LOL...I knew you were gonna ask me that and I'm not really sure. I think it's some sorta Jujitsu or something. It's a defensive form, and he gets special grades for passing using a 6'long stick for defense, and for using numchucks, and I specifically remember these batons that look like a "T", but one end is longer than the other and you hold onto the legs of two of them and swing them around to whack the other dude in the head or crotch or wherever.
Mark usedta be quite the wildman as a young'un, but he readily admits his martial arts training got his life focused again as he definitely wasn't pre-law before the martial arts training became such a major part of his life.
FReegards...MUD
BTW..."I'd think the man is teaching, huh?"
Not really, although when you get to the point he is, yer sorta like a Teacher'sAssistant for those less far along than yourself. He does compete, though...I've gotta bring the kids to see UncleMark perform someday!!
I see.

There're many types of weapons in the ancient martial arts arsenal.
I'm familiar with everything you've mentioned; in fact, just acquired my first pair of (practice) numchucks.
Oughta be interesting learning how to handle these things; although, a wicked device called only a, "Comma" looks really interesting, too.

Yes, the arts can dramatically change one's life; make no mistake about that.
As a memeber of our, "Black Belt Club" I've had to make certain commitments to my instructors, *&*, to myself.
Obligations I take very seriously.
"Not really, although when you get to the point he is, yer sorta like a Teacher'sAssistant for those less far along than yourself."
Of course.
Doesn't take his impressive ranking to be expected to assist the lower ranks, such as that.
Although, one's really fortunate if they've a ranked BB to help.
"He does compete, though...I've gotta bring the kids to see UncleMark perform someday!!"
You've gotta do more than that too, y'know.
One day you must have UncleMark introduce your babies -- when they're around 7 or 8 -- to his club.
The discipline will help your children to achieve anything that set their sights throughout their life & make your job parenting infinetly easier & enriching.
~& the cost is nominal, a true value if ever there were.
I kid-you-not.
Then after the kids are enrolled?
UncleMark should try to persuade you to become involved, with your children.
Before ya get too fat. :o)
There isn't a better way -- under the sun -- for a Father and/or Mother & their children to bond, grow together as a family in a realistic & practical way suitable to these strange times we're living in.
...none.
