I agree! I just enjoy the show for the history aspects, and some of the training methods.

Actually I was refering to the fact that he did the eye gouge and still lost. Reminds me of saying a karate teacher told me years ago. "When two tigers fight, one dies now, the other later."

Its just a show

I think people are to afraid to look vulnerable. To many ego's. People don't want to loose face, if they add resistance or alive trainining to there techniques. It is a humbling experience. I think that is why some people avoid sparring/rolling or even technique resistance training. There are other factors too but that is one I wanted to mention.

good point!

I alwasy find that intersting too. Its thought if you poke the eyes the fight won't go on. Just shows some ones commitment and pain tollerance is at diffrent levels. Got to be prepared for any thing huh? Yikes!

I learned a interesting move off of the, Kimura, timing sweep, Guillotine combo. Where they defend the kimura by sitting back, so I place my hand out and scoot out using my hand that is over hooking the arm for the kimura to wrap between my opponents leg, I scoot out to the side to take the back. Seems like an omoplat is there also. Any way I found the move intersting.

Either way the topic's were going of the subject of the intended thread. However I say ths, I think we all agree, there is NO be all end all way of doing things accept for what ever works at the time. We train the best we can, and hope for the best when things hit the fan.

exactly generating power from the ground up. This idea took me awhlie to get when I first started training. My weight was up, I was steping for ward to hit, but I wasn't driving off the ground for that added power.

bushido man I agree with you both should be trained. But focusing on soley "Dirty Tatics" its not the best idea. Your technique fails, can up the level of agression of your attacker, causing more harm for the person. However using a controling or dominant position to throw the techniques from is more usefull. Good point.

That would be a no go. You can go try doing a dirty tatic. More likely then not the aggression level of the man, plus I have read some reports alot of the people are on some form of subsitence abuse at the time. It tickes them off and creates more escalation level for the women. If the women has control of her opponent. Its either to fight off the man. However its easier to apply from a controling postion.

Good points cross, how ever to practice those "dirty techniques" With resistance of your partner, and still be safe to your partner is rather difficult.

Its weird! His thoughts are my thoughts. He is better at writing and articluting him self. I really love his articles. Espcially since it is put in persective. UFC or MMA training isn't the end all be all. However you get those people think MMA training is the ultimate Then the other exterme is people that think there there techniques are to deadly, or train with compliant partners and theroize there training and think that is the ultimate also.

Teaches planting or grounding of ones weight. Which is important. Look at sparring how many people keep there weight up when throwing techniques there is no real power generated from driving off the ground you got to plant

Well...where does rape eventually end up? on the ground!

I see what your saying bushido_man,

This is another Article by Roy Dean, I found very intersting about the UFC. I hope people check it out. Has a unique perspective on it. http://www.roydeanacademy.com/articles/an_uchideshi_experience_chapter_eight

I definetly enjoyed that quote about tradition as well.

I really enjoyed his article as well as others on his site. Like I said very intersting perspective, as well as very well written and entertaining.

I always found Aikido intersting, I trained in it very breifly only a few lessons, I loved watching the demos. I think there is something in every art people can learn. However I found this Article by Roy Dean (BJJ Black belt and Aikido black belt, as well as an Uchideshi under a Traditional Japenese Jujitsu instructor) I found this Article very intersting, it is really well writen and captivating, showing a diffrent perspective on Aikdio and the Martail Arts in General. I hope every one reads it, let me know what you think of it. I think its right on the money. http://www.roydeanacademy.com/articles/an_uchideshi_experience_chapter_five

I think they are known for there own specific style of White Crane Training (Hakutsuru) I don't know much about them. I know one of my instructors, instructor (Tony Sandoval) Trained with the Kojo family when he was living in Okinawa.

Absolutely brother, I would love to train with him. I really want to train with his instructor Roy Harris. I like his teaching methods and training approaches.

True but with diffrent standards of instructors, as well as teaching ability, and knowledge base. Depsite the rank of the belt, who ever is promoted to shodan may not know all of the alphabet.

Hey no prob, I have been reading his other articles. I find it very intersting. Roy Dean defiently has an intersting perspective on the styles he has trained and on the Martial Arts in general.

This is an article written by Roy Dean (BJJ Black Belt, under Roy Harris) THis talks about what he trained in before and while he was doing BJJ. As well as how he discovered BJJ training. I found it very informative. http://www.roydeanacademy.com/articles/an_uchideshi_experience_chapter_seven
