Hi folks, I know some of you spend a fair amount of time looking at video clips on Youtube etc. and I was just wondering if people could post their favourite, most rip-roaring, full-on, speaks for itself, martially impressive video clips. Nothing subtle or requiring explanation or knowledge to appreciate - just the kind of thing that would make the person in the street go "wow - I wouldn't want to mess with those guys!" In the interests of maintaining harmony, please could we keep the thread comment-free? It would just be a great opportunity to really showcase your art, someone else's or a particularly talented fighter. This clip isn't fast and furious, but it shows some impressive Kali / JKD work I think: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2myXZqzatbE"]Kali Empty Hands / Panantukan & Friends - YouTube[/ame]
Very nice. I do so enjoy Panantukan. Since this was posted on the Internal Martial Arts forum and the first video was a SE Asian art, I'll humbly submit this Silat light sparring video. It was from a seminar put on by MAP member Guru Liam. I was not there but can personally attest that the fellow on the left at around 1:05 can hit like a bull.

I have posted this clip on lots of forums but it still gives me goosebumps every time I watch it. This is the real karate. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5AvCcLwaJQ"]Daido juku MMA karate knockdown - YouTube[/ame] Headbutts and groin shots included
Great stuff - it's good to see different arts alongside each other. This Tongbeiquan guy looks good: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXE-sqVPk_w"]ã€é€šèƒŒæ‹³ã€‘ï¼è‘‰å®ˆç¥è€å¸« 通背快摔 (TongBei Quanï¼fast wrestling ) - YouTube[/ame] [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKD8V8Zp-Sg"]ã€é€šèƒŒæ‹³ã€‘ï¼è‘‰å®ˆç¥è€å¸« 通背快打 (TongBei Quanï¼fast fight ) - YouTube[/ame] And for Xingyi / Bagua / Taiji / Liuhebafa, one of the most impressive people I've seen is Mike Patterson: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9V3wNAMBqg"]YouTube[/ame] [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGnihFoGad8"]YouTube[/ame] [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDs8twCo5lg"]YouTube[/ame] [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGqqiarL9xI"]YouTube[/ame] [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UN0gqzM4tUA"]YouTube[/ame]

<Removed as part of thread cleanup> Post any clips you like of contact work and let them speak for themselves - let the viewer decide for themselves what they consider impressive or not. This is some Kuntao that looks pretty good to me. Just a demo, but quite a nice one. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMeKsIE9-oI"]YouTube[/ame]

I have cleaned up this thread, removing some of the unnecessary posts. This is an official warning to ALL posters in this thread. Trolling (in all its forms) is against the terms of service. If you are found to be baiting, insulting, or acting in any confrontational manner (whether veiled or obvious), then action will be taken. Some of you have gotten away with far too much already. If you have issues with another member, then come to ME. I won't have childish bickering go on in these threads anymore. You embarrass yourselves and your fellow martial artists who continue to use these forums properly. The babysitting is over. From now on, and until further notice, there will be a zero tolerance policy regarding posting. I'm sorry it's come to this, but I refuse to let it go any farther. (A version of this warning has been stickied and posted atop both the IMA and Tai Chi forums).
Some nice looking Silat: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBPdJLW-mBU"]Trailer from the DVD Seminar in France from Pk Haji Syofian - YouTube[/ame]
I particularly liked the part where he deflected the knife upwards with the base of his foot and the bit where he rolled through the guys legs. I love defense against lunge punch and luge with knife!
Have you guys done much knife fighting then? Do you know, I'd have thought that you'd have been itching to show us some super deadly Tai Chi and Yiquan clips. Sharing clips was kind of the point of the thread.
