Disregard this. All hail Phil Elmore! :icon_rr: :ohyeah: :icon_chee :tongue5:
About time someone said this… if you spend 1/2 hour looking on youtube for RBSD tips and ‘expert detail’ then you’ll have wasted at least 26 minutes - the remaining 4 minutes is obviously seeing the one vid that isn’t a pile of toss.
Well - I’ve just read Phil Elmore’s bits of stuff on his ‘Martialist’ site.
The main issue I have with this man - as with so many others like him, is that he has very little in the way of anything approaching a high-level ranking in any combative subject (including any well taught traditional MA).
He then has this unfortunate habit of giving an opinion that is presented in such a way to give it an appearance of fact.
He then continues in this vein (or should I say vain) for some time, even going to present other people’s ‘discoveries’ as things he has stumbled across in his quest to find the true meaning of ‘RDSB training’.
Yet - sadly there’s never a shred of evidence that the theories he states are actually genuinely effective… all the while he continues to criticize almost anything that disagrees with his ‘theories’ and unsubstantiated claims.
The day he puts his money where his mouth is and physically proves once and for all that what he talks of in his writings do genuinely work against a fully resiting opponent…
Is most likely the day we find Lucifer snow boarding to work.
Lucifer snowboarding to work? I’m sorry, but that sounds like the most awesome visual ever. As for Phil, let’s examine some of his stellar arguments against Bullshido. Here’s what he says regarding some of our attacks on some RBSD instructors.
I think that speaks for itself. I mean, that has to be some of the greatest debating ever. Truly, the fact that assault is illegal has no affect on this.
Phil Elmore destroyed the perodic table because the only element he believes in is the element of surprise…and whatever’s in the batteries he uses for his flashlight sword fighting or…whatever. He’s a tool.
Not to disagree or anything…but aren’t tools supposed to be useful for something?
Did I say tool? I ment to say fool!!
Teh reel deel
I, for one, have studied deeply his teachings. I the 8-10 life and death street fights I engage in in both Chicago, Bangcock, and Shanghai, I have never been touched, let alone injured. I have become a master of the eight gates of DIM MAK.
:violent1: :violent1: Phil Elmore, the lone voice in the wilderness that first made us aware of the “homeless threat.” If any one wants to gain insight in the mind of the “Martialist” read the revised edition of Michael Shermer’s “Why people believe weird things.” There actually is a cult built around Ayn Rand and her teachings; it goes a long way in explaining how someone could embrace such ideas and go forth into the world as “an opponent of pacificism.”:violent1:
Practical use of the long blade for self-defense by: me -
- Wear a really big trench coat with an extra long inside pocket.
- carry a sword in said pocket everywhere you go.
- When people try to start fights with you PULL OUT THE SWORD!
- Laugh as they shit their pants and run.
- Go home.
Almost everybody knows somebody like Phil Elmore in real life. Usually a paranoid, right-wing crackpot who listens to talk radio obsessively and rants and raves about how much better the country would be if they’d just let him take charge, bring back impalement and slavery and post German Shepherds (with AK-47s strapped to their back) on every street corner.
That’s what makes him so hilarious. His appeal is universal.
P.S. Michael Shermer’s “Why People Believe Weird Things” is definitely an excellent read. The new “Why Smart People Believe Weird Things” addition should have made the first cut.
I have heard that after the wild success of his initial groundbreaking tomes(all twelve were bought/given to his sycophants that have their heads up his ass), that he is about to unleash on them/us the next series of must haves; “Shower Nunchaku”, and “Prom Night Brass Knuckles”. He’s giving a discount to those that help him pay for his “bug out Jeep” , or “Bug out second addition to the house” or the “Bug out boob job”. Martialists Koolaid is next…
Rucass
Ps, This is my "howdy " post.

First: that would defintely cut down on the illegal alien (yes illegal and not “undocumented” for all the bleeding hearts out there) problem.
Right-wingers (I prefer conservative) are not the paranoid people in this country (USA) . Just read any major news paper or view the nightly news. Everything the LIBSOCOMS spew out of their pie holes is doom and gloom. All in an effort to control the weak minded-government dependant-do nothings who, unfortunately are a physical majority.
As for talk radio…ever notice that every LIBSOCOM talk radio show has failed completely. That’s because they suck and people are tired of hearing lies.
We could televise the impalings on a new reality show like “Top Executioner” or “Ram Rod”.
Slavery?? Don’t really need it in a techo-society. It costs too much to keep them. But it would give the German Shepards something to play with.
German Shepards don’t use AK’s they use H&K’s.
Actually Phil used to brag over on e-dildo how he was just a JKD guy and didn’t know much about other arts. When did he start using Japanese swords? Oh and his writings are good comedy.
:laughing6:jerkit2yf:adora::XXjester:
true true
i guess there is a point there… u wouldnt really realise wat hes done after kickboxing and jujutsu practice cuz ur beaten up 2 the point where s*it comes outta u… if wat the guy has written is true den respect cuz i havnt cn the clips…
It is really unfair, the Government in the UK has banned the sale of Samurai swords. This means that when the Apocalypse finally hits the streets, we won’t have anything to battle the hordes of evil with. Maybe Phil could have a word with Gordon (Brit Prime Minister for the colonials) and explain to him the importance of every citizen having the right to carry 3 feet of razor-sharp steel (under the custom leather trenchcoat, optional hole in the upper back of said garment for a smooth “Blade - like” unsheathing) with which to defend ourselves. I still think that sabres are legal to buy here, but they don’t look as cool and only have one sharpened edge and a single handed grip - this is definitely not sufficient to cause your assailant to simultaneously vomit, lose control of his bladder and bowels and ultimately to prostrate himself on the floor at your awesome battle skills and War-face. Please Phil, help us out, the free world is in danger and only you can save us.
Wait a minute! Trench coats! Swords hidden in them! OMG Phill’s Duncan McCloud! The Highlander. Quick somebody cut off his head! There can be only one!:5dunce:
WTF
I have now official seen everything!
This MF!
Is a fucking GENIUS!!
How many people do you know carry a sword on the street AND know how to use it!!! He could take on Steven Segal in Out for Justice!!!
I’m impressed.
:qright5:
amazing
