Crisco Kid posted:Anybody familiar with schools around the Triangle area in North Carolina? I just moved up about a week and half ago, and I want to get settled and find some steady income before I fully commit to training. Still, I'd like to get a shortlist of places to visit. Forged Fitness is an incredible school with really great people. They're a part of Team ROC; there's another branch of Team ROC in Chapel Hill (http://www.chapelhilljiujitsu.com/) which is pretty much just BJJ. There's also Triangle Jiujitsu in Durham (http://www.trianglejjdurham.com/), which has some good guys, and a newer school, Saunders BJJ (http://www.saundersbjj.com/joomla1/home-durham-nc) which I've never been to before. Oh, and UNC has a pretty good Judo club, though it's tricky to get inside. Comrade_Robot fucked around with this message at 14:26 on Aug 10, 2011 |

That argument is the dumbest thing ever because someone who does MMA can also gouge someone's eyes, and will be much better at doing so than someone who doesn't train in striking, grappling, and wrestling.

there was a video on youtube from those horrible felony fight video guys with an MMA fighter and some dude who was suppose to be a street fighter. The fight was over in about 3 minutes and ended up with the MMA guy on top of the "street fighter" refusing to hit him anymore because he was afraid of causing permanent damage to the guy's face and brain. The video is probably still floating around if you care to look.

gently caress yess, did my second ever crucifix yesterday! This is the most fun technique ever to pull off while sparring. then you can just slowly grab their collar and start choking them. How fun is that!

Due to a combination of things, I appear to have kind of lost my drive to train, I only did like four classes last month, and I haven't trained at all this month. I don't know what's up, but after falling out of the schedule it seems hard to get back in again. Maybe I need to consciously decide to take a break.

You see it in their eyes that there's less and less blood going to their brain. Until they tap and you have to let go.  Ok, I think I might have a problem

You might have to take a break before you re-dedicate yourself. There's some sort of malaise that sets in if you're at the grind for a long time and you don't seem to be making much progress.

You could try another martial art or team sports rec leagues or even something like yoga/Pilates. If you stop training all together it becomes super hard to get back into the swing of things. I am able to train Judo extremely irregularly because of knee pain. Before I started filling in those gaps in training with something else it was very hard to motivate myself to return to Judo when the pain was gone.

Is it more like : my mother died so I didn't want to do anything for a few weeks and now I have trouble getting back in. Or more like : no progress, it's always the same thing? Anyway, I'd do what Office Sheep is recommending. I also have trouble getting back into training after a real "break". You just feel so lethargic you don't want to do anything and find excuses all the time

Ya do something else that is beneficial yet different. I would still try to train at least once per week or every other week to keep some level of skill, but the rest of the time go do Yoga or Xfit or a different MA. Maybe try swimming or biking? Climbing?

I think what it comes down to is a lot of the level one "combatives" training the Army does is basic techniques for chokes, joint locks, and positions. It doesn't go into a lot of striking, so I think the thought process must go like this: "Since all we're learning is how to wrestle someone and choke them out, they just need to gouge our eyes, tear our ears, or fight dirty and they win." Except that that's all taught at the more advanced levels which most people don't get into since Army Combatives are a once a year or once a deployment time waster, rather than an actual program to teach people a martial art.

