As a former player who has fought many times in hockey (not the NHL, obviously) I have to say thanks so much for this. It’s long been my opinion that hockey fights tend to go on with little innovation, and Ive always wondered what a highly skilled and knowledgeable person like John would think to do in a hockey style fight. He is right in that one choice of places to grip will be upper chest, collar area, and when this happens, the idea is to straight arm your opponent to keep him from being able to reach your face with his fist. You can use this grip to try to maneuver his position, and you can actually throw little jabs in his face using the same hand you grab that jersey with. However, the fist in armpit maneuver is something that I did not know about, and it seems like just the type of thing I hoped to learn about here, so thank you for that. Conversely, however, an even more common grip than this one is the upper arm grip on the opponents strong side. If you get a good grip there, you can literally prevent him use of that swing. Of course, he will do the same thing to you, and this makes the fight a little less active in terms of punches landing, but the constant attempt to pull the other guy off balance is where they find the openings. I also didnt even know that the best place to punch is the side chin, lol. I think generally we don’t bother aiming that much. But it’s good to know that perhaps this is something that should be learned. One thing I would ask John if I could, is with regards to perhaps some techniques that help to actually pull an opponent off balance like that. I say this because it is extremely difficult to do unless you’re much stronger than the other guy. It is more difficult to pull a well developed hockey player off skates than it is to pull a normal person off of feet. We learn to use our edges and foot work for stability, and the strength of the hockey player base of legs and core are immense, as they really need to be in order to skate with stability whilst taking contact. So we see combatants try to pull one another off balance, and yet there are times when it seems rather impossible. Any ideas much appreciated?
Yeah… a 500 lb drug addict giving y’all motivation… you incels realize he DOESNT DO ANYTHING HE PREACHES RIGHT? Without Joe Rogan he’s be a bum in prison. He aint running shit either.
@@MastersmokeABUSE only because we're not used to hearing it. Ask someone outside BJJ and both Rear Naked Strangle and Front Naked Strangle are as ridiculous as each other and they'd ask if it's some kind of porn or S&M. It's all about familiarity.
A couple more details from his actual instructional: 1. Hunch your head, putting your chin down so that your shoulders move closer to their neck 2. Engage your lat muscle as you pull your elbow down
Obviously a beautiful technique but if these guys true intention was to teach their students would they start speaking a different language all of a sudden therefore forcing people to understand Japanese? Why not just call it what it is in the same language that you started in? I personally would consider that a triangle to reverse triangle why call it a Japanese name? Am I just dumb or is this a little bit pretentious? Maybe I'm Wrong if you disagree please tell me and why cuz I would really like to understand because I know I'm not that smart
His teacher - John Danaher - likes to honor where the move originally came from. The basic triangle came from Japan, hence John names the variations in Japanese.
