really you tooo

Sam pai Kenpo can hit harder then mike.

His mom calls him "pumpkin head" He gets red in the face. But we have to call him "Sir"

Okay better!

Sorry got caught up in the moment. I will edit and get rid of the last part.

cool what did you think of the training reflecting back now compared to what you already been exposed to sevenstar?

Exactly sasori_te. People on here aree talking about doing one or the other it seems like. Glad I am on same page as some one else. -Jeff

Stinky people I will not grapple with. yuck! lol! okay I think I know the choke your talking about. is that the one were one forarm is in the opponets throat and the other around there head holding them so they won't base up. Basically one around the head is grabing the other arms ebow. And the one pushing in the throat the hand is is grabing the bicept. Basically called a box choke or other names. But does that sound like the same choke or diffrent? -Jeff

I know what your saying but I am not talking about surface hitting. Yeah if yout touch the surface and pull back its not going to hurt as much. Ex. round house kick. But if you go through. Example Muay thai round house kick. Then you get more power. But even in muay thai from what my friend showeed me your going through but you still bounce off so to speak you just have more through motion. same with a punch is you still make through power but you pull back as well. -Jeff

Kind of make it out like TSD and TKD pretty much do the same thing. only diffrences is that of the instructors weather its sport or self defesense. -Jeff

lol! What you learning in grappling class?

Yeah no kidding I agree I do feel sorry for the girls especially teh one who do grappling in there style. If they are paired up with a guy. I hope the guy washed his gi and his stinky * before training that night. Or its tapout by stinkmission. -Jeff

Thanks JohnnyS. There goes the flying armbar though in sambo events lol! -Jeff

I would look for succeful schools and see how they did there business modeling. Just becareful about business eithics. You want it a Win Win situation for you and the customer. Other wise you will be burned with a bad rep and probably lost of students and income in the end. Alot of succesful schools have good marketing promotions. Stuff like black belt programs, weapons programs for kids, They sale martial arts supply stuff, plus mutitude of other programs that do help the student but cost a bit extra which brings in the cash. Plus a good one that one of my old instructors is using. Is with his advanced students who are teaching. Who ever the help bring in they get a commission off of them and also a certain comission for every month that student stays in. This is a win win. The student gets incentive to bring people in and also helps students out to stay in more. This gives the new student more one one with one of the advance peopole with there needs in the martial arts. It works out nice. There are many things you can do. I would look through the web for something of profesional martial arts business and such and ask succesful school owners. -Jeff

Maybe I should ask this on the UG who knows. But whats the diffrence between Sambo and BJJ. I know sambo does quite abit of leg locks. Other then that what is sambo about? -Jeff

Is it the same stuff but diffrent name and maybe diffrent arrangment of forms. Or is there actually quite a bit of physical diffrences on how the excute the moves. Both arts rely heavy on kicks right?

No worries I do the same. Take it easy!

I would like to compete in MMA so I would do Muay thai and BJJ. -Jeff

Loyd Irvin is phenomanal but I thought he was mainly for Gi training. Hmmmm -Jeff

If you want to damage a human being, you are going to need to penitrate. You can bounce your movement, but you will need to go farther than "one inch" before you do or all you will do is sting. I quoted that from Jerry love, my point exactly. You need both. You stay on the target you can cause alot of damage but if you penetrate and bounce you cause even more. -jeff

thats cool story Karate kid. But one question. What is a dobok? Is that same word for a GI? or is that something diffrent. I am sort of thinking maybe one of those Akidio type dress things but I am not sure. -Jeff

style or technique does have a play in this. I don't think Royce would win against Shamrock now like he did in the first UFC. Do to lack of knowlege of the ground work by fighters. But now knowledge is out there and so is hte counters and training in and adpation ot compete against grapplers is out there. This is one reason why I think the clinch is going start being more a huge part in take downs. Do to people getting reallly good at sprawling on shoots. It is both the invidual and the style or training methods. -Jeff

Welcome to the forum.

I hope the students can discern between when to use that technique and when not to. If they get mounted by a good grappler. they are in a for a rude awakening. Via KTFO! or something going snap!

You can do both. You focus on punching through but once you make contact or some penitrating contact you pull back.
