E.g., the twister coming from wrestling. Its the way he put it together in such a methodical fashion that is his big contribution, not creating new moves, yet its the latter that people always seem to focus on (sounds like Soneca certainly does). <BR/><BR/>While I'm not entirely convinced of Bravo's stuff (in terms of it being too advanced for me, rather than the techniques themselves being 'bad'), he definitely knows how to market. Far less annoying than Lloyd Irvin's style (another good grappler better known for business sense).slideyfoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05374174757753962274noreply@blogger.com
