I just hope to hit .500 each time....

These repsonses are from the found...one hit, one kill thread, and it was brought to my attention that the subject in these posts might be worth its own thread, so I have started the topic here. Thanks for reading.

Welcome, bennyt. As to advertising, please refer to the user guidelines.

I could only view one of the sites above, and he had a pretty side-on stance. Unless he's got a steady hand, I prefer to have two on, like tallgeese mentions. You can opt for a slightly bladed body posititon, but it won't be side on.

The horizontal punch may tear skin, but this happens more readily with a glove on, I think. With bare knuckles, I think you can dig a cut in either way. And even if you can't, which is your goal? Cut the guy, or knock him out?

Hopefully, I'll get to see a replay of this fight. I've read, and heard some reports, and it was GSP just pretty much dominating Penn.

2-3-09 Defensive Tactics: 8:00 - 9:45. Reviewed for our Jail DT class that is next week. Did a few new drills, as well.

If you check out the website https://www.thearma.org, you can see some of the work being done on that end to preserve the Western Martial Tradition. I just wish there was a group near to me that I could work with. Right now, all I do is read up on the stuff.

That is one nice thing about small organizations that have easy access to each other. Its just too bad that the lower ranks can't get together and do this kind of thing, as well.

Welcome to KF!

That's pretty cool. Sometimes, just finding something that you have in common with someone will help things to take off.

Cute.

Those are some crazy messed up cakes. I'll bet there were some complaints, too.

You could even try this on BOB using the forearms as striking tools; they are very good tools for this, too.

I like the vertical fist better. I think that everything lines up in the forearm, and on up the chain, better than with the horizontal twisting punch. I don't think that a twist adds as much power to the technique as is thought.

Thanks for the advise, Fit. I don't mind getting sore at all; I kind of like it at times; it let's me know I have been working, at least. There are times, though, that is seems like I don't get sore, and others when I do.

1-31-09 Aikido class: 10:00 - 12:00. It was nice to finally get back to it, but next week, I'll miss it again, because I am going to be out of town to see the folks. Oh well. 2-2-09 Today is a bummer. I was sick the day before, and still feel kind of crappy. So I am taking it easy today.

I don't think that it has much to do with the "guns." Being overall fit, however, is something that would be, I believe.

It was...interesting, I guess. I'm not sure what the point of it was, though.

Well, I look at respect a bit differently than most would, I guess. I am not one to just respect someone because of some preconceived notion of stature or rank. See 9th dan, show respect....I'm not quite like that. Although I won't be disrespectful to them, I am going to have to know a bit more about someone before I offer some kind of blind respect to them. Now, this doesn't mean that I would treat them poorly, or say "sorry, I don't respect you yet..." or anything like that. I like to think that I am a generally nice person, and treat people as such when I encounter them. But, there is a difference in being nice to someone, and respecting them. I am a big proponent of earning respect, not demanding or expecting it.

I really think it is more of a major point than a minor point. The two can vary quite a lot, especially when you look at the example of the flying side kick. However, the circumstances involved in each case can change the effectiveness of a technique, especially if it may be the only one at your disposal at the time.

John, in writing, I like the way that you approach the training scenarios. I think it would be something worth exploring. From what it sounds like, you aren't hung up on the execution of certain techniques (technique requirements), but more with being efficient with your responses, and successful in executing them. Is that the case, or am I jumping the gun here?

These are some very good names that I don't think a lot of Western MAist know anything about. Ott the Jew especially. Another big one for Western Swordsmanship is Johannes Licthenhauer.

So cross, do you think that for the most part you see the changes taking place in the area of training methodology, as opposed to anything else?
