E-mails to Mr.Traylor Good & Bad Mr.Traylor I have been to your w ebsite and I find it extremely interesting, I have taken ????????? for 3 years and was very happy with it and my sensei, but my sensei got into a fight close to the dojo. I was in my car and saw the fray, at the time I did not know it was him. it was about 9:30 pm or so. I noticed that he was kicking and was doing some damage but the guy seemed to continue coming at him he tried to do a spin kick and missed, the guy threw a wild cross and made contact and it hurt sensei though no knock out the thug then rush him more as he saw that he hurt him, my sensei at that point LOST all composure trying to kick when he was to close, he tried punching him but no power, he then tried backing up so he could kick but the thug just was to close, they exchange some blows on each other. The light then turned green for me and I crossed the street at that point I saw that it was my sensei. I pulled in to the parking lot, 2 guys stopped the fight as I got out of the car. I could see that my sensei was bewildered as I am sure I would have been also. I notice that he could not do any of the things he taught us. My sensei could kick strait up in the air, his sparing was GREAT, breaking boards, just a FAST guy but It looked like he did not know what to do in a REAL FIGHT. This had a very big and divesting physcalogical effect on me. I second guess everything I was taught , This is not to say that ???? would not work it is just not ready for a street fight I guess, I have since then, have gone to 7 different schools here in Canada and I could not find anything that approaches training for a real fight. Even my Sensei did not do any of our techniques in that fight very well. My sensei had a broken nose and a chip tooth the other guy I found out later had 3 broken ribs, which goes to show that my sensei had power on the kicks I saw him land but the guy still kept coming, so I looked at M.M.A. it was great but to much ground work and no weapons training. Then a friend of mine told me about Reality Martial Arts, I have heard the term before but never looked into it. I am moving to Houston with my family and I am excited about possible training with you. Although I am a bit tense about the training as it looks HARD!!! And the fighting you do is also HARD CORE compared to what I am use to. I also love the videos you have up. You keep it REAL and I have never seen that in a Martial Arts Dojo. I saw a student ask you what IF this and your answer was your OUT OF LUCK That is REAL LIFE TRAINING, Thank you sir for showing us the real side of fighting. In conclusion Sir, I will fill out your application to become a student of yours. Mr. Amarante Mr.& Mrs. Traylor Owner & Founders of D.G.C.F.S. System. Inside D.G.C.F.S .
