>>41474175
Tae Kwon Do is fucking shit and I would advise against it.
T. Fag who spent 4 years doing Tae Kwon Do.

>>41474175
Bet u won't say it to my face irl fagit fire me irl

Il fookin rek u kiddo


did I do it right?

>>41474219
INDEED, I went a full year Tae Kwon Do and gained absouteley NOTHING. Maybe a bit more flexible legs but COMEON.

However BJJ is amazing. 4 months in and I feel like a new person.

>>41474175
anyone else lose all their gains after a few years just training boxing/grappling? Worth it but now I look skinny/dyel in a long sleeve shirt

>>41474219
>who spent 4 years doing Tae Kwon Do.

So when did it hit you you were wasting time?

>>41474282
>and gained absouteley NOTHING

Is it possible it was the class and instructor which was the problem?

What exactly were you 'training' for anyway? Poomsae? Sparring competitons? Doing fancy 540/720 degree kicks?

>>41474303
No. You obviously didn't adjust your intake and macros accordingly with your uptick in activity.

>>41474316
I'm talking 3+ years not lifting, just pushups and pullups

>>41474315
>So when did it hit you you were wasting time?
Roughly after 4 years.
Its just pansy shit and retarded crap like doing cartwheels, they only care about point fighting. I took one class of kickboxing afterwards and I could immediately feel the difference in priorities.

>>41474344
>Guys I lost muscle mass when I didnt do anything to maintain my muscle mass

Hectic revelation

>>41474344
Okay. You didn't adjust your intake or macros /and/ you stopped lifting. Of course you're going to lose your gains after three years. I've been, and still am, active in many martial arts for years, and I've only gained from training.

What's a good mixed routine for boxing and lifting? I've been doing boxing for about a year 4 days a week but haven't built up as much muscle as I wasn't since boxing isn't weight intensive. Would doing boxing every other day during week and lifting in between be solid? Weekends for rest?

>>41474175
What do ppl here think about Krav Maga?

krav maga is a meme

How does it feel that I could heem literally every single one of you in this thread

>>41475125
Well I haven't done shit all in weeks so pretty indifferent I guess.

how do i balance lifting and bjj? i want to train bjj 3x a week and still lift at least 4x a week, anyone with relevant experience?

>>41475173
Cut back on volume compared with a traditional program unless you're still in the noob gains phase, periodize, don't go heavy on more than one upper body and lower body lift per day unless you plan on competing in PL, periodize. Did I say periodize?

>>41474175
I'm thinking of starting a martial art for self-defence and confidence (Britfag so no weapon carry of any kind allowed), what should I choose? Atm I'm thinking Krav Maga and MMA for the contact sparring experience.

>>41475302
"MMA" isn't a martial art. It's a combination of them. Krav Maga is a good street combat form to start with, but it doesn't translate well to MMA.

>>41475302
Do boxing or kickboxing. As above said, MMA isn't a thing. Krav maga is rarely taught seriously and is more liable to kill someone, don't do it.

>>41475355
He's correct. MMA is a sport. Krav Maga, if you find a reputable gym teaching it, does not follow sportsmanship rules, and even some of its very intermediate to advanced training can seriously harm if not kill someone, though these are typically defensive reactionary manuevers that happen as a result of chokes and tackles to which many of the responses are head twisting, face stomping, and in the case of attackers with knives and guns, although it is often frowned upon for use in reality, you are taught to nullify the attacker with their weapon.

Promoting to brown in BJJ? Congrats. Lots of hard work.

>>41475459
Was promoted earlier this year, been a journey, 7 years training total.

>>41475474
Nice. How many competitions have you participated in?

>>41474219
This. I have a black belt in TKD. I got it when I was 17. I quit a year later when I started college and took up BJJ. That was 13 years ago. Since then, I've got my black belt in BJJ, blue in Judo, trained Muay Thai and MMA consistently. I've had 11 amateur K1 fights and 14 amateur MMA fights, and I've taken part in around 30 BJJ competitions (never won anything major, but won a few 2nds and 3rds at smaller regional competitions).
I do use TKD kicks now and again, and I feel like it gives me a little edge in MMA since most guys don't know how to check TKD kicks, but it wasn't worth 6 years of training, and it's never helped me finish a fight or even do any major damage - it just makes guys have to think a little bit more and that can give you a slight edge (Connor throws a few hook and spinning kicks for the same effect). I've got no reason to diss it. My Dad teaches TKD and my little bro is a former two-time national TKD champion. It's just not worth the effort when you could be putting the time into something much more effective.

