THANKYOU for the answer, I think we should makethem wear chinese wrestling jackets, remove submission/ippon/pins instant wins, and score all of the 3 with the same score example any Big major throw/ippon 5 points, any submission allowed and 5 points, 20 seconds pin(like osaikomi) 5 points, and no instant win, you win by outpointing your opponent with 15 points ahead, what do you think Sir? THANKYOU
Whats the fish dance ? The funky Chicken? 🐔 Embarassing. I found fighting in the ring ironically mire dangerous than the street for the most part because your opponents are easily as skilled as I was and it kept me humble. Ko is a bad thing and the effects lasts a long time potentially permanent. I think I got anher issues from CTE.
That's a bummer, I didn't realize they were going so hard in the challenges that you messed up your knee. On video it didn't look like he stomped on your head. Sorry to hear that and hope you are making a recovery.
2:58 athleticism, timing or reflexes and technique. Also for technique you stop making much progress after a while for example a guy with 1 year of training would a clone of himself with 0 years but if that guy has 20 years and his clone has 21 then it wont make much difference
Here are my thoughts as a KSW brown belt... Let's start off with Gary Goodridge. My teacher's understanding of that situation was that a Canadian KSW school paid him to wear the KSW dobuk (gi) thinking that would be great advertising/get more students interested in KSW (sigh). At KSW's core it looks like it's supposed to be a submission style martial art from what you learn in class. You learn common kicks/punches as well to give you some striking ability as well. I liked this when I was looking for something because it sounded more well rounded. At lower belts, you focus more on kicks/punches when sparring even though you learn submission techniques (not very effective ones IMO). At black belt, you're supposed learn and execute better submissions...stuff similar to BJJ (but I never saw it). I always thought KSW competitions were dumb because I never saw anyone actually using many KSW techniques...just relatively standard kicks/punches. They only use half of what we learned in class (which is probably because the other half wasn't very practical for sparring). A lot of the lower belt submission techniques were very situational surprise techniques that were really only going to be effective after a lot of practice and if your opponent wasn't expecting it. Because of my teacher, it was great cardio and I did get to practice a lot of stuff that was actually useful. You just have to temper your expectations if you think this is going to get you ready for MMA. I don't regret it at all. Here's probably the best example of KSW "on the street". Jay Lee was not a "karate master" like the video says, but the head instructor at The Woodlands, Tx. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vhavpBocyow.html&pp=ygURUElNUCBDSE9QIEhPVVNUT04%3D
i enjoyed watching season 1, but watching season 2 now I think a lot of improvements have been made. Like the pilot of any tv show, I think it takes time to learn and make it better. the second season has some good focus on situational awareness, looking for improvised weapons, diffusing situations, and talking to the police after. I'm very sorry to hear of your severe injuries. watching season one I thought it was a neck or head injury from what I remembered, I did not realize your knees got jacked up. It's a shame that this experience was so shitty for you. I really like the intention behind a self defense championship. I think some good things to come of it are the proof for non fighters just how damn insane it is to think a person can easily handle multiple opponents at once, survive a knife encounter, or even to run away from opponents. I also like the idea of showing how defending yourself in messy, cluttered, or cramped environments changes things. I %100 agree that safety for a competition like this should be taken very seriously, and insurance needs to be in place to get people who are injured there, like you were, taken care of in terms of medical bills
Benny was a fighter AND a movie star. He was one of those rare breeds who could fight in real life the way most humans can only imagine it on a movie screen, and make fight choreography look incredibly cool.
This is true of any area of Life tbh. You also see it in the Rocky Franchise with Mickey, Apollo, and Duke. You see it in the Karate Kid Franchise with Miyagi-san, Cobra Kai, the Okinawan Style, the Military Karateka Sensei, and Jackie Chan.
To answer this question in nutshell from my opinion. I would says boxing/mu Thai, yes is safer if you are only training/sparring lightly. Real fights, then you risk concussions/death, or CTE later down the road. Mu Thai skull fractures from a nasty elbow or knee, brutal. Even sparring can be dangerous if going to hard or poor training partners/communication like chill the fuk out. BJJ, yes when suffering a severe injury just a joint injury it takes a long time to heal. Knees such as ACL/MCL/LCL or meniscus depending on severity can definitely mess stuff for sometime. Arm bar injury from a poor partner over cranking. Not that all white belts are savages/unsafe but I would say youngsters are more spays/unsafe. Good adults with morals/respect and usually not, A-Holes yes! Again partners/ communication. Roll mostly starting from the ground, most injuries/severe despite and Ass cranking arm bar, Kimora or what not, happen from take down and uncontrolled body weight. Severe injuries shouldn’t happen abut if they do i would except it more in competing not training but happens in training too and has happen to me my first round years ago before I went back. Just take it easy, learn the technique and roll one or two rounds once a week when you feel ready or more, start from the ground. Scissor takedowns and as he said pull guard are dangerous and few others that should be avoided. Look up most dangerous moves Train around Carlos Machado gym, their motto is train safe/stay humble.
