I would expect any grappler worth their salt would already have compromised the footing on that leg before you could roll out of it?

side note. I flying squirreled someone off of a double leg last night. Have been trying to hit that for such a long time

>>1172984
have you ever actually drilled before?

>>1172984
In fairness that happens alot when wrestling people shitter or weaker.

>>1173111
but a drill needs to be real time. Gotta actually have someone at least half attempt the takedown, not just sit there

>>1173111

oh and also
>single leg
>head to the outside
that's a super convoluted way to stop such a shit attempt when you can just maintain your footing and hang a guillotine

>>1173190
>but a drill needs to be real time.
You risk developing shit technique like that. Slowly working up speed while developing your technique is good so once you're up to speed, you're technique is up to scratch.

If you guys had to make a combine-it-all wrestling style, what would be the rules?
Or to put it another way, what type of wrestling is the most general and open to defend against all other types of wrestling? Like, what's the boxing of wrestling?
Is it grecoroman?

Hey bros, what styles do you train in? I'm currently training bjj+taekwondo+kickboxing.

I train bjj Sunday and Monday whilst Tuesday and Thursday are kickboxing and taekwondo and Wednesdays is when I train K-1.

I've been meaning to create a programme to help me especially with my strength, cardio and flexibility. So far I'm planning to hit a tire with a hammer and in addition knuckle pushups in order to strengthen my wrists. Kettlebell circuits to improve my cardio and add a little bit of strength. I've been meaning to incorporate morning runs in my daily routine but I get shitfaced the rest of the day and find myself tired during training sessions so I'll probably run once or twice a week.

>>1173353
How long have you been doing your martial arts? And how do you think taekwondo compliments kickboxing?

>I've been meaning to incorporate morning runs in my daily routine but I Get shitfaced the rest of the day
Are you waking up early to do this? If you're waking up early, you're fucking up your sleep-wake schedule. You'd either need to get used to it, adjust, and go to sleep earlier, or change your current schedule.

>>1173353
the more I train bjj the more useless I realize it is. Fucking hate how it's so reliant on grips.
I had a kid out of highschool wreck my shit in no gi with wrestling
as a sport it's pretty fun, as a martial art I don't understand how anybody can take this shit seriously. It's like 90% of the techniques are *
*will not work without a gi
so today we're going to go in depth with spider guard*
>So far I'm planning to hit a tire with a hammer
that was just funny to read
>hey bro, how do you get your arms like that?
>I hit a tire with a hammer

>>1170712
>Tae Kwon Do
>literally korean rip-off karate
No thanks friendo.

>>1173353
bjj + mma classes for about a year on-and-off due to college.

>>1173379
I guess your guillotines and back-takes suck huh? Train more, cry less, and get in the no-gi classes in your gym.

>>1173424
no gi is just catch wrestling, its dishonest to even call it jiujitsu at that point

>>1173377
I've been doing bjj and kickboxing for about a year now, I use to do bodybuilding but I found that it just wasn't fun anymore. I started doing taekwondo 2 months ago.

I find that taekwondo works pretty well with kickboxing and the spinning kicks are fun to do but my flexibility is terrible. One of the main reasons I took up taekwondo was for the flexibility and the useful techniques. Although one of my qualms is that I find it awkward kicking with the toes as I feel more comfortable hitting with my shin and the fact that turf toes suck ass.

I'm quite a late sleeper and I tend to wake up during noon so I'm trying to change that.

>>1173379
>the more I train bjj the more useless I realize it is
I agree with you 50/50, bjj is typically not very effective in real life since if you grapple on tarmac then 9/10 the tarmac would win. I would agree that nogi grappling is more effective in a heated situation but then again gi training is useful imo in colder climates when people tend to wear jackets and clothing but that's just me since I live in the UK and its cold as fuck most of the time.

>>1173433
I really don't think its "just catch wrestling", fighting off your back is still an important part of the game.

>>1173445
but that's a big part of what makes it useless. fighting off your back in gi makes sense, fighting off your back in no gi is shit because you don't have grips.

>>1173458
Tbh I think people should just train both. When I hear people say JJ is shit because fighting off you're back is bad, I just think "Break posture, hit technical stand-up" congratz, now you're not on your back.

>>1170725

This is the corner we are left to huddle in until fifteen diva hair threads push us to the archive.

Be happy ma got one of the 10% of threads that isn't wrestling. By summer it literally will be one /asp/ general.

You guys think there's a chance of an alternative-sports dedicated board getting made?

>>1170129
Does anyone have the most recent version of the cross of /asp/?

