I think I need to clarify.Jowga mentioned (and has mentioned in the past as well), his goal is to learn, not necessarily to win.
I can't speak for others but this is true as you have explained it.Which, again, is great! I am absolutely not advocating against this. It's how you learn how to use something new. But lets say you spend most of your time doing these, then go to a judo competition. There's a good chance that you'll lose. Not because your technique is lacking, but because you never focused 'purely' on winning before. Performing his own foot sweeps may be his best technique, but he might not be as good at them as he could be, because he spends so much time focusing on other stuff. So he has great breadth, but not great depth into any specific technique. Or the opposite might be true; he might spend a lot of time training his foot sweeps, but all of a sudden his opponents in the tournament realize this and he has trouble transitioning; in this situation he'd have too great depth, but not enough breadth.
I'm still trying to think of that one too. The closest I got was an arm bite or preventing the choke from being set and that didn't seem to be something easy to do. After the hands past a specific point or window of opportunity, there is no way to make my mouth reach the fingers.I can’t think of any choke I do where it would be physically possible for my opponent to bite my fingers.
I like your attitude. If someone bites your finger off, you will have all the right in the world to kill him (not sure about the US law here.). I truly believe to be kind to your enemy is to be cruel to yourself.I will continue to choke him untill he dies. Then reattach the fingers.
A zombie will bite you before you get a full mount and choke on him.I can’t think of any choke I do where it would be physically possible for my opponent to bite my fingers.
I agreeI can’t think of any choke I do where it would be physically possible for my opponent to bite my fingers.
Yep. Fundamental hand fighting and head fighting are the key to being able to deliver or defend against bites. Fortunately we can develop those skills without actually having to get bitten.I agree
I’ve found that the counters to people trying to bite your forearm or legs are easily learnt and really bad for the biter
I can, however, see a situation where the defender directs a hand/fingers to their mouth to attack with a bite. Might be a force multiplier on top of hand fighting defensive work
