Rallarsving Brazil

[Ashura]

Rallarsving is a swedish programm which looks like Human weapon, Fight quest and so on. The two guys Andreas and Musse are martial arts practioners traveling all around the world to meet with different martial arts and martial artists. Andreas is a Muay thai guy, while Musse is Shooto.

The clip is a short extract of their brazilian trip where they meet guys very, very skilled with amazing movements and flow. The clip is in swedish with some english.

Early on:
"They have such a great felling for this"
"It's like having four hands instead of two"

When he sits on the mat pointing at a guy:
"This guy is a world champion. When he started to compete, his matches went from 9 in the morning to 1 in the night"


.... This show went for 2 seasons. Very popular in MA circles. But Sweden is a very small country ....

[Ashura]

Actually, Sweden is not that small, at east by EU standards, only France and Spain are bigger but I do agree that they are not too many Swedes (less than 10 millions). As a country it is still bigger than Germany, Italy and United Kingdom.

The show was quite nice since a lot of guests were definetly great (Ernesto Hoost, Peter Aerts, Remy Bonjasky, Bas Rutten and many others) but sometimes a big boring also.

I like when Musse, who is far from being a beginner in the ground game, says that he has never ever been rolled out this way. The guys make that look so easy, very impressive stuff.

Bao, I see that your location is high up north, it seems that you understand the language, are you refering to Canada or Scandinavia? I spent myself several years in Göteborg.

Correct. The university town. 41470 students, not all of them are residing in Uppsala, but still approx one fifth of the population. It was a small, beautiful town when I grew up, and very friendly. It has changed a lot, not for the better. But I have lived in Stockholm as well and plan to live there again.

Sweden is going down......

We are probably going to get all nostalgic there, but I used to spend some summers in Sweden in the early 90´s and I really felt that Sweden was paradise then and it actually was. I still recall that we could leave the house without even sometimes locking the door or we could just let the bycicle on the streets, do what you had to and then come back and still find the bike right where it was. The situation since then has dramatically changed, when I call my friends in Göteborg, they tell me "you would not recognize the town anymore". Very sad.

Unfortuantaly, it is global, in my hometown of Parma (northern Italy), when I was a child/teenager, the crime rate was so low that being a policeman in the province was a blessing especially if compared with Milan (which was not that bad either). Today, getting attacked, mugged or harassed in the street or at even at home has become quite common.

Cześć Wiesiek,

There are still some Poles going up north to pick berries and the crazy stuff is that they are usually not getting lost in the forest.

Szacun Ashura,
Northern sun beams has incredible shamanic properties ...

I may only guess, how tolerant and open-minded Vikings may feel when meeting square-minded in excess

The population of my CITY is around 2.5 million.

So last night Gus Mueller started harassing me on Facebook about this statistic and accusing me of being a general liar about everything from how much I practice and my military service. I had to block him. He appears to be genuinely mentally ill.

He said someone on the board "outed" me for a liar concerning this statistic.

I apologise for going off topic here, but I have very small children and a career. If you have a question about anything I post or a personal problem with me, talk to me, either in a thread or a private message. It is entirely possible (for most of us) to be a mature and rational adult and disagree. I ask you kindly to not point obsessive lunatics in full retard mode at me and my family.

Depending on how you define the metro area, Austin either hit 2.1 million by December 2015 or will hit it by March 2017. A recent news program made the claim that we would surpass 2.5 million by the end of the year, and that is what I based my statement on.

If anybody has a problem with me or those numbers...
