I don't like it when martial arts are appropriated as some sort of strategic mysticism, and I def don't like it when they hinge their metaphor on weirdo combos. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/006227306X

I participated in my first tournament on Saturday at SDSU for the Tap Cancer Out event which ended up raising a lot of money for cancer. I ended up competing in the Ultra Heavy Weight class but since Im such a fat rear end, they ended up asking one of the weight class competitors below to move up and he did. Totally cool guy named Chris from Team Carlson Gracie was like "Sure! You wanna roll?" I was honestly a little disappointed that it was only the two of us since it became a best of 3 matches situation. I lost my first match by getting stuck in a standing wristlock. The second match went to the ground and I ended up playing a bottom game of half guard/ Electric Chair which ended up in me losing position. It went downhill from there. I ended up fighting an armbar (successfully), but he just racked up the points. I did some things right, a lot of things wrong and missed some opportunities but I def got the chance to learn from a lot of my mistakes. Feel free to watch and let me know what you guys think...  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ad_DIHWkH9c&t=466s I was coming off a cold that took me out for a week and I hadn't been on the mat since Monday so kind of take that into consideration. edit: sorry about the music, I wasnt the one that edited this.

A couple things: With that electric chair sweep if you get resistance like that you don't have to insist, rock him back the other way for the sweep. With knee on belly, don't hold that pant leg at the ankle, scoop it back to half guard In mount don't frame on his chest or higher

JaySB posted:A couple things: Jay your absolutely right, but I just wasnt thinking straight. I think I had an opportunity (a very quick one) to also fish my left arm under his left leg then come back and rest on it. When he comes back at me, the sweep is there and I end up in kind of a leg drag situation. quote:With knee on belly, don't hold that pant leg at the ankle, scoop it back to half guard Good point! quote:In mount don't frame on his chest or higher Or stick to the basics and attempt a bump and roll?

I still wouldn't reach up on a bump and roll attempt, I prefer to stay in tight and work for an elbow escape or trap and roll.

Congratulations on the tournament, it seems like you've got some good experience out of it. During standup you seemed ultra tense and would frame your arms in a manner that was defensive but didn't seem like it would result in better grips for you and kinda made you spend lots of energy for little return. At our weight class it's one thing I've been trying to be much more aware of as being on the bottom is often times catastrophic if the guy gets to pass during a bad takedown defense and set up camp on you.

Yeah I worked with my coach over the past couple of days to address a couple of the issues. He even showed me an escape from that wristlock, although he point out that having the right grip and grip placement can eliminate that from happening to begin with. Ill be honest, its a little weird rolling in an unfamiliar place such as that with everyone watching you. It was def a learning experience.

This is a random observation / question. For you guys who are senior enough to coach or given instruction to the junior students -- do you find yourself repeating advice multiple times in explaning something? I do that. Example: "Ok, you're bringing your chin up as you transition from the jab to the cross. You gotta keep the chin tucked and move your head off line as the cross comes out. If you leave your chin up and your head back, you can't line your upper body up consistently behind the punch. So make sure to keep your chin tucked when you bring the jab back and throw the cross out. If you don't you're presenting a target and not making full use of your torso to add to the range of the punches. So yeah, keep reminding yourself to tuck the chin." There's obviously a few bits of information in there, but I can't seem to help repeating the main advice -- tuck your chin. Part of it is that I dunno everyone's aptitude, so I want to overcommunicate. Combine that with a stream of conscious explanation, and I can't make myself as concise as I want to.

kimbo305 posted:This is a random observation / question. Yep. Is normal. It's how people learn. There are tons of intrinsic movements that we do without thinking, but which are alien and strange for someone who is new. If we're doing foot sweeps I have to reinforce some components four or five times per student. In fact, explaining techniques - taking them from implicit understanding to explicit - is why teaching is great. It makes us better at what we do.

kimbo305 posted:This is a random observation / question. Yeah all the time. People are concerned with completing the move as a whole and lose the details. Especially in striking because there's a lot more moving parts. I find it effective to remind people to encourage people to slow down in drilling and really focus on a step by step approach. Once they're not messing up the steps you can refine the small details.

As a student I can often tell I've not done something correctly and it's nice to have that reinforcement of "Yea you didn't do xyz" to go along with my internal monologue of thoughts, and considering I'm poo poo the same thing is repeated to me often and I feel bad for my teachers.

My first teacher put a fair amount of effort into teaching us (2 seniors students) " how to teach " and assigned each of us a group of students. One general guide line was that if you have to repeat something more than 3 times (and no change towards the right solution is happening), you need to find a different way of phrasing/demonstrating it. Another task, was to find '5 good things' about each of our 'students'. It's very easy to tell relative beginners what they're doing wrong, but far harder to say what they're doing right. Often you can then ask them to take parts of what they're doing right and transfer it over to areas that needs improving.

Complimenting the positives is something I'm really good at. I know I have a whole package of flaws to review, but at the end I'll list out the things they really had going for them. In taking students from intermediate to advanced, I think it's good to have them build confidence in what they're already good at. To accentuate and expand on tactics that work for them. Neon Belly posted:This plus reminding (usually new people) that speed comes last. I don't know how to coach this for striking. I've only subbed for the advanced kickboxing sparring class once, and I had my hands full with trying to have very new people get something out of their rounds. If I only had 2 people to supervise, I'd be able to enforce speed rules. Like I say go 50% of full speed and one guy keeps cheating and going too fast, I can tell him to slow it down so his partner can read some of the movements and put some defense together. Slow (we call it interactive) sparring like that takes you up to a certain plateau of striking proficiency. When it's slow, balance doesn't work quite the same (because you have to artificially hang out your limbs and stay on one foot, etc.) and you can have very generous reaction times. I dunno how to coach people off of that plateau to full speed sparring. Usually, I tell the newer people to take one technique into a round and try to score with it. Once they've scored once, they can free spar, but until then, they need to work on crafting the ring situation into their favor. To set up a trap and then spring it. They can usually succeed in the first phase, but once they have, they completely revert to an unstructured, reactive style.

I think it's a much different beast for effective striking sparring vs grappling in that respect. Maybe setting up more situational sparring and limiting the setups a more advanced person can use so the beginner has a chance to read basic movements would help?

I like to start with them getting the broad strokes of a move correct and then going over it again a couple of times saying ‘now let’s add detail to that.’ I teach the same move three times going from big details to little details. That way they get positive feedback a couple of times before they get it right, and they get to keep reinforcing the move as they add the tweaks. I only ever teach beginners but it seems to work and they seem to feel good about it.

Sparred today, and one of the raw but very tall guys was standing straight up and doing slow bare-knuckle/Fighting Irish punches. When I was watching on the sides, I told him multiple times to keep jabbing down on the shorter fighters and to punch from further out. It definitely helped. When I got in there with him, holy poo poo, I could not avoid his jabs. I eventually started slipping outside and weaving under, but I must have eaten 5 or 6 of his jabs.

And even in a competitive sense there can be a rift in completeness of game. For example, I have brown belts who can't pass my half guard, get swept and footlocked or leg locked by me. But if we reset or they're not trapped in that guard I'm dead.
