Brings back fond memories of being hurt & payback.

Here's something I found a long time a go on the net.  This guy is right on the money.

The point that you need the “sport grappling” (i.e. basic solid skills) to make the gouging and biting work is a very valid point. There’s sometimes an over reliance on “the dirt” and comments like, “in a real fight I’d just bite” fail to take into account that you still need solid grappling skills to make that happen (and that biting is a means to an end and not so much of a fight finisher in itself). For self-protection purposes, we don’t need to the skills to out grapple a grappler, but we do need a solid set of skills relevant to the environment and that “dirt alone” won’t do it. The clip captures the relevance to the environment and the need for solid skills quiet nicely.

All the best,

Couldn't agree with you more. 

P.S  I did some reasearch on the net about Carl Cestari.  He wasnt so crazy.   From what I read he had many students and was a great teacher and person.  He was very well loved and knew how to reach his students.
