Rape prevention is a serious topic and a noble endeavor but the guys in this video have pretty much no clue about it.
Many of the techniques are “street” techniques that simply assume someone is going to let you eye gouge them or hit them in the balls without doing anything–like they’ll just stand there and let you do it. To quote Daniel Cormier, “Do you think I’m just gonna sit there and let you kill me?”
Anyway, these guys are basically peddling martial arts snake oil–or snake excrement. That’s right, shitting and pissing yourself is among the techniques they advocate. They also suggest rubbing shit on your arms and on your face, a Martial Arts Fail of the Week first.
The knee-jerk reaction is “You know what? That’d probably work!” Well it might if you had the time to pull your pants down, shit into your hands, and then rub it on yourself. If somebody suddenly jumps you, it’s hard to do all that. You can shit yourself, though.
These guys also claim burping and farting are legit techniques.
Oh, and “these guys” are Lou Casamassa’s Red Dragon Karate (what an original name). Lou Casamassa is a 10th degree black belt in karate and the founder of the American Karate Kung Fu Federation. He claims to have used “Yankee ingenuity” to combine the 7 greatest martial arts into his Red Dragon Karate style. Ugh.
Funnily enough, his son–Chris Casamassa–was actually Scorpion in the first Mortal Kombat movie. You know what else he was in? WMAC MASTERS! His nickname was “Red Dragon,” no doubt an homage to his father’s style. Remember WMAC Masters?
A shame Casamassa didn’t smear shit all over himself on the show. That would’ve driven ratings through the fucking roof. The ENTIRE FIRST SEASON of the show is on YouTube. We highly suggest you watch it because it’s incredibly terrible–so terrible it’s great.
By the way, thanks to Josh S. for sending us this week’s video.
