I agree but you guys are talking about a sport. Not a street fight where you don't have a ring, rules, equipment

I think the stuff I did for competition - totes useless for street fighting

but at the end of the day, being tiny and 50 kilos soaking wet means I will still get beating by a dude regardless, so it's not like I think it's going to be the end all be all

But other elements of it - def useful

kbwiiszxubzyx exactly, while modern MMA like BJJ could be used in a street fight

Which honestly don't teach you effectively

STOP FIGHTING DOGS

I know right?

No not all, but most classic martial arts is useless

Can we just feed the dogs ?

Is what I meant

yes let's feed the dogs

Eh but there's so many different martial arts

I feel that somebody would have to be a trained fighter to beat me on the street in some place that actually would be an issue. Like a street, bar, etc. Most people are not. I'm not saying I'm a tough guy but after 10 years of training, I am 90% sure I'm going to strike your eye, neck, rib, something before you realize what is happening

I do agree tho that there's a lot of shit martial arts teachers and schools tho

oh yes

yeah but that's because there's a lot of shit EVERYTHING

This is my third martial art

Haha so I started to get into boxing and wanted to do more grappling stuff but then started nomading

But I feel it's pretty effective most of the time. It's a blanket statement but I just mentioned a problem with BJJ. Multiple attackers are an issue

yeah the problem is martial arts is hard to do nomading

Now I can just throw my trad rack at someone and call it a day

aerial silks is another thing I wanted to take up but it's super hard to do nomading

Yea I think a lot of arts have areas of critique

So I'm talking about something like this www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1F-vXRFgyM&t=63s

I do like to think that even if I'm petite and did more of an Olympic style sport having gotten punched and kicked in the head for like 15 years hopefully that factors into me having enough wherewithall to eye jab and bite

These are really attacks from not a pro fighter (but are you a pro fighter) but effective in about 90% scenarios. We could nit pick which is why I don't get really involved in martial arts talks. They all attempt to shit on each other

Shall look when in cafe UCB6ZHPDY!

Really defense against attacks which is what most people need from a self defense. Not a sport. Not a game.

👍

lol true

realistically what will happen is I'll just cry

Self defense classes by police trainers are probably good, no martial arts woo woo stuff

Is there a name for the kind of martial art that emphasizes not fighting, but also not running away? I think this guy has a black belt in it (slightly NSFW) t.ly/wmbne|t.ly/wmbne

I do Krav Maga, I’m at the green belt. I would say there’s some practical stuff and stuff I would never use.. so in general maybe too much stuff to learn, but better than nothing. And I like the exercise anyways so.

I would put almost every martial artist that I know that has been training for something like 20 years up against any of those police things ( which is a martial arts/fighting system in itself). The reason why those programs exist is because they are trying to get the best bang for the buck. What I mean is that to be a police officer you need to be somewhat proficient in a self defense within a small amount of time. Let's say a year. Most do not have the luxury of training years. Those years really matter. I think the only way people can be convinced of this is actually training with someone like that. It almost seems like magic. The devil is in the details and that is all we are talking about. Most martial artists take years to be somewhat decent. I've trained with people that I know 100% could kill me. I'm not saying that as a sensational thing to say it's that their skill is so finely tuned that what ever I do, they can exploit. If my line of my punch is off they can divert it, if my balance is on one leg a bit much and they realize that, they can pull/push/sweep the leg and so on. They seem to have a counter to all of my techniques. That is what I was talking about the dog pulling you. That is what dogs do. They pull apart things. If I can feel that this is happening, I don't fight the dog, I go into it. The dog needs you to fight it to tear the flesh. If I go with him, he does not get the desired effects. The effect would be like trying to go down the dogs mouth. I know this is a ridiculous thing but if you think about what I said, it totally makes sense. This could buy you enough time to find the eyes. Why? because the eyes are right by the mouth that is biting you hence.

Yeah, there’s like stuff Attack with a knife from the side, attack with a knife from diagonal etc… Under pressure, try to remember quickly what to do in all these situations… not sure it’s possible unless you practice like 6 hours per day

That's where I feel I'm at. It's like What Bruce Lee talked about (does not matter if you love him or hate him) he does not fear the man who trained 10,000 strikes, he fears the man who trained one strike 10,000 times

Better event not to use your fists -> open palm is better

true. That was a sign of a skilled fighter

I guess that could go in the fitness channel 🤷‍♂️ 😄

AND THAT IS HOW YOU DEFEND AGAINST ROGUE PETS

i saw my dog nemesis again today

Like dogs in Chiang Mai in the back alleys at night VS the day. 2 different kind of dogs (even if they are the same individuals)

xrzhylmlljwo so true

Should not forget "Everyone has a plan until they get punched" so probably taking any martial art will train you to not freeze when shit hits the fan

It just gives you more chances of survival IMO and better reflexes, but you won’t be like Jason Bourne unless you train full time (even then)

I took aikido as a kid and recently someone tried to tackle me as a joke on the beach and realised that after 10 years those reflexes still came out. That was a pretty comforting feeling tbh

I have to bite the bullet and take some classes when I get back to the US.

This actually is a great conversation about real world tactics. I think I'm going to try and put together a video emphasizing the points I'm trying to make. People are confusing what the difference between 'real' and sport. Sports = rules. Real = no rules. I'll attempt to show techniques of what I mean by both. This is not trying to prove somebody wrong it's more about asking yourself honestly what you want from a martial art. Youtube is terrible and most videos are from very enthusiastic students with maybe a couple of years at best of training pumping out videos. Most skilled practitioners would never really get involved in that because....why? Most talk about things like this is an exercise in the dunning kruger effect. Like anything, the more you know about something the more you realize what you don't know. I'll attempt to approach it from an objective point of view and also with the realization that every system has its flaws and weaknesses. You just have to decide what you need from it. Hopefully this will be a learning experience for myself and others. Also fun. 🙂

I need to invent a phone for cats. I really want to be able to call Señor and ask him how he’s doing.

I remember being a whole subreddit of “texts with dog” - can’t post links, but they’re funny enough to google

Hahaha. Yep.

These are fantastic.

Can anyone translate or are those fake characters?

It’s Japanese kana which is a syllable based alphabet.. the cat is saying “sasarere”.. the ladies are saying “seru seru”. Translation suggests cat is saying something like “I bite” and the ladies are possibly calling the bluff “do it” .. there’s probably a pun in there somewhere, “rere” seems like a possible sound effect for purring
