The Way of the Empty Hand

[Blue glove: drops guard and pulls hand back as part of jab+ counter. Red glove: retracts hand then upper cuts without any shifting as soon as he sees the opening. Maybe when he sees the torso move before the hand? Doesn’t drop his guard. I think moves it up to protect his glface from the jab?]

I see nothing wrong here..#CarryOn

This is obviously terrible that the man was being harassed but why did I laugh when the the white man just kicked off his flip flops? 😂

Because he kicked them off like he was about to do something and just got knocked the fuck out.

been thinking about this ever since, it’s interesting how homogenised the riot police response is around the world now, whether it’s in Hong Kong or BLM protests or the tradie revolt in Melbourne today.

I’m not sure what’s the best part of this video: the fact that she’s in heels, the fact that she does the whole thing looking like she don’t give a fuck, that chick in the back just exercising and enjoying the show, or the fact that both men and women are observing this and the girls are laughing and the guys look concerned/pensive as fuck as they watch all their tactics get shut down like nothing is even happening.

… msties is it just me or is this familiar?

Some of these are moves I haven’t seen before.

Some of this looks similar to the self defense I learned in a course three or four years ago. It’s definitely got some judo in it (arm bars, throws, fighting to and from the ground). I love this lady. She is rad. I feel like she, much like the rad lady I had as my self defense teacher, would also warn the women that if they don’t think they can gouge out someone’s eyes, don’t start trying because you’ll attack better with something you can follow through on.

The cheerful music makes it even better
