass. Wrong with you? LOL
"Work on my basics, " forsooth. You wouldn't know them if you got bit by 'em--and anyway, 'fraid I'm a little too old to pay that much attention to your sort of snapping-towels-in-the-locker-room fifth-grade-attempted-bullying crap. So, it is what it is, and not bad for eight years ago....but come to think of it, I had this same stupid conversation with two clowns over on kenponazi's little brother, years ago, so again--I say go look it up, I stand by what I did, I thought at the time Angie and William and Cliff were better, and I know damn well neither one of you guys could do nearly as well. Otherwise, kids, it's, "Dr."

LOL so you can say work on your basics to others, but when someone says the same to you you call it bullying? ROFLMAO....
here is a tip, for eight years ago as it seems..... work on cancelling your opponents zones before you try to move them, that way they do not have to help you. Can you honestly look at what you did and say that you did a great job with basic principles like that? and yes you are right that angela and Cliff were better then you, As far as me knowing a basic when I see one, well it appears your hypocracy knows no bounds, as you don't know shit about my kenpo other what you may hear from someone secondhand. So you keep telling yourself your good, and by golly people like you..... ya lol
and once again I will call people Dr.if and only if I respect them, you have done nothing close to something I see as deserving respect, so we will stick to robert, or bobby and I see no necessity to capitalize it either.
I won't comment negatively on anyone... I 'spect we all have room for improvement. If you take into consideration, Doctor Bob's apparent size, he ain't gonna move like my one true love, Angela.** And he, not being in his twenties, anymore, may not move as concisely, or as swiftly as fellow #2. But... There is gold in them thar hills, and he handles his size nicely. If you watch him with an eye toward capability as opposed to criticism and take the other stuff mentioned above into effect, I suspect his Kenpo would work quite well.
I like all you guys, and gals, and am often flummoxed at the way you all, me included more often than not, tend to put on airs. Regarding the use of the term Doctor, whether or not you respect the man, the title stands. It is valid, and legal in all 50 states and parts of Brazil. Of course, the same types of allegations and so on were made to Doc Chapél many times over the years. You really aren't hurting much of anyone by not recognizing the Doctor approbation, but you are tending to show your ass. We are, after all, a civilized society with just a slight bent toward being able to kill multiple attackers.
**This is much how I imagine my first date with Angela! ROFLMAO!!!!!!
Dr Robertson............. what rank where you in the video?
Unlike a couple of y'all, I never claimed, nor thought, to be god's gift to kenpo. My talents are by my standards modest, and I've had an advantage very few of you have had--I've consistently trained with people who are more talented, stronger martial artists in many ways. And oh yes, I hate performing, and it's never been what I do well in martial arts. Unlike a couple-three of y'all, I am perfectly willing to tell you that, a) I thought my shoulders were hunched, b) I tended to lumber, being kinda flat-footed at the time. However, a) the strikes are precise and the techniques well-articulated and applied, b) there's power there, and c) the routine makes sense from a self-defense standpoint. If you believe you can do better--after all, I could at this point--mazeltov, go git 'em, and I will particularly be interested to see how you do over the long haul. But in case anybody gives a rat's about my, "Hey, fuck you," tone on this thread, well, it's been a long very busy year, and I'm pretty bored with this sort of mean-spirited clownery. Moreover, I've come to believe that with certain sorts of bullies, attempts at courtesy and restraint are read as weakness and I've grown tired of the attempt by some--and I mean David and Clark--to project THEIR issues in my direction. Your problems, guys--I got a whole 'nother rack of issues of personal stupidity to confront. And oh yeah--a fair chunk of your objections are poilitical. You've both bought into the whole Limbaugh-O'Rilly-Lykis-Savage-Bush, "liberals are the enemies of America," (as though I even WERE a liberal) horseshit, and you're imitating their same screeching tactics. Which is why you always lose these little discussions: you fall back on the, "ideas," and tactics of right-wing ignoramuses, and I fall back on the likes of...well, let's just say better. So you figure that this video shows I'm a phony? That you can do better? Fine; good for you, join the crowd. Go do better, and quit worrying about your made-up, trivial hatred for somebody you've never even met. You want to criticize--fine, me too, so go learn how, or pay attention to the way I do it.
I mean, I'd hate to think that you knew damn well the video shows somebody who was better than you eight or nine years ago, and you were just saying this crap to "get back," for insults that are all in your own heads.
P.S. Mr. Connelly--l believe you can plainly see what rank I am from the video, which was taken at the, "Heart of the Art," tournament in Pasadena in 2000, as you know quite well. I also believe you will find discussion easier if you are clear about having seen this video some four years ago, and about both your motives and your point.
LOL robert. you are pretty funny really.
The Parrot calling the kettle black? I usually respond when you have been spouting your usual crap, I am pretty sure I have never started any post or discussion on politics on this forum, You however bring it up damn near every post slamming conservatives as evil, and Liberals as the saviors of the country. Problem is more then half the country doesn't want your America... they dont want a Nanny Government telling them what to do and whats good for them. I have not defended the talk show conservatives you continually post about and say are corrupt and evil, I have simply said that the liberal counterparts are no better and in my eyes are often much worse. I get annoyed reading your constant bullshit, and your right most of my objections to your posts have been about your ridiculous comments outside of kenpo matters. Its definitely not an arguable matter to say go back to basics, focus on basics, basics are important, etc.etc. You are definitely a Salesman of Motion, I have no doubts you can talk kenpo, and can read and understand it, I dont think I have ever stated anything to the contrary there. I saw the video, and as I have on pretty much every video posted here I gave my honest thoughts, when I wrote my first post I did not even know it was you, and when Clark mentioned who it was I chuckled and decided to poke at you a little with your own comment about basics.... escpecially given the nature of the video.. I will admit its far from the worst I have seen, but it was definitely not realistic, it was pretty obvious to me that without the cooperation of your Ukis that you would have looked much worse, now for any demo that was a given, but I stand by my earlier comment that you tried to muscle through movements rather then unbalance your opponent and use leverage to move them.
If you want me to stop posting negative replies to you then leave your political bullshit out of it, and the negative comments will stop almost completely. I am sure a disagreement or two on movement might come up in the future, but you dont really comment on much besides the basics anyways, and thats pretty easy to get right in writing.
I love how you assume I am a Bully, or at least insinuate that I am one, without having any knowledge of me. I don't take shit from anyone, I dont let ridiculous statements or comments or videos stand without stating my feelings, and I debate to whatever level things I believe in until I have proven my point, changed my mind, or gone as far as the opposing person is willing to go before I let it go. I don't bully anyone, I just call bullshit where I see it.
Besides if you want to think about Bullying on the forums maybe you should think of how you post, constantly trying to remind everyone how smart you think you are, and how many books you read, and how you echo the emotions, thoughts, and feelings of authors you dont even know, and namedrop like anyone who has not read or knows the books is inferior to you. You want to see an internet bully look in the mirror.
I just simply don't sit back and let your bullshit go, which is why like most people with no self confidence you cry and make wild claims of bullying tactics, looking for sympathy from others rather then try to prove your point with original thoughts and statements. Like I said before you are little more then a Parrot, repeating the party lines, claiming certain types of people are bad, and America is bad for being what we are, and that we should all change ...blah blah blah.... get a clue.
