    He was acting defensively IMO. If you have any martial arts training you can see he is reactive not proactive. If in the eyes of the law that constitutes physical resistance then so be it. I know in practical terms it basically means what you say – after all its the word of the arresting officers against the suspect. I can understand how a cop would write him down as being resistant. But IMO, standing your ground against an unreasonable request is justified. The cops then have the option to escalate the situation or address the request. IME, they usually go for the former, it’s an easy victory. I’m not a cop hater, I have family members who are cops. But they know full well how to turn any situation to their advantage – be it physically, technically, or legally. And they do it every day, they all know what to do and how to write the reports. Maybe they want to be jerks, maybe they had a bad day and are short tempered, or maybe they just cant be bothered. They’re not robots. We didn’t see *why* the police were talking to him, so it’s hard to judge if they overstepped their boundaries. My conclusion is they did, but I’m happy to have that changed. My suspicion is that as this happened in the market square in Helsinki – and that this guy was an Estonian with bad Finnish – and selling out of a van – that this guy was being a bit opportunistic. He might have got the ferry over for the day and was selling without a permit, or he might not have paid duties, or taxes. If he got the ‘shrooms from Estonia – he likely got them for a fraction of the price his Finnish competitors got them for. So I wouldn’t be surprised if he rocked up in his van and pissed off some of the established market traders. Then there is the Estonian angle. Estonia are quite recent members of the EU. In blunt terms they are the poor relations. They don’t get as much respect as they deserve. These new countries are legally equals, and they want to be treated as such – not just as a source of cheap labour. They were promised all kinds of things and the reality hasnt quite delivered anything more than a huge recession. So they’re a bit pissed about that, we promised them free trade and free access – no passports or duties etc. But there are still hoops to be jumped, the cards aren’t stacked absolutely fairly. And it is 100% true that I as an Irishman can (in limited situations) demand and receive an Irish (or English) speaking translator in Finland, Estonia, France, Poland, Portugal, anywhere in the EU. Obv this holds true for all official languages (23 of these lol) within the EU. I can totally understand why this guy lost his cool. It’s always a losing tactic, but sometimes you have lost before you’ve begun.

    All they have to do is ban the ground and pound so real skill is required to win .I believe that will eventually happen because people will get bored with it .Why pay to watch something you can see for free any saturday night at the local bucket of blood.

    Seen altogether to many guys trying to apply an arm bar that is not going to work because of incorrect body posistion.Sad part is they dont know they are doing it wrong so the other guy escapes.Plus guys not taking advantage of their opponents bad posistion and it's obvious one doesn't know he is in a bad posistion and the other guy doesn't know how to capitilize on it.

    A guy with a black belt in striking arts and a black belt in grappling arts I would call a mixed martial artist but a guy who knows apparently a little about this and a little about that and a little about another thing knows just that very little .

    Take out the ground and pound and the combatants skills will have to increase in order to win and some serious martial artists may get into it.

    the 1st move is mind control over your body…

  20. It is a martial art and its practice has the side benefit of gaining health and wekll being from the practice. The flow of chi is tai chi or what in english is called ultimate power. The Student of Tai Chi Chuan aka ultimate energy boxing is able to use the ultimate power for martial arts and for health and well being as, I think, The source of the power is the same for both applications. Yes, all human movement is not encompassed in Tai Chi Chuan but is encompassed in Tai Chi. You are correct. Thanks. I some times get carried away.
