Quick Control

[stonewall1350]

Thanks guys....so basically what I am hearing that as an art...JJ has more stand up than BJJ? And are alot of the moves similar with BJJ and JJ when it ends up on the ground? I mean these may seem like dumb questions to the more experiences, but I have NO ground experience at all. I mean alot of fights do end up on the ground, and so I know I need to know how to fight there.

As for MCMAP....the knife fighting comes from Kali/Escrima/Arnis. And it is an effective art if utilized properly. Alot of the moves are designed to be used with a rifle in hand lol. This is all just basic explination that a friend has given me. I mean if it comes down to hand to hand combat, you need to know how to manipulate a rifle so that when you dont have any bullets that it can become a weapon(something that happened in '04). Of course if we are going to talk about whats designed for what in combat, bear in mind the objective is to kill the bad guys with as few bullets as possible. And being the military when they realize that 300 per soldier for 1 excursion may not be enough, they pack and extra 1000 lol.

Greetings – More then anything I believe that you need to train
your mind and heart. Most traditional arts teach us not only
how to physically control a situation, but how to mentally
and strategically control a situation .
Fighting , and physical technique is really what we are left
with when our real training has failed us.
If we go about things in a Martial manner, our opponent or
the enemy should not have a good chance at harming us.
There is the law or the jungle where the stronger win and
survive, when two tigers fight one or both may die,
by training the mind and heart we can transcend this.
For our opponent to harm us he must gain the initiative,
he must be slightly ahead of our plan, and or beat us
to the punch. learning not to allow this to occur is actual
martial training. Enemies attack because they perceive
a weakness and a opening or chance to take advantage
of us, if we do not present this weakness or opening
we are less likely to be assaulted, if we present a opening
as bait , and the opponent does take it, we are still ahead
of him and in control, (we knew what he was going to do
before he did ).
Self defense and control come down to focus of mind,
Heart , position, posture, and timing , what physically occurs
is secondary.
almost any traditional art will teach you how to use the
opponents strength and emotion against him,
We should not try to control a strong opponent until we
have made them weaker, a opponent can be made
weaker, by distracting them from their purpose,
(if you want to control his arm, you can not allow him
to know it or focus on his arm, you must first move his
mind elsewhere).
the mind can be distracted easily, using emotion,
Physically, the body is weakened , by a change of balance,
extension away from the center, or distraction of the mind
(pain ) , a wasted attack (they become tired), lack of breath or
proper breathing and many other ways.

The trick to controlling a opponent is to never allow him to
focus his mind and strength , to attack weakness, and
then use posture and positioning , to achieve a superior
position , from which point, he can either relent or be
broken, this does not have to be Physical control as
in a arm bar, It means any superior position,
including pointing a gun directly at him from a safe distance,
because you got the drop on him, and he never really had
much of a chance.

I would strongly recommend Hapkido. Hapkido focuses STRICTLY on self-defense techniques, many of which can be applied to control a situation, as you are seeking. Hapkido is an overall complete art, with kicks, throws, punches, wrist locks, and holds. I'd look into it. A close cousin is Aikido as well, try that if Hapkido is not available to you.

Good job with handling the crazy ex-boyfriend, too!
