I will add that this is one reason you should not re-use the same passwords for different sites. There isn’t any direct profit for a scammer to...
That’s just societal programming. Twirling stuff is fun, whether it’s majorette batons or antique weapons. When I was a kid, my little sister had...
I’d agree with C.B. Jones that you need to make a distinction on your site between weapon training you are offering for combatives vs performance...
I would be very interested to see what sort of Judo you would consider to not consist of grappling.
I'd put it a little differently: If you only practice grappling via solo kata (as opposed to the 2 person kata seen in traditional Japanese...
I'll have to disagree with you on that. Grappling is grappling: grabbing, pushing, pulling, twisting, holding, lifting, off-balancing, sweeping,...
Here's a clip with some better examples of good head movement in MMA. [MEDIA]
Rhonda's striking would have been better if she did have head movement. Unfortunately she had a coach who was blowing smoke up her *** about how...
I'd call it a matter of stylistic tradeoffs vs "errors." You are correct that if you completely eschew boxing style head movement (bobbing,...
I should add that Hall not only executed the kick perfectly, but he also chose the right moment against the right type of opponent. If he had been...
What I think you might be missing is that the "errors" you see in the fighters getting knocked out aren't due to ignorance or lack of skill or...
That sort of lock flow is commonly taught in arts like Aikido, Hapkido, Silat, and Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu, but I haven't had much luck with it....
Yeah, if someone only trains and spars in a ruleset where there are no negative consequences for a high kick, then they will lack the knowledge of...
Exactly. Wristlock finishes aren't the most common submission in BJJ, but they do happen because competitors will get so caught up in defending a...
I haven't seen that particular setup in Aikido, but I'm not an Aikido practitioner and don't know everything in the art. Perhaps one of the...
Just so you know, that counter is totally legal under standard MMA rules. I have sparred at a school where they allowed groin kicks. It didn't...
Just so you know, the winner was using BJJ. That particular standing wrist lock is part of BJJ. I've been taught it by multiple BJJ instructors....
Not an issue. Especially since both the OP and most of the people who replied are still active on the site. Necro-ing a thread isn’t against the...
Those are some cool knees. I’ve seen elements of that technique in other fighters and practiced bits of it myself, but I don’t think I’ve seen...
You seem to be a bit confused on the history here ... Funokoshi did not develop Karate. He helped popularize it by bringing it from Okinawa to...
Here’s a newer video showing the sort of BJJ tournament specific skills Danaher is talking about: [MEDIA]
You would be totally correct if this was a standing situation. However since the defender is pinned on the floor, the real challenge is not a...
Saenchai isn't the only Muay Thai fighter with good footwork. My favorite is probably Lerdsila: [MEDIA] You are correct that traditionally most...
Nelson has a 23-19 pro record (would have been 23-14 if he had retired from fighting at age 41 like a normal person), much of that fighting at the...
There's a huge amount in variation to be found in Judo ground fighting skill, both at the school and the individual level. There are Judo black...
I'm quite aware that traditional Japanese Jujutsu includes strikes. So is the OP, Hanzou, as he made clear in his original post. My response was...
Yeah, you might want to read back through the discussion a bit. Your understanding of actual JJJ is misinformed.
Yeah, but the meme image in question is clearly aiming to identify BJJ with the pro athletes and other arts (in this case KMA practitioners,...
To be fair, the top group looks like a typical group of hobbyist martial artists and the bottom group is a bunch of world class professional...
That's why my example was 100% dedication to a 50% efficient program vs 10% dedication to a 100% efficient program. If the art/training program is...
