Very vague, what country, what MA style. What kind of living conditions are you use too, do you have money (a rich daddy, live'n aint cheap) how long can you leave etc.?

From his video section:

"Any injuries resulted from trying these moves means you're a bad-ass who's got balls.
I will take no responsibility for your actions but should you get seriously hurt, I would appreciate you sending in a picture or some footage."

That's a pretty asinine statement, as far as disclaimers go.

That site is pretty overbearing. I think the guy's got just a bit of a superiority complex, it definitely seems like he's overcompensating for something. There's no need for a genuinely good martial artist to self promote to that extent which makes me question the validity of his statements.

maybe you'll recognize that. He's a performer first and a martial artist second. I just think it's pretty amazing that he can incorporate martial arts into his stunts, and at the same time promote MA with such vigor. He's pretty well known world wide 5th most watched video in the world.

Also i was looking for a place similar to south coast martial arts whereas you live inside the facility and it's a collective of ppl that train and contribute. any country or style for now.
