Shopping bags, belts/sashes, keys, cell phones, pens, umbrellas, rolled up magazines... One of the things I love about FMA is the reinforcement and translation of the same motions and angles in techniques between different weapons. I doubt this particular guy is doing anything but empty hand training. 20 years ago it was much easier to keep illusions about skill levels; that is one good thing about the Gracies and the MMA stuff. He can't delude people as easily. -- David N.
