    Concussions

    You need a better facilitator for this type of training. You best learn inside fighting before attempting it again. In the mean time... go see a doctor, and stop sparring for awhile...

    Which one should I train

    Personally, for me I've found that BJJ tends to be the most consistent throughout, look at trainer's lineage (who their teachers are, any feats, etc). Kickboxing, I'd avoid, unless the trainer has trained in Thailand before, and have fights under his belt. For MMA it's wild.... gotta do your...

    Why does this happen sometimes when i hit the heavybag?

    Much like pivoting on the foot for a kick, you build callouses over time where it then no longer bleeds. Of course the hands are a much more visible surface area, and in the age of beauty I would suggest you just put some gloves on and keep your hands looking pretty. Not like this <{JustBleed}>

    Karate blackbelts in MMA

    Ya Karate is legit especially those that allow strikes to the head. Problem with Karate in the states however is the wide spread McDojoism that ruins the reputation of karate as a whole. Most American karate gyms have kids reciting some creed that borders a cult, of course i understand they need...

    Bruce Lee karate match recorded

    I'll let you be the judge

    What are your thoughts on the way she kicks? I think this is the second time I've seen someone kick without swinging the arm.

    Increasing amounts of misleading trainers

    It is the consumers initiative to educate themselves. But, yes i agree, plenty of mcdojos around where i live. Heard of a few folks at a local gym attain a Judo brown belt in less than a year strange considering in Japan it probably would've taken at least a couple of years. Also, noticing a...

    20 years ago

    Imo, socio-economic class a person is born into is quite a huge determining factor in the production of champions. Not to be controversial here, but just look at any pro combat athlete from any country. A pattern you will see is that most originate from the poverty stricken parts of their...

    MT teep vs MMA teep

    Which has better technique? I would say MT. For one i think Westerners have stiff hips due to sitting on toilet bowl and sitting all day in cubicle. Thai fighters, Asians in general seem more flexible in lower areas. More flexible lower area mean more control over strike with use of lower body...

    decline of the teep in combat sports

    Teep if done correctly should be like a jab. Low risk, high reward strike that opens multiple avenues for attack and defense. The problem i see is folks use it like Leonidas kicking the Persian guy down the pit. They then get their leg caught and begin writing off the move as a whole rather than...

    Kicked in the nuts sparring

    Very rare. On occasions that i do i just mentally block it out and keep going. Usually, the guys are wearing shinpads anyway, and most are decent to not kick crazy hard in sparring. Also, its smart to avoid the “r*tard strength” guys if possible or the ones that throw spinning strikes with no...

    Throwing hard while sparring?

    When i spar less experienced guys i focus on fundamentals like jab, teeps, etc. Against, guys who i feel are more skilled i try to use my entire arsenal and also trying new stuff out every so often.