I don't know what's up, but after falling out of the schedule it seems hard to get back in again. Maybe I need to consciously decide to take a break. Hmmm. Well I just had a 6 week break from technique and sparring classes. I didn't really plan it, but consciously put other stuff first on my list of priorities. After I managed that it ended up turning for the best I think. I had so much on my mind (and so many other things to do) over the summer that I felt like spending late evenings doing something else altogether for once. At first I had sort of a bad conscience, which is, of course, foolish, because I'm only missing out on my personal training, but one of the instructors pointed out (the quite obvious) fact that the group or the club are not going to suddenly disappear even if I'm off having a beer or swimming in a lake or something for a month or two, which was when I re-organized my priority list. Instead I spent the time doing a couple of easy early day heavy bag or pad sessions a week while instructing between two to four classes (you get to do the stretching and calisthenics along!). Throw in the occasional kettlebell routine and other poo poo I don't usually indulge in. (Like partying too much.) Just came back from the first advanced technique & sparring class in 1.5 months, never felt better, had a ton of fun even though my distancing was a bit off and - this happens every-single-time you take time off - it wasn't nearly as challenging nor was I even close to as out of shape as I thought I might be. Woooo! Also my motivation right now is back to sky high. So what I'm saying is what the other guys are saying above, maybe re-organize your priorities, make the decision to do something else for a month or two. And in case you did, don't ever whip yourself over not attending classes, it makes it worse. Rather have it the other way around, I've got something else on my mind so I'm happy I can choose to do something else. Ligur fucked around with this message at 21:23 on Aug 10, 2011 |

I would probably not do it anyway, with how sensitive lots of schools are to the risks involved. Yeah, remember that at least in the midwest, the highschool football and wrestling teams tend to be a lot of the same guys, since the seasons don't overlap. That 320 lb linebacker isn't too unlikely to have 4 years of sprawling under his belt.

To steal another quote on this guy from elsewhere...Link here "Some random thread on bullshido... posted:To the best of my understanding, which is various judo gossip things, there is no doubt that Sensei Porter is an extremely talented judoka. As I recall (again, judo gossip), at some point it was felt that the main judo governing body was holding rank back from deserving Americans (arguably true), and this was remedied by the formation of another judo governing body, which then perhaps went a bit overboard, leading to charges of rank inflation. (I mean Yamashita is what, a fifth dan?) It is not the first or last time that some extremely talented person have or develop a significant and glaring character flaw... People who are very talented and have worth of character seem lacking these days. Senor P. fucked around with this message at 07:25 on Aug 11, 2011 |

I just checked, over my 1.5 months of absenteeism I took part in some 35 different classes, though some 20 were in the role of an instructor. That's when "I don't train". Ok I guess it's official: I live at a gym. No wonder the woman who sleeps in the same bed with me at nights complained I'm not available

I think the reason I've been out of it could easily be that it feels a bit like a grind with little progression, but KingColliwog was close! I won't go too deep into it since this is the martial arts thread, but basically my grandmother is dying from leukemia, I had to break up with my girlfriend, I'm currently between jobs (although this is just temporary, I'm waiting for my position to clear up), and I'm not entirely impressed by my own jits. Trying something else has been on the back of my mind for a while. I've considered a night or so a week of regular kickboxing or even boxing just to mix it up, but I'll have to wait until I have a job again at least. It'll all work itself out.

Also, I really dislike watching videos of fights through a wire fence. I don't understand why people find that appealing.

This is only a problem with amateur ringside footage where you have to take what you can get. Aired fights generally have several cameras above the fence for an excellent view.

My current kneepads are actually very low profile already but uncomfortable and don't offer much protection. I was hoping for something thicker that could protect my knees more when I do a drop seoi or fall on my knees. It's entirely likely that I just have a really lovely pair and this would still be an improvement. How am I supposed to size these things If I'm buying online? Is there a reference guide for leg measurements anywhere? Edit: Never mind. I found a measurement table.

That 320 lb linebacker isn't too unlikely to have 4 years of sprawling under his belt. That club is at Iowa State, right? There is a 100% chance that a linebacker will be someone who wasn't good enough for the wrestling team and they will take you down. A few things to do: 1) The honors program makes the freshman in it do a certain amount of on-campus stuff. Go in to Jischke and talk to them, see if you can get a demo. 2) See if you can get posters in at the dining centers. MWL, Hawthorne, the Hub and the UDCC are the big ones. 3) See if you can get some kind of a demo at veishea and homecoming. IIRC the weightlifting club got a bench and 135 lbs out there and had a contest to see who could lift the most and it helped get people. You'd probably have to have less of an interactive demo (maybe show a basic hip throw, let 100lb girls throw some 230lb guy) but it could work.
