Shuai jiao

He was very famous young as the young, violent junkyard dog.

And he accrued a group of people who were already very famous in the Pao Chui world, in the Xingyi world, in the Shuaijiao world, who became his students.

But they were his age.

A lot of them, all of them had died except for one, Liu Shichang, who was a great mentor of mine as well.

And then, you know, we had whiteboard time too.

It's like, how do you train the intellectual? But the tactics don't work in any system, whether it's, you know, Filipino Eskrima, whether it's Indonesian knife fighting, whether it's a weapon-based system, whether it's a physical system, it could be Shuai Jiao, it could be Judo.

The tactics do not work if the body hasn't moved in those patterns and forms properly.

That make the neural pathways for the tactics to work properly.

And Lavelle is very enthusiastic, very charismatic person and everybody gets contained and it's contagious to be around him.

So naturally, I wanted to do Shuai Jiao and my first Shuai Jiao tournament, I regretted not working in a rule set for a little bit more because the jacket was like a super heavy samurai clad, like, you know, not leather.

It's a different jacket.

There is no long sleeve.

It's super hard or whatever.

So my challenge in Shuai Jiao more so was figure out the grip conundrum.

Because I know no Gi grips, you know, I've done forever.

And I know regular Gi Osambo jacket or whatever.
