Rabhadh posted:Pissing at night is part of getting old, stop drinking 2 hours before bed and start watching/listening to something relaxing until you just fall asleep. I watch/listen/read something until my eyelids get heavy. Well my problem isn't getting to sleep - I'm so loving exhausted that isn't an issue ( and if it were there's always melatonin or whatever ). It's the *staying* alseep/not waking up in a pool of sweat/not waking up hungry that I'm trying to aim for. I suppose it's a testament to how much energy I burn rolling around on the ground. I used to think I pushed myself hard at the gym before I started BJJ but it is comical how little I was really doing in comparison. Thoguh posted:That seems describe the aftermath of a night of heavy drinking. That is...remarkably accurate. Nearly dying, hanging out with a group of people who want to kill you but you all get along anyway, can barely remember what you did/going over the night to see how badly you embarassed yourself, entire body hurts....

How long have you been doing bjj? Its possible you're getting really amped on adrenaline and the comedown is causing these problems. Eventually, you should even out and maybe the disrupted sleep and night sweating will stop. I mention this because I had my first sparring day at Muay Thai practice Saturday morning and got the adrenaline come down hard. Almost all of Saturday I had basically flu like symptoms, including some sweating some nausea, body aches combined with a weird unfocused yet antsy feeling. I would fall asleep and come to really erratically as well while trying to watch a movie. Eventually when I realized what was happening, I drank a ton of water a glass of green tea and went to sleep for 20 minutes. Woke up as a normal person again. Same symptoms as after a few hours from my first couple of bjj tournaments and their after effects. I assume after a few reps it will diminish. EDIT: Was not a concussion, I am pretty sure, I only got hit hard a couple of times and never lost consciousness saw stars or any of that.

I've had a ton of friends (and myself) with issues waking up in the middle of the night all muscles tensed and sometimes also sweating profusely. One friend regularly wakes up on the floor after grappling with beadsheets (I've mentioned this before IIRC, since this topic comes up regularly). It's not unnatural or even rare. It goes away. I think it mostly happens when you start stressing your mind and body with some new skill/thing like full contact sparring or rolling at high gee, or doing exercises that completely wreck you physically because they are something your nervous system isn't accustomed to... quite yet. One friend who started kickboxing 5 times a week compared to 2 times a week described waking up at 05:00, shaking and pouring sweat, almost after every practice. People who are new to grappling wake up in the early morning thinking about rolling and suffering contracting muscles meanwhile. That said, what do I know, but I wouldn't be worried and suggest this is very temporary.

So the Americans at the most recent HEMA tournament in Texas got crushed by the Swedes and other Euros. Conditioning is a big problem in American HEMA, and I'm wondering if anyone knows any stamina drills or exercises we could do as a group to help fix that issue. If anyone has any suggestions, whether it's for individuals or groups, I would greatly appreciate your help. We're already the best cutting school in the country, and we want to at least put a dent in the image that American HEMAists are terrible athletes.

Start running 3 times a week, 1x sprints, 1x intervals and a distance run. It's not glamorous but it gets results, knights had to be able to run in full armour after all. E: also start skipping Rabhadh fucked around with this message at 00:58 on Mar 24, 2015 |

So, I'd like to do an amateur Muay Thai fight at some point. I'm in an MMA hot spot, that's for sure. I just switched to a new gym and the coach is pretty great. I haven't been there long but I believe some others have fought MT So do I just ask the coach if he'll sponsor me or support me or what? Does the gym look for a fight for me? Am I supposed to pay the coach cash for one and one time I guess? No idea how all his works.

http://www.thearma.org/essays/fit/RennFit.htm#.VRC9b_mSx8E Good stuff here from the historical perspective: quote:Another form of strength training called Strebkatze consisted of various forms of "tug-of-war" games using rope or cloth. According to Wassmannsdorff this training was good for fencing with longswords or two-handed weapons because it strengthened the muscles used in descending cuts. Finally, playful forms of milder non-combat grappling or wrestling were also conducted. (Turnen und Fechten, p. 11-18). Most of the readings say that knights used to lift, run, dance and wrestle a lot, so go join a bjj class to get some extra endurance training there?

Eventually, you should even out and maybe the disrupted sleep and night sweating will stop. Not long, maybe 5 months now so I'm still very green. I mean I roll until I can barely stand, so it could just be that i'm pushing my body so hard that this is what happens. I also only go twice a week because reasons, so it could also be I'm not getting enough regular training for my body to get more used to it. Good to know it's a common thing though. I guess I was hoping for that one funny goon trick that makes doctors hate them - drinking a bottle of refrigerated Castor oil while doing a handstand and watching anime.

For those interested (and in the New York/New Jersey area), the Martinez Academy, along with the Raven Arts Institute, will be hosting the Spanish Martial Arts Weekend on May 29-31. Here's a video preview of the event. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrrNKTnZhs4 You can register here: http://www.martinez-destreza.com/calendar/spanish-martial-arts-weekend-2015 edit: Also thanks everyone for your suggestions! I've been steadily conditioning since I first posted, and it feels pretty great. I've also established a Facebook group for our school's students to condition together, and to log their personal growth and activity. So far it seems to be a hit!

Thanks thats useful. I think its not turning my hip over effectively thats hindering my power but i do that because I think I am always kicking from too close and cant develop the kick. Maybe I should step back after a combination with the hands? I will ask my coach next class for tips.

