Didn't see the leaving technique. While he's dancing he'll be put down by a normal hand-to-hand man.

James Bond said about ninjas - they won't last an hour in Berlin.

Saw a fight once. One of them danced and danced in front of a man, waving his arms and legs. He looked at him, looked at him, then punched him between the eyes and moved on.

Well and a bedtime quote -

"The development of a young person's cognitive faculties to the degree necessary for the inherent independent judgment of a rigorous quality in science is usually achieved only through forms of education beginning with the study of the Greek and later classics, giving the greatest importance to the study of mathematics, biology and physics, so that the student experiences again the original act of every important revolutionary and axiomatic discovery of his predecessors.

The erroneous substitution (in particular, the use of textbooks and generally accepted algebraic formalisms to replace their wrestling with classical and other original sources) has produced the type of person with a higher education that prevails even among those burdened with the highest degrees, and which was contemptuously called Brotgelehrten by Friedrich Schiller - "scientists working for a piece of bread".

The substitution of the development in students of an independent capacity for rigorous original discovery by a behaviourist model of "teaching" has led to a virtually universal lack of capacity for independent thought amongst the typical academic and other strata of the population. Above all this applies to axiomatic assumptions.

This moral defect of judgement is found in its most extreme forms."

This clown's an average melee dancer.

I used to do different styles of hand-to-hand when I was young for 5 years. I've seen a lot of pretentious dancers.

on the street, it's a punching bag.

but it might work on impressionable girls. )))))) to each his own.

Or maybe a rich kid came in, a commie apprentice, so he's making a fool out of himself to earn his money.

(My U had some commercials as well, they put on a show in the style of Chinese films with jumps, shouts, rolls ))) people were delighted, because that's what they had seen on video films

the real fight lasts for seconds and is not spectacular at all, even boring
