Hahaha naw man I’m not drunk it was pure entertainment seriously especially there was some huge jacked motherfucker…he was a monster…some small black guy comes up to me and goes…“ey man if some brock lesnar lookin ass muthafucka is yellin at me, im dippin outta here…peace man…you win!!..I’m outta here!”
lol…guy was a beast though…although he had his shirt off…bloody face from a bottle or fist…and he juts kept screaming…im sure it was quite intimindating…but his intentions mustve not been to do anything cause…well nothing was done. lol
Asides from that that’s an awsome job with the boxing man…everything will come together…it took me the same…I was so gassed after a round, then later it was 2, then 3 etc etc.
I’m sure your jab will be deadly…your so tall you can generate some power/speed off that jab…if nothing you will be able to stick it out and someone will walk right into it. You bastard you…short guys like me (5’9) gotta spar guys like you lol.
Not sure bout the wrists though…never experienced that…could be just getting some used to it and it might go away I’m sure…maybe someone else can chime in on that with the same experience.
Oh on a side note: BIG NEWS…I’m gonna be posting this shit everywhere in the combat forum…I met, shook hands with, GEORGE CHUVALO!!! He even spoke some serbian to me and wrote “All the best” in serbian on the card he gave me for autograph…This all happened at a pro boxing event I watched tonight…anyways this really made my night I just need to meet Mike Tyson now as well lol. Man just thinkin bout it gets me pumped up!!!
I shook hands with the man who went the distance with Muhammad Ali twice!! He is a big guy!
Alright I’m done…goin to bed, so I can wake up early and hit the bag! lol
this guy is a complete novice and tall at that. meaning he has a decent reach. learning how to use his hands effectively and throw punches will be quick and effective. i knew all the martial artists would disagree, But its still my opinion. i’ve seen many street fights and in general people throw punches. just counter and connect, simple and direct. proper blocking and movement is just as important as throwing a punch and this is the basis of boxing.
your stlye is relative to your opponent. if you get a guy who can fight you’re gonna defend and counter. if you come across a novice you can be aggressive and a bit more unorthodox with your punches.
I’ve sparred with martial artists. being able to kick dramatically changes the range of their attack, meaning you will be out of reach with your punches but they will be able to hit with a kick. this is a huge advantage but as a boxer your footwork and alertness is well developed and will help. confusing them with coming in and out of range, stepping inside quickly with a jab, parrying any attacks will then leave you with an advantage in hand. also if they miss with a kick they are open for a devastating right hand, something like tysons leaping overhand right hook. that said, an unskilled or unalert boxer will be battered.
im not saying either is worse or better, each fighter uses his own skills, a boxer coculd beat a martial artist but vice versa is possible depending on the skill of the fighters.
boxing is definately a first step i would reccomend.
My wrists don’t hurt during boxing but anytime after, they are in horrible pain, a sort of tendinitis extending down the entire brachioradialis, if anyone has any info, thx…[/quote]
Hey Dymdemz, do the muscles in your forearm feel ropey and tense? and do they hurt if you push your thumb into the muscle? Could be that they dont like all the repeated impact your subjecting them to with all the punching, so they’re tensing up. If this sounds like whats happening to you, try rolling/massaging them 3-4 times a day for a few minutes, they should come right after a week or two

add on top of that that 90% of the shit they show is for showing off and will never be applied in real combat. Its like all the guys I know that bought dvd’s on Systema and Combat Sambo saying spetsnaz does it so its great. The few I have seen it looks pretty and great against a plastic knife and a willing partner but how much of it is gonna work against a guy that really wants to hurt you.
Well don’t know how “serious” of a problem this guys is but you could always buy a taser or get a pistol with a conceal and carry license. Probably won’t have anymore problems after that !

The taser might not be a bad option if one were available. Still, if the guy has some sort of unknown heart condition and dies as a result of the shock, then you’d better be damned sure you know exactly what the self defense laws are in your area, what constitutes/justifies the use of deadly force, and what “level of force” a taser represents. Otherwise, you could potentially wind up in jail for quite a while, which is probably not something that you’d enjoy.
With the gun you’d definitely be using lethal force, and would have to be certain that you were justified in doing so. You’d also have to be absolutely mentally and emotionally ready/committed to using your gun if you pulled it. Otherwise it could very likely get you killed. On top of that, you’d better be practicing drawing it, deactivating the saftey (if there is one), aiming and firing it on a target under heavy adrenaline conditions on a regular basis if you ever hope to be able to use it effectively for real. You’ve also gotta understand the time distance relationship, the strengths and liabilities of firearms as weapons, etc…
And that’s even assuming that you can get a conceal and carry license in MA (which isn’t as easy as it is in some other states), or even be able to purchase a taser (since their sale is illegal in MA).

Yeah, for the most part what was showcased in that video was “exhibition” martial arts. Like you said, there was no resistance from the “uke”, thus they were pretty much just practicing fantasy. Some good athleticism from some of the members though, I’ll give them that.
Not saying that perhaps they don’t train with resistance at other times though. We have to keep in mind that we only get to see a (very public) sliver of their training in that video.

umm thanx sentoguy. that vid was posted to enforce my point that kicking is effective. even if you kick above the waist in the right situations. If swat can find it effective so can someone else who trains properly. keep in mind as well that athleticism and strength is displayed as well which gives them an edge. For the last time…Im not advocating “movie martial arts” for self-defense. yeesh
You keep putting up vids of people doing bullshit things showing off so your last sentence doesnt add up. If you dont advocate people do unrealistic moves why keep showing them? That Swat vid had showing off to look good written all over it and the San Shou vid had people doing crazy moves so you are presenting unrealistic moves but then saying you dont do them.
And kicking in any combat situation is not always the best move. If it gets caught or you miss you are fucked.

If that was the point you were trying to convey, then I would have chosen a different video. There was pretty much nothing in that video even resembling reality, so it really didn’t enforce your point very well. You’d have been much better off showing a video of a Muay Thai or MMA fight being ended by a head kick than that video, even though MT and MMA aren’t real fights either. At least in sport MA the other person is trying not to get hit.
And what was shown in that video was “movie martial arts” not reality martial arts; so if you aren’t advocating it, then don’t post videos that showcase movie martial arts as proof of what works.

That’s EXACTLY what I was thinking. That Jackie Chan bullshit is useless.[/quote]
I would be pretty impressed if I saw a guy fight like Jackie Chan did in Legend of Drunken Master. That movie had some amazing fight scenes.
I was listening to Joe Rogan podcast where he brought this video up and he had some really good points. You’re a tool if you’re training any combat sport or martial art for self defense. Most people will never get into a fight and the easiest thing to do is to avoid being in bad situations and bad places.
I just need to meet Mike Tyson now as well lol. Man just thinkin bout it gets me pumped up!!!
