[edit] PFS Video link

Ordinarily I'd consider a link like that spam, but: He is no longer associated with what was his own company and has in fact called for a boycott of it, and he is very well-known for making and marketing videos (see the NY Times article, for example). So, I've put it back in. I won't be offended if someone else removes it. JJL 13:08, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

How about an inline reference to the New York Times article instead. Let me know what you think. I'd also remove the external link to PFS since there is already an internal link.Peter Rehse 01:25, 22 December 2006 (UTC) Where on his home page is the boycott?? to see video it goes right to PFS Video- is he boycotting or not?! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.239.216.166 (talk) 21:15, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wordy Paliva

What does this mean?

"Vunak purports that the outcome of combat is determined by range." That doesn't make any sense! The range is determined by the fighters themselves, not the other way around. In other words, the range doesn't determine the fight; a boxer and a grappler use different ranges to achieve the same goal. Range is a critical aspect of combat but not a determinant of it. I think his concept may have been misunderstood here. Could the writer of the article say where this quote came from? Philosopher2king (talk) 22:18, 18 May 2008 (UTC)philosopher2king 5/18/08

I think it must refer to controlling range and being able to move between ranges, both of which are emphasized in his system, which focuses on getting into the clinch. I'll see if I can dig up a specific cite from one of his books. JJL (talk) 13:30, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
