I had heard that Clyman claimed that he could take a stomach punch from anyone and challenged Master Chang. Master Chang agreed to punch him and Clyman got ready to take a punch to the stomach and so Chang gave him that uppercut. Pretty darn funny.

If he was not guarding himself I would be disappointed if my uppercut didn't do any damage

Hahaha! Gary Clyman at his finest! Note the perverted pleasure of the bystanders in the background. ;) ;D


If that's water why is his wrist bent? You can get away with a bent wrist hitting soft body parts but run the risk of breaking your wrist when hitting hard part. Just structurally weak. :)

Water or not, it was a Chang "dont play smart with me" special. I hear the older one gets, the more inclined to do this to other people one becomes. :)
