Let’s try and have a thread on TMA stories you believe to be true or seen yourself.
I trained with a guy, a BJJ black belt. He was part Chinese and was a little crazy. He told me a few TMA stories which I believe he believed.
Dim Mak, he told me a story of a guy swiping his face like a tiger, he dint actually touch him. My friend said his face felt like it was paralyzed. The guy told him the problem would become worse and eventually become permanent. He fixed it with pressure point shit
He also trained knife fighting with a Filipino knife fighter. This guy fought to the death, he used his forearm as meat shield, he’d trap the knife in his forearm and finish the guy fast. He said the guys forearm was badly scared
I have a few more. I’ll post them later
I talked to a karate teacher who I read beat MoSmith, probably tap fighting. He got into a bad car accident and lost both legs. He has metal legs now like Lieutenant Dan.
He has a Mcdojo here and makes a lot of money
My TKD instructor told us a story about how some guy tackled him during a sparring session. He wrestled in HS, so he was able to handle himself on the ground. He let the guy get up and then beat him up on the feet. He was short but had a thick, fireplug build. I never saw it, just heard the story. It was probably in the adult class, and I was 12 at the time. I trained with him many years after that, and no groundfighting was taught.
