I'm sorry I was trying to answer a couple at once. There are alot of posts. I just felt like yours was a good point to consider.
This I believe was in reference to Omar's earlier responce, and whether it was really about what he had posted... I think. No reference here, so hard to be sure...
And answering multiple posts and questions is great, but please reference them. This is one way of doing it, but I think I may copyright it, so you may need to find your own...
I think There was a question about do I train with weapons, or do I teach weapons? I have in the past, but my thoughts were, when will I ever have a sword in my hand at a public place.
Now this may sound a little out of place, but when did you train with weapons such as swords? Not one of the arts you have claimed (and I think we have established that you have presented a rather embelished list, saying you have trained BJJ and Muay Thai when you have trained MMA for a short while) involves weapon training, especially older weapons such as a sword. So have you actually trained (been taught by a qualified instructor), or just played around with them yourself?
It may sound weird, but I spend hours working on ways to fight with chairs, tables, ect. Things that may be found in an actual public place.
Hmm, weird is one word for it. Borderline illegal and fantasy-based may be another. You think about how to fight "with" chairs and tables, as you can find themin a public place? One question, do you love watching the WWE as well (not a disparagement, I'm a big fan myself, Triple H is my favourite)? It ain't the same, I'm afraid.
Remember that anytime a weapon is brought into a situation (including you starting to hit people with chairs), you are escalating the situation and therefore the legal ramifications of such. And from your posts here, it appears that you don't quite understand the realities of what you are talking about, and the real physical and legal trouble you are opening people up to.
Not saying that a person who knows how to use a weapon couldn't pick up something and fight. I like to think that improvisation is what makes a style or technique personal.
Well, I would say that you are jumping ahead. The first thing to do is to train it so the skills are a part of your natural actions, and only after you truly understand them can you start to get into the adaptation/variation aspect to "personalise" the system. Too many people jump ahead to the "I do it my way!" approach without spending the appropriate timedeveloping their skill. This leaves their resultant techniques sadly lacking, and with little chance of improvement.
Within Japanese arts, there are three stages of learning, known as Shu, Ha, Ri. Shu is that first stage, where you do as shown, and do not vary it at all. This instills the strategies and movements of the art, and gives you the building blocks to allow you to later start to adapt. Ha gives you a little more freedom, allowing you to adapt the individual technique itself, but the initial technique should still be recognisable. By the time you reach Ri, the principles are completely internalised, the techniques are thrown away, and an art is truly personal.
With your described history I would suggest that you never got further than Shu, and not very far into that before leaving and thinking you understood it all. In other words, you have very prematurely put yourself past the Shu stage, into the Ha stage. However, I don't think you have placed yourself at the Ri stage, mainly because I don't think you are aware of it...
I do show people who ask for some help grappling. I don't like (alot of grappling) not all , because it pulls you off into a one on one fight. If you have multiple attackers you need to keep moving. If you keep moving its harder for them to get behind you and you might actually get away from them.
Okay, this is where those references come in handy...
You show people who ask for help? Okay, but that doesn't make you a teacher, that makes you someone who was asked by someone else who probably knows even less than you do.
Liking or not liking grappling is fine, and against groups I agree, it is not the best choice. But what you should be looking to is group management, rather than just keep moving. It's a good initial startegy, but needs development. But I won't get too much into that here, this is looking like it's going to be a long enough post as it is.
I think it was also asked how would I show basic techniques and progress someone in them? Sorry if I'm off on the questions some. Usually if someone asks me to help them train, it depends on their mobility. If they cannot stand. I will sit in a chair across from them and we will go threw drills.
My question here is simple. Who is asking you to help them train? Is it just friends, past training partners, are you advertising somewhere?
There is not alot of range to dodge in a chair, so I have them practice movements with their gaurd up. Its actualy pretty easy to flip a chair over when you are franticly moving from side to side. After I get them use to relaxing while blocking and counter attacking with things like boxing movements. I teach them how to set up for an elbow, because from a sitting down position its sometimes difficult to use an elbow.
Hmm, not sure I agree with this approach. Most people in wheelchairs are more likely to be grabbed, rather than hit, so I would go more through resistant grappling and anti-grappling tactics. And an elbow? What on Earth for? You even admit it's not easy (so it's not going to be a high return tool) to apply, the distancing is not suited as the person in a wheelchair would be lower (further away from the main viable targets) and it is just not a good option to take them through.