When I said MMA isn't a thing I meant as a particular discipline. I've never heard of someone training MMA except by learning and mixing other concrete martial arts. But fair enough.

>>41475547
Yep. Wish I could say I was a brown belt ;)

>>41475528
>BJJ is worth every second spent training in it
It actually isn't. Sure, you meet a lot of people traveling around and competing, make lifelong friends, have people take you in when you're abroad, but it also tears your body apart - basically everyone competitor I know, who stuck to the sport, had a whole bunch of injuries. I'm not sure if there's a part of my body I haven't injured

>>41475564
It's cool, bro. There are literally gyms that teach "MMA". Like, here's some punches and kicks from Muay Thai, here are the BJJ techniques you need, and off you go!

>>41475568
Lol. I mean, I guess? My shoulder is fucked up from omoplata right now, but I should be back rolling by next week.

>>41474219
MY tkd supplements my muay thai very well. I'm a lot more agile kicker than most in my class

>>41475568
I've only had minor injuries training. Easy to recover if you don't push yourself beyond your limits. Take enough time off if you're injured.

I've had worse when competing, but then again I only do it about once a year so it's fine.

>>41475575
You're good to go tomorrow morning/evening

>>41475613
>Take enough time off if you're injured
True. But no one does this

>>41475570
I'm just personally wary of gyms that claim to do that, too many commercialized nonsensical ones that take advantage of people. But hey, if one is legit, sounds good!

Unrelated, how does one become a boxing instructor? Is there like a certification or something required through a test?

>>41475630
I'm not good to go tomorrow. My shoulder was popping on rotation. That has ceased, but it's still tight. Remember this guy?

>>>41475613
>>Take enough time off if you're injured
>True. But no one does this

That's you ;) I'm taking your advise.

>>41475632
I'm not aware of any specific certification for boxing instruction. This is typically earned by reputation and experience.

A meme. Whenever someone lists it as an effective martial art on this site, I immediately know they're larping.
Do people somehow imagine that someone trained in a legit martial art doesn't know how to fight dirty if their health is in jeopardy? You think we don't know that eye gouging, fish-hooking, head-stomping, and so on are part of the playbook if need be? You think a BJJ fighter doesn't know how to break someone's neck?
If you train at a proper Gracie aligned school, i.e. not a Barra gym where all the focus is on sports BJJ, you don't learn disarming techniques? Go watch the oldschool Gracie videos... All these techniques come from Judo (or, rather, old school JJ), where the premise was disarming your opponent of his katana.
>inb4 *real KM* is legit
Yeah, just like *real Aikido* and *real Wing Chun*. I bet someone out there knows *real Hokuto Shinken* too...
>inb4 it's just too dangerous to spar with or even show irl anon. That's why no rl vids have ever been uploaded to the internet of KM being used effectively
Yeah, I guess that's why every *real life* KM video takes you to a "real-life KM demonstration" video...
Think about it. You can find legit vids of real street fights where guys use boxing, BJJ, MT/KBing, wrestling, fuck, even Karate. But you can't find a single one showing effective use of KM.

What are good exercices to improve you speed?
I used to do a lot of fighting sports and my strength came from the fact that I was faster than most of the poeple who trained with me and was a good dodger.

I sparred with a friend a while ago and noticed I wasn't quick as I used to be. I have no idea what made me quick when I was younger but I want to train so I can be fast again.

Any advices?

>>41475708
When I practiced tkd, alot of your speed came from repetition and cardio. Obviously if you havent practiced in awhile, then your speed and endurance will be shit. You just need to practice for a month or so and muscle memory should kick back in for your body

>>41475703
You are an idiot. I've trained for years in Muay Thai, JKD, BJJ, and have three years of Krav Maga. Krav Maga isn't its own art, you fedora fucktard. It takes things from other arts. It does not have its own moves or style. It's a combat MMA of sorts being combined with some disarming movements, and different fight strategy that involves things that are counter to other arts like BJJ. In Krav you never want to go to the ground, no matter how great on the ground you are. Why? Because if you take me to the ground and are dominating me? My friend is going to stomp your face while you dick around with me on the ground trying for a submission.

You have no clue what you're talking about. Back to the mirror for another fedora try-on.

