No, no. It's like, you know, you're in you're in the gym. They roll out the wrestling mat and it's like, OK, come at the guy like with your rifle. You know, a bunch of fucking white belts basically like out there fucking around basically.
Yeah, there was a system back then. And the system was really, I think, kind of four things without really knowing what they did back then. I went through the training, but I don't really know what the... Hand to hand was back then until later when I was like in the hand to hand program or fighting with guys. You know what I mean? But I would say this back then. I'd say it was wrestling.
It was Muay Thai. Right. It was a little bit of Japanese wrist locks and some Filipino martial arts.
Kali. Yeah. We had guys that would do the sticks. I know a little bit of the sticks, you know, like first time I got smacked 37 fucking times around the head. It was another guy with his sticks. It was like, what the fuck was that? Like, how do these sticks move so fucking fast?
Yeah. Super impressed. So I think that was really the foundation. Like, and, you know, maybe like some, I don't know, like dirty boxing, I would kind of imagine, you know what I mean? Yeah. Clinching, punching, stuff like that.
Yeah. Kind of odd, right? But I love all that, the stick fighting, what do they call it, pontukin or whatever, the dirty boxing they do. All very make your opponent off balance at the same time you can strike. Or if they are trying to strike you, knock them off balance.
Yeah.
Yeah, fucking kick his leg.
Well, I mean, think about America. Like, prior to Mike Tyson, boxing was kind of like Americans. If they would have seen, like, Hicks and Gracie, you know, if Hicks and Gracie would have been popular in, like, the 70s or 60s, people would have been like... Well, that's not civilized fighting. You know what I mean? Right, right. Get your dukes up. This has got to be fair. You know what I mean?
Americans have a very fair sense of what fighting should be like. Americans hate like dirty fighting. And but, you know, all the all Muay Thai and Kali and all that, that was all seen. You know, those guys would come from Asia, fight around the states here, fucking kick everyone's ass. And people still weren't attracted to it.
I've seen Chuck in there.
Chuck was very legit.
He ain't even running away well.
Yeah, his kick had no power there.
Yeah.
I love it.
Yeah.
Yeah. I love it. I love all of it. Yeah. I'll tell you that leg kick is my go to in Iraq and Afghanistan. You know what I mean? Like. I get about this far from you. This is good distance for me. You can't grab my weapons, but what I would do is I'd throw the tie leg kick, but I wouldn't aim for the middle of the thigh. I don't care about your pain.
I'd hit your knee and either it's going to break your knee or it's going to knock you out of your little fucking slippers. And then I just stand on your neck.
I love that it's always evolving, too.
