who are obsessed about sportsmanship and sheepdogging and making sure everyone is always "nice" 100% of the time
ideal martial art for christians
Sounds like cuck shit
homoerotic and full of power rangers
Oh
I just do it for the sport. It's a good game. I don't really care about the self defense part.
That sounds like the worst thing ever
I hate people who are too nice
You know they're judging you on the inside and compensating outwardly
It's nice to be friendly with your training partners. You can't be good at it alone.
yeah that's why I am only a mediocre grappler but an excellent striker
striking is far more antisocial
you can rig up all kinds of training tools and drills to hone your slipping, power generation, reflexes etc
But that's why I don't really mind that that guy goes hard with me. I don't want him to cheat me because i won't get better.
wrestling requires a person to wrestle
someday when I have money I will do a year of bjj just to be familiar with their tactics, take what is useful to me and know how to counter BJJ people well enough to pummel them
Just join a MMA gym
speaking of odious people
I like the idea but I prefer to seek out experts in niches
I'm the sort of guy who would go study thai boxing and bjj separately
like if you want to test it live rather than just hypothesizing
I have other ways for that
basically I scrap with somebody 2-3x/year, ideally a stranger, on friendly arranged terms
I want to go in knowing nothing about them or their methods or whatever and just see what happens, then spend months microanalyzing it, identifying weak points, drilling, conditioning
watching videos of sport & security cam situations like it
SoCal has some of the best bjj gyms around
go train with kron gracie
Martial arts seems like it takes quite a bit of time
yeah there's a gracie gym around here somewhere
It would be a useful skill, for sure
I have a friend who does it
I should wrestle him to learn
smart bjj guys are incorporating a lot of wrestling now
it has better takedowns
and practicing the pin generalizes to MMA well for ground & pound
yeah
I'm pretty sure that's why romans made that the winning maneuver
I'm mostly in it for the social hour and exercise
I want to start taking climbing more seriously
I don't know how to make my hands any stronger than they are