It gets mugged off all the time and almost rightly so. They take disarms from other martial arts like Aikido, add acouple of nut kicks and then market on how commando it all really is. They say they are "more martial, less art" but the same problem that applies to all "compliant" martial arts applies to Krav. Its all context heavy and situational: >attacker does "x" so you block, do this, then that, kick his nuts he WILL double over and you then do this, then that and run away.

To cut a long story a bit shoter anons, the rwally good martial arts are ironically the ones that get called "mere sports" now. These are the full contact resisiting ones like
Boxing
Kick boxong
Muaythai
Kyokushin karate
Wrestling
Catch wrestling
Sambo
Judo
BJJ
All "incomplete" and "sport heavy" sure, but they refine what they do through competitiok and make it work under pressure of resistence and someone wanting to do the same to you.

>>41475949
MMA is fucking brutal, it's basically "in da streetz " fighting inside a cage where trained martial artists are allowed to use the biggest dick moves from any art they practice, i'd never compete in it, it's worlds apart from competing in a competition for a specific art.

Not that guy anon, but come on thats ALL martial arts you are describing. Nothing new under the sun. Did you know that BJJ is actually closer to Judo than classic Ju-Jitsu? The Gracies were being taught Judo by a japanese Ne-waza (ground technuiqes) specialist but they Brazilians didn't have a proper word for Judo yet but they did know the word "jujitsu" so they called it that. Just like substituting "gi" for "kimono"

Genuine Krav Maga is great - it's just boxing, wrestling and a few random things thrown in.

But for every genuine, down to earth, IKMF/KMG/SAKMF accredited school, there's 10+ bullshit artists.

If they're not accredited with any of these schools, or the instructor isn't willing to show you his qualification, or if they use belts, then they're not genuine.

There's a couple of other quasi-genuine regulators, there's KMA, but they haven't improved the systems taught since they started, as their founder stopped giving a fuck/stopped training.
There's IKMA, they are Israel based and work with the IDF, but they don't give a fuck about civvie/LE shit, so it's not worth learning unless you're in the IDF and want to become an instructor on how to hit bags with a buttstock.

If anyone tells you any mysticism/pressure point bullshit, it's not real and they're bullshit artists.
If anything they try to teach you, doesn't make sense, or is like a choreographed dance performance, they're bullshit artists.

If you're taught anything other than how to punch, how to kick, passive/sp/active stance, basic footwork, basic groundwork/disengagement - then it's likely to be a McDoJo trying to butter you up.

To be fair.... I know what this anon is saying. The truth is, within the sport of MMA tgere is only the expectation for you to win within a specific rule set. No one tells you that you HAVE to make Muay Thai your striking component or that you HAVE to make BJJ your ground component. The expectation is for you to turn up and win fights whilst following the rules.

That said, there ARE common themes within MMA gyms when training fighters. We do see, consistently in gyms, a lot of:
Boxing
Muay thai
Wrestling
BJJ
And we do see these being then bought under specific training for "MMA" so yes, your gym might do Gi and No Gi BJJ, but that it FOR BJJ, when you take the MMA class it's in there but it's FOR MMA.

You don't seem to understand the distinction, do you?

A martial art would be categorised as a fighting style that actual focuses on fighting - hence "martial".
A modernist term would be "fighting system".

A fighting sport, is when one of these martial arts or fighting styles has been specialised towards sport.

A regulated sport is a what these become when they are incorporated into a league or competitive championship.

MMA is a sport, in which multiple martial arts compete.
It's in the name.

It is not hard to differentiate.

Learn Kickboxing instead.

>>41481416
Why?

>>41481413
But that's the defining difference between a fighting sport and a fighting style.

>>41481427
Because you're much more likely to end up at a McDojo are with a meme style like Savate.

Also, because only kicking isn't the best idea, and if you were to learn striking to go along with the Savate, you'd learn boxing - might as well cut out the middle man and learn Kickboxing.

>>41481431
>But that's the defining difference between a fighting sport and a fighting style.
So a "fighting style" is a complete useless thing considering the lack of real world application?
What's the point of defending it then when the inmeasurably superior "sport" decides to associate with that shit?

>>41480675
No, it's more like:
>I genetically engineered chicken and penguin into one bird.

>>41481508
Because Sports are great if you want to be competitive.
Pure fighting styles train a lot of things that are not relative to sports - positioning against multiple attackers, disengagement, escalation, reducing risk against armed attackers, weapons training, etc.

There's no rule saying you can't train both.