>>1173205
You can get choked with your head on the inside as well, head outside = bad is a BJJ meme that needs to end. In either case, you're sacrificing takedown defense for a submission attempt, and that doesn't always work out.

>>1173555

>>1173230
I wouldn't do anything to wrestling. The separation is fine so as to allow someone to focus on whatever aspect of the sport they're interested in.

serious question for those that have done both. Is BJJ easier on the body than Judo? Obviously they'll both have their specific issues, but what really fucks my shit up in judo is being slammed on the floor and explosive pulling. Would I have an easier time of it in BJJ or am I just in for a new world of pain?

>>1174503
>Is BJJ easier on the body than Judo?
BJJ is a little more rough on your butthole.

>>1174503
In the end they'll both shit on your body, but in Judo you're guaranteed to take multiple impacts on the floor over and over again. BJJ will eventually fuck your back up and give you spooky skeletal hands (if you grip-fight heavily at least), but judo will generally fuck your shit up.

>>1173230
Catch wrestling probably.

>I'm not going to go too indepth with how to throw these kicks; I can't give away too much information, I'll be upsetting Muay Thai schools out there. Right.

Gym instructors could turn on a video camera, and say exactly what they're going to say to their students about throwing a punch or a kick.
They can point out every single little detail, the details that would be corrected in a live session, using charts, slow motion capture, and detailed images.
They just don't want to do that because people won't have to pay for their beginner lessons anymore.
Other gyms don't want other people to do this because people won't have to pay for their beginner lessons anymore.

Some people actually believe information, knowledge of martial arts, should be free, so they post instructional videos, to teach people.

Other places, they just post instructional videos, but so they can self advertise and get you to get the knowledge they're leaving out by joining their gym or buying their DVD, because people are greedy mother fuckers.

>>1175279
Forgive my ignorance, how does BJJ mess up your back? I would tend to think that all the core strength involved in the sport would shore all that up.

>>1173844
Retard tier: you.

>>1175279
>spooky skeletal hands

>>1176370
All the training and fighting done off your back accumulates over time. Common problems amongst the older guys who've been in bjj for awhile are things like bulging discs.

I'm usually one to mostly stay on the outside, going inside for short amounts of time, not throwing combinations often.
I thought that makes me a bit predictable, so I've decided to work on throwing combinations more, as done in the video.
How I plan on implementing combination in with the other things I do is still a work in progress.

But what is a martial art?

This is based off of Wikipedia, but Wikipedia is best used for getting a rather general understanding of things, so it could be wrong.

According to Wikipedia (W), a martial art can be a system of combat practices.
According to W, combat can be a purposeful violent conflict meant to drive the opponent away from a location.
According to W, violence can be the intentional use of one's self which results in a high likelihood of an opponent resulting in injury, death, or psychological harm.

Parkour is a set of practices.
These practices can be used to drive an opponent away from an area.
These practices can be used to drive an opponent away from an area with the intent of causing harm to the opponent.

Take this popular Parkour movie scene, for example.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wm9qvqzefds

David Badass drove the gangsters and thugs away from an area and himself, in which the gangsters and thugs ended up hurt.

But as I said, this is Wikipedia, Wikipedia isn't always the most credible source.

>>1178669

>>1179046

>>1179292

>>1179255
>But what is a martial art?

So i'm looking for a recommendation on Take Won Do manuals i can buy on Amazon.

>>1179424
Why do you need manuals?

You can skip all the Kata, belts and uniforms, and go straight to the good stuff, Kicking Technique.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHP4wN1W4K0

If you really want to string together stuff and dance around while developing technique, you can look up their Kata on YouTube.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHP4wN1W4K0

>>1179423
He does but that's besides the point.

Korean martial arts are documented in historical sources and manuals together with horse-back acrobatics and dances.

Point is they included acrobatics and similar stuff in almost every tradition that requires you to move your body.

>>1179445
Not going to have Internet access for the next half of the year and i really need something productive to do in my free time and i need some exercise as i put on extra 10 Kg during the winter (currently weigh 105Kg at 185 Cm).

The ''really want to string together stuff and dance around while developing technique'' part should do that for me.
Also i think that there's a purpose in learning from the basics so i was looking for a well written manual and i don't trust online ratings on sales sites.

Their ruling caste during the 17th century viewed it all as ''folk arts'' not just martial arts and thus they were documented and written down together.

They also had that Sword-danicng tradition related to some story where a dancer drew sabres at a festival and killed a king of an older dynasty.

I read most of this some years ago so i can't remember most of it.

