American Kenpo: Dance of Death

[Chapel]

I'm wondering more about the possibility of ripping someone's arm off... Good luck with that one. To me, that sounds more like combining all sorts of possible techniques into one easily practicable routine that you wouldn't ever actually get the chance to do in a self-defense situation (GASP! It's a kata!)

then wrench the arm like this and it'll break here, wrench it over your knee here and it'll break again and do a strike here and it'll break for the third time, and if you kick this part of the arm while pulling the hand, his arm will now come off"

LOL! That's what I mean. The matter-of-fact assumption that this or that will break if you do X or Y just because that's what's 'supposed' to happen is funny/sad. The arm actually coming off part is pretty hilarious.

Sounds like too much fictional reading, movies, or video games......

All I need is a super soldier serum, some gamma radiation & to say the magic words "You wouldn't like me when I get angry!" & I'll be 8 foot tall, 450 pounds of mean green muscle. Then I can do it... lol

Maybe he's just being really dramatic for dislocating the arm?

Nah, a shame to say, but he was completely sincere about everything he said, bless him. Other than that he's not a ninja wannabe or someone who can often be seen going for early morning jogs to the waterfall with weights attached to his arms and legs. He's as normal as any fellow who is into fighting. Just has a bizzare view that his Kenpo works without fail because of stories his teacher told him. I know we all trust our parents and our teachers more than others, hell, I believe in the story about one of my Capoeira instructors knocking a mugger out with a single kick, but I know that the same thing probably won't work for me because I'm a skinny little midget while my instructor is the hulk in disguise, as well as the experience difference.
