I agree in that we can choose our clothes...but when we got to work , or go to certain places we may not. Yes.....About the stuff falling out of pockets you are right...doesnt really matters if ur life is in danger..It was just one thing more to say...

Nonono .....THe samurai would kill the knight with ´´ chi optic rays ´´ from his eyes , from 1 mile away.

Oh , gotcha ! I know what you mean . Yes..I use that often ... Tnx for the description. Well . we´ll wait 4 the vids

Hey..... I wonder how you do you use your training time..... At my gym , we do something like 70 percent grappling , and 30 strinking average .We put A LOT more attention in grappling always , because is the school attitude in mma. Our head instructor teachs much more grappling ( yeah , more ) to the new guys with no previus background on striking. New guys with w/o striking background usually dont learn to strike until they do know the basic moves of ground fighting and takedowns. How do ya split the training ?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fByZyLbttjM&mode=related&search= I found the PART II of what was posted first... Is worst than 1st one and with crappy music

Try to do that against cro cop----. And BTW....its seems very overacted....those guys are jumping to the floor like steven seagal´s movies.. Oh..and the second video is even worst !!!!!!!!!!! Looks like power rangers stuff

LOL

I would carry a mace bigger than a house deodorant if I ´d have to deal with Kimbo kind guys

Yes....I dont knot what T position is.... That maybe cuz my instructors do not talk english ...maybe we call it different

Hey bushidoman, kimbo was a convict . I have readen he gained skills in prison fights . So , you may meet some guy like him at work

Hey , what is your preffered take down ? Generally I choose to attemp a take down from the clinch , aimin´at the waist. Or traping legs from the clinch too (with my legs ). I find the shoot doble leg hard to achieve against a ´´good´´ grapler, or even single leg.... I have done those kind of takedowns to more unexperienced guys... Also I have a good sprawl...When I am taken down...usually its from clinch too. The fact of being heavy , with a non very flexible waist or low back may influence. Ie : I never was a good avoiding punches with my waist , its kinda rigid ( even when I was skinny and used to do just boxing)

Yes..take a practice with street clothes is a good idea....The problem is that is not posible to do in my mma gym now . And most of my mates just dont care ´bout self defense ( even those who are budokan chapmps) About the backback...is true that it may give me some protection...but I feel like a damn turtle ! I could keep the sraps loose , like lordariel said...not bad idea

I once spekead to a nutritionist , she was a women. I wanted a Diet to get more muscle mass. She told me that I was ok , and did not need that...but she made me a diet....nothing weird..... You should go to a specialized SPORT nutricionist...because many of the average ones work with women , or old people who just wanna loose fat...

hey !

How old are you ?

Hi.... Maybe what I say seems stupid , but. 1) I use jeans many times , and use traditional ones ( I aint liket wide, or rapper jeans). THey are kinda tight... I cant kick very well with ´em. In fact I broke several pants playing with some friends after a bbq ( yeah , I am an Idiot). 2)When I work , sometimes I got to dress formal ( you know , tuxedo stuff) . THose formal pants are confortable for kicking , but their pockets arent really deep or tight...and I am afraid of losing my things when fighting (they can fall from my pocket) 3) I carry a backbag many times....It really decreases my skill to move , or rotate fast , and even to punch. So , is possible to be battle ready in such conditions ?

It depends.....But If we dont have witness , and we are talkin´bout a dark nite : If some street punk attack me , and he fall and hit his head and then die.... I would probably get the hell out of there....I dont wanna risk my freedom. If for example , I broke his nose/arm , etc...I would run too.... Those lowlife people tends to go to trial to get ur money for civil damage ! In the actual world... criminal law tends to protect more the criminal than the good guy.. So , if no witness , no proofs....RUN !

I agree with all ninjer said... And , going to a concrete floor is not such a big problem if you know how to land ! ( even if you are the one taken down)

He pushed me several times.... Before mocking about my pirate costume (it was a costume party) .It started when the dumb guy asked me to give him some beer , and complained cuz it was warm , then talking crap about my costume ( cuz I had some black make up in my face )...and then talkin bad of me with several women , to look good himself.....

I´had a fight the other week end....Some cocky guy pushed me I just did a double leg, then went to mounted and then front choked him

This is and old post , but I see it now cuz its on the first page. Some man said here that , samurais where trained to dont be afraid of the death...that may be true....but for a knight , dont you think that the will to survive is an advantadge ? I agree , that many people see the eastern arts as superior to western..and that isnt true. And by the way..if a knight have a proper techinique and an important weight and size (ussually a fact , due the ethnic background), dont you think that a good technique + power could beat some good technique with a weaker and small body (generally) ? Knights dont train often ??? That is not true....and in some cases ( ie: Crusaders) their training was the constant ,dayly WAR. I put my money on the knight , if we are talking about a ´´standard´´ -if it is possible- knight and a ´´standard ´´ samurai. I mean , average...not a champ. But I M SURE , that some samurais could win to some knights.... BTW : I like these kinds of questions....I used to wonder in battles featuring King Kong and godzila or Who would win , a Macedonian spear man or a medieval pikeman ?

This is a good video of luta livre training Many people says that luta livre is BJJ without gi. It is very similar....and people from both styles hate each other ( not me . I dont hate people, and less M. Artists). In grapling tourneys , brazilian people had some riots because that. Some american writters call luta livre ´´BJJ evil twin ´´, cuz it is not so famous in the states. This sport also have some roots in Judo , but uses wrestling take downs too.The ground work is near the same of BJJ, but there are not so many trows. I have doing it for a couple of months...we train luta livre + thai.....and I love it.

There is a video of a young BJ Penn, fighting in a black belt judo tourney, when he was a BJJ amateur.... Is cool to see the differences there.

In some judo forum , some guys mock ´bout BJJ... They say that it came from judo...and If A contains B , B never could beat A. The newaza ( ground work) is similar to bjj ground work , I know what they mean. But judokas are less specialized on that.... Those judokas talk about the Kimura vs gracie fight....( were the grand master gracie lost) . But they dont mention tons of fights where bjj won... I think that many people does not know about the Judo ground techniques.. And I dont know why M Artists hate each other always

I don´t think that MMA could get into olympics...many people with mental problems think that MMA is a carnage. And about synchronized swimming , I just would leave the girls....I don´t like to see guys doing that stuff