>>1180324
Rarity might be a double edged sword. There's a higher likelihood the BJJ place getting you exposed to a wider world of tournaments, and BJJ learning resources and shit will be more abundant.

Is it easy to tell if a dojo is legit or not, is there some website that verifies them?

>I'm just starting out with them myself
Nice to see I'm not the only one having fun with those.

>the apprehension of possibly hitting myself
It's been so long since I was first starting out, I don't really remember that.
During the video, I actually hit myself in the testicles at least a couple times during video.
After getting a developed pain tolerance, and hitting yourself with them a few times, it doesn't seem as bad anymore. My pain tolerance isn't as high as it used to be, though, I plan on working on that.

There is a difference in motivation. Parkour is the art of moving quickly and efficiently through any environment, free running is about doing impressive tricks while running around. Doing flips and shit, strictly speaking, betrays the fundamental idea in parkour of being efficient and quick.

But generally if you do one you'll probably end up doing the other, so it's only a distinction for traceurs to care about.

>>1194401
>ur is the art of moving quickly and efficiently through any environment, free running is about doing impressive tricks while running around.
Some people disagree.

One of the interpretations is that there is no distinction, and that PKFR (Parkour-FreeRunning) is about freedom; about one's ability to move freely in various ways amongst the environment, with just one's body. Just one's body, but some people often neglect the detail of whether or not clothing an shoes are involved.

There's a ton of ways you can wind up on the ground, whether you're thrown, single/double legged, or any of the other million ways to get someone down, you can't rely on your ability to stay on your feet indefinitely.

Since wrestling isn't an alternative sport at all. Or a sport.That's why they added the & between it and the original title. It technically belongs on /tv/, because it's a scripted fucking tv show, but it would overrun that too. It needs a containment board, but Hiroshimoot decided to just destroy /asp/ instead.

Your shows have literally nothing to do with the content of /asp/. It isn't a fucking sport, it's a televised stage play with a lot of athleticism involved.

Not a martial art, not a sport. /tv/ content that would overrun /tv/. Needs its own board.

Octopus Style.

We should have 2 attachable arms, and 2 attachable legs.

One extra limb for each limb, giving us 8.

We could angle them in a way so that when throwing a strike, they don't hit simultaneously.
You could hit from many different angles, and the opponents would need to deal with 2 strikes for every 1 strike you do.

This should be primarily a striking art.
If your opponent manages to control one of the extra limbs, he controls your limb attached to it.
But there're still grappling benefits.

of all the ways to take someone down a double leg is one of the more gentle

What made you want to train? Was it a who or what that inspired you? Tell your intro to martial arts story

>>1202194
Not if you lift them

>>1202864
without getting into the implications of effortlessly lifting someone bigger than you, where as judo throws don't require a lift so much as a disruption of balance
yes it is still more gentile, there isn't any angular momentum on it

a double leg is a glorified tackle, it isn't even considered a throw, all of the energy is pushing forward
a throw creates an inversion and dumps the person head first on to their back from an arc

you should take a judo class to see the difference in impact when you hit the ground between legal judo and double legs. I've never once seen a match end of any kind from a double leg, I've seen people hospitalized off of throws more times than I can count

We've had judo kids come and get double legged by the wrestling team and they seem to all share the same terrified look on their face when it happens. Why are you trying to be elitist about what hurts and what doesn't? And a double leg isn't a "glorified tackle" you fucking autistic faggot. Even judoka recognize this, as morote gari has always been a part of judo curriculum. What Jordan Burroughs does is far more technical than a fucking tackle. Next you'll be saying a suplex is a "glorified lift."

You need to work on defense more. Your hands were constantly too low and you just stood at close range and threw punch after punch without once bobbing slipping or weaving. You need to start farther away, move in to hit, and then move back. If you had a better bag I'd tell you to circle around the bag from side to side as well. You need to work on getting more snap in your punches and kicks. A lot of times it felt more like you were gently pushing the bag rather than punching it because it was coming in so slow at the point of contact. You're also retracting your arms far too slowly. Practice pulling them back to your face as fast as you can after throwing a punch. You also take way too long to set up your kicks and they're really slow. You can see them coming from a mile away. You need to make them more explosive and without warning.

I'd recommend doing some sparring because getting punched in the face a whole bunch will teach you to keep those hands up and head moving better than anything else.

Is boxing fun/a good workout?
I already do judo and lift, and did muay thai for a few years beforehand. I don't really care about self-defence, just wanna have fun and be healthy.

