Beer-monster Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Sorry to hijack you're post Rich but I thought that since this is a guard defense post, it would be best to mention my similar problems. I have the same problems as you but mostly I have no idea what offensive moves to do from a guard, all I can do hold tight and defend chokes, I can't get Ude Garame (Kimura) to work as it should and any attempts at chokes are mostly pushed aside (or we end up choking each other). Any tips, suggested techniques or help with using strangles instead of chokes. Mind, body and fist. Its all a man truly needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewGreen Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Beer-monster That is a rather big question.... Gi chokes - you need to use your legs and pull him in tight. Kimura - It's probably in your hips that you are missing, at least thats where I find most people have trouble. As you fall back get your hips out. Your leg should block him from pulling his arm in. Hip movement is the key to just about everything. Upward, side to side, spinning, rotatiting, etc. Move your hips. Open your guard. A closed guard is defencive, if you want to be offencive open it and use your legs. Work your sweeps, you're better off on top. Cycle what you are trying to do, don't keep working a failed attack Always be threatening to sweep, submit, stand or take the back. And cycle through them.

Treebranch Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 No, Budo Taijutsu rarely teach weapons techniques. (Sarcasm!)

AndrewGreen Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Let me rephrase it. Have you spent much time SPARRING on the ground with knives. More specifically for this question, in the guard with a knife. Andrew Greenhttp://innovativema.ca - All the top martial arts news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treebranch Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Both people with knives? No. One or the other with the knife on the ground? Yes. In the guard with a knife? No, but sounds interesting. My comment was to comment on another possible scenario, where it's wise not to be tied down to the attacker. That may be what he wants in order to cut your brachial artery or puncture your lung.

Rich67 Posted February 18, 2004 Author Share Posted February 18, 2004 In cases of grappling with an attacker who has a knife, I resort to some very proficient styles: GLOCK (an Austrian art), Smith and Wesson, and Black Talon. All of them are effective and the only thing I like to bring to a knife fight! Mixed Martial Artist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treebranch Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 The point I was trying to make is that you may not realize that someone is garnishing a weapon until it's too late. That's why staying on your feet as long as possible is very essential in real situations. In sport do whatever works.
