I am a Black Belt in Karate and Tae Kwon Do as well. I have been doing them since 1974. That said, I feel NO need to drop in to a split for NO reason. He was ALWAYS doing it. I saw him pick up some change once in Hollywood. WITF do you need to do the splits to pick up what you just dropped?
C'mon Arce, you know the reason.
Hollywood. It was his trademark-thing that made him famous to the general populus.
Nothing else.
There was no REAL need to do it in a fight.
Nice point of view, but trust me, i'm over 18, i've been fighting my whole life.... Been getting beat up, paid my dues...
I am into MMA and G4P (only gay if you want it to be) and Mirage Hotels, trained Tapout for ages, have a black belt in Bellator, and still getting beat up... Beating the meat... but even in my 40s, i'm still as lethal as i was in my 20s...
It's been a long road... Lots of pillowtalk.. But i've been there.. when it started, was there to help build it, build the strong foundation we have now...
I could have been one of the Silva's of the 70's.. One of the Mezgers of the 17thcentury, sweating in those black bags despite the upper management, the occult, the religious mistical aspect....
Now at 50, am still beating it.. Still deadly.... Still got the Eye of the Tiger...
Defines who i am...
Peace to the Four Winds...
