Are all judo people weird? I think I might understand why I find it so appealing now. My friend from the UK said back home his judo coach used to make everyone get a partner, grab lapels, and violently pull on them left and right for like a full minute or something, giving everyone rug burn on the backs of their necks. The purpose? To toughen up the skin on the back of the neck. Why? I don't know.

Is there a cure for the mcdojo brain disease? I know a guy who is insisting that the 'hapkido-based' knife defense system he's currently practicing is 'totally legit', and not a way to either get stabbed or get arrested for stabbing somebody.

Ask him if his school has ever done the red marker drill, and if not, act puzzled since it's a very typical training technique for knives. Then gently caress him up with the red marker.

Usually people just dig in harder if you confront them with their crazy bullshit. The more effective way is flatter their intelligence and then get them to participate in something that proves the point, without challenging their assumptions or attacking them personally. If it works, they'll act like the correct thing was their idea and what they always believed. It's not very emotional fulfilling because you get no catharsis and takes a lot of time and patience. So I would just stab him* *With a marker.

Sometimes it's just ignorance that needs education, it's not always crazy stuff. Like one time I mentioned to some friends that I was reading the Book of Five Rings and then they all started attacking me with kendo sticks. "SHOW US THE WAY OF STRATEGY OH I GUESS IT DOESN'T WORK" I don't hang out with them anymore.

I must be tired because normally I would not take this approach, but maybe it's just for the best to let him have his false sense of superiority. He gets to feel more confident, leading to a generally happier life for him and probably for the people around him as well. Chances of him being in a dangerous knife encounter and discovering the limits of his training are slim. You don't need to protect him, and you don't need to risk your friendship by bursting his bubble. Let it be

Yeah I have a friend that trained Krav for a bit and I'd listen to him talk about their training and then he eventually got bored with it and moved on. The training sounded dumb but it didn't seem worth bringing up.

I will say that when I first started bjj I tried to get other people interested in it because I found it so fun but now that I've been doing for years I don't bring it up at all, assume random folks for the most part can't deal with the concept of injury management or need hand holding or whatever and it's just not worth it. Maybe your friend is just excited about their new thing.

These days I'm a big fan of the "don't tell anyone unless they really drag it out of you" approach. If people start talking about their martial arts at parties (which is weird), whoever is loudest will probably come off sounding like the biggest idiot. Everybody needs a good hobby, but BJJ isn't for everyone, and it doesn't need anybody to defends its honour.

A friend recently was extolling to me how great of a martial artist Bruce Lee was. I politely disagreed, but to prove his point he started showing me Bruce Lee fights... from movies. I quickly realized this was a stupid discussion and we should move on. It is the jujitsu way.

I'm not sure what part we are reading but Bruce seems pretty realistic about Ali whooping his rear end.

I did JKD for a couple of years, and what I learned was pretty good, for the most part. There's two schools of thought in the JKD world, one that says "Bruce wanted to steal all the good stuff so we should keep adding and removing things", and one that says "we have to keep it exactly as it was when he died". I went to a place that did the "heavy plagiarism" style, so I learned how to punch well, how to kick well, and how to grapple a bit. We did full-contact sparring, which kinda showed up which bits were nonsense - there was one guy who'd been doing it for years and wouldn't accept that Wing Chun trapping was just going to get you battered, and when we sparred he'd always try to pay your hand down and punch over the top (might be called a lop Sao? It's been a while). What would happen then is he'd eat a punch to the face, or a hard kick. Over and over. I guess he'd invested too much time into those bits to give it up. A shame. We did a little bit of the trapping style stuff (which I don't believe works, due to evidence), some Kali (which was a fun warmup, but I saw some footage of Kali competitions and they're loving stupid), bits of Muay Thai, boxing, etc. The head guy died a few years back now, and some of his schools stayed under the Magda Institute, but the one I trained at affiliated elsewhere, we expanded the grappling and cut back on the PunchKicks, and now we just teach BJJ and enjoy it. So it all ended well.

Alright so doing MT I like to keep my distance of course When I'm up against a guy with a good boxing base that gets in my space and starts throwing blows I just turtle if I can't move to the side and get stuck. Any quick suggestions? I generally try to throw my jab hand out and side shuffle or hook my way out but I keep putting my head down too low and catching uppercuts

Plum clinch him and throw him to the side? Plum clinch and threaten with anything so he can't fire in close.

Omglosser posted:Just out of curiosity, did you all wear street clothes and shoes into class? I've heard of JKD doing that before. Was wondering what it's like. We didn't do it when I was there, but before I started I think they did, they liked the idea of it being 'real'. Pros and cons both ways I suppose. When I started attending it was shorts and t-shirt/rashguard, so pretty normal really. It really was just good bits stolen from other arts. Probably done less well in some cases, but we stopped all the JKD stuff (highest percentage stuff in terms of fighting seems to be MT, BJJ and Judo anyway), and we all do BJJ now because it's loving rad (and I've got a real job so getting punched in the face is low down on my list of acceptable risks these days).

Sometimes I wonder how many workable things are hidden in traditional arts that have lost all context to their stuff because they don't fight people any more. I mean, apparently MMA peeps are finding uses for stuff like wide traditional karate stances and taekwondo high kicks nowadays? I'm pretty sure people used to look at those and go "no way no how would those actually work, the rules are just set up to favour them". I'm kinda hoping MMA becomes a thing in China and the Shaolin monks get really into it, tbh.
