Badness on the Web #1

Part, clearly my favorite, of what one group of friends does involves finding bad footage (often of combative arts) and sharing. Thankfully sharing sites have democratized the production and display of lots of amateur footage, lots of it amazing, some, for not the right reasons.

A couple of important notes-

1) Just 'cause I think it is silly, doesn't mean jack. Most of what I do is ridiculous looking. That said, fraud is fraud, but more often than not for these, we'll be highlighting dangerous/stupid displays. Just because your video appears here doesn't mean that I would want to scrap, just that I don't wanna be you when I grow up, m'kay?

2) As both a student of this stuff and a videographer, there will have to be some choices made about aesthetics... sorry, just the way it is.

Here is a beaut-

'Grandmaster' Stefano Surace- a self-appointed 10th dan (degree black belt). Jujutsu can take many forms, from ethereal, fake looking, to pleasing rough and tumble... this isn't anywhere on that spectrum, just ugly. Brute force taking the place of finesse or technique? Seems an appropriate place to begin this part of our adventure. Without further ado, please enjoy this youtube link.