>I'd tell you to circle around the bag from side to side
I'm not one to circle much unless my opponent circles. But even then, I may keep the direction I'm facing in order to throw my opponent off or give them a false sense of security. If my opponent tries to take my back, I could throw a turning or spinning attack. If you opponent tries to circle the other way, rear side strikes are still available.

>you need to work on getting more snap in your punches and kicks
That's your opinion.

>a lot of times if felt like you were gently pushing the bag
I was doing that a lot of the times. The point of the bag work was to get used to staying in and throwing combinations.

>also take way too long to set up your kicks
I don't think you understand the context in which I was practicing.

>and they're really slow
The point of the bag work was to practice strategy and tactics, as well as to do some cardio work without gassing myself out in the beginning.

>I'd recommend doing some sparring because getting punched in the face a whole bunch will teach you to keep those hands up and head moving better than anything.
I've sparred in a pure Boxing context plenty of times.
I've sparred in various Kickboxing contexts plenty of times.
I've sparred in various MMA contexts plenty of times.
I prefer lower hands, and using parrying and distancing rather than head movement; though, I did utilize head movement a lot during a lot of the times I did pure Boxing.

>I'd recommend doing some sparring

But we rarely see them fight, or even practice.
Like connecting the discussion with the arts people have done and studied, connecting the way they fight, at least in the small amounts of time we see it in video, is part of the fun.

I just want to see people post what they do with martial arts instead of just seeing them talk about it all the time.
Some could find it hypocritical for me to want others to post themselves, but not post myself.
So, besides the joy and entertainment that I find in practicing martial arts and creating martial arts videos, I also post because it feels right.

Who's P4P #1 in UFC right now? Mighty Mouse or Bones?

>>1232368

Mouse is by far the greatest UFC fighter of all time and people are finally starting to take notice.

Cejudo was the first high schooler to win U.S. Nationals and skipped college wrestling to become an Olympic gold medalist in freestyle wrestling at an incredibly young age, then he went to the UFC and cleared out the flyweights with an undefeated 10 and 0 record but it doesn't matter. Everyone knows he was dead on arrival stepping to Mouse.

Not only did Mouse leave the fight without a scratch and ended Cejudo within 2 minutes of the first round, but he won by grappling and destroyed him in a clinch! Mouse is so superior to the other fighters he BEATS THEM AT THEIR OWN GAME.

Not only that, it it literally impossible to hit Mighty Mouse. Mouse was ready to block or dodge any strike Cejudo could even think about throwing. Joe is completely sincere when he says that Mouse is like a ghost, you will never hit him.

Mouse is the only person I would be truly proud to say is a martial artist. Props to Matt "The Wizard" Hume for filling that massive Mouse brain with perfect technique and conditioning.

Fuck I'll probably even follow Mouse's twitch. That man is a god and anyone with a different opinion knows nothing about the sport.

Tips on BJJ, stepped in day 1 and had no idea what the fuck I was doing.

Learned how to do the "swimming" thing and how to push someone off you

>>1232368
Mighty Mouse is easily the best P4P fighter right now. The level of competition has been similar between Johnson and Jones, yet Johnson has come out as more dominant in all of his fights. DJ finished 5 of his last 7 fights, Jones only finished 2. DJ has almost always been the smaller fighter in both height and reach, compared to Jones having nearly a foot of reach on most of the LHW division.

And before anyone talks about how shallow the FlW division is, let's take a look at who Jones has fought to get where he is today.

Bader:18-5 in the UFC, good but not great fighter
Shogun:7-8 in the UFC. Was only 2-2 when he beat Machida for the belt, because LHW was a shallow division
Rashad:Took the belt from the weakest LHW champion and then immediately lost it to Machida
Rampage:Already had 40 pro fights when he fought Jones
Machida:Was 1-2 in the 3 fights he had before Jones. The 1 win was over a 47 year old Couture.
Vitor:Had a 25-11 lifetime record. Beat Couture for the title and lost it immediately after.
Gusstafsson:Has never beaten a guy in the top 5, put Jones on a stretcher and only lost because of a lucky spinning elbow
Cormier:The most impressive victory of Jone's career. Had only just moved down from HW and is much older than Jones.
Glover: Similar to Bader, had to be eyepoked into submission.
OSP:Had a 3 week fight camp. 3-2 in his previous 5 fights. Broke his hand in the 2nd round. Still fought Jones to a decision.

