The truth about reality based fight training
There has been an explosion of reality based fight training on the internet, in magazines and in book stores across America and the World. It seems that everyone who can think of any move they made up while sleeping, dreaming, or in a magic fighting class has a new reality based training program.
I just picked up the new Black Belt Magazine, where I had a front page cover story about 10 things I learned from Royce Gracie, and no less than 20 ads for reality based fight training filled the pages. There were guys who would show you how to kill anyone in a dark alley, stop a gang with a flick of your wrist, and how to destroy any bully or MMA fighter just by looking mean. Well, mabyee not that extreme, but apparently they all have trained the US Navy Seals, and various Police forces across America in their deadly art of bulljitsu and have the money to buy $5,000 ads in Black Belt, so they are very far above me in their training and especially in their selling of training.
No don't get me wrong, all the reality based training in the magazines are not crazy made up stuff, but I tend to have some serious doubts about 2 page ads that are all text with no photo's because the techniques are too deadly to be show. It's kind of like the Capt X or LT Z who sells 1,000's of DVD's on the Internet and can't use his real name because the Ninja Kill squads of General xyz would come and kill his family, they wouldn't dare come and kill him, they couldn't possibly, but they will come and kill his children, but only if they are alseep, because his training is so deadly that even an infant could beat Kimbo if he dared to attack them.
Just do some google seaches on "deadly self defense, ninja techniques, reality based fight training" and 10,000+ pages will pop up as fast as the heads will pop off any punk who would dare to attack Ninja Master Ghungo with a machine gun. If only the real Navy Seals had bothered to learn from grandmaster blaster instead of the Gracies, they could have easily captured a million more terriorist. It's true, I don't know why all the real police forces are taing Gracie jiu jitsu, and real MMA training, when they could be taking bulljitsu from the great reality star, Killfunggu.
So here's the point. Before you spend your hard earned money buying DVD's, books and lessons from someone who can't even tell you his real name, think about actually investing in classes at a local Martial Arts School, or from teachers who have actually been in real fights with real punks and have earned the respect of the real Martial Arts World. Like the Gracies, Joe Lewis, etc. Nothing against the guys for trying to make a living selling people fairy tales, but when you become an adult you stop reading fairy tales and start reading novels.
