My posts trace my over 55 years in the martial arts (both funny and serious), friendships with legendary martial artists (such as Bruce Lee), appearances on major network TV shows (like "That's Incredible!"), travels around the country and world as a competitor and national coach, and what I've learned about life in the process.

Val Mijailovic on Sweeping
Val Mijailovic, as you saw in the clip footage from the 70s that I posted yesterday, is a master of sweeps, including free-standing sweeps, where your opponent is not grabbed as they generally do in judo. Many karateka have tried to use judo sweeps in competition and on the street with limited results. A couple of years ago, Val produced a sweep dvd. I was one of the first to purchase a copy. (It's available through Martial Arts Masters magazine.) Here's a clip from his great dvd: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrBZIimnKls
