Also as someone who also uses a lot of these techniques and knows how effective they are while also having been doubted for them, I just want to say i love your channel and thank you for your contributions to both my learning and martial arts as well as the community. I hope your channel gets more respect and attention in time. I would love to see you on a channel called martial arts journey. They do a self-defense challenge set up like a show, has a lot of acting and isnt always the most realistic but would be fun nonetheless and I feel like you'd do very well given your experience. not sure if it would be something you're interested in but I want to leave some comments and try to nominate you for next season. I know you're very interested in the arts as a whole and seeing them applied for self-defense or real world scenarios. If you're not familiar i recommend checking it out. But once again thank you and God bless!
Hi, and thanks for the kind words. I love the Martial Arts Journey show/channel. I'm also a fan of most related channels, such as The Karate Nerd and Icy Mike on Hard 2Hurt. I don't know how well I'd do on the show. I'm an average martial artist at best. Also, I'm 53 with bad knees and hip, so my competition days are behind me. I'm in a weird spot regarding my channel. I started it during COVID to help my agency Get training ideas out, but it's become a small-side hobby. Now that the pandemic is over, I sometimes get negative feedback from some of my department's bosses/powers/ "the man". This is funny because a "boss" asked me to "get creative" during the pandemic, which led me to start the channel. I follow all social media department guidelines, so they can't shut me down, but a few have suggested I stop.

I LOVE NIKYO !!!
I also love Nikyo but have used Sankyo more than other wrist locks on the street.
