Pressure Points - mystical or basic biomechanics?
bushido_man96 replied to Jiffy's topic in General Martial Arts Discussion
I have used the goose neck lock in Combat Hapkido, and we used it as an escort lock. What I don't like about it is that it is started from a wrist grab. I think if a way to do it from another starting point could be used, it may be more useful. Once it is there, you have them locked in pretty tight, though. -
Grrr...what should i have done?

Well, I think the initial overreaction came about when he took the tone that he did with your son. I have to get on kids at class at time as well, but I never use that heavy of a tone, and I try to choose my words carefully. I can understand that you were angry. You could mention to the instructor the kind of actions this individual has been taking in and around class, if you are bothered about them. At the least, you may not have to partner with him again. -
brown sash worries
bushido_man96 replied to masterintraining's topic in Share Your Testing, Grading, or Promotion
If you have been training steadily, and have gone to class, and have met all of your requirements to test, then you should be ok. It is natural to be nervous, so don't let that get to you too much. As far as sparring the strongest sparrer in class, just give it your best shot. That is all you can do. If you give it your all, and don't hold back, then you should be proud of yourself. Best of luck on your testing! -
Ugh. My fantasy team lost again as well. I hope things turn around here soon. I can't win for losing!
-
Yeah, they are. It is sad.

Best of luck to you! Best tip I can give is to continue the hard work. It will pay off. -

Glad you had a good time. That is what it is all about, having fun. -
judo
bushido_man96 replied to french fri25's topic in BJJ, Judo, Jujitsu, Aikido, and Grappling Martial Arts
I would say go for it. I have been wanting to learn a ground based style for a while. It will not hurt you, it can only help, if it is a good club. -
Being attacked with a katana, what would you do?
bushido_man96 replied to Myth's topic in Martial Arts Weapons
Yes, running, very fast, until you fall down! -
Yes, but not all cuts come vertical or horizontal. If they did, sword fighting would be a lot easier. Many cuts are angled, in order to get to vital targets, like the neck, underarm, upwards through the kidneys or body in general. Easier to void or block these with a good cross.

Sorry for venting!!!!

Oh, I see. Hopefully you can get things squared away there. -
Big uniforms
bushido_man96 replied to CTTKDKing's topic in TKD, TSD, Hapkido, and Korean Martial Arts
Size 10...that is big. How tall are you? -
My instructor has had a few scopes. He always comes back, and is still going strong. Just give your body the time it requires, and don't push it. Best of luck to you!

That's cool! I may steal it!

Wow, that is something I have not heard before!!!

Straight arm counter
bushido_man96 replied to Konoko's topic in BJJ, Judo, Jujitsu, Aikido, and Grappling Martial Arts
Instead of trying to throw, try to sweep him instead. Or, you could turn into him with your opposite shoulder, wrapping his straight arm around your body, and then hip throwing him. I don't have much experience with throws, but thinking in my head, it may work. -
Very interesting, ered101. Welcome to KarateForums!

I like to use both snapping and thrusting techniques in TKD. The main drawback of snapping techniques is the lack of follow through. I also feel that techniques with follow through can be just as fast as snapping techniques; the difference is in the level of penetration.
-
I feel that elbows_and_knees makes a good point. Everything has its drawbacks. Some things are higher percentage than others, but they still have even little drawbacks. Punching, kicking, grappling, jumping, spinning, each has advantages and disadvantages.

Butterfly kick
bushido_man96 replied to cathal's topic in Choosing a Martial Art, Comparing Styles, and Cross-Training
Or, some people can't do it, or just don't like it. I like the Caporiea stuff, but I can't do it, so its usefulness to me pales in comparison to what I know that I can do. I would still like to learn how, though. -
Pressure Points - mystical or basic biomechanics?
bushido_man96 replied to Jiffy's topic in General Martial Arts Discussion
It just depends on how much they want to grit their teeth through the pain just to hurt somebody else. Sometimes the willpower can get them through the pain. I know this probably isn't likely, but it could happen. -
I thought that was right, but couldn't remember for sure.
