I saw Ken Shamrock at a grocery store in Miami once. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

I'm confused -- did this happen or did it not? It seems that this is a reference to some inside joke I'm not aware of based on replies in this thread.

haha! believe it or not I have heard of this movie too but I never saw it. That's actually the other thing I was wondering about; Sambo's impact on popular culture within Russia/Ex-Soviet Union, particularly on film since I used to be a pretty big film nerd when I was younger. I always kind of wondered whether they had a cinema martial arts craze that corresponded with our own here in America back in 70s-80s. I will definitely give this a watch later on when I got time. Thanks man

There is another MMA movie from the 90s that is based on a MMA manga. I think it takes place in baki universe.

In it they go to a sambo practice to learn chain submission and transition and throws.

Regarding the impact. Sambo was originally meant to be for the people. For protection of citizens and of course one the founders were accused of being Japanese spy and locked up and killed.

From there, sambo became more secretive and at the command of government and it was not meant to be shared . Ironically enough people started getting in to karate and other martial arts and the same folks that suppressed sambo got annoyed and they decided to promote the living shit out of sambo.

This was a bit ironic to say the least since they didn't want people to know sambo but then the idea of practicing a non USSR martial arts was seen as a bigger sin. From that point on, folks started experimenting with different moves and footwork.

Soviet boxing has similar footwork to taekwondo and in that time it was tang soo do which was known as karate. I believe they picked up moves from karate and incorporated into the their sporting culture of boxing and sambo.


Overall I would say that sambo is kind of like karate and kung fu in a sense of having sub styles and different origin points and different influence based on region. To conclude this, I once heard that judo revolves around human bodies adapting to technique while in sambo the techniques must adapt to human bodies. This results having room to pick and choose your moveset.

I now know that it's copy pasta but it was weird and oddly detailed.

Wrong!

That honor goes to judo gene lebell who was a true pioneer in America and together with gokor they already had a fight team but never got invited to the UFC.

Horion wanted know part of Gokor. Would have steamrolled Royce worse than Hughes

That doesn't sound right, I own every Baki-related mangas, movies and adaptations, and that doesn't ring a bell.

You might be thinking of the 2002 adaptation of the first arcs of Koukou Tekken-den Tough (Shootfighter Tekken/Tough), since the protagonist Kiichi Miyazawa , at one point, trains under Heizo Onikawa, who is based on Volk Han and teaches him Sambo combat submissions.


Speaking of manga, I've (very) often wondered who the guy from your previous avatar was, with the white hair? Now that you've changed it, I figured it was now or never...
Who was that guy?

 

[kumitechamp]

Wonder if Dana ever got the money?

 

[kumitechamp]

how does every WWF wrestler from the Attitude Era return back to WWE at least one time since the 90's except for Ken Shamrock? lol makes you wonder...

Very interesting question to ask. If WWE turns there back on you then that most likely means everybody and thing else has as well.

To be fair, Tito was terrified of fighting Ken at Heavyweight.

The name of the movie is garouden or something. I will post the scene if it's still up.

The guy in my avatar is named Ogata Isshinsai hence my username. He is a complicated character because he is bad but also good.

He trained in kung fu and jujitsu with two masters who become the mentor of the main character named kenichi. Ogata Isshinsai was originally meant to be the main disciple but he has a twisted side.

He is beyond obbessed with uncovering dangerous martial arts techniques. He uses his disciples as a test subject but oddly enough he is super upfront about it. So when his students do end up using these techniques, ogata studies the side effects and comes up with ways to refine and polish these moves so he himself can enjoy the benefits of a newer version and not suffer the side effects. Aside from that he has shown heroic side.



The guy in my avatar currently is the leader of the armed division and he is the most powerful antagonist in the series by far but he is not really the main boss but only the leader of the armed division who happens to be the strongest in the organization . He is based on miyamoto musashi. He serves as a distraction more than the master mind.

One if his followers is a guy name Michael Schtilvay who is far weaker but causes insane amount of damage and changed the direction of the story line despite being much weaker than the leader. Michael uses a scythe.

This is a question in 2021?

The guy is a low-IQ doofus with a phony ego compensating for low self-esteem. Respect as a fighter, complete ass-clown as a human being.

This might have been posted, but I saw this earlier today.

Vince McMahon wanted to fire Shamrock but Bret Hart talked him out of it.

http://stillrealtous.com/bret-hart-on-convincing-vince-mcmahon-not-to-fire-ken-shamrock/

At the very least, Bret Hart liked him.

"Right from the start I wanted to wrestle Ken." said Hart. "I would have loved to have worked with him. I got Ken in and trained him. I got Vader, Vader and Ken trained at my house, I had a gym set up at my house. You might remember it from Wrestling with Shadows? But I trained Ken there, I was the guy that brought him in and tried to get him to do the wrestling."

"He told me he broke his hand in the UFC, and he goes, “I can’t fight for a while.” So I said, “Why don’t you wrestle? Make some money doing wrestling? You’d be a big star if you did the wrestling.” And Ken used to be a wrestler before he did the UFC. It wasn’t that hard for him to go back to the pro wrestling stuff. I said “Rest your hand, mend up, heal and we’ll do wrestling stuff!” I would have loved to have worked with Ken, it just never happened."

He's always seemed like a nice enough guy to me we actually had a couple conversations over Facebook over the years. One of them was before the Conor McGregor Floyd Mayweather boxing match about Ken's kickboxing match he had in the 90s. And the difficulties going between sports.

 

[Sean Ryan]

I saw him in the airport. I double legged him but he reversed and beat me into a living death.

Hahaha that made me spit out my beer. Hahahaha

Not saying the man doesn't have some issues but that's some big talk coming from somebody not saying it to his face.
The man has supported his community for many decades at this point including programs to help keep teenagers off the streets and helping broken families. And that's not including all the things he and his adoptive brother Frank did with there stepfather before he died to help communities So maybe you shouldn't be so quick to judge him as a human being.
