I am unfamiliar with the oildome. Is this something like Turkish wrestling?

And it freaking sucks because they're the dudes who aren't coming in every day. I seriously wonder how much drama it would cause if I just said "no" when the instructor pairs me up with one of these dudes.

When people come to my gym like that, especially if they only do it to the less experienced guys (like me), the pro's quickly notice and they get taught a very brutal punishing lesson and either learn it the first time, or then are too scared to come back. Last time it happened some really young guy, like 18 or something, pretended he hadn't boxed before, but you could tell he had, he tried taking my head off. I went purely defense mode, everyone was shouting at him to calm down, I tried to indicate he was going too hard and he loving jabbed me in the mouth and I had to move again before a power punch followed. My friend who wasn't even training called time on the round, got in with no wraps on just gloves, and broke the kids ribs. I kinda abhorre genuine violence but it's cheap to hit someone who has clearly stopped to communicate and ignore everyone saying slow it down.

In fact, while I'm putting myself out there, if anyone has any martial arts recipes they wouldn't mind sharing with me, or even just the names of meals, that would be very helpful. I'm working on a small project to collect traditional recipes from various martial arts/athletic cultures from around the world.

My friend do you know the power of the super food asaí? Real answer: look into the Gracie diet. It's this whole system of eating Carlos Gracie invented. Some fairly normal stuff like "eat more vegetables" with whackier things like how you shouldn't pair certain foods.

The first thing that springs to mind in a sumo diet is chankonabe which is delicious but will possibly give you the protein shits.

I made a half-assed chakonabe once from the vice recipe. It was loving delicious even though I cut like 6 corners.

chanko nabe was my inspiration for this project, actually. Made a vegetarian version this weekend for meal prep and was amazed by how good it is. It’s even better the next day! I have a background in Japanese cuisine so I knew my way around the ingredients, but it’s definitely worth giving a shot to cook, especially if you’re feeding a bunch of tired, hungry martial artists after training.

Question for boxers in the thread: Are there any specific mitt drills that you find particularly useful for learning proper form and movement or throwing practical combination strikes? I'm gonna be teaching some to level one/beginner students next week and want to emphasize exercises with decently self-evident value in self-defense scenarios, but don't have any particular ones in my back pocket.

I don't really know how to answer that question. I suppose if you're confronted in a mugging situation and can't flee right away, just blast 1-2s, pivot around them, and then run off. Proper form doesn't have self-evident value of self-defense, imo. The whole regime of self-defense is so different and orthogonal. On the other hand, there's no downside to training proper form even if your only goal is self-defense.

That’s a very helpful answer, thank you. I guess I’m asking for beginner drills that emphasize movement, proper stances, and offensive combinations particularly for eliminating bad habits, since that’s my goal in teaching beginners (as opposed to randomly assigning beats and having them step through it like a round of Bop-It). I’ve normally used things like 8-count drills, but I’m curious if anyone has suggestions on what to emphasize for beginners that will carry over to general striking know-how. In something like a mugging scenario my advice to them is “give him your wallet, dum-dum.” Squirrel Burger fucked around with this message at 22:59 on Jul 31, 2018 |

Maybe like 1 - 2 then have the pad man swing a hook so they have to move? Stepping jabs down a line? Or 1- 2 pivot 90 1-2 ? Stuff that is more than plant and throw. At least to me that is where form becomes obviously more helpful.

Another is to break the stance and have them recover it - e.g. 1-2, touch the ground, 1-2-3. It drills getting the feet into proper position.

If this is a straight beginner class, spend 1/3 of it showing how to center your weight between your feet, and how to twist your hips into punches while keeping your feet on the ground. How to slip side to side without completely putting your center of weight outside your hips. Then pair up and - throw and slip jabs - throw and slip crosses - throw 1-2 and slip the cross to the outside

Just caught up on this thread. It's really a bummer when people don't listen. I'm at a gym with a pro fighter who has a 9+ wins and two losses, one to a former (and possible very near future) UFC champ, and he can't even get main card at a Bellator event. If that guy is still reading: get a few amateur MMA fights, and then decide if you're really going to devote your life to getting in the UFC.

Not sure if this is the right thread, but my partner’s dojo (goju ryu/kobudo- in US) is looking to switch suppliers for high quality bo/tonfa. They used to use the same place for years but the turnaround time has started to creep into ‘years’ territory. They’ve tried a couple distributors and aren’t super happy with what they’ve gotten- does anyone have any recommendations for martial arts weapon suppliers that aren’t selling dangerously crummy things?

It's probably the best thread to ask, but we don't really have a ton of TMA practitioners in here. I order judo and BJJ gis wholesale from https://www.jukado.com and they have section of TMA weapons. They're by no means the most perfect of suppliers, but I've never felt that their turnaround was slow. I typically have my order in my hands within a week of processing payment. No idea about the quality.

Are there techniques where you support your weight on the staff? Certain weight? Purple Heart was linked earlier, and honestly the prices look pretty good to me: http://www.woodenswords.com/category_s/2066.htm http://www.woodenswords.com/product_p/tonfa.20-4.625.htm kimbo305 fucked around with this message at 19:10 on Aug 3, 2018 |

As far as I know, they don’t support their weight on the bo staffs, but they like to have a good amount of heft to it along with a little bit of give/flexibility for their kata and pair work. They used to order through Shureido (made out of oak), and still would if it didn’t take a year and a half to get a stick. Thankfully they found a decent sai distributor (Dreammetal) since there are huge problems with crummy ones shattering during pair work

Teachable moment: https://www.mmafighting.com/2018/7/...d-deformed-hand 2 bigger, trained fighters cannot easily put away two kids who start a street fight. Obviously their training serves them extremely well, but the moment a knife or gun enters the equation, it's not gonna help much.

People always ask poo poo like "so if there was a fight you'd totally easily win right?" And I always disappoint by sucking all the air out of that conversation because poo poo like that story is what really happens. Plus or minus a lawsuit maybe. Sucks for the fighter too because that seemed really random.

My main thing I tell people when they ask about fighting is that fighting is bad and dangerous and the best self defense is to never put yourself in a situation where you have to fight.
