TJS

I wouldent say they are useless....but i agree that you should stick to low/mid kicks fot the most part....but a flash high kick out of nowhere can be devestating.

yes im sure he could hold his own agains any avg joe.

except a 170 pound brazilian named royce

sure they are useful...but use them in moderation...wait for an opening and a head kick easily can be a knockout blow if they are not expecting them.

T.A.C.K.A full contact kickboxing. some TKD in the past...thats it for now atleast

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has tournaments ..Usually Traditional Jiu jitsu does not in most cases. You can apply an arm bar without actually breaking an arm..if you have sufficent pressure they will feel it and tap out.

somehow I doubt that

I will say that BJJ does give you the best chance against a signifigantly larger opponet .

no they dont..There is a big diffrence in saying something is highly effective or whatever and making up outragous advertisments.

it's cool treebranch, but i would like ot make a few comments We do spar with groin kicks ..but we do wear a cup/shin gaurds. we also train for this, rear naked choke, bar arm choke, two hand choke etc..but it's not really something you can spar with because if someone chokes me from behind it's obviously by suprise.

this dosent really answer you question...but i have noticed that the people who claim and advertise to be the deadliest...most leathal etc...are usually not.. when you see things like "defeat anyone no matter the size/strentght/skill level..despite your age/strenght/skill level etc.....then run!

good luck, in my personal opion most of what is out there is too difficult to pull off under the stress and fear of a real fight..although there are some useful aspects im sure.

I cant belive i just read that... The fact is A full contact NHB fighter is going ot be able to handle himself in a real fight...more so than just about anyone out there.

no one was saying otherwise on this thread..i was just randomly blithering

I think there are several option 1)meet him at his wrist and thow a Right Cross at the same time...works better for mor of a wild hook. 2) take your arm back and put it to the side of your head like a triangle without the bottom..there really isint anywhere for the punch to hit except your arm...and if they have commited to the attack you will have a nice opportunity to deliver a nice straight left. 3)bob an come up on the dead side and work the head or body 4) simply move back and let it miss.

i think techniques like that should be the icing on the cake...as in you should know technique without them...they are just an added bonus.

Ok lets break this down for you, I said Two things on this Thread, There is no Contradiction in this, You are really stretching arent you. LOL i just realized something, when he said That was not something he was quoting me on that was his response....You are hilarious dude...funny times...so next time please get your facts stright before posting something like that.

Krav Maga is a Very Combative no nonsese self defense and fighting system...and it's not tournament oriented. There are Two locations in Jacksonville, If you would like to check them out here is some info on the schools- Master Clark's Black Belt Academy 7235 Atlantic Blvd. Jacksonville, FL 32211 (904)724-2100 Mandarin School 9825 San Jose Blvd. Jacksonville, FL 32257 (904) 268-4424

Taking out some pent up frustration? next time slow it down and make a coherent sentance. How did he catch me badly? what are you talking about? I made two comments in this thread and neither contradicted the other one, nice try though.. next time slow it down and come up with a real point.

They are similar in some ways but Are pretty different really. Krav Maga is based on Instictive reactions and is designed to work under stress, The system as a whole is very well thought out and It's simplicity and down to fighting stlye is hard to match imo. While I have heard Hapkido is a well rounded combative stlye I would still prefer KM because of it's simpicity and design.

Royce Gracie would beat 99.9% of the people out there that are not trained fighters regardless of where the fight took place.. Against an untrained fighter he could proabably secure a break or choke in a matter of seconds... Even if he did not want to take it to the ground Royce has trained in striking for 7 years now so he would not be a fish out of water by any means. besides...everyone knows who Royce Gracie is.no one would ever attack him

thats intresting i hadent though of that....i'll have to tryt hat next time.

First I'd want to know why after a year or two they hadn't sparred It was simply an example..do you have people sparr full contact the 1st day of class?

No I didn't, you did. I said work on technique while going hard, not do them seperate. so if someone has been learning technique for a year or two but has never sparred...you belive if you put them in there their first time and said go at it 100% that their technique would be there? no..they would need to slow down some and get used to it then build their way up to full contact.

I was going to pick someone up and slam them once when they had me in a triangle...but since he outweighed me by about 50 pounds it didint work out too well Oh i forgot, small joint manipulation might be frowned upon in some cases.
