Don't do online video but happily meet up for push hands or maybe a bit of MOQ if in the mood (takes a while to get going being the wrong side of 40).

Third time of asking now...

Maybe that's all he did or could do though - hit pads or bags.
Never saw him hit a moving target, or one that ever tried to hit back..
In fact he was one of those too deadly to spar guys wasn't he?
Excuse me if i'm not falling over myself to hug his damn nuts!
Erle talked it up a hell of a lot, but never put it on the line. Even had the temerity to challenge gracie jj from all accounts.
Despite his other faults the least we can say about Docherty is he took fights. Rather than hide behind the too deadly BS
Even if at the time his tai chi experience wasn't all that great.
Having said that i can see that Montague was "a fighter" in the traditional sense anyway.
I can see him being a tough guy. But honestly, the worlds full of those kind of guys.
Tough and can hit hard..
I have not heard one account of anyone from his worlwide org. ever fighting with or for their TCC training.
It tells me something; what does that tell you..
His training would certainly set him apart from your average untrained person.
But in amongst trained fighters he would soon go from hero to zero, imo.
You can just know that by the way he and his group trained, as well as the stuff they trained..
Eli, really is a chip off the old block. No doubt about that.
