18 May -- Dog Meat
Now here is a clip of a guy, Ueharu Seikichi, who was seriously deluded with regard to the reality of what constitutes a martial art. Can you imagine what would have happened to him if he would have met one of the Dog Brothers? Even if a time machine had enabled Seikichi and a Dog Brother to meet while Seikichi was in his prime, if he tried this kind of shit on a Dog Brother armed only with a stick (let alone a knife or a sword), in a matter of seconds he'd have been dog meat. Now I know that Ueharu lived until he was 100, but deluded is deluded, no matter how old you are. And you know what? There are busloads of his kind along with their students/stooges all over the world. Including Great Britain. And I know for a fact that a couple of them will be appearing at SENI this weekend under the same roof as one of the greatest fighters the world has ever seen, Ernesto Hoost. Talk about mixing up dreams with reality.
This is the problem with events like SENI--they put all the bullshit under the same roof with proven fighters; this gives the impression that we're all cousins in the same martial art family. But we're not. There's no relation. Just use your eyes.
And by the way, I don't know what Hoost is earning these days, but I'd be willing to bet it ain't anywhere near what a number of specialists in delusion are pulling down.
Anyway, enjoy the Dog Brothers clip--these guys are my personal favourites and if I had a gym or piece of land, I would definitely be copying their idea.
