It happens a lot in MAs people start at all pumped up and then drift away. I have noticed over the years training in different arts in different places that it happens often.

I like spyderco, although my main carry knife is the Kershaw StormII. Looks like you made a great purchase there.

Elbows rule. they cause a lot more damage.

Also, there are many submissions in BJJ that are illegal in Judo which is one of the things I don't like about Judo..too many rules

Exactly why i wouldn't attend one of his seminars. If you need to put down other people's arts chances are you have no class nad it de-legitmizes you in my book.

Nice clip. Thanks for sharing.

In our classes, we do quite a bit of grappling, and we are allowed to grab/strike the groin, bite, use pressure points and many other things not allowed in normal BJJ. It adds a whole new element to the game

Judo is getting silly with all of it's rules. they take a lot of fun out of the sport.

Tallgeese put it best I think.

This is a rather old thread but have to say i have taken a class or two and while it looks hokey from a distance. I can say it wasn't too bad. has a bit of ground fighting in it. A lot of flow drills, and body conditioning.

Thanks for the responses guys

In The dept of corrections we have somethign called the force continuum. Basically in a nutshell. it requires us to use the minimum amount of force necessary to control the situation. For example, if someone is simply putting up passive resistance while being escorted, you wouldn't resort to hitting him with a billy or having a K-( dog attack him. At the same time if someone is trying to stab you, you obviously don't resort only to verbal commands. Most of it is pretty much just common sense. Same applies to civilians.

This past Sunday I competed in the RGDA internationals in NJ. After cooling my heels for about 4 hours before I actually got to compete, I get on the mat and end up getting tapped within the first minute ( arm bar) after the time I had been spending on the mat training and going and participating in tournaments, it seems like it's back to the drawing board. Now I don't mind losing, but losing that badly bothers me, it made me feel totally frustrated and depressed, thinking that by now I should have done so much better. I don't think i am that bad but I felt like a fool Anybody else that can relate

Welcome to the forums