The reason Jones looks so impressive is because he fought big names, but just because they were big names didn't mean they were actually skilled. The quality of competition Jones and Johnson both have had is similar, and Johnson has done a much better job of cleaning up his division, whereas Jones has yet to fight Rumble or rematch anyone. DJ's most recent loss came at the hands of Cruz, and DJ was only training casually 3 times/week.

Fun fact: When DJ turns 31, he'll have tied or passed Silva's defence record. Silva debuted at 31.

Keep doing it 2-3 times a week and you'll start to get a basic idea in a couple of months.

>>1226184
>>punch after punch without once bobbing slipping or weaving
>Care to elaborate?

I think that you don't understand that bag work is supposed to be more than just hitting the bag. You're supposed to train techniques for an actual fight which means you should treat the bag almost like it was a dangerous opponent. You need to keep your distance, then step in and throw a jab or a combo and then step back out again. If you decide to stay at midrange, you need to practice slipping or parrying invisible punches because if you can hit your opponent, he can hit you, and you know damn well that he's going to be his best to You should try to work all sorts of defensive moves into your bagwork routine because By training offense and defense at the same time, you become a much better fighter because that's what you have to do in a real fight.

>>you need to start farther away, move in to hit, and then move back
>Did you watch the videos at all?

I did watch the videos (nice nunchaku skills btw) and you were spending way too much time just standing in range, sometimes while throwing punch after punch without changing your foot positions or dodging at all which is very unrealistic. Your opponent would have to be doing nothing but covering up and standing there. The speed at which you were moving when you did decide to change distance was not realistic at all in my opinion. You'd get pummeled if you moved at that speed in an actual fight.

>>and they're really slow
>The point of the bag work was to practice strategy and tactics, as well as to do some cardio work without gassing myself out in the beginning.

Fair enough I suppose, except that it really doesn't take that much more energy to throw a fast (straight) punch, it's mostly a matter of technique. It takes more energy to throw a harder punch, but almost no more energy to throw a faster punch. And if you're doing bagwork for cardio already, why not also get some real martial art practice out of it?

>>1236051
>You're supposed to train techniques for an actual fight which means you should treat the bag almost like it was a dangerous opponent.
I compartmentalize my training more. Sometimes I work on technique, sometimes I work on speed, sometimes I just exercise, some times I work mostly on strategies and tactics, other times It's some combination.

>you decided to stay at midrange

See >>1177572
>I'm usually one to stay on the outside
>I thought that makes me more predictable
>so I decided to work on throwing combinations more

>way too much time just standing in range
As stated in the previously linked post, I was doing that because of how much I don't do that while sparring and fighting.
Also, Knockdown Karate. I want to compete in amateur MMA, probably still will, but after that, I might just stick with Knockdown Karate. Personally, my favorite part of fighting is striking, and with my other plans for my life, it's best I keep my brain in the best possible shape. That's why Knockdown Karate is so appealing.

>you should try to work on defensive moves into your bag work
I've never done that because it just felt so strange. The small amounts of time I did do that, it felt like I was gaining very little compared to defending against an attack.
Defending during bag work is different from fighting in part because when I defend against strikes in a fight, it's almost always just a reaction; there has to be a stimulus that I perceive first, and then I defend against it. Even if I was expecting someone to do something, I'm still going do nothing in the means of defending said attack until the opponent does it.
However, I've previously been getting tired of the lack of defensive moves I can perform on the bag since it just doesn't strike, so even if it doesn't get me as much benefit as training with an opponent, I agree with you and will start incorporating parrying more.

>except that it really doesn't take that much more energy to throw a fast (straight) punch, it's mostly a matter of technique.
By mixing in slow and fast, you're taxing your body in different ways. Sprinters start off slower at first, build up speed, and then burst as quickly as they can at the end.
Distance runners do things a little differently.
Also, I gas out relatively quickly because of how I spent my time in previous years.
As posted in >>1186561
Doing things more quickly would've been more taxing on me.

>and if you're doing bagwork for cardio already, why not also get some real martial arts practice out of it?
As stated before, the main focus of the bag work that time was strategy and tactics.
It's more of a general work that's going to be longer in development, since the base of how I usually fight most of the time is staying out of range. I'm just not comfortable staying in range and standing and trading for ever long. Sure, the lack of defense goes against how I usually fight, but that's part of the strategy. Once opponents start to get to know me, they're not going to expect me to stand in there like a Boxing brawler/Kyokushin Practitioner and just take hits while dishing them out.
2/2

I might want to try out a martial art, but I don't know which one. I'm pretty /fit/, but I have no experience whatsoever with regards to any fighting sport. Used to play basketball, but shin splints fucked me.
My uni has karate, jiu-jitsu, boxing, kickboxing, judo, MMA, Krav Maga, and Systema. I think they might also have BJJ/Grappling.
What would be a good one to try out first? Which is most fun and most useful? Any advice for a total beginner? Also, which one has the least chance of fucking my shins again?