Then I will show them how to use arm locks and other grappling techniques to bring them closer. From there I teach them techniques for eye gouges, groin hits, ect. Thats usually the process for someone who can't stand up.
Ah, grappling. Good, it is in there. How about this though, why is the person in a chair? Is it paraplegia, or are you including things such as cerebral palsy which will limit the other motor functions as well? Can you see why we are saying that to develop an art for the handicapped is like saying you will develop a system for mammals without taking into account the many various conditions you will need to take into consideration?
If they have a complete range of motion I will add in kicks, and knees.
Okay, this is the editor in me... Why have you started a new paragraph (albeit without separation) within the same though structure for one sentence, then continued with a completely separate one immediately following?
I think it was Chris who asked if I was reallt published because of my awful writing skills. Yes I am, but I use their spell check system and the editor fixes the sentence structure.
No, I was more talking about the way you would start new sentences. Using a period stop. Instead of a comma. Even when it was the same sentence. That just shows. A complete lack of understanding of grammer. Your spelling is another issue. But you, my friend, are no writer.
I don't so don't put alot of time into finding out how to spell words correctly on here because it would take a while.
I don't even know what to say about this... But at least you are consistent! Learning a martial art properly would take time, so you don't bother, instead deciding you know it all and can correct the mistakes and short sightedness of those who have sadly wasted years studying. And it seems the same approach is taken for spelling. Takes too long, can't be bothered, I'm an author you know!
You have submitted articles to a self-publish site, that does not make you an author. You have had very little training, but have thought a lot about fighting with chairs and tables, while thinking about eye gouges and kill-or-be-killed fights around every corner. That, I'm afraid, does not make you a martial artist or instructor.
Also the comments for the videos are true, but keep in mind we have no camera man, so I can't really do to much moving around or we will move out of range or not the camera over.
So why make them that way? If it isn't showing what you really do, but you keep showing them as examples of your approach, why not just wait until you can do it properly? Oh, and my comments were more that your techniques were flawed, not just the lack of evasion (although that was a part of it).
I think you also pointed out that technique with the hammer fist was weak, I do agree. It was not meant to make contact, I just wanted to show what you could do.
Then what was the point? You showed that you could over-reach for a technique that was overkill, and ineffective to boot? What exactly does that show?
The clip that you thought I attacked his ears, was actually just as it looks. I push his head back to make him off balance, then kick him over.
Oh boy. The big issue here is that your "attacker" was already moving back, and frankly pushing his head back if he is really coming forward is just not going to work. Again, a very flawed technique.
It doesn't take alot of skill and not alot of physical force. I think you talked about the hip toss as having a lack of concern for my friend. The reason we are laughing in the video is because he said, ( Watch I will completely miss those cushions and when I do I am going to laugh).
Yeah, but you dropped him through badly positioned cushions (which are very poor safety considerations, really), and when he landed on his side, he was coughing and spluttering, which could indicate injured ribs, you walked off. I don't care what you or he said before the filming, that is not the way to look after your training partner.
You see as I posted on the video we had to shoot them a couple times to get the right angle. I didn't mean to throw him in the floor, but on the cushions. I laughed because I though about what he said, not because I thought he was hurt.
See above.
Also I would like to point out that, I was only hitting him with about 25% if that in the other videos. The kick you spoke of where I was off balance, if I had followed threw I may have hurt him.
"Through", dude, not "threw". Oh, and with a throw like that, the way you hold back is to hold him up as he falls, dropping him and claiming that you were only going 25%, but ignoring the impact of the floor, is not understanding throwing or safety, so don't do it until you understand that. This is part of the maturity we are talking about, in teaching, knowledge, and simply growing up. You're young, recognise that you still have a way to go.
Again, if you can't do the videos properly, why are you doing them?
I'm sorry I didn't answer you sooner, your comments are some if not the longest on here. I wasn't trying to be rude just wanted to try and answer them all at once and just now had time to sit down and do it. If I have left anyone out who wrote me I appologize, I will try to get to you I usually work threw the day though. Thank you guys for your help Cody
Yeah, I do go on every now and then... but I like to be thorough. There is no need to apologise if you take on board what we are saying.
). But even in CMA styles such as Xingyiquan levels are important and you need to fully understand one before you go on to the next if you ever hope to actually understand it and use it properly. And this stuff takes time…. A lot of time and if ones goal is to help others than one would, I believe, take that time to do it right
No new art can claim anything until it is tested and proven, yet that does not preclude it from EVENTUALLY upholding the claims it initially wants to make
