You Brasilian ? and you into this TMA gunk ? that's weird man when you have BJJ , VT , etc why you follow this masterbation thing yah ? Well anyone can beat anyone , I never believe anything unless I see it verified in high level competition.
Good gosh, where do you live/what do you do, to get attacked with a garrote? Doesn't sound like fun...
Actually, it's not a kick. They jump up and "grab on the neck" with their feet/legs and twist the body to throw the opponent... it is truly remarkable, and I never had thought something like that possible. My first martial arts instructor was Vietnamese, and I graduated a black belt under him in ITF Tae Kwon-Do. He was the most explosive guy I have met in all my life, and both he and his brother could do tons of acrobatic tricks. We also had a lot of contact with other styles, associations and other practitioners from other clubs. It was very good since he would always tie things in to philosophy and sometimes Buddhism. We also had Vietnamese monks and others coming to hang out with us. It was really great. We developed really strict discipline throughout the whole association as well, putting very strict rules on conduct inside and outside the gym.
You are about 98% incorrect. The only reason you're still 2% correct is because things like "heart" cannot be "taught" to a fighter. That being said, a person with intense fighting spirit using TKD will still lose to a guy who is bored using bjj >90% of the time. And a brilliant trader using Woodie's bullshit will still lose money 100% of the time.
(note that this doesn't apply to ALL Krav Maga schools; just the one I went to) I moved to a new town and there was only one MA school there, and it was Krav Maga. I called and talked to the guys and the guy said he would give me 2 free lessons if I wanted. Basically, it was just another McDojo. There was never any sparring or training against a resisting opponent. We did some shitty boxing drill and the instructor yelled at me because I kept by hands close to my face (from MMA training) and because I wasn't reaching out to intercept incoming punches!!! The first thing you learn in MMA is never ever, ever, EVER reach out to grab an incoming punch. Suffice to say the rest of the class was a joke, the teacher didn't believe in "ground fighting," and I never went back for the second free lesson. I felt bad for the people in there who legitimately thought they were learning how to defend themselves.
Hell yes! I used to train at SBGi!!!! (and then I had to move ) I trained with them like 4 years ago. I absolutely agree with their "aliveness" concept. PS. bjjtrader you have a PM.
Hapkido/Aikido do not have better wrest control or techniques, simply because they are not practiced full force against live resisting opponents, like BJJ guys do. You can practice your wrist locks against a guy who sticks his arm straight out at you and waits for an hour a million times and you still will lose a wrist lock war against a BJJ guy who trains it every day against real live resisting opponents. Further, the hapkido/aikido guy will be lost trying to apply a wrist lock when he is being crushed in a pin from the BJJ guy and cant breathe because he simply has never learned proper positioning and how to take that kind of pressure on the ground. Getting a wrist lock on someone who is swinging and trying to take your head off is nearly impossible. Getting a wrist lock on someone from a controlling/pinning position like a BJJ guy does, happens all the time. Again, wrist locks, eye gouging, throat strikes.... is 98% TMA marketing because their shit doesnt work. Nothing but excuses. Just like the god of the gaps. If your safety relies on knowing a few dirty techniques, then you are not safe at all.
wtf this thread got moved? Now no one will see it. Well anyway it was supposed to be about trading but I guess it got off topic. Anyway, MA is good stuff so it's still a good thread
MMA is a sport and nothing more. BBJ works better in the ring of rules than on the street and can not work against multiple opponents - unless they are 8 years old.
