Congrats. Awesome fight. How old are you man?

I consider myself to be experienced, but I still have a ton to Learn. Life time student.

I have never had this with grading but as others have said often experience this with competing. i usually only remember bits an pieces of my matches.

If you are already a BB you should have a general understanding of MA basics. Krav is very simple it is more of a philosophy of using the most devastating techniques necessary to destroy an opponent ASAP. I'm sure they are getting a beginner level instructor cert.

Great job. I hope to one day wrap a jitsu bb around my waist. I don't care how long it takes but will get ther 1 day.

Congrats Andy.

Hm..... Big fan of my master Ricardo Liborio. Encyclopedia of all things Bjj and Carlson Gracie Bb. I Also really like Frank Mir, high level of mma jitsu.

Then why post? My favorite styles are TKD, kickboxing, an BJJ

Coll thing Do you also shoot now with real rifles? In my rifle association we shoot with the SIG SG 550 (Standard Swiss military rifle.) I'm looking forward to have interesting discussions with all of you cheers T3chnopsycho / Leandro (You can call me how you like btw. ) On occasion. I don't currently own any fire arms. My favorite rifle I have shot is the AR-15. It's so accurate, an has little recoil.

Welcome aboard.

Welcome to the forums.

The seminar with Guru was amazing. The seminar focused mostly on Phillipino Martial Arts, we did Kali/escrima, and Pantukan or phillipino kickboxing. The principles all apply to the different ranges. Stick, sword, knife, and empty hand are all silimiliar. It was great for me and i have been trying to remember as much as possible. I took notes but in those two days there was so much info. I have been studying in an effort to retain whatever I can.

Good luck. wish me luck at my inosanto seminar. Is this your first tourney?

To me one of the most important things to focus on is footwork. How to advance, retreat, and move side to side correctly. Staying light on your feet. Throw combos not single techniques, and keep your guard up. Without seeing you spar, I cannot offer much advice. Like anything you need practice, and hard work to improve.

Welcome to the forums. Do you train in MA?

Welcome to the KF. I really enjoy rifle shooting as well. I grew up mostly with air rifles, cheap, noiseless, and able to fire in the city limits.

Does anyone here train or trained with eskrima. I have done some minimal training in the past, and the Inosanto seminar has sparked my interest in FMA.

I feel technique is essential, but can be trumped by strength and athleticism. Both have the ability to beat each other depending on the situation. I had a student who was 6"3, personal trainer, shredded, almost went into the nba. Now my technique was better, but he was super fast and kicked like a mule. I would have a hell of a time sparring him even though my technique sw better. At the same time I have seen how important technique is in jits with a smaller weaker person owning me with technique. It can go both ways and is a case to case basis. But if size, speed, athleticism, had no importance mma fighters wouldn't work so hard on conditioning.

I think it depends on what level of students you are training. If you training world class fighters it would hard to take them to a high level having not experienced the ins and outs of the ring or cage. But teaching to everyday students I would think it would be beneficial, but not necessary. Of course you would need a lot of sparring sessions to help bridge the gaps.

I was usually my masters uke and I know those beatings well. I especially love the judo classes where I would get thrown so hard I thought I was Gunna explode.

I don't think necessarily, but also kind of in a way, yes. Confused? Me too. Everyone really has their own style and method. You are taking what you've learned and your experiences and using them to mold your self-defense. So, what you do may be a bit different from what others do. So in a way, it is your own style. But, does that constitute the creation of a new style? Not necessarily. I could take the Hapkido I've done and add it into what I've learned with TKD, but I don't think that would necessarily mean I've created a new style. Just a different method and approach. I agree I think one should never limit themselves to one form or way of thought. If something works I include it in my arsenal. I am not necesarily just cataloging random techniques, but I am finding ways to do deal with attackers, And to overcome challenges they may present.

Great topic by OP. I agree I was watching an Allen Golgerg video where he was doing Wing chun. When an opponent hits you should not stop but continue the flow of the engagement. Stoping when hit or when your opponent is hit does not translate into S.D.

Maybe they weren't blind. But many martial artists did not train any ground fighting. Of course their were judoka and wrestlers Long before the UFC. However many martial artists just limited themselves to one art and thought that just knowing karate, or boxing was enough. When you look at the 1st UFC the only other fighter in the tournament with any knowledge of ground fighting was ken shamrock. Today still many martial artists are content with being one dimensional. Of course there are martial artists such as Bruce Lee who knew that to be a complete MAist all ranges of combat must be addressed. If you look at most of the Gracies they were on the opposite side of the spectrum. Incredible grappling, but very weak stand up.

The gi is a disadvantage to the person using it. If allowed it would just help your opponent establish grips. Unless your doing a "ninja" choke where you choke them with your own gi there are few tactical advantages to wearing one. If a gi is required then the bjj/sambo/judo practitioners would have a clear advantage though.
