Then watch as you start to suck against anyone bigger than you. Also don’t do cardio, strong people don’t need cardio.

JaySB posted:Work on the parts of your game that suck Thanks Jay Basically Im all over the place... Just off the top of my head: Things I am good at: Grips and grip fighting Half guard and Deep half sweeps (love the electric chair sweep) Kimuras from all over but especially from North South Sleeve chokes Ankle locks Cross collar chokes Stacked passing (double under, stacked staple) Things I am horrible at: Arm bars from Guard Finishing triangles Keeping people from passing guard Escaping side control over under pass (a total mess and I get triangle danger a lot from there) In many ways I still feel like a white belt.

Different art, but usually passing a promotion exam is an opportunity to re-visit your basics. When I'm working towards an exam or tournament, I'll usually (re)discover several issues that I need to work, that requires 're-tooling', a process that is often too long (and distracting) to implement when you are working towards a shorter term goal.

Tacos Al Pastor posted:Got my Blue Belt. Great work! As a newer blue belt I have been working on my non-existent standup. Been to 3 judo seminars and a few stand up specific jiu jitsu classes, so IDK, maybe something like that. The few tournaments I have been in, I have been lost at the standup game.

Work on guard retention and side control escape. Maybe work on transitions and maintaining dominant positions as well and focus less on trying to finish.

What the gently caress? This argument about "we need to protect our hands because this is self defence and not sport" is dumb no matter how it's phrased.

Siivola posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVYl1kL9_jQ They're reinventing boxing. Stance is slightly different but the parries are straight from boxing. The "line of power" crap is an explanation you give to newbies so that they don't throw arm punches, not some rediscovered technique from the 1870s. Train your footwork so that you never cross your legs like this:  e: also the reason we throw punches with thumbs down is because it naturally raises the shoulder to protect the chin which is important regardless of gloves/bareknuckle

My only interactions with historical nerds crossing over into the world of the ol' rough in tumble was when one of friends got married and part of the bachelor party was going to see this big muckity muck in ARMA to learn some steel fighting stuff. He found out from one of the guys I had been doing grappling for some time from the rest of the bachelor party. So he started telling us about this medieval grappling system and used me as a demonstration dummy to demonstrate a mount escape. So I was gonna be a good dummy and let him do what ever. So I go to a low mount with my arms extended to either side and wait for instruction. He says something to the tune of "Try to keep me in mount and I'll try to escape" The dude literally bites my right arm and tries to roll me, which fails because I'm a heavy dude and he didn't really compromise my base in biting me, so I abandon mount and go to knee on belly thinking I'm gonna turn this guy into a raccoon for biting me, and he then said  "Heh looks like I'm out of mount." and the rest of the party applauded.

The "line of power" crap is an explanation you give to newbies so that they don't throw arm punches, not some rediscovered technique from the 1870s. The one thing I'll give them credit for bringing up is that you very quickly develop more power than what your hands can naturally handle. But instead of acknowledging the utility of training methods that let you develop even more power, they just do mediocre sparring with MMA gloves, I guess.

Journalist recalls getting drunkenly groped, and recounts a successful self-defense: https://medium.com/@quinnnorton/robert-scoble-and-me-9b14ee92fffb Quinn Norton posted:And then, without any more warning, Scoble was on me. I felt one hand on my breast and his arm reaching around and grabbing my butt. Scoble is considerably bigger than I am, and I realized quickly I wasn’t going to be able to push him away. Meanwhile, the people around just watched, in what I can only imagine was stunned shock. I got a hand free and used a palm strike to the base of his chin to knock him back. It worked, he flew back and struggled to get his feet under him. I watched his feet carefully for that moment. He was unbalanced from the alcohol and I realized if he reached for me again I could pull him forward, bounce his face off my knee, then drive it into the ground. (I knew this move because it had been done to me, then the martial arts expert who did it picked me up and apologetically showed me how to do it.) He laughed and rubbed his chin and said something like “I like this one, she has spirit.” I said this: “If you touch me again I will break your nose.” I could still feel his hands on me, his intentions, all of it. He laughed again, and I repeated, “If you touch me again I will break your nose.” He didn’t grab me again after that. I guess the two takeaways are that you really have to be willing to fight under those terrifying conditions, and that those moves will work against an attacker who's not coordinated and gives up fairly easily.

The martial arts expert kneed her in the face and then smashed her head into the ground for no reason, then gave her a 30 second instructional?

kimbo305 posted:Journalist recalls getting drunkenly groped, and recounts a successful self-defense: I think a lot of it has to do with breaking the social boundaries of "causing a scene". I know when my fight or flight kicked in back in day one of my main worries was "Oh gosh everyone's looking I'm part of a dramatic event" as a guy is going to punch me, and I wanted the conflict over asap and hoped people didn't think badly of me. If a girl just shuts up and takes being groped, no drama, no scene, it'll be all over and no one will be disrupted. Having the confidence to speak out, let alone throw a punch, is a big big part of it. I'm fairly sure if a grown man is groping some woman in plane sight half his size gets punched on the nose he's going to stop and not be like "I didn't touch you", he's going to play it off as a joke. I'm just a bit gutted she didn't do more damage and hope if women do punch back in future they connect hard. Edit: and the people around them are not cowardly and support her during the fall out.

mewse posted:Ban mopeds, done! New policies are being discussed, at the moment police won't pursue criminals on mopeds without helmets because if they crash they will die. They mug/knife/acid people, and if they get in a chase they take their helmet off and the police stop chasing them. Vigilantism is the only thing left. Keep your phones tight because they are grabbing at them as they go past. I'm thinking of doing some bait work and grabbing back as they pass.
