Goju 4 Life Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 If you download UFC Greatest Knockouts from morpheus/kazaa/imesh/whatever one of them is of these two guys on the ground grappling and wrestling for an advantage. One guy is so wrapped up in grappling he gets elbowed in the temple and is knocked out. In my school when we grapple we don't strike because it's too dangerous to hit with no pads. How can one remeber to just smack someone while the try to lock you up? If i had to choose between karate and everything else, I would choose karate so i could beat up whoever made me make the decision and have everything else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinnieDaChin Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 when you get good enough at grappling youll kind of just know. also, you can train that way- you throw fake strikes while grappling. basically, eventually, it becomes natural.

GhostlySykanRyu Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 I wouldn't call that a mistake...I'd call it a good idea. To condemn the art of another is to condemn your own as well. We all have the same origin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gumbi Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 when you get good enough at grappling youll kind of just know. also, you can train that way- you throw fake strikes while grappling. basically, eventually, it becomes natural. Yeah, when you get further involved in ground grappling, the ideas seem to be the same- When attacking, its good to take away available space and when defending its good to create space. Much easier said than done, but MMA in itself is a very hard test of ones skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CQC Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Yeah, it's really a good idea to practice every aspect of a defensive MA, especially if it does happen to come down to a street fight. You always have to train for reaction time and muscle memory. In Kung Fu class we do constant fakes, kicks and punches, aiming for what we would consider "head height". One day my brother decides it's a good idea to smoke me in the arm a few times fairly hard (just for fun I guess), and I countered. Even though I swear I was aiming for his shoulder I smoked him right in the face. It was really odd, and when I meantioned it to my Sifu he said that it was most likely due to the routine I'd been doing everyday - it became instinct to counter and to counter at that particular area. Good training. "Beware the fury of a patient man."- John Dryden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