I think that's generally a hip flexibility thing and it's not something you can quickly correct. I'm saying that because I started with like zero hip flexibility and after like 3 years of stretching I'm still a few cm away from touching my knees to the ground in lotus pose

I'm saying that because I started with like zero hip flexibility and after like 3 years of stretching I'm still a few cm away from touching my knees to the ground in lotus pose Cant be that because my hip flexibility is very good Thanks to whatever combo of TKD BJJ and genetics. If I take my time vs a heavy bag I can turn my hip over correctly for leg and body still working on head but if I'm doing pads or sparring I can't turn my hips because I run out of space like I need to stand farther away or at a better angle. However in a combination or during sparring I can't just setup like on the bag so I'm trying to figure out if I need to kick different stand differently or what. I think its coordinating power position and range. So probably just summarized as "be good".

You can work the hip drive with less space that usual.Instead of opening the kick forward following the forward momentum of the punches, you kind of go sideways and create a little more of space.It feels and looks weird but whatever at long as it hits the dude, and usually people don't expect low kick out of an apparent botched combo. Also you can go full dutch and just move your hips backwards and your torso and head forward and just blast kicks from close distance. hump day bitches! fucked around with this message at 22:44 on Mar 26, 2015 |

The answer to anything MT related is always "more hips" Also don't stiffen/straighten your leg too much you want it to be limp to a point. And chop down or arch it like a rainbow depending on where you're hitting. Don't just kick up like karate or something Throw a quick jab on a bag and that should roughly be how far away you want to be for a kick. Like the video says if you step don't just step towards the opponent/bag step at an angle. After a combo you're usually going to step into the kick and kick with the opposite leg you punched with, generally I also saw a video of something like this but on a bag http://youtu.be/rdSGE2H23Pk And it helped me a lot. I never see anyone do it. But it's really simple and helpful and helps for a warmup. Just slowly kick the bag then push off once you make contact. Also are you doing a good warmup and throwing in some dynamic stretching? Leg swings? Nostalgia4Dogges fucked around with this message at 00:13 on Mar 27, 2015 |

The answer to everything MA seems to be "more hips"  Frog stretches are the bomb. I try to do the limber 11 before every session though I replace the elevated hip flexor stretch with the brettzel stech. Opens up the muscles real well. I have more trouble with activating the muscles and keeping balance more than the ROM though and the thing we've been doing is pretty much what Dicks posted but we have the partner catch your leg when you'd normally extend it and push out. It's felt pretty helpful for me.

Quick heads up that Rogan's recent podcast with Andrew Hill (a somewhat kooky neuroscientist) contains a pretty fun but easily missed dismantling of aikido from about 2:30 to 2:42. The guy mentions it a few times throughout the podcast and Joe starts polite, but at the 2:30 Hill starts to poo poo on Seagal and Joe trolls him a bit then puts him through the wringer, and 12 minutes later his basic understanding of human conflict is quietly shattered (at precisely the point Joe says he's not trying to shatter beliefs or anything.)

Nostalgia4Dicks posted:The answer to anything MT related is always "more hips" Hah funny because I was doing basically that drill with a bag this week before class because it felt like good practice. Nice to have validation. Yes the coaches are pretty good about warm ups and when I get there early I do my own routine that I got from some dynamic stretch tutorial a million years ago. I did tkd from like 5-18 and used to be able to easily throw head kicks. Not the window makers you see in mt but leg to head is always strong. Bjj has kept my hips almost as flexible but my range has diminished to about shoulder height at max. But I am hoping good practice will get me back to head kicking because drat is it nice to have a full range of strikes. I think I'm often stepping forward on kicks instead of sideways I will watch that next class. Just a newb habit I think. I also think my long buried tkd instincts are making me feel like I need more space but i am actually at an ok range. if I limp leg more and remember it's shin to rib and not like foot slap to head. I have had some fun moments throwing a shuffle step slapping round house from way outside and seeing people kinda boggle that it connected, even if it's basically just a light touch. Maybe as i improve I can use it to cover ground and land some good hand or harder kicks versus now where I'm just kinda throwing it and flinching away.

Guyz. It's the foot to get your hips into it. Spin it 180 degrees to test it out. Don't believe it? Try! Go to low heavy bag. Throw a circular kick while holding the supporting leg in place. If you didn't break your knee, you are welcome, but that was a lovely idea. Please don't do this, ever, unless you are doing Fedor -style low kicks to set up takedowns. Now throw the same kick while you turn the foot of your supporting knee or leg 180 degrees around. Magic! The hip will follow! If you didn't get 5000% more power, you actually did the same the first time, or close to it, and just didn't know it. edit: also stamp your heel on the the floor with whatever kick ever that connects, might sound funny but try it: stamp your supporting leg to the floor when the kick hits and tell me doesn't make a difference Ligur fucked around with this message at 01:40 on Mar 28, 2015 |

Rogan smelled blood in the water and went for the kill but he was being really cuntish with his "If I had a DI wrestler".With a DI wrestler you can gently caress 3/4 of all the muay thai champions, including BJJ black belts and he goes in tirades about how amazing jiu-jitsu,how it keeps your ego in check and all that poo poo.His disdain for Aikido was palpable.

The delivery was harsh but I wouldn't disagree with anything he said, and I do think it's important to note that Joe waits for Hill to start criticizing someone else before he pounces. And he gave Hill every opportunity to produce something to verify his claim that Aikido has worked in competition-style settings against other arts, but he couldn't do it. The average non-champion D1 wrestler matched up with a bjj blackbelt would probably be competitive, a Muay Thai champion less so but still potentially interesting based on the hypothetical ruleset at least. Based on what's covered in the podcast, Aikido would have nothing to offer. And that would be fine, if Hill left it at Aikido being a helpful philosophy and exercise with maybe some basic self defense built in. But he pushed it and got blasted.

Having been boxing for a few months now, it's completely obvious to me that aikido is pretty useless in a real fight. However, those arm and wrist locks are deffo useful in certain situations, plus the weapon stuff we did in my old aikido club (jo especially) was really fun.
