Kalarippayattu

Crudelli is meant to be entertaining, and he probably succeeds there. His amazement with qi tricks and exaggerated reactions to common place MA could be for the benefit of the camera or more likely just show his experience level, which is greater than mine, but that's not relevant. Nice to see him getting a little discernment on this particular Kalari teacher considering how Crudelli seemed to swallow a lot of other stuff without chewing: dim mak, hard qigong, deadly voices, intimidating karate stare, etc.

Andy_S: good points

NIce find, Doc. Thanks.

I saw some good internal skill being applied in the first clip when the camera fixed on that lady drawing water.

Cool to see their tug-of-war over the stick, and that gang hauling on the beach. We do tug-of-war drills like that with sticks and ropes. We have a similar drill when we do bagwork where we fight over an 80lb heavybag - hilarious and exhausting.

DrRob,

The issue of courtesy, common politness and manners with mr crudelli when meeting other teachers or practitioners, while he was bouncing around the world , by the sounds of things you already heard correct. The things he said behind thier back though...oh my god...cheeky bastard

I think his actual MA back ground is highly questionable to say the least, secret grandmasters, special ceremonies and it goes on ...he is just a chancer who rips people off ...
