AngelaG Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Yes there are a few familiar posters on here, and possibly a few bewildered refugees stumbling in over the next few days as the KU bunch get blown the the four corners of the Internet world.

lgm Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Yes there are a few familiar posters on here, and possibly a few bewildered refugees stumbling in over the next few days as the KU bunch get blown the the four corners of the Internet world.Many karate people are resilient, adaptable and resourceful indeed. But, perhaps they are simply obsessed with karate and enjoy it in all its forms and in every ground they find their feet on. But being with familiar friends makes me nostalgic always Gene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewGreen Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Be sure your fighting stance is low, knees bent . Try to evade being held by the legs. But, if he does catches your legs, use gedan empi (downward elbow strike) to hit the back of his neck before or when he makes contact to free yourself. If you are able to evade being held by the legs, step back and execute a strong mae geri (front kick) to any part of his face and then use your elbow for a follow-up downward strike.If you are fighting a skilled grappler, this will not work. Not unless you got a lot of luck on your side and he is very sloppy...If you want to stop leg shoots you have to learn how to sprawl, no way around that. No other solution will work, and even with that you will still get taken down.If you are serious about learning to stay on your feet find a wrestling club. But as you are taking karate, I'm just guessing that MMA fighting is not your main priority, so why is this one particular threat such a problem?

b3n Posted September 30, 2005 Author Share Posted September 30, 2005 Ive been doing kyokushin karate for 8 years and am a shodan, and i would like to think i could defend myself, to a certain extent, against nearly anything. Just by looking at BJJ in action i can tell i'd have problems. My Nidan Grading!

AndrewGreen Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 BJJ may get the most press, but it'd be the wrestlers that can put you on your back the fastest Andrew Greenhttp://innovativema.ca - All the top martial arts news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

y2_sub Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 And run!RUN ?? Karate teaches you to RUN , am sorry but I think karate teaches you to avoid conflicts at all costs but if they happen I am not going to run away neither would my instructor and my fellow training partners Moon might shine upon the innocent and the guilty alike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
