At Tim's homepage (
Shen Wu) there should be a video of him throwing and mounting a National Judo champion using a Ba Gua throw. He has won his division at the Copa Pacifica something like 7 times in a row, and its a really big tourney!
Tim and interaction with the people at this and a number of other forums have greatly contributed to my love and appreciation for MMA, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and realistic training methods.
I hope to someday wield a fraction of the throwing and Jiu Jitsu skill of Tim Cartmell. He is a true inspiration to all of us who have known that the Chinese arts have real martial value, they simply lack an abundance of people willing to test their skills.
I highly recommend Tim's Standing Grappling DVD, its a very effective and practical combination of leverage based self defense techniques from Ba Gua, Xingyiquan, Taijiquan, and Chin Na along with BJJ. The DVD covers reactions and follow-ups/Counters to the most common holds seen in street fights. Since the techniques are leverage-based they can be practiced at speed under stressful conditions to simulate a real attack and cultivate effective responses. Its quality stuff.
