Reverse crescent kick, and yes, normally to slow to be practical.

Speak for yourself. It was a movie, but I could do faster and higher than that. My buddy and main sparring partner was faster still. And the guy that taught me was a blur. We called it a reverse spin kick, BTW.

Honest question, Have you ever witnessed or personally applied martial arts practically in a real fight? Not an MMA match but a real street fight. I mean specifically spin kicks and the like. Not grappling techniques or punches. I can't think of many scenario's where something like a round house to the back would work effectively. Most fights last 30 seconds or so probably. I guess better to be trained and not use it than not trained.

Have you ever torn out a man's esophagus with your bare hands?  If not then you have no frame of reference and need to step off.

Yes, Yes I have. See one time I was a bouncer in this small town and by this lake.....

less dramatic, but as he was screaming across the lake..I'd ov just shot him with a Barrett .50, gone back inside, and had my way with the blonde...

quicker death than pancreatic cancer..

Yes, but its been many years. Was attacked by 3 guys over a completely stupid reason. Thought one of them from a distance was someone I knew, and yelled "Hey, stop."  Things got off on a bad note, and my buddy, who couldn't fight for S--t started mouthing off. I told him to run (he was in fact a long distance runner) and the biggest of the three raised his arms and said, "Put 'em up." I had a brown belt, hard earned after 3 years of practice, including competition. I got into stance, and they thought that was funny. I was wearing my steel toed work shoes, and was afraid I was going to kill someone.  The main guy came at me, the other 2 ran after my friend who was yelling "F you!" from across the street. The guy was big, strong, and didn't know anything about fighting. I tried to discourage him. Kept hooking my feet around his back, tapping him in the kidneys. Eventually, he threw himself at me, and I caught him in the back of the head while he plowed me over the curb. At this point, his buddies had their knives out and were saying "Let him go!" I raised my hands, and he yelled
Get him now. I stuck both hands either side of his esophagus and just stared them down. About then, the police arrived. They asked if I wanted to press charges. I said know, it was just a stupid misunderstanding. One cop asked "How did he get those lumps all over his head?" "Uhh, I think he fell down."

You are officially the 1st person I have ever spoken to who Danny LaRussoed  themselves into a victory during a fight. Congrats! Thanks for sharing. That's a pretty crazy story.

The Constitution won big today.  Justice Kennedy is retiring.  The days of judicial activism are coming to an end.

RIP Joe Jackson.  If not for your vicious right hook we may have never known "Thriller".

I was in this fight one time. I had just gotten out of the Army as a Ranger, so one night my wife (who was a bartender at the local bar) and I walked out to my car and these 3 guys that had been messing with us inside wanted to fight. Things got heated and I knocked 2 of the guys out and broke the others nose accidently killing him. I went to jail and eventually earned my release. They put a bunch of us on a plane to be moved across country and the other inmates broke free and hijacked the plane. I had to fight all of them eventually crash landing the plane in Vegas. It was a wild ride.

My jerk cousin Nicolas Coppola heard me tell that story during a party at my Uncle Bernie's place this one time. It was a crazy weekend at that party.

I’m ashamed, ASHAMED of the OP posting all this political noise on a BBQ, née, a Komodo cooking site.  It’s uncalled for.  He hasn’t cooked in months. He should delete his account!

I always wondered why I saw towels in bookstores in Moscow many many years ago - it's a Communism thing apparently.

Figured with the Nic Cage quotes this would be a good place to tell everyone I found out today he has a new movie coming out called Mandy. Holy F&$k does it look awesome.  Check out the trailer on YouTube
