on the topic of what to do when your leg gets caught

lol

Hahaha

Hahahah

The guy on ground must’ve gone into the guard when that kid likely fell on him because that looked like a hard hit

just got done seeing this one

god damn

Was wild

So... a buddy (of ours) who I’ve trained BJJ with for over a decade (he actually red pilled me) and I are putting together a “mma” system of self defense.... for example ... we want to focus on self defense that is applicable without wraps and gloves (we’re avoiding a lot of hooks and knock out power strikes… We are keeping our hands lateral when striking) .... techniques that are usable in real life situations... that avoids going to the ground and playing a strategic Brazilian jujitsu game for over 30 minutes… Because as we all know getting kicked in the head doesn’t feel very good… So we are working a system that involves lots of elbows, knees, head butts and big body mechanics… I encourage everyone to look at the Marine Corps martial arts program… Or simply called MCMAP @Deleted User .… I bring it up because I would really like some input from all of you… Techniques and strategies that you all think are important to incorporate etc.… i am absolutely open to all styles even though we are leaning more wrestling, boxing-ish....I’d like to streamline this curriculum... write it down and distribute it .....and make it accessible for our wives, girlfriends(hope they don’t meet) and children...
Input appreciated...
Thx Fam

@Punisher Coming to Denver? You could host a class there.

Not anytime soon my friend... sorry @Wood-Ape - OK/MN (bad-ass handle btw) any sig?

Sig?

hate to say it but

krav maga?

Eh, I did some of it

I feel it has the same problem that all other styles tend to

practicing unrealistic orunintuitive things

I don't know but I've heard a lot of great guys tell me that krav maga is one of the most practical martial arts out there. That's kinda what they designed it for. Practical hands-on self defense for soldiers, etc.

Clearly I.E. can make sport and cultural waves by monopolizing the revival of Gymkata. 😋 https://youtu.be/5keiiLMIuuc

Great post @Punisher

@Tyler0317 would have some thoughts as well I’d wager

@Punisher I am/was a MCMAP brown belt

No shit^

Legit Tyler

Tips hat🎩

Tyler’s legit

My Brazilian jujitsu instructor was also a MCMAP instructor so that’s probably feeding this ....

I have the crooked nose to prove I can take a punch, lol 😉

Hopefully most of us in this forum do…

^^

I'm conflicted on MCMAP

I liked it a ton, but then got into MMA after leaving the .mil,,, SO much of the basic self-defense stuff doesn't work well against other skilled dudes.

We are then left at that eternal crossroads,

-Do we train to defeat skilled opponents, because those techniques are 'tried and true'.
or...
-Do we train to win as quickly as possible against the most likely(unskilled) opponent.

@Rogue The issue with Krav is it's is unspar-able

I don't know of a way to train groin kicks and eye gouges with a sparring partner, lol.

I remember eye gouges in MCMAP

haha

Good point on the crossroads, tho.

@Punisher @Tyler0317 Okay, so having had some time to think about it, my first suggestion is defense on your feet. Literal defense. Fighting withdrawal, defending while back-pedaling, defending haymakers; basically, the art of getting out of there while being attacked (sometimes by multiple opponents) without turning your back

Yes Will. Agreed. Have you ever looked into the idea of “stacking” opponents?
I’m a about to teach a class... I’ll be back in about 2 hours and we can chop it up if you want.. or we could VC if peeps want in?

Would be nice to schedule a VC with all the brains on this

For real right!??

most nights at 9 my time (6 your time) work for me

I PM’d @Tyler0317 I was gonna try to connect with him as well tonight... 6 works for me tonight ... hopefully he can make it..

rgr that lemme know

I'm free at 9pm central tonight

Don't let me hold back progress though

Can we do a different night? Would be good if all of us could get together at once

@Punisher @Tyler0317

Sure.

I'm generally free after 6 central

@Deleted User

Sounds good @Deleted User I’m smoking some salmon....

How about tomorrow night? I’m free all evening on Wednesday

Fellas, how can I bully my local friends into sparring regularly?

I talk about training like it's the most awesome thing in the world, until they ask a question

To which my response is "Dude let's go spar at the park right now, I'll teach you!"

Dont ask, tell

@Deleted User Easy. Attack them when they walk out of their houses.

true...

also, I'm mainly trying to get my buddy with the octagon in his backyard to hop in lol

it's too perfect

He has an octagon and doesn’t train? That’s like having a beer and not drinking it.

That's like owning a motorcycle but you don't ride

Dude, who puts an octagon in their yard... That is both awesome and incredibly impractical 🤣

it was for some like middleschool dodgeball kind of sport a long time ago

but it's just a decent sized wooden octagon with dry dirt ground

@Deleted User gagaball... no relation to "Lady" Gaga.

Popular at YMCA camps.
By magnitudes the most injury-causing activity.

Get twenty fifth-graders in there and that octogon becomes barely distinguishable from a Nigerian street fight

@Deleted User @Punisher I'm home for the evening.

Give me a holla when y'all are free to talk.

@Deleted User hey boss I’m at work..... is 6:30 my time too late?

That’s 9:30 my time - I can handle that I think.

Thats 830 central, i'm game

I’m fading fast lads. May have to meet without me tonight

Sleep cuck 😴

I’m the only one in all of IE that goes to bed early

😉

The older I get, the less sleep I need.

6 hrs is a full recharge for me.

Wow I need 8

Well I made it

Finished my on boarding for the martial arts gym tonight. Can hit up class everyday now, psyched
