I will be sure to put together some of the videos you asked for when I get a new video recorder...Patrick Parkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04471858995477729220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30500538.post-77393168784351315132008-07-03T13:36:00.000-05:002008-07-03T13:36:00.000-05:00Frankly I'm fascinated by the fact that someone has taken the time to evaluate this intriguing pause in pacing or action. Thought provoking and nice to have a name to something.<BR/><BR/>Dan's comment makes me think of something our teacher says, "never let that person get that close." Nice to say in class, but I realize real life can be different, but it tempers your interaction with folks after that starts to sink in. I notice that keeping that distance no matter what becomes important to me.Potatoe Fisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16726354074226822669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30500538.post-29868591378751012152008-07-02T12:33:00.000-05:002008-07-02T12:33:00.000-05:00I finally got a chance to take a look at these. They're interesting, but I am curious: most of the fights and confrontations I have seen here in the heart of Redneck Oklahoma start with the combatants very, very close to each other, far closer than the attackers and defender in these video clips--often nose to nose! If you ever feel inclined to dig out the video camera and explore for us how the brush-off might be used against an attacker who didn't start off from so far away, I'm sure it would be interesting.Dan Padenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14366893048089380061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30500538.post-3034539829061261652008-07-01T09:57:00.000-05:002008-07-01T09:57:00.000-05:00Very, very nice.<BR/>I hope you get a chance to see the Peter Ralston Demo (Cheng Hsin) sometime. I'll be curious about your thoughts about his movement.<BR/>D.R.Dojo Rathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12057645566330892415noreply@blogger.com