>>41481627
That'd be more akin to a hybrid martial art, not a sport that incorporates multiple martial arts.
MMA is not a standalone martial art.

>>41481694
>positioning against multiple attackers, disengagement, escalation, reducing risk against armed attackers, weapons training, etc.

This is the standard strip mall krotty/JKD nonsense answer that I get from all of the TMA cucks whose senseis went into hiding/depression after UFC 1 shattered their egos (why this didn't happen during the Vale Tudo era, I will never know). The things you mentioned are things that an unarmed combative art, with the purpose of disabling an opponent with your bare hands, is frankly inefficient at teaching you. Travel back in time and join fucking West Point if you want to train in weapons training or "escalation", which sounds like a cop's version of a buzzword. Or better yet, learn a lesson from watching how cops handle these frightening issues like multiple attackers, which is to just call in for backup because they at least have the common sense to not pretend to LARP.

MMA is a martial art. It is young, but it is a style of fighting that incorporates multiple styles of fighting. It is a "pure fighting style", regardless of your needlessly picky definition of what a fight is and what a style is. Just for the sake of curiosity, what martial art do you believe teaches you these skills with such proficiency that you would be able to reliably defend yourself in such a situation involving fighting off 5 separate manifestations of Batman armed with shotguns?

leg hurts like shit when I kick something but is fine otherwise, what do

check'd some lowkicks with the muscle on the right side of the right shin and it swole up for like 2 weeks. Now it's fine again since a month and I have full mobility, can run, etc. It hurts a little sometimes when I extend my foot.

But whenever I hit the pad or bag with it it hurts like shit. should I massage it?

Does anybody have personal experience from McDojos? I don't think we have those in my country, but we have certain MA sports that are pretty much just choreography.

Where do you live? I'm kyokshin brown belt and trained in the UK, lots of dojos. Mainly south east but still some dotted round country

I'm also interested in how people fit martial arts training around lifting.

Does anyone else have an opinion on this?

Is it best to lift on the same day as training then keeping the rest days in between?
Or should I alternate and lift mon wed fri and train tue thur sat?

>>41479309
I watched a guy from one of the mcdojos come in the other night. The head of where I train is former israeli military and pretty nice but doesn't take kindly to people coming in and fucking around.

He sent one of the well trained women in and she cleaned the guys clock. I don't get why you walk around being a shithead in a place where everyone is trying to better themselves and think you wont get your ass handed to you on the mat.

Its cool to see other people doing other forms of training besides muh lifting bullshit though. Good luck fitizens

>>41480407
Daniel, pls...

Let me explain this shit for you.

>Positioning against multiple attackers
Real simple shot, that has no place in competition, so it is not taught in boxing, bjj, muay thai, etc.
All it means is learning how to move when multiple people are attacking you, to prevent getting mobbed - it's not some mystical bullshit to allow you batman 5 people, it's just avoiding getting swarmed immediately, to allow you to GTFO without getting raped.
>Disengagement
Has no place in competition, disengagement is disengaging from the fight and de-arsing the area; it's all about learning how to use angles to get a minutia advantage in running away. It saves way more lives than teaching some 150lb DYEL or a 120lb woman how to just punch - they're nor gonna win a fight, but they can survive/avoid getting raped by getting away.
>Escalation
Important for self defense, particularly from a legal perspective - not taught in competitive martial arts.
>Reducing risk against armed attackers.
Shit can save your life, and allow you to survive long enough to run away - not taught in competitive martial arts.

Etc, etc.

There's a big difference in these, it's about survival rather than competition.

>>41484900
>Former Israeli Military
Be careful, a lot of people use that as a tag line - if you're from Israel you're going to be former Israeli military; and what recruits are taught is entirely different from what you would be taught.

If you can, ask him whether he's IKMA/IKMF/KMG/SAKMF and ask for proof of his qualification - any genuine instructor knows how prolific mcDojos are and will.not be offended.

>>41485525
Yeah that wouldn't fly where I am. The jews would be on his ass so fast for claiming to be one of them and he wasn't. You wouldn't get the clearance to open a gym with those kinds of credentials if you were lying about it as there are too many permits and other gov't documents.

He's legit and had his paperwork plus I'd imagine claiming to be one of them would probably get you a nice phone call or visit from IDF seeing as thats probably a crime to say you're former military or not. Anyway, I don't know how guys fight at 250 or 260 under 6 ft but kudos to them

>>41485698
Mate, be careful, there was that Tony Robinson looking motherfucker who claimed to have invented Krav Maga and he got like 50 TV spots over a decade.

