Hi again Allan! Thanx for the kind words! It warms!

I understand what you say about tricks. I have read about people freezing bricks to make them brake easier etc., but have not seen anything regarding eggs yet! But who knows, maybe there are some clever methods to duplicate this too with some kind of trick. But when it comes to my training, I am serious, and would never sink to such a low level and put up some trick to "impress" people. If I can`t do the real stuff, it`s best not do it at all. And this is no matter what were talking about.

For instance at training, when I teach the students jumping techniques- I jump with them! I don`t shout and command - just standing there and looking at them, but I participate WITH my students. If we are going to do jump high, I have to push myself to do that. If one students is able to jump higher than me - thats fine! I have done my best, and if someone who is younger and more fit are better than me, thats good! My goal is to make my students better than myself. Dealing with tricks and "magic" cant do them any good at all. And if I did, I would in reality, just trick myself! What goes around - comes around..

Freestyle Martial Arts is just a term of what we are training in here. Its a synthesis combining some of the things I have been training, Tae Kwon Do, Krav Maga, Capoeira, some Kung Fu stuff, chi gung etc. No belts, no ranks, just training
