So for you wrestlers in here, what are your opinions on this medieval grappling game? Look, thou, and see: how men in the past would wrestle in the hole. One stands in the hole and may not remove his leg from it and his opponent must hop on one leg. Much art comes of this and it is funny to see.   It's basically a limited game. The objective is to, depending on your role, force the guy whose foot must stay on the mark to move that leg, or force the guy whose foot is off the ground to touch the ground. Or for either person to throw the other person without breaking their own limitation. The guy on the mark can really only pivot and the other can hop around freely. It's found in a few places, but the most common reference is this: http://wiktenauer.com/wiki/Fabian_von_Auerswald A flying piece of fucked around with this message at 21:08 on Sep 13, 2012 |

kimbo305 posted:What art/style is the school? Kajukenbo. We did no kicks below the belt or to the head (as if I could). No throws, just light contact. It is an ok school. It fits my needs well. I posted a bunch about it on bullshido. The guy I was working with is a brown belt and a little bit taller than me. It was a great sparring experience. I felt very slow and heavy.

My friend Gabe Varga had his K-1 debut last weekend at the LA K-1 Rising show, and the internet is buzzing about what a bright future is expected for him. He begged for this fight, and he was considered a huge underdog going in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1R6vncsC8w What I find particularly special about him is that he loves to train everyday, keeps his own private camp/team, and doesn't take any sort of enhancements. No protein power, no pre-workout, no coffee, etc. He tries to eat healthy balanced meals, spends most of the days leading up to a fight sleeping, and doesn't party or use substances/alcohol. If he feels lethargic from over-training, than he just shows up at the gym anyway and trains at a less intense level. He is easily the most talented person I've ever sparred with, and even with my huge height/reach advantage he makes me look silly. He's also one of the nicest people that I know, and extremely humble. I hope this video makes all of you fans of him as well.

Ironically I've never gotten it from training, and gotten it twice from the nasty rear end hospital in Birmingham. Also, just found out a guy I used to train with, Marcus Brimage, was on Ultimate Fighter and also on the undercard for the next UFC. He was a goofball and a blue belt back then, awesome to hear he's done so well.

KingColliwog posted:That said, I'm up for anything that could potentially work in a judo match. As long as it's within the rules/won't get a mate called I don't mind the move being considered too slow to pull off in a competition. Depending on how high your knee is, arm drags, loop chokes, underhook back takes, triangles off of either side, omoplatas (questionably legal in judo, definitely not legal as submissions) and inverted arm bars are options. Full guard scissor is a bit more defensive minded to me, I play a lot of high knee half guard because I find it to be a better sweeping position.

McNerd posted:What's the latter? in the scissor sweep normal position, instead of going for the cross collar grip, you go over his shoulder and grab as deep as possible (bellow the other side shoulder can work, but if you can go down to his hip by sitting up it's ever better). I usually get this grip after a failed scissor sweep while my opponent is posting his arm but you can go straight for it I guess. Then you just break his posture with your grip, roll slightly to the opposite side of a regular scissor sweep and open your hips instead of doing the regular scissor motion. If you have your right knee in you sweep him to your right. DOes this make sense? Try youtubing "reverse scissor sweep" there's a few videos that have techniques similar to what I do. I don't do it often, but I find it good to do right after a normal scissor sweep if you almost got it.

Just running around like he can just be lazy with his hands down and WHAM! I guess I just like watching cocky people lose. I'm not one to critique fights.....I need to take notes on his stance. Nice and calm. Hands never stay down. I stand similar but I have a problem with telegraphing my kicks and bouncing my lead leg too much - no one taught me this, I don't know why I do it. I think I have too much weight in my back foot. I finally broke the habit of moving my hands too much.

I can't find the official weights right now, but it was within 5-10 lbs. I think Lersila was 135 and Gabe was 140-5 He was cocky because the career record comparison going in to the fight was completely lopsided. It was a huge step-up in competition experience for Varga, but he does hold 9 international titles. Lerdsila Chumpairtour (135-15-5) vs. Gabriel Varga (20-1) (And that one loss is highly disputed, with the audience booing the judges after the result).

Thai fight records tend to be lopsided a bit, since they count nearly every fight in a ring regardless of circumstances. And in thailand you can fight 2, 3, 4 times per week. If he had 135 officially sanctioned matches, he'd be a lot better than he fought (not that he was that bad, but no where near 135 fights good)

It sounds like the fathers banded together to keep the guy away from the kids, which is smart. As talented as everyone in this thread is, verbal de-escalation does not usually get addressed in class, neither does training on how to deal with the mentally ill, and typically only the police (local and federal) get any kind of access to hostage training.

Related: I actually think it'd be sweet if martial artists lived in an Ip Man world where instructors and students could pop into any random gym and challenge eachother for funsies. But it would also be a huge clusterfuck and insurance nightmare, not to mention one or two big decent guys could probably mma their way to victory no matter what. gently caress I miss the gym

KingColliwog posted:Can anyone give me ideas on what to do once in a "scissor guard". It's my go to guard when I start to feel pressured and while I'm good at doing the scissor sweep (both the normal one and the "reverse scissor" one if that's what it's called), people are starting to catch up and are good at defending against it by now. They rarely pass me, but I always have to go back to regular open guard to start pushing pressure on people again. That's fine I guess, but I'd like to add a couple of new tricks to my scissor guard since I feel so drat comfortable in it. Coming from a no-gi perspective, there's a good triangle from that scissor guard a la: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyUQ4ax7bJY And it is very very quick and sneaky.

^I really like that knee move. I've been working on it a lot lately because it's a big part of the Melanson stuff (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGlLGc8zTbc) and it's a perfect compliment to the "shins on biceps" spider guard.

I reviewed Redline for you in the Boston thread. You check it out? Saw in your history you want out of striking. I guess the BJJ is more limited than a pure BJJ place. The place that was Gracie-affiliated deaffiliated but is presumably still a good place.

It's probably in the cards when my training gets more serious and consequently more diverse to be honest. I'll do some digging into Wai Kru and probably the Jimmy Pedro place even though I'm on bicycle transit these days. Just needed a few leads without sifting through tons of chaff online. Much obliged.

A flying piece of posted:So for you wrestlers in here, what are your opinions on this medieval grappling game? Medieval grappling is weird, especially the stuff that's meant to be done in armour. One line from a manual that sticks in my memory is something like "place your foote behind the foote of your opponent, and press ye hard into his chest with thine shoulder. When he falleth, falleth upon him with thine knee in his groine, the better to hurte him. Then worke toward his visor with thine dagger". There were diagrams of the tripping, the ball kneeing, and the eye stabbing. The vikings had two wrestling type games. With the first one, you both start with one hand on a short stick, and the first person to submit or let go of the stick loses. The only other rule is "no weapons". The second is less fun - you both stand with feet planted at shoulder width and your fingers interlocking with your opponent's fingers. The first person to submit, break grip, or lift a heel off the ground loses.

It's rather common as duders start getting drunk. Around here it's now called 'mercy', from what you say to give in. The vikings did two other types of wrestling as well. Glima wrestling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVGB1Z3btIY Water Wrestling, for which this quote will have to do: "The idea was to keep the opponents head under water until he gave up. These matches often lasted for hours and were the most popular form of swimming competition." This is what happens when people don't have the Internet.

Glíma(it's just the icelandic word for wrestling) is still practised in Iceland today, it's still taught in schools to the kids, it's quite fun as it has much more limited position than other wrestling so it's quick to learn. It's only shown on TV during the national championships so here are some highlights from the last thirty years as it's the best I could find. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_haS_FaTekE Ignore the lovely music.
