This is a slightly more official writeup of an old post and video in our fourm and a video I made for one of the original members (who lost his V-card last summer with some help from us).

This is an extensive topic and I won't even attempt to cover it all on this page.

In the future- we will certainly discuss how to make friends. Unfortunately, the blog can only move so fast if we are going to give you quality information, so some subjects are less of a priority. I want to give you what I got, it will help some guys in the meantime. Believe me, my discussions on college and making cool friends will be bomb. The best stuff on the Internet like most of other stuff.

As mentioned in "About Good Looking Loser," I've lived in 9 different cities for periods of at least 6 months. I'd also spent some summers (usually periods of ~3 months) in a few different cities too. I have lived in all 4 corners of the United States.

I don't know much about Martial Arts but thankfully I do know some guys that do.

Not only do they "know" about it, they ACTUALLY fight. (I'm big on people talking from experience and not the eBook they read, can you tell?)

One such guy is a guy is Lubomyr, I've known him since high school.

Updated September 2014 -

We currently recommend the newer Bathmate models over the Penomet.

See here for more information -

Please look into one of those models (x30, x40 or Xtreme) if you decide to buy a pump.

So there it is.

Those are the martial arts that are bullshit, and those that are not.

If I had to give you my top choices on what martial arts to learn if you actually wanted to fight, they would be Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

In Part I and II we took a look at-

Tae Kwon Do/Karate/Tang Soo Do/Suk Mai Wang* [Bullshit]

Here’s where I’m gonna catch flack from guys saying, “No man, you’re wrong!

At Flaming Cobra Fist Dojo where I trained there were a bunch of legit dudes who would beat your ass.

There are two things above all else that you never do as a martial artist. You don’t use your skills to prey on people……… And you don’t talk shit about Bruce Lee. Don’t worry. I’m not gonna hate on Bruce or Jeet Kune Do. This is just a couple criticisms that I have with the way Jeet Kune Do is taught.

First of all for those of you who don’t know, Jeet Kune Do isn’t a style, it’s more of a philosophy on combat that was “created” by martial artist and film icon Bruce Lee. As Bruce practiced it, it was heavily influenced by Wing Chun and western Boxing, and it took much of its footwork from fencing. The main principle of Jeet Kune Do is to use whatever is effective no matter where if comes from and discard everything else. So biting a guys finger off is allowed, eye gouging is encouraged, and today shooting someone in the face is widely accepted as a legitimate Jeet Kune Do technique. Sounds pretty legit right? Well, yes and no. And here’s where it gets complicated. The problem isn’t really with Bruce Lee’s philosophy of effectiveness above all else, it’s with the people who have taken over his legacy. That’s right. The problem with this “style” is that it’s not a style; therefore anyone can claim they teach JKD. This leads to a lot of shitty instructors.

Bruce Lee himself was an amazing martial artist. Some people think he was just an actor that couldn’t really fight, but in reality he was probably one of the greatest fighters of all time. Many people don’t realize that he was actually an amateur boxer with a 14-0 record. Of those fourteen fights, all of them were first round knockouts except for two. Of those two, one was a second round knockout and the other was a third round knockout. That’s a fucking insane record for anyone. This is amateur boxing we’re talking about. The one in which people wear headgear specifically to protect them from getting knocked out! Every single person he fought he knocked out. It was said that had Bruce gone professional, he would have been one of the top five boxers in the world. Bruce Lee was as legit as they come.

This comprehensive, well-written discussion was written by Ethan, a Good Looking Loser contributor. The original post was on this thread in our Martial Arts Forum. I encourage you to leave your questions, comments, praise or hate mail there.

This article doesn't necessarily represent the viewpoints of Chris (Good Looking Loser). I have no qualified view of Martial Arts, it's cool stuff that I know virtually nothing about. I carry a semi-automatic gun and/or knife, where legal and when appropriate. I did pick most of the images for this article though, some coming from one of my video games- Mortal Kombat.

Introduction By Ethan X

I’m going to start off by saying that I don’t mean for this post to disrespect anyone or anyone’s preferred martial arts style. What I do want to do is give a realistic, no bullshit look at martial arts. I see guys all the time asking what kind of martial art they should learn. Most of the time when guys are asking this question it is because they want to learn how to take on another guy and win in a fight, not because they want to learn discipline or respect. Guys want to have a sense of confidence knowing that they can take care of themselves if they ever got into an altercation. So while there are other aspects to martial arts that can be beneficial (learning discipline, getting fitter, etc) I’m primarily going to be judging the following martial arts on their ass kicking potential.

Whats happening Losers- (this email will be in your in-box, perhaps your spam box- it's posted online for the guys that don't have HTML in their email)

Hopefully summer is treating you well.

I like to shoot out an email every now and then if there's some stuff I feel a lot of people will enjoy/benefit from. Hopefully it will find you and not your spam box. I'm not quite a pro at this stuff.

We've added bunch of stuff (and in-field videos) that you'll probably like.

The links below are to some of the more popular stuff we've done recently (enjoy)-

As a "self-improvement guru" (that's what I told the IRS I am), I'm always supposed encourage guys to be the best they can be (MAX OUT).

Reach for the stars.

Big dream.

Be your very best self.

While that is certainly ideal, one of my slight knocks on just about all self-improvement communities is that it's often slightly exaggerated just how good you need to be.

This video comes the day after I lost (incorrectly recorded- camera wasn't focused on the girl) some of the best footage ever of taking a girl to my car after she initially said "No."

I was so Goddamn angry, you have no idea.

Jersey Girls Love Good Looking Losers

It's not easy to shoot a video at night.

You can't have a camera with a huge light on it and the background noise can be a bitch. We enhanced (increased the volume) the voice of the girl, she's not quite as annoying as she sounds. (if you see a video with perfect video and audio, it was probably shot by a professional camera crew and chances are- the girl notices/knows that there's a 5 or 6 person camera crew with huge equipment following her around. Just a hunch, maybe I'm wrong.)
