are yes, the old pretentious twat routine. i give you a three out of five for your opening move. must be great sitting there musing about shit you have never done before. what are you some kind of string theorist? i was just simplifying something and you had to act like you knew better, when you clearly don't have a clue. how many sprawls have you busted out in street fights anyway. because i know from experience that it is easier said than done when in a crowded situation or if you are out weighed by your opponent.
Why specify 'knees or uppercuts' in particular? Because...
a lot of untrained people will try to charge at you and tackle if it looks like you know how to punch
Certainly. So you have someone shooting in on your hips. What do?
To which a most highly esteemed and august mind might reply...
You'd be a lot more reliable with the simple prosaic choice of learning how to sprawl and keep your balance
Compared to betting the farm on a 'lucky' shot that is.
Ah except wait never mind, you didn't mean that at all when you said
a lot of untrained people will try to charge at you and tackle if it looks like you know how to punch, that's were the knee or uppercut come in.
We're talking *underhooks* now all of a sudden! Well that's definitely a topic i can get behind though, love me some underhooks in the clinch. Can't go wrong with them, great way to set up knees and uppercuts, especially if you can pin them against a wall or other surface.
People really should know better; didn't their mothers ever teach them to read the minds of their interlocutors, obviating the need to use crude
words to express their specifications?
>see when i said 'that's where the knee or uppercut come in', what i
meant was, pull out your sig and double tap him center mass, mozambique drill on the head,
then come in with the knees and uppercuts, just to stay safe and make sure.
>you never said anything about any of that though
>i didn't say
not to do it, did i?
Honestly, it's just expected, you know?
Ah except wait never mind, turns out we weren't talking about underhooks
either, and in fact, it turns out we actually weren't talking about people shooting in for tackles at all in the first place! They just don't 'come up much' you know? Never mind that stuff earlier about people shooting in for panic tackling when they see themselves getting pieced up. It's all about those collar ties now.
And snap downs! Certainly no relation to
sprawling in any way (and never mind how you go down into a front head lock with them in practice), as we know, snap downs are performed on someone standing in a more neutral posture! If you were to do it on someone who has already changed levels, it would be a down block! Ah hrm, except wait, you
were talking about it in relation too 'a better option if someone shots low in a street fight'. A puzzle! Oh, but once again this just clearly demonstrates the superiority of being able to
read each others minds.
Clearly, any impression of confused rhetorical ejaculations concerning dimly understood technical dynamics is naught but
reader error!. Indeed, i fully agree! As i myself even mentioned earlier, guillotine chokes or related variations thereof are highly useful, and to get a guillotine choke on someone it's great to have snapdowns, a supremely useful wrinkle to have in ones gameplan; in the ring or in proving to the babes that you're the toughest speedo wearing motherfucker on the copa cabana beach.
Ah except wait never mind, forget all those times we said we weren't saying the things we said, turns out we were actually talking about
all of these things,
at once; in a sort of quantum super-position across time if you will, irrespective of whatever contingencies may be implied by the temporally successive record of our
actual words. Such are not to be given any great weight, as we have demonstrated presently.
Alternately, it could be a case of someone gracelessly backtracking themselves, projecting and arguing deeper and deeper into a hole with each outing because they just
gotta fire back for the sake of argument rather than finding a stool to step off their horse with, ultimately resorting to throwing anything and everything at the wall to see what sticks. 50/50 tossup either way id say.
This is a wall of all your own making pretty much. Lol.
You might have rejoined gracefully to the first post, and we could perhaps have had a nice conversation, acknowledging the validity of one point in relation to an earlier one, while bringing up an additional scenario or set of circumstances which could have implications on the topic.That's what we want right? Since all of us here are (presumably) enthusiasts of combat sports and martial arts in general. Or at least, a very brief one by acknowledging a point and simply leaving it at that. Or even not replying at all.
When you gave the impression that you were hallucinating and actually meant things you never said, i thought it was somewhat weird and impolite; a rather artless and uncouth method to save face in fact. I didn't want to 'pull the trigger' just like that though, and to be charitable i only highlighted it in a roundabout manner while giving you a potential out to take to save some honor.
Of course, you didn't take it, and proceeded to drive on heedlessly through the rockslide with yet another switch in argument track. Leaving us where we stand now, such as it is. Well, i am standing at least. Here's your reply.
