I mean, it's not quite as bad as the demos where someone knocks someone out without touching them using chi power, so I guess it has that going for it.

That's absolutely insane. Tony's only hope is to use his extremely unorthodox style to surprise Khabib. Like hit him with some whacky strike from a weird angle that stuns him and then follow him down and lock up a Darce on the way or something. Trying to pull guard and attack sweeps and subs...

Wing chun devotee challenges Chinese MMA fighter and gets flattened in six seconds

There are a ton of "Muay Thai schools" in the US. But it seems that most of them have turned into cardio kickbox type joints where people do focus mitt drills, thai pad drills, maybe kick the thai bag some and that's it, no sparring. And a lot of the thai pad drills are long pre-arranged...

Likewise was expecting a thread on coffee. I am disappoint.

TMA bullshit repackaged as SECRET ELITE ISRAELI SPECIAL FORCES DEADLY TECHNIQUES to soccer moms and the sort of people who fall for MLM scams.

You're delusional if you think that practicing a kata is somehow preparing you for "self-defense". And if being "healthier" is your goal, there are far more effective and efficient methods for that, starting with lifting weights and running.

This. I started at 40, soon to be 46, just got my purple belt last year. I train at least 3 days a week, and when schedule permits 4-6 days a week. When some kid in the locker room is complaining about how they're getting old and can't train like they used to and then tell me they're 28 I...

Deaths (and even serious injuries) in Boxing and Muay Thai are fairly rare. Also, both sports have large amateur contingents that "do it for free". So I don't think that's the reason. IMO, it was the result of karateka having the "deadliness" of their art instilled in them since they started...

It's like old school smash pass and tozi pass birthed an offspring.

The historical aspect of how full contact karate/kickboxing came about in the US and Japan in the late 1960's is odd. Boxing has been a sport in the west with continuous bouts since 1681. Muay Thai has been a competitive sport in Thailand since the mid 1800's and has existed in its current...

I have no idea, I'm terrible with names of stuff. My point was just that it's the hooks holding you in, and you either clear the bottom one and slide over it or clear the top one and hip heist over the bottom one.

If we're talking hooks with back control (as opposed to body triangle) then there's two basic ways to escape and everything is a variation of one of those. 1) Bridge back into them, get your head and shoulders to the mat while peeling off the bottom hook, get your ass over that bottom leg and...

It's really nothing, I hit quadruple leg takedowns on my dog all the time.

Key phrase "if you let them". All martial arts are effective if your opponent "let's you" do what you want to do. Exactly. Most people will resist. A martial art that can't deal with resistance from your opponent isn't worth shit.

You know what I don't see in that video? A single drop of sweat on a person or on the mats. An hour and a half of training and everyone is bone dry. 20 minutes into BJJ class and everyone is soaking wet and the mats are like a swamp. Same with judo, wrestling, sambo, etc. That alone speaks...

Handfighting is part of every legit grappling sport out there. If it were possible to send a resisting opponent sailing through the air with a wristlock every time they grabbed you, you'd see it happen all the time in wrestling, judo, BJJ, etc. And yet you don't.

This video just popped up in my FB feed for some reason: I can't believe people actually think this shit is real and would work in real life. Does no one in these classes ever say "ok, this time I want you to actually hold onto my wrist for real and not just jump through the air when I turn...

I bet those teenage karate girls who run that Gracie Training Center are running out to get them for their blue belts. I think this is absolutely retarded. Give them the "coach" title sure, but there's no need to add red bars to their colored belts.