MMA is a great choice for various reasons.
MMA incorporates striking and grappling, but also various ways to mix striking and grappling.
If you later decide you want to do striking, you'd be better off than if you were to start with a grappling art.
If you later decide you want to do grappling, you'd be better off than if you were to start with a striking art.
If you later decide you want to do self defense, you'll be better off than starting with a pure striking or pure grappling art, since self defense incorporates both striking and grappling.

MMA is better than pure grappling arts because in self defense, if you go to the ground, it only takes one other opponent to fuck your shit up, family.
MMA is better for self defense than pure striking arts because you're opponent isn't going to go up against you under honorable striking rules, grappling is a real thread, especially if the opponent took wrestling in middle school, high school, college, or was put in some martial art as a kid.
With MMA, you just need to remember to try to stay on your feet. If you happen to get grappled, you'll know what to do, unlike pure strikers a lot of the time.
Not to mention how MMA is the best base for MMA. MMA is tones of fun, it's a more well developed game because striking as well as grappling is allowed. Boxers can use all their legal moves in MMA, Kickboxers can use all their legal moves in MMA, Muay Thai practitioners can almost use all their legal moves in MMA, Knockdown Karate practitioners can use all their legal moves in MMA, wrestlers can use all their legal moves in MMA, etcetera, and then some.
It's like the difference between Galaga and Call of Duty.

>they might also have BJJ./Grappling
You know how you listed "jiu-Jitsu?"
That's BJJ.

That's jiu-Jitsu, Judo, and part of MMA. Karate might also have some grappling. Pretty sure Krav Maga has grappling, not sure about Systema.

thanks bruv. Any idea is MMA is hard on the shins? What is the chance of actual injury? I don't really care about getting the shit kicked out of me in training, but I don't want to tear anything or get an injury that will keep me out of training for some time (stuff like rotator cuff injuries, knee injuries, fucking you lower back, etc).

PUNCHING POWER:

Reminder

The hips help add power, but they're not the only thing.

The pectorals add speed.
Rotation of the upper body, that adds mass, but it also adds speed.
Rotation of the hips, that adds mass, which is important, but it also adds speed.
Those muscles aren't about muscling through, but about contracting quickly to generate speed, all through the pectorals, upper body, and lower body (hips).
It's not just that, no.
There's also the legs.
The legs really get that mass in there, as well as speed.

>>1177572
Not sure if another anon pointed this out. You dont use your hips when you strike with the Nunchaku. Not sure if this is a difference in method or not.
The drill seems the exact same as the Matayoshi method, so id say this applies too; use your hips like you do when you punch to generate more force on each swing.
All movements for striking start from the ground, works the exact same way as a perfect form golf swing. If you're feet arnt touching the ground when you attempt a technique (I noticed some of this during your bagwork, and not when it's an obvious lunging jab) you loose a huge amount of potential force.
https://youtu.be/mNRbhDu6a5g?t=78
This was the best video i could find to try and give you a visual representation of how it supposed to work. Id recommend slowing it down and watching the way the hips move.
It's better to master a really solid, powerful and well executed roundhouse that you can snap out after a couple of quick punches then trying to use double kicks and flying knees right of the bat. This is simply because the roundhouse is basic, solid, and extremely effective.
I can't really tell how long you've been training based on your bag work, some of it its pretty beginner, some of its pretty solid.
Keep it up son, shit's not bad at all!

In an RPG, we have options. We have a variety of things we could say in response to what another has said.

Even in the combat of many RPGs, we have options. We could chose to favor defense, we could chose to favour offense, we could chose to favor not fighting at all, as well as many different combinations of things.

Not only is that true for games, but it's true for combat in real life.
We have options, we will always have options. We could punch, we could kick, we could do both at the same time. We could chose a grappling game, we could chose one of striking, we could chose one of both, with varying levels.
We could chose more attack, or more defense. We can constantly vary attack and defense.
We have options.
We have a lot of options.

Not only do we have options in games,
not only do we have options in combat,
we have options in life.

In life, we have options, we can make a choice, we can make a difference.

Just as an outsider looking in it seems that koykushin has dropped a lot of the emphasis on tradtional conditioning through body hardening and kiko that goju focused on.

>>1240852
kyokushin is a legitimate form of bareknuckle fighting.