And I wasn't questioning him being in the IDF, every Israeli has been.
And the IDF doesn't give a shit, again that Tony Robinson motherfucker claimed to be in Sayerat Matkel and to of fought off like 1,000 Syrians and it was years before anyone at Discovery/History/Various news channels that thought to investigate that obvious bullshit.

It took years for the IDF to comment because they don't care about scam artists in the rest of the world.

Ask to see his paperwork, ask what federation you're associated with.

Hey bros to put my two cents in , I strongly believe that BJJ is meme , its only for people who dont like being slamed or cant do judo due to injuries.
Ive been training in martial arts since i was 12 i started with Wado ryu , then muay thai after that daido juku kudo (its kinda like karate mma) , after that ive picked up Judo . I think that realy there isnt any need to go such in depth in ground fighting as they do in bjj and neglecting everythin else , i believe that if you learn judo in good judo you will learn more than enough ground work to deal with oponents , btw im thinkin next year to start participating in bjj tournaments too besides the judo ones any tips ?

>>41485870
appreciated he's legit so im good. i like the training but im not sure how people are doing that 5 days a week and doing powerlifting splits. they must eat like horses or be geared up. I have a newfound respect for fighters that for sure.

>>41486463
What federation is he with, what's his grade?
I'm not being a cunt, I'm just genuinely concerned.
These people tell people they're training them to survive, but a lot of the time they're scam artists and will get people killed.

Case in point, there was a guy in my city claiming to teach Krav Maga as it is taught to the military - turns out he had 7 lessons from my instructor total, all of them basic class (different classes are held for different grade student, upgraded, Practitioner, Graduate, Expert (though our only Expert ranked person is the head instructor, so that class isn't held for obvious reasons)) - he was teaching people to place the web of their thumb and forefinger between a hammer and slide as a totally legit way of doing a pistol disarm.
AFAIK he's still teaching people that bullshit.

>>41485917
>btw im thinkin next year to start participating in bjj tournaments too besides the judo ones any tips ?
Well since BJJ is a meme you will do fine in those tournaments bro. Good luck ;)

>>41486624
basicly the tips id like are more about penalties and shit , in judo randori in the most stuff you will also fall in your opponent with your body weight while performing the throw and i heard that that is penalized or somethin in the bjj competitions .

>>41475740
id still fuck you up twink

>>41487479
>t. Guy who wears tapout merch.

What he's saying is valid, you could be Gracie himself, but if some 120lb drug fuck scoop kicks you in the side of the head when you're grappling his drunk friend, you're down - you could fucking die.

>>41487608
oh i didnt read the full post kek, yeah i agree

Do some style with actual fighting luke mma and combine with a style that has introspection, like taiji.

Krav maga is dumb, I've kicked the shit out of most people who claim to do it at my gym.

>>41487692
>Krav maga is dumb, I've kicked the shit out of most people who claim to do it at my gym.
Because most people are either lying hipsters or are victims of McDojos.

It's basically just boxing/wrestling with a few altered Muay Thai kicks and some judo.

If you want to see what real Krav Maga is about - in a 1V1 sense, just go do some kickboxing - it's simple and it works.

BJJ male vs. female sparring is fucking shit.

>be 180 cm / 90 kg (5'9'' / 200 lbs for you amerifats)
>have to spar with 60-70 kg gurls
>start on top or on the ground, doesn't matter, they can't do shit
>literally try to help them out by lowering my guard and doing nothing
>can't budge me from any mount
>they just struggle in vain until they tire
>don't even break a sweat
>in the end they don't have any chance in preventing what I'm going to do with them
>mfw I realize this must be how most rapes play out

Anybody have experiences doing BJJ etc. with women? We're still newbs with about 3 months experience tho, but don't women nevertheless suck even if they had same experience level and weight / height ratio as the male opponent? Could a real small but experienced female BJJ fighter beat a much larger but not as experienced male fighter or is it just a meme?

They have nice tits tho, I'd suckle and play with those babies, put my face in between, blow and do a bit of BRBRBRBBRBRB with my mouth.

>>41485917
I'm afraid you will get murked at those competitions. But try them anyways.

>>41488995
Holy fuck, sauce?

>>41488995
Try sparring with girls who won medals on big IBJJF/UAEJJF tournaments. You won't stand a chance.

>TFW want to do kickboxing and MMA but I also don't want brain damage
Wha do?
