Trading needs the same "revolution" that martial arts went through 15 years ago

Quote from bjjtrader:

Sorry, a japanese jiu jitsu guy cannot take out 2 guys. Traditional japanese jiu jitsu is mostly TMA crap.

I was wondering how long it was going to take for someone to bring up multiple opponents.

Let me tell you the truth. Strikers have no advantage over multiple opponents. No MA is going to help you against aggressive multiple opponents who really want to fight.

If a pure striker cant defend a takedown from a single opponent, then he has no chance against multiple opponents. They simple have to tackle him at the same time and he is done. None of this BS hollywood stuff where one guy attacks at a time LOL

Ive actually grappled with 3 untrained friends at the same time and it was easy submitting all 3 fairly quickly. But if they were allowed to punch, the odds would suck.

Anyone can take out 2 guys if they are ruthless enough. If you go for the eyes, you can take out more than 2 guys ...
Grappling becomes difficult with any kind of strikes or small joint techniques.
Even Judo has a lot of ground techniques with Ne waza...

To be effective at an "advanced age" against younger and stronger opponents;
techniques like Judo and joint-manipulation works very well.
This was also the focus of female self-defence classes I have taught.
 
Quote from Gringinho:

The dirty boxing and unorthodox boxing is what makes MMA so different from pro boxing. Pro boxing is much more dangerous as a sport than MMA because of the repeatedly and long-wound strikes to the head. I know several now retired competing boxers who absolutely hate boxing and the damage it does to your brain.

Chuck Liddell is primarily a counter boxer, and he got knocked out cold by an overhand right from Sugar Rashad Evans in UFC88. The thing is that they have to deploy a very different defense than pro boxers because of the varied techniques of MMA. Therefore the monkey boxing defense is so popular as well.

Point well taken...
 
Quote from Gringinho:

My take on this is that each TKD club is different, and WTF are more woossies than ITF. Where I ran my club, we did full contact - and we also used elbow strikes extensively - and this was even before the 1990s... Then at university I instructed semi-full contact classes for a WTF club. There are e.g some kicks that are "impossible" to block, but which are quite slow to execute - like spinning heel kick and the backward kick ("horse kick") - and these are pretty devastating kicks if they hit. If you have the height and speed - a side kick Yop Chagi is pretty bad to take in the face.

Most MMA pro fighters have dreadfully bad kicks, and mostly do the Muay Thai kicks to the thighs. Joe Rogan also pointed out how there is still a good ways to go in the kicking department for MMA fighters. Mirko Crocop Filipovic had a simple strategy akin to Bas Rutten to go for the liver...

I also trained in Bruce Lee's style and we used to train to out strike an opponent with speed, one of the techniques was that we would wait out for an opponent's move then counter with a straight move, punch or kick that is faster and deadlier due to the on coming force; the technique requires keen observation and quick responses. In mma, for the exception of Anderson Sylvia (very similar with the straight punch) I haven't seen much use of this so efficient technique.

There was a Jeet Kune Do fighter in UFC88 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Boetsch .
He has been doing quite well. Speed is important - for every striking technique.
:)

Anderson Silva has Muay Thai, TKD and BJJ as his repertoire. Those knees made a permanent imprint on the soul of Rich Franklin...
:D
 
Does anyone have experience with Krav Maga?

I have practised Muay Thai but I'm not interested in competing. I have looked into fighting styles that focus on defending against multiple opponents, knife and firearm attacks. There's a school close by that's run by an ex-marine who's studied under Eyal Yanilov. I plan on taking a few lessons there to check it out. Is there anything I should know beforehand?

It supposedly is one of those schools that is so deadly they can't use the techniques in real competition.

A friend of mine who does MMA and BJJ called it out as total bullshit, just another esoteric martial art designed to get your money (please see the videos on this thread if you need a refresher).

So tread carefully.
 
What I understood reading about Krav Maga online is that it's not an esoteric martial art at all. It's a combat style that's taught in the IDF and Israeli Intelligence and security agencies. According to the wikipedia article it's also taught in branches of US Law Enforcement.

Did you see the upkick that abruptly ended the Dream 6 middleweight grand prix, Mousasi vs Jacare? Ouch! :eek:

Then you have Overeem's more direct approach... :D
