He might be an 'actor', but unlike Steve Segal, he knows his ####.

Bring it.

I've had no trouble moving much bigger people. It's about balance as much as anything.

Right. First off, kung-fu is not a martial art, second, it's Wushu, which is the true word for all the Chinese martial arts. And I ask you to tell that Shooto is complete #### to any UFC fighter, most of who have had some training in it, or one of its derivatives.

Yes. Boxers could kick many a martial artists ass.

I didn't say you should lie down before you fight, I believe Valg said something to that effect.

Never heard of it. And I personally think that Karate is a joke. If it's not full contact, you're not learning ####.

So does Wushu, though we would use buckets with small rocks along with punching bags. But apparently the only Wushu you've seen has been in a Chinese opera.

Tell that to DC/Boldereth. He's a badass straight from the NYC yo!
