Martial art limitations
bushido_man96 replied to Alan Armstrong's topic in General Martial Arts Discussion
Well said, Alex, and I agree, especially when it comes to the training methods. Someone who has the time to devote to that kind of training is going to probably have the advantage over someone who is more of a hobbyist, or has a schedule that is more restrictive when it comes to training time. -
Early trading and travel between the cultures.

Workouts At Home
bushido_man96 replied to JMulford79's topic in MMA, Muay Thai, Kickboxing, Boxing, and Competitive Fighting
I'd say some bag work, doing timed rounds, and some rope skipping for timed rounds. -

Excellent breakdown in that video. Really like how he explained all that. -

I'm trying to, Bob. I'm hoping to get back to class sometime, and pick up my training in other areas, too. You should see Kendall work in the gym. He's the real beast! 6/6/2017 Strength Training Squats: warmups: 45x5x2, 135x5, 155x5, 185x3; work sets: 205x5, 205x5, 205x5. Press: warmups: 45x5x2, 65x5, 95x3; work sets: 115x5, 115x5, 115x5.

Keep up the good work, Bob! -
How important is your Footwork?
bushido_man96 replied to Alan Armstrong's topic in General Martial Arts Discussion
As the others have mentioned, footwork is very important. A big, strong striker that stands like a statue and swings will eventually get overworked by someone with good footwork. Holly Holm used good footwork and distancing to win her fight with Ronda Rousey, and there are tons of other examples out there to boot. Olympic TKD uses a ton of shuffling footwork to set up kicks, counters, and combinations. -
Body Flow In Martial Arts
bushido_man96 replied to Alan Armstrong's topic in General Martial Arts Discussion
Although non-martial artists may not have the catalogue of techniques that MAists have to pull from, if they are any kind of an athlete, then they will be adept at moving their body to do what they want it to. They have good kinesthetic awareness and some natural talent that works in their favor. -
Member of the Month for June 2017: TJ-Jitsu

Congrats! -
This is an issue that has come out of the MAs, in my mind, as a direct result of the training of forms/katas. If stances are supposed to be transitional in nature, what's important is what happens during the transition. However, with the move-stop-move-stop approach to training kata, and with the gradual introduction of aestheticness in watching forms, these strict ideas of what a stance should and shouldn't be have taken hold. So now, we fuss and fuss over what a stance looks like when the students are walking up and down the floor during basics and forms competition, instead of really worrying about what the stance is supposed to do.

Did the Spartans just yell at each other? Is that really how they settled arguments? Is there a source on that? Also, 300 and Troy are not documentaries, they are movies, made for entertainment.
-
The other thing to consider is how much time do others have to give to both? Time you spend doing ballet techniques is time spent away from doing MA techniques for self-defense and what-not. In the end, I think it really comes down to how much time you have to spread around to do all the extra training (not to mention resources).

Sports medicine vs Mother nature
bushido_man96 replied to Alan Armstrong's topic in Health and Fitness
Sports medicine is about keeping athletes on the field or getting them back out onto the field. -
I don't think wisdom is only oriental and philosophy only Greek, or vise versa. We all have philosophical ideals, whether we refer to them or not. All cultures have wisdom; it isn't the sole invention of the orient. Philosophy is based on what you believe and how you approach aspects of life. Wisdom is taking what you've learned through your life experiences and applying it to the events that happen in your life.

I agree that some of it could be useful. But I also think that if a Martial Artist spent his life not ever touching ballet, he wouldn't be missing out on all that much.

So you think you are rough and tough?
bushido_man96 replied to Alan Armstrong's topic in General Martial Arts Discussion
Its good to see people mix it up in sparring from time to time. You see those who like to bang a little, but keep it under wraps, and hope that others will try to up their game a bit, too. I like to put on the boxing gloves from time to time, just to get in and take some shots to the head and try to fend them off. -

Renewing myself...or at least trying to!!
bushido_man96 replied to sensei8's topic in Health and Fitness
You're right, of course, even though it is quite upsetting. One question, Brian, doing deadlifts, in which I do agree, can bet my back stronger, however, with a pinched nerve and a few bone spurs, won't my back still be chronic for the rest of my life?? Losing the weight...changing my life for a much more healthy lifestyle...and all, to save my life, but to also take the unnecessary pressure off my back, is paramount in my weight loss journey. Well, I'm no doctor, but I'm guessing you will likely have chronic back pain for the rest of your life. But that happens to lots of bipeds. I have back pain here and there, as well. But, something else I do know is that being strong is never bad.
