Training with Royce Gracie

[FPV+fteT3]

Was lucky enough to be asked to attend a training session with Royce Gracie on saturday. Royce whose UFC record is 51 and 1 is the undisputed champ. Probably the highlight of my martial arts training so far. The bloke is an expert at what he does and the things he showed us were easy and effective. A funny guy who ads bits of humor to the proceedings as he is testing how far your arm will go before snapping.
The Q&A at the end mainly involved his pro career he is 6'1" and 80kg his biggest opponent to date was 6' 10" 220kg he reckons the best fighters are the best strategists not the biggest or hardest hitters fights are won with your head he says.

Looking foreward to teaching my students some interesting stuff at training this week for me it was different to what I normally do but in martial arts there is so much to learn and you will never know it all.
IMHO the pressure point training that I teach is the most useful tool in todays society you dont need to be strong just know where to find them apply the technique and the attacker is yours makes it great training for women and for the ones that will report you to the police on assault charges for the most part leaves no marks cant even see where you have been.

All the years I have spent training it has become almost a way of life yet never really had to use excessive force at all outside of training funny it gives you a sense of peace and what is worth fighting for and when to leave well enough alone or maybe its how to avoid confrontation as master Chong Chul Rhee told me when you decide the only way is to fight make sure to do what ever it takes.
