02-6611-0142-1 posted:There's very little detail on the website about what they actually teach, which is kinda shady. The rashguards say "TSMMA" but it looks like they're mostly doing karate? You'd usually expect a breakdown of classes, which arts are taught when, who the teachers are and a breakdown of their qualifications and competition records. There are legit pro fighters based out of Tiger Schulmann's here in NYC. Like any gym it's going to depend on who the instructors there are, but it's not a McDojo in the traditional sense, despite making a lot of their money teaching longpants kickboxing to children.

Surprise T Rex posted:I'm looking at getting into some kind of martial art, and I initially thought Krav Maga sounded cool based on basically no information. Having read this thread, I've decided that's not a great idea and started looking into some of the ones that were under the 'practical' section of the previous OP. I did Shotokan Karate when I was 10 or so, but never got on with how 'theoretical' it all seemed. There are combat sports other than MMA which incorporate striking and grappling, like sanshou and combat sambo. But yeah, if you're interested in both you're much more likely to just find an MMA gym that has kickboxing and grappling instruction.

LionArcher posted:Yes, there is resisting uke practice. There's all teaching counters to techniques being applied. One of my favorite instructors is a retired police officer. He's great at resisting techniques and showing how to apply it correctly. Resistance, in this case, means sparring. Not "I'm going to let you do the throw but use my strength to make it more difficult."

If you're getting into a "poo poo ton" of situations where you have to talk your way out of violence then you are very bad at aikido and self-defense in general.

Wheat Loaf posted:So I've been going to BJJ for about a year now. It is hard to believe. I have been trying to keep up with my rolling but lately I'm running into a couple of consistent problems. The first is that I always seem to set myself up for armbars from virtually any position almost without fail, but that's obviously just something I have to keep working on. Starting from standing is by far the best, otherwise start from a position you want to work on. Actually trying to do "takedowns" when you're both on your knees is dumb as poo poo.

T.S. Smelliot posted:So after 5 years of destroying my body through a combination of incredible stress, odd hours and poo poo eating, I switched careers to one that has way better hours and found out one of my old MT instructors opened up his own gym locally that charges 80/mo for unlimited or 60/mo for 2/week,im real tempted to get back in. I really want to get my own bag in the garage too. His gym is a p legit hole in the wall warehouse as a legit gym usually is and I trust his instruction. Should I try and work out a bit first so I don't show embarrassingly out of shape compared to what I was or what thinking you need to get in shape before you go get in shape is the dumbest poo poo I've ever heard

hi liter posted:Do ya'll train with any cops? I know that a few I've trained with some in the past, as well as vets in the past, but the politics around both those issues has....changed in the last few years. One of the assistant coaches at my sambo club is a court officer who also does some kind of security thing at the UN. He's a judo black belt and medaled at the World Police & Fire Games a few years ago. He's a short, fat bald guy and rolling with him is like trying to wrestle a boulder.

If you want to compete regularly, boxing is kind of tough because of what's involved in setting up fights even as an amateur. I'd say karate (kyokushin or shotokan) is probably a better bet, since competitions are divided by belt rank.

Dennis McClaren posted:Okay perfect that's exactly what I'm looking for then! Thanks. I mean if you get in a fight with someone who trains in MMA even semi-seriously you're going to get your rear end kicked, and it isn't because you don't know how to defend a wrist lock. But judowns and will absolutely make you much more calm and capable during a physical confrontation. It'll also make you realize that if you throw an untrained person onto a surface that isn't a mat they're going to be horribly maimed at best and it's probably something you don't want to do.

A BJJ school telling you to leave because you're too skinny is loving bizarre. Like, to the point where I'm seriously doubting that happened, unless someone was joking with you and you took it seriously. Which I guess is possible, because goons.

Is there a good video on positions or concepts on the subject? Come back to NY and I'll give you a lesson  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVhJRHQDsyE This is the basic idea, you want to be on the inside of their shinbone. I tend to use my knee or shin for it while pinning their leg to the mat more than my elbows, as a part of my passing game and also to punish people who sit in guard as a matter of principle.

As an aside, I've had a couple different black and brown belts come up to me when I've used a shinlock to tell me it's not a real submission and that while it's painful, you won't break someone's leg or cause injury with it and I should try something else. Which pisses me off, because it absolutely can cause serious damage and if you're telling basically telling your guys not to tap to a sub because it isn't "real" then you're going to get them hurt. But I can't exactly yell at a black belt while I'm wearing a white belt so I usually just shrug.
