I know some of y’all heard about Idris doing this.
Well he fucked lucy liu and probably gets lots of good ass
Him doing some kickboxing is crazy considering he is getting work and he is not on some downfall like mickey rourke
Just because you train within a certain rule set, it doesn’t mean you could not defend yourself without it. Fighting, just like anything else, comes down to experience/know how.
BJJ is the next martial art that is going to be placed in the TMA category. MMA has blown up enough to where TMA gyms/schools have to acknowledge it. It is easier than ever to actually test your skills in the local scene. Instructors can no longer rely on ridiculous ass hypothetical scenarios to explain how a technique could work. Even when I was doing Kenpo as a kid, our instructor went out of his way to introduce what he called “ground fighting” techniques. Our sparring looked more like boxing rounds.
MMA is imperfect, but so far it has been good at showing us effective technique. We aren’t going to see fights to the death anytime soon on PPV. For now, it is the best thing we have since blood sport lol.
Oh he has a school and students now? My god lol
You want to end people? Get a concealed carry permit or become a cop
Or join the military they will teach many ways to kill somebody
That’s because Kenpo is mostly hands, and hand fighting always looks like boxing in practice.
I mean, people get taught any kind of front hand punch, a rear hand punch, some kind of uppercut, and expect it to look unique?
Yeah that is my point. You come at anyone at my gym (MMA) with circular hand motions during sparring you will get clapped. The general rules of MMA make everyone fight in the most effective way possible…usually.
What circular hand motions?
Many of the Kung Fu blocks that I learned were the circular, sweeping hand motion(think water) into side hammer first. Even in Jeet Kun Do, Bruce Lee uses some of them. They’re very contrary to the other very straight block strikes you see in Wing Chun.
jeet kune do changed every week while bruce was around. jeet kune do has still been evolving since then.
if you’re talking about Jun Fan jkd then yeah that’s pretty much accepted to be kept traditional but that type of fighting is for bare fisted street fighting/fencing
the concepts type has just become a philosophy that keeps in mind the reality of fighting, research of martial arts while adhering to the individuals personal attributes.
I mean Conor Mcgregor comes from Straight Blast Gym which started from JKD lineage, the dude even quotes bruce lee. so I don’t know why some of you second guess JKD
Gonna need examples, since I do a lot of circular movements in Choy Lay Fut.
But like this, though?
It’s called poon kiu in some Southern styles. It’s just a parry. Smashing blocks are mostly a Japanese kind of thing, and they’re stupid.
I think they’re talking about circular parry for punches. which is insane
JKD was about ultimate efficiency, if you saw any circular punching parries from bruce lee it must have been in one of his early movies 
(which wanted to promote chinese tradition)
Conor has used the inside parry a bit, but I get what you’re saying, yeah. Even though you can easily get your arm to connect, the punch isn’t going to be out there long enough. Slip, get off line, or just nudge the punch off target with your lead arm.
A lot of those circular motions are also used to just knock the guard away rather than parry something, similar to how you see some people pull their opponent in by hooking onto the elbow.
To be fair, that is a very common boxing tool. I don’t know what we’re attributing that technique to. Personally thats not what I’m talking about. I’m talking a lot more about those traditional punch and kick parry’s with open hand circular motion.
It’s a common tool in most striking arts. I’m not attributing it to anything.
Again, define “traditional punch and kick parries”. I train a lot circular moves, so I actually don’t know which kind of moves you’re referring to.
Like, do you have a YT clip of someone practicing them?
Smashing blocks? Are you talking about strikes to the arms? Shit those are hilarious.
Yeah, your typical “use your block as a strike” kinda thing. That’s the whole point of many blocks in Karate or Taekwon-Do. Teaching people to smash away front kicks with their lower forearm and shit. Better yet the retards who tell you to block roundhouses that way.
That kind of shit worked back when people wore armor and moved kinda slow, and TKD just took it from Karate without really thinking things through.
Why do you think I have a good chance at winning UFC matches and such just like Tim Kennedy and such
Lol yeah you shouldn’t be trying to use that kind of shit on axe kicks, fuck around and get your whole faced caved in.
Axe kicks in themselves are pretty stupid.
Depends on your entry with the axe kick really. I mean we’ve seen crescent kicks ko people
