"extracting" what is being reflected in a pic feels like something that should be doable in photoshop

For real.
I upped the contrast a little and it was just a floating iPhone.

Not a RFT, but for the NY'ers: I've got a good friend whose roommate is leaving the country for a few months starting June 15, so if you know anyone who's not a total disaster and needs to sublet a place in NYC this summer, PM me.

******* Roy Nelson


The guy is deceptively technical. Try that punch that he does. Rewind tape of it, and try to emulate that movement. It's common in Shaolin Kungfu, but it's not just your regular old haymaker, which is half hook. half cross. What Roy does has a much more different trajectory, and is really hard to block if you are not used to that weapon. It really is an opposite hand step in ridge hand strike, and it's probably easiest to practice that way, as a ridge hand strike. I was showing a friend yesterday, and it's been so long since I've practiced that technique that I couldn't get the mechanics right until I switched to ridge hand. It's a common way of board and brick breaking, because, as Roy has shown, it's a great way to naturally generate tons of power from your boday. Of course, I know a lot of Kung Fu practitioners (before I did anything else, my parents had me practicing Shaolin Kungfu starting from when I was 13 or so), and not a single one can just KTFO huge dudes with one punch pretty much at will...

Notice how small is the crook in Roy's arm, and the position of his body, in the picture below. The power comes from his entire body moving as he steps in the punch.