Isn’t strategic warfare relatively advanced as far as ancient civilizations go? That is, not every ancient (or medevial) army would have utilized strategy as much as the famous strategic wins, which would turn the battle more into a battle of skill or weaponry rather than group strategy… Also, I’m thinking of medieval knights, and how they were basically the tanks of the time in terms of their armour… surely, a single knight, if unopposed by another knight, and surrounded by unarmoured peasant conscripts, would have been able to deal damage to several unarmed opponents comparatively easily…?
There may be some truth to this. So wine told me after a training trip to Thailand he said the fighters don't spar because they don't want to risk injury . "Gym fight" is the issue here
Only Chen style bro. The others are trash for fighting WU, Yang ( though Yang was reputedly a fighter). Only reason chen was good is because of Fa Jing. None of the ither styles use it. Call me a troll
I think Lethwei is way more entertaining than UFC. No flashy stuff, none of that ego BS, only straightforward fights and brutal strikes. Also, fights are fights, if I wanted to be entertained by cool moves I'd watch WWE or CZW. Or Jackie Chan movies, IDK
@@RamseyDewey Didn't expect to get an answer from you, what an honor! But no, of course everyone has an ego. I'm talking more about merchandising and endless commentary, silly beefs between fighters, sensationalism and the whole commercial apparatus that surrounds UFC. The fact that I don't see this (non-verbal) explicit behavior in Lethwei championships gives me great satisfaction (I don't have access to Myanmar cable TV, so...I may be wrong). Some people, like myself, are more entertained by the rawness of a headbutt, rather than a knockout by jodan ushiro geri, for instance. It feels more like a "real" combat between two people. Of course, this is as perishable as the rate at which Lethwei becomes more commercial. I'm sure we'll be seeing cringeworthy facedowns, unnecessary trash talking, big personalities and flashy stuff in Lethwei in no time, with the bonus of more restrictive, palatable rules for the spectators! I've been watching your content for a long time and I'm a big fan of your work, cheers!!
A body shot can cause oermanent damage to your liver / organs. Fighters never tell you that. I remember a guy got a part of his liver lacerated after a fight in the ring.
Because they can beat up thier buddies they think they can take anyone. I dont associaye with giys if that level and dobt need forends who are braindead like that. They are a liability becaise of thier stupidity.
I think the weakness for Wing Chun is the looping punches and hooks of Hung Gar. I dont thin Anderson is very good at Jiu Jitsu or Wing Chun. Look up Nick Gaston
Yi Long is a capable fighter. Ive seen him loose badly to unknown Muay thai Fighters but I would say he can fight. His Tai Chi looks totally hokey though
@@RamseyDewey look for the video where he does Taiji it's on RU-vid somewhere. I've seen it. And it's bad. Again he is Avery competent fighter and I suspect he's on " chinese supplements". He could never beat Fan Bian or the the top tier of Chinese Kickboxers IMHO.
@@RamseyDewey a Steroid possibly an unknown derivative. China has the best chemists in the world. Look at his low body fat like 5 percent. Only achievable through " supplementation ". That's a fact. I had a close friend who was doing steroids for years but told me I wasn't working hard enough to achieve his body composition. I bested him in weight lifting , flexibility and skill. But never looked like him with that shredded look. It depends on what PEDs people take. Everyone in the UFC is on Juice because the president , commentators( Rogan) are on juice so why are the fighters clean? Steroids make money because of their ability to help you recover. Recover = train more and more intensity with less rest. If a fighter doesn't use Steroids I'd be worried. How about the "Natty Bodybuilders"?
It feels like a concussion because thats what it is . Your brain is rattled . Theres a giy in Toronti who claims he had 36 concusssions!!!! One concussion can end your career. 36 would make you a vegetable😅
Two ways to throw a hook. One is fairly stright and another is like a rotating half punch. Two different fist orientations also .I thinknyou know what I am talking about.
I think BJJ and Muay Thai are very useful. I think it depends on the stylist. BBJ, Wrestlying and Muay thai are the most useful martial arts in MMA. But i think Cung Le was pretty good technically but he wasnt versatile as a kung fu . Every style has its limitation thats why we have MMA.
I dont drink or smoke . When I read this samurai book of knowledge. I forget what its called. I learned to never drink or smoke , cigarettes or weed. I rember this Shito Ryu master who would come to town and he always wanted to get drunk and get a hooker. I dont do that crap either. Lost all respect for him.
Nothing wrong with forms but I dont thonk they create good cardio, I also dont think they really reach in depth techniques . That "Multiple oponents " is an archaic thought. But i dont want to hate kata because thats how i started 35 years ago
Whats that Chinese MMA guy who deatroys those fake masters Xia or something. They masters had enough inflience to destroy his finances and he still goes after them.
@@RamseyDewey isn't a Mormon Like a Jehovah Witness where they believe only 144,000 ( some multiple of the tribes of Israel ) get to heaven . So everyone is brainwashed into competing for a spot in heaven. Heaven seems harder to get into than Harvard.
Anyone who says they are a street fighter is a fool. Street fighting I unpredictable and can be very violent. I know a guy that died when his head hit the side of a sidewalk when he challenged a fucking psycho. I don't think the cops ever got that guy.
I’m surprised that so many just recently start to realize that traditional Okinawa karate is close fighting with all nasty attacks. Eg. Look at Okinawa Goju ryu kata saifa, seiyunchin, seipai etc it is grappling. I’m glad you start to find it out:)
