Hammerlock works well when standing. But usually only for a moment to set something else up. But any standing throws would please the type of Martial Arts that he’s looking for I think.
Real Aikido is just Jiu-jitsu in the end, plus weapons. It’s not as soft as people make it out to be and it’s the reason Tenshin Aikido (Steven Seagal’s school) exists.
I say “real”, because there seems to be a split in the art about how to train.
In the end though, Seagal had to train full-time to get good. Stay away from it anyway.
A big part of Aikido is the philosophy. I think there is a big difference in what you describe as ‘real’ aikido vs what i think you’re referring to which is ‘practical’ aikido.
Its more a Do than a lot of other martial arts. The art of peace and all that. I think at the core though ‘real’ aikido is still VERY traditional.
It’s meant to be a way or lifestyle. It was often taught to women and considered a women’s martial art.
Pretty much. The reason why I was thinking of japanese ju jitsu is because at least in theory it seems the most complete: it has strikes, throws, locks, everything. BJJ on the other hand doesn’t allow striking and it is a bit too focused on ground fighting for my taste.
Why I was talking about wrist locks:
at least in theory this seems very useful, being able to control much larger opponents. But indeed these are non resisting opponents. I will take a look at some judo schools. We have plenty of them in my city.
lmfao stop scaring him. dab00g goes to the fuckin cali doomsday academy.
grappling isnt that bad if you have the right school and coaches. sure we all catch injuries but honestly out of all the fuckin crazy ass things ive done bjj is prob my least amount of injuries.
Are you fucking kidding me of course i have had my head dribbled like a basketball i think i told this story in the mma thread
The good thing about my gym is that we let people of all different levels roll. Sometimes you get an overly aggessive new guy.
So i start with him and i get on bottom with close guard. This dude is new, but is one of those muscled up black guys who has extra aggression.
The method he uses to break my guard is not the one we were practicing where you put your elbows into the thighs then step back with one foot driving the other knee into the center line nope
He cradled my head lifted me up a hit and kept slamming it against the floor
I am sure you guys have seen that in ufc before. Well dude does it five times and i am dazed probably concussed and he still hasn’t broken my guard and then i sweep because he is breathing and sweating and i am just out of it
One of the brown belts saw this got that dude in the next round and out he went. Like he refused to tap like that meant anything and got slept. He woke up. Got his stuff and left then never came back. This dude was probably about 6’3 and 225 and he got merc’d by the 5’2 flyweight
That’s a danger here.
Also here in SoCal we have guys from division 1 and 2 wrestling, guys who compete in judo at the world games, and all those top grappling tournament teams are from here so you got a bunch of strong elite guys, mixed with super dudebros who try to act tough in the fact they saw dudes on a ufc or bellator and want to “impress” with their toughness
But yeah i sat out the rest of that week, but i still came in to do workouts. The dude disappeared. Fucker didn’t even apologize for treating my head like a 2002 nike commercial
its sketchier in grappling for you as the experienced one. especially if their spazzy…because 1. you dont want them to hurt themselves doin something bad and 2. you dont wanna get hurt. they are so eager to work they tend to go all out. as long as you can control captain spazzy in the first 3-4 min…he’ll most likely gas and you can work a real game and teach them as well.
the scariest moments are when they snatch a sub and wanna go full crank. or if they snatch a rnc and their oppoents on his knees and instead of goin to the side they go straight backwards. those are prob the most dangerous positions for a new guy.
The moment you go and the guy tries to prove himself you got to make that transition.
For me i like to tie the guy up and scramble and make them crazy when they spaz out and throw elbows i just settle in top side control and just flatten them. It’s funny when you go with a guy who gets pissed. You have to wrestle and make them work for 5 minutes.
Like just doing cradles and half nelson control, then when you take the back just leg ride and make the guy miserable
That is what i like to do to new people. You overwork them, and see what they have.
Well that’s how i was brought along.
I laugh at the
“Why are you so calm? Why are you not tired?” Comments. If you spar in anything and come in with anxiety you come in way stiff
Ugh, the worst is mma training and new dude throws that jon jones kick and goes head hunting during sparring like he thinks he’s chuck liddell when he looks more like shane mcmahon
But really just like in muay thai and boxing. You never try to hurt your training partner
When it comes to nogi, a lot of newbies and sometimes bullies come in.
When we spot the bully and put him through the ringer it is so fucking fun.
The problem with newbies is they come in all types either they are over eager dickheads or they are clueless old ladies (sometimes literally)
But with the muscled up bros that come in and “bro i used to fight in backyards”
Those guys, those guys are fucking great to humiliate
Trust me, guys sparring boxing with that body type and its their first time is the fucking worstttt. I know i just need to cover up for the first 30 seconds of bombs and scortched earth coming my way. But then after they will be gassed and i get to have fun for the next 3 rounds. Its the worst though when they try to get out of doing the 2nd and 3rd rounds… Like, mutherfucker you just tried to light me up and now youre tired and want to just quit?
I’ve been getting lazy with hitting the gym, so I’ve been thinking about picking up judo again. A bit of peer pressure to actually keep me in physical shape rather than my own inexistent sense of pride. Also, nothing helps with your sense of entitlement more than a giant sweaty man throwing you onto a mat for a couple of hours every week and placing his hands remarkably close to your dick.
