it's harder to use then it looks

oof, that's a thing about martial arts

easier to understand the technique, harder to apply it

the triangle armbar is 1 of the easier ones in the video

just like physics smh

yep that too

it's an arm breaking technique as well as a choke

but you risk getting slammed

oof

tbh i just wanna be atleast capable enough to twart any attacks

and i probably suck ass at it considering ive never been openly attacked

but, hopefully when the time comes, i don't die?

just run

even if you can fight it's better to run

ofc first thing imma do is run

ofc

i'm just thinking about emergencies

like in case i really really gotta fight

you need to practise that stuff a lot honestly

i hope i don't die out of my own accord rip

uh huh

and quite frankly it can also be difficult to find legitimate instructors

uh huh

there's red flags to gyms that people don't know about

you better teach me muay thai if i ever am in uk

like?

so many xD

bruh i'm naive, spell out those red flags for me

if they don't offer free trials, if they don't do sparring, if they say that they have a certain technique that works on anyone every single time

non resistance training

non resistance training?

also, anything that doesn't give out free trials first thing (if it is a long term thing) can be doubted on sight

it's usually a scenario where 1 person is given a toy weapon and "attacks" the other in a predictable pattern and lets the defender pull off some elaborate and beautiful looking move

pretty much yeah, because if they don't give people a free trial it means they just care about making money

oof, that could help a beginner

exactfucking ly

what could help a beginner?

god, so many cases, especially in the coachinf business, can you see those that do not give out free trials to be mad shady

non resistance training?

it doesnt

sounds like you'd need to learn on a dummy first