Goju is karate flavored RBSD LARP with one overly passionate supporter on this board who lied about being stabbed to avoid a fight.

>>1213476
bump for this

>>1240852
kyokushin is retard mode goju
it's the same karate style at it's core with an ass backwards methodology
1. it has intentionally fractured itself into something incomplete by disregarding having a balance of striking and grappling to focus on 100% striking. A striking system mind you that was developed with the intention that you would be grappling your opponent as well.
So by disregarding the grappling components, the footwork and defensive posturing of the striking component fell apart, and that brings us to reason
2. since the intended blocking and footwork of the system are less effective without the grappling aspect present, kyokushin practitioners have decided that blocking and avoiding attacks are all together a waste of time, so they just get as close as they can to their opponent in order to jam them up (doing so with impunity since none of them are grappling, and if they were these guys would be getting their shit fucked) and it amounts to going little more than punch for punch to see which retard can tank the most blows before going down. it's a dick measuring contest more than a skill competition


why aren't there more goju schools around? they are rare because the training is intensely difficult and most people aren't willing to subject their bodies to the kind of abuse it requires. On top of that many dojos are somewhat exclusive and don't even accept beginners. this is especially true in okinawa where unless you are already bringing some skills to the table you may not be accepted as a student of goju. It's martial arts grad school, a beginner couldn't handle it.

>>1241920
The real question is, where are the full contact goju competitions, with technical striking and grappling both on display?
I mean, going by your logic Judo is the Kyokushin of grappling, and yet it's much more effective than Jiujitsu is, for a lot of reasons. Specialization leads to effective martial arts more often than generalization does.

>>1242031
>Judo is the Kyokushin of grappling, and yet it's much more effective than Jiujitsu is, for a lot of reason

That's a big generalization, though it has some truth to it.

the idea that specialization is better than generalization is also not always true either.

>>1241920
Goju fag pls go.

>>1242031
>The real question is, where are the full contact goju competitions
goju is a combative, not a sport. Organized competitions trivialize the training by creating a meta where people are playing a game, not having a fight. If you want full contact goju go kumite at a dojo.

it was never about competition for championships and bragging rights, its about personal development and self defense

>>1242302
>Organized competitions trivialize the training by creating a meta where people are playing a game, not having a fight.
I think thats an unfair generlization there are people that game the system but when you look at other organized styles like judo wrestling, sambo etc all those althetes are trained fighters, they know how to compete within the rules and without to maximize victory in so many aspects,

not picking on you, but i roll my eyes when people claim they're above meer sport, when some of those sports are as intense grueling and dangerous as any fight. again i know its a generalization but there are some glaring holes specially when you see the elite styles and the people produced within them

>>1242308
I don't know about that, I basically hear nothing but how to play the meta before actually trying to out fight someone. like in judo how to slyly raise your leg and make contact with your opponents hand which will get him DQd for touching your pants, or before the rules changed how to straddle the outside of the play area to bait your opponent into stepping out so they pick up penalties. in jiujitsu you can just keep transitioning between knee on belly and full mount and rack up a fuckload of points without every attempting a submission, In mma you always should take a knee on your shoots so they can't kick at you to prevent the takedowns. and dont get me started on all the bullshit in boxing

Those are just a few examples but the point is there is no purity anymore. Unless its an unsanctioned fight without a know nothing athletic commission making up silly rules to exploit it really isn't a good demo of what a system is capable of.
At the end of the day martial arts are systematized methods of killing someone, not sports, and their effectiveness in a ring is meaningless unless your only goal is to play the sport.

>>1242331
Weapons are one thing, but to say that empty handed competition has no value towards training is rather extreme dont you think? Not to say those various lethal techniques like throwing someone on their head have no value, but if you cant throw someone period than doing the head variation won't do you much good.

There is a reason why wrestling was almost universal in human culture

>>1242340
but lets keep the weapons for example. lots of people here ignorantly suggest if something isn't used in competitions it doesn't work.
it's pretty equivalent to saying that since people no longer have duels with live ammunition, shooting a gun isn't an effective way to hurt someone. "lol da streetz don't exist!" is the attitude around here

but the fact is paintball has a lot of similar skills as a firearm, so the guys around here would have you drop into a hot zone with paint ball markers "there are competitive paintball competitions with people shooting each other, so its more legitimate than fighting with a rifle! bullets are too low percentage anyway" The only reason there aren't rifle competitions like that is because it's too dangerous. And a fireteam of professional paintball players aren't going to do dick if you drop them in a war with real guns and say go for it guys! you have had somewhat comparable training with a slight skill overlap!!!

man, I can stand and box all day, but if someone want's to fight me for real I'm literally going to gouge their eyes with my fingernails and twist their nuts off. for obvious reasons you don't see that in competition sports anymore.

