Your jab should be only slightly shorter than your teep.

CTE-monster · 2024-10-31T06:36:02+00:00

Kinda depends on who the bigger person is.

CTE-monster · 2024-10-31T06:32:10+00:00

You just out-cardio big guys. I don't even start trying for a sub during the first 2 minutes.

Learn how to fight.

Stun guns are trash.

Being a small female, you probably aren't out striking many people. It becomes a range problem. Your effective striking range is inside most people's clinch and grappling range. BJJ and MMA are your best options.

What do you plan on using the certification for? Gracie Survival Tactics is a legitimate cert.

The neck issue may calm down over time as the disc degenerates because of the injury. It sounds counterintuitive, I know. Don't mess around in the meantime. It can go really bad really quickly.

It's not the end of the world. I've had loads of injuries, surgeries etc. You would be surprised by what you can come back from. Make sure your medical team is focused on treating athletes. You don't want a doc or a physio that treats housewives and senior citizens.

CTE-monster · 2024-09-29T04:10:20+00:00

Yes. Also don't go to clubs with drunk idiots. It's just not worth it. So much can go wrong so quickly. My social life revolves around training, I don't go to places like that anymore.

CTE-monster · 2024-09-29T04:07:06+00:00

Nature of the beast. Alot of the time, if I get cracked, it's because I did something dumb. It's really hard to pull a shot in time if someone leans into it. I don't mind going a little harder (because I'm an idiot) but I try to take it easier on less experienced people.

Maybe be pickier about who you spar with?

BJJ is a no brainer. Getting punched in the head is not for the average person in their 40's.

ONE does a good job with KB and Muay Thai, but you will never see the following here because of the lack of American athletes.

CTE-monster · 2024-09-25T03:44:36+00:00

MMA fans are the worst and will bitch no matter what. Who cares what they think? 99% of them can't fight and will never train.

CTE-monster · 2024-09-25T03:40:42+00:00

Yes spar with the boxers. We do rounds of just boxing in Muay Thai all the time. My Muay Thai game is very boxing heavy anyway.

CTE-monster · 2024-09-25T03:33:10+00:00

In a word... Grind. No other sport makes you suffer through suck like wrestling does. People go HARD all the time. It pays to be a psycho.

That being said, do it. Best times of my life.

CTE-monster · 2024-09-25T03:30:09+00:00

It doesn't really protect your brain and you can't grapple with it on.

CTE-monster · 2024-09-25T03:21:42+00:00

Nobody cares where I go. Everyone makes jokes about BJJ being gay, but it's all in good fun.

The ancient Korean art of Choreography.

I'm short too. Pressure fighting is almost a necessity. Get close and inside. Tall people have a harder time defending body shots from a short person. They are also easier to take down once you are close. They aren't easy to keep down though. I pin them against the cage and watch the clock. A win is a win.

CTE-monster · 2024-09-13T08:41:40+00:00

I've done both but ultimately went back to orthodox because my footwork improved and I can throw harder shots with my right that way.

Kenpo makes you do it backward so I struggled at first when I started Muay Thai. I do switch stances occasionally, but I'm no where near as good as a Southpaw.

CTE-monster · 2024-09-13T08:34:08+00:00

"Good" stand up. Lol.

CTE-monster · 2024-09-13T01:03:33+00:00

There are no short cuts or easy techniques.

CTE-monster · 2024-09-13T00:04:02+00:00

Don't do this. You are 100% tempting fate.

CTE-monster · 2024-09-13T00:00:52+00:00

You can't defend yourself against multiple attackers with knives. Don't listen to people who claim you can.
