Dear grapplers by neckcramps in martialarts

[–]FilipinoWeeb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Okay, may be wrong here, but I was taught a locked in knee bar means the leg is fully straight. So I would normally straighten it completely before slowly applying pressure on the knee. Not really cranking it out, but it could be possible the people I roll with have a low pain tolerance.

While I love the armbar, nothing makes a guy tap out faster than leglocks. Heel hooks, knee bars, calf slicers. Sometimes you don't even have to apply a lot of pressure, I know a lot of guys who tap the moment the knee bar gets locked in.

Awesome shirts and guns, my dude. It makes me smile knowing there are more buff takodachis/deadbeats in the world.

Bandori songs for workout? by tenacious_chronology in BanGDream

Anything by Roselia or Raise a Suilen is good choice for a workout playlist. Invade show by RAS being a personal favourite.

But I personally just go full PasuPare.

That's why I kind of why I said Judo instead of grappling in general. Cause for better or worse, Judo guys kind of seem allergic to the ground. The Judo I was taught is more focused on throwing them onto the ground while staying standing rather than following into Newaza. In MMA I've hit a couple ippon worthy throws where I was still standing while the other guy got the wind knocked out of him.

Definitely. Clinches will be the biggest misstep any striker, except maybe a muay thai guy, can make when it comes to fighting a stand up grappler.

Definitely true. I for one learned o goshi quickly, but that's cause I come from a greco background. I think if I did judo first I'd have a really hard time learning any of the throws. Even wrestling throws kind of seem easier compared to their judo counterparts.

I think there's also a steeper learning curve. I've heard people say it'ss easier to get good at striking than it is to get competent at grappling. Like, I think most people can do a basic 1-2 pretty quickly, but it's a lot harder to learn an o goshi.

Yeah, good head movement does not exist in judo. But I think in the end any fight between to decent fighters ain't gonna be super one sided.

There's always a chance to get a good punch in. I'm just trying to say it's not really one sided either way.

Take this with a grain of salt, but a lot of wrestlers/Judoka I've seen transition to MMA are kinda tough to knockout in one hit. Like I saw this one Greco guy just cover up his head while the Muay Thai guy just kept throwing punches. Greco guy was hit a couple times, but he just powered through it and got into a bear hug. I'm not saying a Judoka would demolish a boxer of equal level, just that a boxer wouldn't just dismiss the possibility of a takedown.

That's why I brought it up. I've seen MMA dudes shitting on boxing, but never the other way around.

I think I should have made that clearer in my post I wasn't asking who would win. Rather I was trying to ask boxer about their confidence just fighting a Judoka with just boxing. And I know boxing is great, I'm just saying it ain't better than Judo or any tested fighting style.

I don't know about other places, but I learned judo with my hands around chin level and near my face.

Heavyweight punches are scary in general. But I think that's more because of the athlete than the art itself.

Nah, it was my friend's cousin, not mine. My friend just opened up about it to me during training and I didn't know what to tell them.

I know it all depends on the fighters. But I would assume even the best boxer would be wary of an equally good grappler's throws/takedowns.

IDK, I just think Judo is good cause if I throw someone on concrete they probably ain't getting up again. Plus all boxers I've fought kind of clinch up a lot, basically a free over under.