>>1242361
Well if you read people who do train with guns they will tell you that most of their training is essentially one man kata, load, shoot reload, similar to kyudo and iaido, but they also do things like live fire exercises, and they also use special ammunition to essentially spar with guns. granted the last one is a modern innovation, but it has caught on.

.

>>1242394
but don't you understand? shooting someone with a gun isn't effective because you never practiced it by shooting live rounds at a resisting opponent

Sticks = Sticks != Sticks

Decide what you want to do. If you want to do sticks, competively or being useful in actual combat - do Escrima or likes.

If you want proper martial art training and technique - do staves, either Chinese or Japanese.

If you just want to bash armoed enemy with a stick - do Kendo.

If you want fencing - decide which school: historical sword fencing, rapier fencing, olympic fencing and train accordingly, while getting correct equipment.

You wouldn't even be able to point the fucking thing at him if he was that close, just swing it at him. Hence, the knife has the upper hand.

All of those weapons have a time and place where they're most useful. You wouldn't pick the pistol to pick off a guy 50 metres away, and you wouldn't pick the sniper rifle in a close range fire fight.

Same applies for martial arts. Time, place and situation make one more preferable than another.

way to not be able to differentiate the martial art from the sport, sorry you received shit training but you are just being ignorant if you deny high level TKD fighters exist, and thrive in MMA.
Just because you're terrible and your mom got scammed by a guy over at the strip mall isn't indicative of the overall effectiveness of a system.

I don't even do TKD, I only briefly trained with TKD people when I was out of town for a few months and needed a place to work out. I see it as something with holes, if I worked inside I could easily take over with my hands, but in order to do that you have to survive a blitz of lighting fast kicks coming from all sorts of wacky fucking directions, and then not get spaced out before inflicting your damage

You guys seem to know your shit, so I'll ask.

I've been doing boxing for some time. Knocked some sense into a fair share of people in my time, but I would like something that was purely meant for street-fighting.

From what I've seen, fancy kicking and grappling is not effective, so Systema, some knock-off Karate, or anything like that is out of the window.

Is there some martial art where you mainly use your fists, with some occasional stomp to the knee, or a stomach?

Thanks in advance.

>>1244553
>but I would like something that was purely meant for street-fighting.
Goju Karate is actually pretty good for street fighting.

>>1244553
>grappling is not effective
This is completely untrue

But basically, arts designed to be "purely for street fighting" are 100% shit.
The effective martial arts are the ones which regular sparring and competition.
Boxing is a great choice.

Generally we recommend the following striking arts:
>Boxing
>Kickboxing
>Muay Thai
>Kyokushin
>Sanda
And the following grappling arts:
>Judo
>Jiu Jitsu
>Wrestling
>Sambo

If you want to be effective, do both a grappling art and a striking art.

>>1244553
From the nose up she's actually pretty cute.

She would be like 5-6/10 at most, if she had a chin. Poor girl - at least nobody will be able to knock her out

I want to git gud at fighting, my gym usually has 3 classes a day, each of them an hour. I switch between them so on one day I would end up taking 2 Muay Thai Classes and one BJJ class, then the other day I'd take 1 Muay Thai Class and 2 BJJ Classes.

What should I do in terms of diet? I'm currently 5'6 153lb, should I focus on gaining muscle or losing weight?

When it comes to conditioning I'm pretty bad, some things people have brought up are running and bag work, what else can I do to condition well and are there programs out there specifically for wanna be fighters?

>arts designed to be "purely for street fighting" are 100% shit.
you realize how that doesn't make sense, right? you're saying systems designed to be as practical as possible are less effective than the ones designed with sport in mind

here is my litmus test
does it require you to limber up for a couple of minutes to operate at 100%? then your chosen style is shit for street fights

Just do MMA, but focus on striking. Doing a striking and a grapping art doesn't mean you know how to blend the two. Not to mention how you could save money while essentially practicing 3-8+ different marital arts all crafted up into one very good hybrid martial art.

this

you learn how to deal with punches and kicks in kickboxing.
you don't learn how to deal with knives, baseball bats, 2-5 opponents (anymore than 5, and a large majority of people a good amount of the time won't be able to handle the situation well, in part due to the lack of multi-man sparring done on a regular basis), and any combination of weapons, opponents, and situations.
