Today in Poe's Law comes this cusp-of-the-90s video touting a "combat karate" course offered by John McSweeney. It appears to be the ultimate "grandpa slaps others and himself" self-defense video.
Here are his "Tiger Moves", as discovered and publicized by Found Footage Fest.
A DVD is available [Amazon]. Again, Poe's Law has illimitable dominion over all.
