I like it personally, although the many different arts listed seems a bit dodgy

"Fight records" are for low level, sport fighters in a ring, where there are rules. In da streetz, there are no rules, therefore no fight records. Unless, you count the taxi cab drivers.
Hard to tell his skills in timing, setting traps, distance, position, etc., against a non-compliant opponent.
He’s a good dancer, though. He shows some grace, power, and speed in his dancing. I like the music, too.

Anyway, my own fight record is The Eye of the Tiger...or maybe the theme from Conan the Barbarian...

In martial arts if its not fight experience (ring, real or other) what other experience should we be looking for?
As for dky's talent - he's pretty pulic about how much mastery he has in the many videos that have been posted. A guy that dragonball should not be too afraid to show how he moves against someone with some skill that is looking to knock his god-like-eye-of-the-tiger-conan-power brains out.
Or did I misunderstand that his god given superpower is really self promotion?

I'm not discounting anyone, either. He only showed a demonstration, not how he trains. So, I don't know how he trains. I did not comment on whether I like or dislike his training.
It was a compliment disguised in a joke, however badly. DK Yoo has grace speed and power, in his technique.
His demonstration is like most demonstrations, showcasing technique, speed and power. I prefer to see demonstrations that also show skills in timing, setting traps, distance, or position, etc., against a non-compliant opponent. However, this is rare.
RobP2 wrote:The compliance / non-compliance thing can be an issue. How far do we go? If someone is being non-compliant for a video clip, am I justified in breaking his arm? Or him breaking my arm? You get into difficulties - a non-compliant student will still be flagged up as a student. A non-compliant stranger is generally a challenge or a fight.
Training is always training. So it's a tough one - I guess with non-compliance as it is generally accepted there is still an etiquette involved?

I don't think the God-given thing is his addition but could be wrong - again I guess you could ask him if it bothers you so much. Perhaps you misread - the EYOT / CTB thing, that was me, it was a small attempt at humour, sorry it went over your head
