What Is Great Extremes Boxing?
According to the great Wikipedia.org, Taijiquan
literally translates as supreme ultimate fist, boundless fist, or great extremes boxing….
Great. Let’s Taijquan like that.
Don’t bother with sloppy pushing-hands or pathetic, big and round, backward-stepping applications. It’s important to train in a martial art, that, right from the beginning, gives you immediate self-defense benefits. Right from the beginning folks….right away, right now….not in twenty years. Many Yang Tai Chi Stylists that I know in Salt Lake City (except me and folks who work with me) give you something unrelated to that literal translation.
Many proclaim health benefits or healing or pretend self-defense. Often, they’ll lace their proclamation with in twenty years (or more). Don’t do that. Please. Even if it might be true: are you willing to bet 20 years of your life on it? And—if you suspect, even just a little, that it’s not true, then how much convincing talk-talk-talk does the instructor do to convince his students? Salt Lake City is riddled with these teachers. But I digress. I repeat this topic because I remain pissed that there are so many people who do this crap. I’m tempted to give you a list of instructors who do this. But not here. Ask me later.
I tend to write hysterically about the needs for self-defense but, in real life, I tend to be realistic. To be realistic, I temper training to produce results, not fear-reactivity and to produce toughness, not weakness. That’s also a topic for ask-me-later.
Here, I want to show you why, not what. I offer some reasons, even if outlandish, that you should do a martial art—real, hardy, ass-kicking, head-slamming martial art, like Great Extremes Boxing. But I don’t care what kind; I want you to own the capacity to defend yourself, or me and my family, if I need your help. It must be a grisly, terrifying, vicious, and violent martial art. Avoid Tai Chi, unless you do it with me or other qualified Great Extremes Boxing instructors.

Great article! That 1st video..oh man that’d be funny. The 2nd video..well thats messed up that any one can be (and are) put in camps like that. and the 3rd video just amazes me that they can have all those things left out of documents that are being presented to our “decission makers” and they still expect them to vote on it.
Mike,
Please note the graphic in the lower right corner of the 3rd video! It’s Onion-News. While the video may be exaggerating, it is based on factual documents. TowardFreedom.com offers some specific, bill related information.
Steve,
Thanks for the comment over on my blog. Also, I wanted to let you know I posted up your link today.
Great videos btw - very much worth watching.
The first video made me laugh out loud! What a great move, and quick!
The Onion vid was great! Is there a news source that explains the reality of the mentality of the Bush years than this vid?
Ikigai, Good to hear from you. Thanks for the link and the look at the shows.
Jeff,This link to TowardFreedom.com offers a number of cites and sources for real, live martial-law threats by the Bush Administration. Well, that’s what the words say. I never met them.
Sweet! Ok, here is my take on these films and why I need to learn self-defense, NOW!
The first movie is just awesome! The rest tend to make you think about everyday life and how we are getting screwed over by the government. Yes, the third movie is from the-onion, but that in itself drives the point more home than watching the actually footage of bills being passed.
I love the-onion network for their quick wit and wonderful comedy about real world things and about not-so-real world things that they make up to amuse us so we can get through another day of work.
In my opinion, the government is all a big conspiracy racket that has molded itself over time to draw further and further away from the constitution and our bill of rights.
Why do I need self-defense? For one, when this recession gets worse and worse, I want to be able to fight my way into the grocery store and get me some chocolate milk before it’s all gone. Seriously though, everyday there could be a calling to have to use self-defense; either for yourself or a loved one or maybe just a stranger on a train or bus that is getting bugged, threatened or bullied by someone else. I work at a local community college so I run into a lot of weird individuals that walk the halls. There is always a chance that I might have to defend myself, a faculty member, a student or another staff before the highway patrol shows up. There have been fights. There have been suicides. There have been physical assaults on teachers. You never know what card life will deal you, we just have to be prepared.
We can be the protectors of this great land!
Great points on preparation, Steven P! As you know, the physical development of skills causes mental, emotional, spiritual developments too…or, at least, sets the stage for them. So sometimes just having enough guts to approach a conflict as if you will intervene is intervetion enough!
We can be the protectors.
