He was a little rude, in my mind, to one of my instructor's lately and I wasn't impressed with him. He also warned me once about this forum. Is he a nutbar or what? I found him odd, but I felt harmless?

The present company hijacked the name before anything could be done. They do this to sites which have experienced some traffic in hopes of pulling in some new "clients." Efforts are continueing in trying to get the site back. The nice porn people offered it back to us for a small (HA-HA) fee. In the meantime... you can visit http://www.suwandaacademy.com for Mande Muda related news, contacts, etc...

It is rare that a small guy can wield a big stick well nor can a big guy use a small stick well. The body and its mechanics is part of the dynamics of what makes the "sweet spot" in each stick unique to each user. Taking two equally sized guys the caveman tends to be more effective with a big stick . The technician with good mobility better with smaller but more hits. Police files are replete with perps who keep coming after police have unloaded a 9mm into the perp. It becomes pretty obvious that the stick is a poor weapon and size does not matter. If sticks were really good against the majority of unarmed drunks, drug addicts, and petty theif police would just carry a big stick. Regards, Carlton H. Fung, D.D.S.

I found him odd, but I felt harmless? Nutbar = yep, one with tons of nuts... He will attempt to harm as much as he can, from behind a keyboard. I doubt he ever steps from behind it long enough to pick up a stick and train.
