…I knew that Tai Chi guy was fake just by looking at his guard.
Ran the warm up today and ruined everyone
Ran through every kind of warm up from shrimps, bear crawls, handwalk pushups, 50 hindu squats, 50 jumping jacks, 30 burpees, 30 hindu pushups, reverse shrimping, tumbling, break fals with a frame get ups and sprawls, not to mention the triangles, hip shifts, and tons of running and sprinting
It is fun ruining people who are “in shape”
The best part is running drills on empty.
Then we rolled for 30 minutes
It is really fun to be a taskmaster in bjj
I’ve recently been running the warm ups for the starter group and I always do this to. Personally, I’m a nice guy… but when its time to do Kendo its time for business. I love crushing people’s ideas that theyre strong and in shape lol.
Like it is the best way to know if this guy will actually have it in him to learn and be better
Because the warm up prepares you and gets you better
I go easy when i see the middle aged
But when it’s a bunch of 20-30 somethings i had to be a bastard. And i am big right now so seeing these guys struggle is so great
In 2 weeks I will have my first exam in karate for the yellow belt. I’m pretty excited, though I have to train more. The physical test is quite challenging.
Good luck man. Im going for my Shodan next month as well. As someone who’s done lots of tests, my advice to you is trust in your training. You wont be any different before or after you get your yellow belt :P. So trust in your training to pull you through.
Just for my knowledge, who all in here practices/trains in karate regardless of the syle?
“why are you talking like that?” HAHAHA
“Gad damn is this poison ivy??”
Man, I remember when I was a kid when all the black kids in the neighborhood wanted to be Bruce Leeroy. We use to be outside “doing” kung-fu and shit. Had other kids talking about they were taking up kung-fu or karate but when a fight happened they were doing the stuff they seen from the movies and getting the snot beat out of them. Good ol’ days! :lol:
I remember my first fight in junior high i threw one back kick and dude just cried
I ran away and never got in trouble
Back then kids kept their mouths shut
I actually agreed with this without thinking.
IMO Dutch style has downgraded the technicality in professional Thai boxing. It relies heavily on using strength and conditioning to plough its way through to victory. We train Dutch style for fights, it simplifies the fight by distributing power 50% legs 50% hands. traditional is 30% hands 70% legs
Its BETTER to win but its definitely not more technical, the whole purpose of it is to simplify; less thinking
Not really, dutch also have better hands than thai.
True muay thai is fucking nutty and boring. Kickboxing fights are mostly about guys wanting to end it.
Muay Thai style is grilled with betting. This is why when foreigners go there they always get less money. They don’t think of the betting lines.
Its perceived as better hands because they’re using it to hurt rather than to assist their kicking, Thai fights allocate more points from contacting with kicks. All the beautiful mind games of Thai fights are filtered out from Dutch style, the ONLY reason they allowed it is because the west are more interested in boxing and white fighters are more familiar to boxing than Thai fighting. More west attention = MORE MONEY
Thai traditional is HIGHLY technical and has so many beautiful mind games, too bad the west can’t perceive it the way its supposed to be.
Didn’t traditional Thai basically have only two punches, though?
He is trying to discredit dutch style.
The problems with muay thai are hands and defense.
Muay Thai fights in thailand again are based on establishing betting lines. Buakaw got wrecked in k-1 10 years ago because he did not get a clinch and the ruleset changes mindset
Buakaw in muay thai fights in the present day us is way different from his thai fights. In the us he has put away so many in the first round.
Again with thai the intricacies are all about establishing betting lines even during wbc title fights.
Clinch work, trips, knees, elbows. Awesome. I love seeing guys like dekkers eat knees. But that is me.
I love the ruleset for glory.
I don’t think you understand what I’m saying. I prefer boxing head movement when I’m actually fighting, we even train Dutch style for ring fighting. But you’re underestimating thai boxings technicality, its beautiful to watch if you allow yourself to feel their game. Dutch style gets results but it doesn’t have that same jazzy flow like thai style. Who gives a fuck about dudes eating attacks when you can enjoy a human chess match
Okay, i have been to thailand and watched muay thai
The environment is just like kickboxer with more ladyboys
School tournament tomorrow. Gonna snap someone’s shit in sparring (modified Sanda - no head kicks though).
