If you are afraid of contact, working out, and feeling pain
Grappling is not for your soft ass
Wait, why?
Just being able to throw/land a proper punch puts you leagues ahead of the random person you might happen to get into a street fight with.
Things like a boxing clinch or trying to cover up without boxing gloves are more harmful than helpful, but much of boxing is pretty darn translatable.
Silat is pretty much what bare handed fighting is
I would never put a guy in a choke when in a fight. But then i would never try to choke them out.
That fat guy who killed a drunk mexican are being charged with murder.
If you look at it fat guy has him stretched out full back control with a deep choke and dude goes out. And fat guy keeps choke on.
That is not heat of the moment or adrenaline if you roll you know when you have control. Dude could have just maintained back control and saddled up
But he chose to suffocate drunk dude because
Two drunk noobs. Mexican guy is verbally tapping and fat guy wonāt let up choke
We got rednecks saying itās illegal to record trying to block the murder occurring.
This is the shit we hate in bjj. Position over submission. Fat dude did not have to choke him
What about his wife, the sheriff who just stood by and watched?
I donāt get her charge, she tried cpr drunk guy when he became unresponsive
Like donāt ever fight humans are fragile and you donāt want to pick up charges
It just dawned on me where this kid got this quote from after 30 years. In like 1987 some kid wanted to fight me and this other kid said sweep the legā¦ I only half listened to him. After 30 years I know now from what movie he got that fromā¦
I think the outrage stems from the fact that she didnāt stop him, when she should have seen a potentially lethal scenario right in front of her. She should have been the one restraining the dude, not her husband.
Like, I get her husband is a meathead, but sheās the trained one, she should have known better.
I have always wanted to take up something but just never knew what. Any practical martial art works really. I think taekwondo has been the most interesting to me as far as what I should try. I am highly interested in increasing leg flexibility to.
For those interested The Bruce Lee Foundation just uploaded some (mostly unseen) footage of a 27 year old Bruce Lee performing a martial arts demo at Long Beach Internationals in 1967.
if I can see how your posture is, footwork, reaction timing, set ups, I could give you better advice. But you donāt need to, just do more shadow boxing with a focus on situations youāve been in during sparring. think how you can speed up your reaction, set up combinations and control of distance. if you find your rhythmic movement you should have a firm control of all these. Rhythm dictates your movement fluctuations, itās so important
I was thinking about this. If Iām going to a BJJ gym, I want to spend 95+% of my time learning technique or grappling. I can do stamina and strength on my own time. Shrimping and sprawls yes, but not the pull ups and stuff like that.
Still though, lol.
But back to my point, which I think may be countered by this point:
Practicing while temporarily fatigued has benefits and should be done at least once a week, I would think.
I guess itās just a balance then. Dunno if thereās anything more to say.
I always use the warm up to do these goals:
Build conditioning
Build strength
Build muscle memory
Build reflexes
It is geared towards building movement, balance, dexterity, explosiveness, and toughness
The drills we start with also go with this
Getting a bunch of dudes worked up, not beat up is the goal.
Like if you are dead at warm up how are you in a tournament 3 minutes deep with 7 to go. Are you going to have that breathing, and explosiveness in the next match? How about in the field? How are you going to last long enough to get out of there absorbing the least amount of damage?
Now the bridging, stretching, and other things i got from my tkd coaches? That is just torture that gives you that extra.
Neck and shoulder bridging. More bjj guys need this
Greatest of all time right there. If he were still alive then he would be 77 todayā¦
If I specifically have complaints, it could be under the conditioning and strength warm ups.
My argument is I can do that on my own time.
shrug
Are you that fuckhead who misses about 5-10 minutes and rolls in at the very end of the warm up?
You fucker thatās why you would do 30 burpees and 100 squats before joining the class
Depending on the level. You should be training people to apply as much explosiveness as possible even when theyāre dead tired. Its hard to teach energy management and control.
You want fighters to get into the habit of managing their energy efficiently and effectively. Especially when theyāre tired. And apply it when theyāre striking or going for a takedown, or attacking for a point etc.
Any good tournament fighters learn this, and its often what separates average fighters/players from good ones. Its as me and my competitive coaches joke around about during tournaments: Winning is tiring. It means you play more matches. Thats the difference between a winner and a loser.
is this confirmed legitā¦im super confused why they got so much gear on. no one had fuckin headgear really in the 70s-80ās. it was only late 80s/90s they started wearing gear.
So, what do you guys do when overstretching ? I tried one of Jake maceās exercise - this one:
The problem is, I tried to raise my kick too high, and I felt pain in the left leg (i think it is the inner tigh ?). I pushed forward and kept theleg there and then went forward with my training.
Now, at certain moves, I feel some pain in the left leg (the inner thigh). I rested for 3 days this weekend, and today I trained again - I could train well, threw some nice mawashi geris, but I felt a bit of pain when doing a side kick with my right foot.
The hardest pain I feel is when Iām trying to stretch into this:
I used to bend forward fairly well, but I canāt do it since it hurts. After the session training Iām also feeling some soreness in the muscle.
So, what do you guys do when overstreched ? should I rest for a couple of more days ? only do some light training ? maybe see a doctor ? I heard there are some anti inflamatory gel I could use but Iām not sure.
