Anyway, carry on if you must.

I would like to see just ONE point that Mike Brewer has "won" or refuted. If this is the same way that you've been counting all those supposed fights you had on the mean streets of Colorado Springs, then this too paints a perfect picture. Maybe I haven't made this dialogue about the points enough.
1) Teaching anyone, let alone children and women sportive methods for the use of combat including but not limited to weapon defense and disarms multiple attackers is irresponsible. You won't find a reputable school that claims to teach SD or combatives that uses that approach.
2)Calling a school premier when you don't know what's being taught there is a fast way to get exposed as being full of shit. The Defense Institute does teach sport kickboxing and does train athletes for participation in MMA events. However, they do NOT blur the line between where sportive methods end and reality begins. I've already provided the link, but it wasn't necessary for me because I know that no one claiming to teach VAJ would make such foolish claims. Unlike some people, there is a strong, concrete curriculum that students don't deviate from.
And unlike Mike, people who have actually trained for more than 3 years don't have to make shit up as they go along. And its not just VAJ or the Defense Institute. I've been to Renzo's school in NY when he was partnered with Craig Kukuk and they have acknowledged that what they do in the ring is sportive. I have discussed this with Matt Serra, who lives in NY, trained under Renzo and been in the UFC and Abu Dhabi and he acknowledges that what he does is sport. A tough, demanding sport, but sport nonetheless. Matt Thornton has on occasion asked my senior to come to his schools and teach SD and its principles because while he loves and believes in MMA, he is intelligent enough to know that it isn't meant for the streets so he invites one of the best to come introduce his students to street reality. And Thornton flat out puts it out there: "SBGi is not a wrestling Gym, or MMA "fight club". These men are all great at what they do but have enough sense to call a spade a spade.
Who is Mike Brewer again?
3)Attempting to discuss subject matter that you don't know about with authority further exposes you as full of shit. No matter how you see it Mike Brewer, you were on the soft and hard topic running at the mouth yet again like you knew what you were talking about even though you admitted in your first post on the topic that you didn't. Several members posting there told you the same, but as usual Mike took it as an attack instead of realizing that people who DID know what they were talking about were telling him that his bullshit was transparent and he should read if he wanted to learn and stop preaching. Of course he opted to preach.
4)Constantly telling other people on an internet forum about how tough you are makes you lame. This is undeniably true. When you have to take time out to explain to people that you don't know that you've survived through odds and kicked ass that you can't prove, why bother doing it? Its so that you can lend some sort of "Fonzy" coolness to your posts so the younger posters who might be impressed by that bullshit won't question the things that you write.
5)Why write one thing to disagree with it later?
Originally posted by Mike BrewerCombat is indeed different from ring sport, so if someone trains to compete then they will be missing a whole great big piece of "fighting" when it comes to things like weapons, multiple attackers, surprise attacks, cluttered environments, weight classes or the lack thereof and many other factors. Those things are not part ofthe sport, and therefore, people who train for the sport will generally be unprepared for the variables themselves. To that end, you're 100% correct.
Originally posted by Mike BrewerNow fighting being what it is, it's always best to train to be the little guy and assume that "He" is always "They," and "they" are always armed. that reduces the effectiveness of MMA to a conditioning and mindset exercise, with your other training taking the lead as far as applicable skill for the situation.
Its called hypocrisy. You agree, then you later disagree depending on your mood. You're saying nowadays that MMA methods are applicable in SD combat, but just above you wrote that on the street MMA is reduced to conditioning exercises and a mindset. Which is it? Toe jams must be tasty because you sure keep your foot in your mouth a lot, Mike.
Next you'll be making shit up about how we were saying that MMA fighters COULD NOT learn SD and that SD only works for non-MMA fighters.
The debate has always been about:
The way an intelligent man fights is designed around the most lethal ways that he can be harmed and/or killed which are edged weapons and firearms. His goal is to work smarter, not harder. His training is geared to maximize his efforts by being armed and dirty, not to be fair or fun.
You seemed to have understood that when you wrote the above quotes, but somewhere along the way you got lost. Are you now telling us that within a matter of months you, Mike Brewer, have devised a way for MMA to be all the things you said that it wasn't?
I doubt it. And the fact that you won't put your personal opinions about combat into practice by opening your own school to compete with the schools that you see as premiere means that you yourself don't even believe what you're writing.
Your feeble explanation as to how other schools are doing it is nonsense. StraightBlast is NOT an MMA gym and does not teach MMA as a form of street self defense. Defense Institute is NOT an MMA gym and does not teach MMA as street self defense. The Dog Brothers are not an MMA gym and do NOT teach MMA as street self defense. But you mention ALL of these schools to support your arguments, and none of them fit the criteria. They all offer MMA as a sport for competition and fun, but they all make it clear that they're not teaching MMA as a self defense method.
No one is. So you can continue to write as if you've won something here and pat yourself on the back about arguments that you fail to address. But in the end, all you'll have are the impressionable minds of people here who don't know any better. Have fun doing it, but while you are having fun think about this:
The man's school who you call premier for reality comes from the same family that I do and teaches the same SD foundation, fundamentals and skillsets that are found here at the headquarters in NYC. You call it premier yet argue against the same methodology that I have been writing all along, which is just another instance of hypocrisy.

Oh so you agreed with that? What happened? Change your mind again for no reason?

Feel free to go back and read the first several thousand posts...notice I was more than willing to discuss, but the idiots were too busy showing how moronic they could be.
Try reading the thread where the super moderator lost it and threatened to punch me...there was plenty of substance until that was allowed to stand...but I got a penalty card for "insulting" trolls. More like I got one because it showed just how much of expert Sewer really was on the subject...the very same pic is circulating throughout SF and law enforcement communities with comments how our 5 year olds thought it was funny (and noticed the backwards mag)...Sewer missed it though... HENCE THE PENALTY CARD. But don't let the waves of shit from the the Sewer overwhelm you ...just READ the old posts.

All the methods that you mention Tom assume that its safe to attempt an armbar, lapel choke, key lock or guillotine. Those maneuvers are only safe to use once you've broken a man down and seek to finish him off. There are ways to perform the moves you mentioned in SD Tom, but nearly none of them involve laying on your back or sacrificing awareness by mounting and grounding and pounding.
Originally posted by Tom YumYou can pull these off in the dojo with a resisting opponent; you can pull them off in the street just as well, especially if you end up on the ground despite your best efforts
Rickson Gracie is arguably one of the best ground grapplers in the world, and even he isn't going to successfully ground grapple and win against 2+ men. That says a lot about your odds.

Just something we all would like to know...
BoarSpear, its not my intention to frustrate you or even insult you like you claimed. Its just that you've ducked this question....
What are the 4 approved methods of throwing someone in mongolian wrestling?
And how do you go about training something like that?
And Uke, i think we would like to know what you train in....?

Originally posted by Uke View PostTake some advice from your boy Mike back when he wrote "Its better to assume that "He" is always "They," and "they" are always armed. Its probably the smartest thing he's ever written and if he truly believes that then he knows it should discourage anyone from attempting sporting maneuvers that don't take weapons or multiple attackers into account. Anyone with common sense isn't trying to "pull off" moves in the street. There is a logical way to engage an attack and then there is the luck of the draw pulling something off. I'm sure you could "pull off" a figure four leg lock in a fight but it would be stupid to teach your students that its a viable method of self defense because you're on the ground tied up with your opponent and you have no mobility and much less awareness.
