Martial Arts

James here's a couple of youtube videos for MMA training/conditioning styles. Another area to attack is also the knees. A well placed kick to the side of someoene's knee will put that knee out of action permanently! Even if u kick them frontally and drive the knee backwards you'll snap the AC ligaments at the back and that requires a total knee reconstruciton!

 

OAC spot on with the punches. If you take a swing at someones head and you connect with the actual cranium you'll break your hand. The cranium is the hardest part of the human body. Learn to use open fists and save yourself!

james, don't worry about being small. its got little to do with what you can accomplish.

 

if you box i'd suggest that you also train for the boxing ring, the mma ring, and the street. It will provide a greater understanding of the striking game.

So, what's up? Any progress?

I'm training for a boxing bout taking place early 2008. I've also been training in knife/stick fighting in an exclusive group. It's mostly Filipino martial arts like Kali and Silat if you want to place a some sort of a label or whatever to it.

I've taken a break from any serious fighting training cause my knee is still not 100%. I'm not taking any chances with it. Just gym work for myself atm. If I hopped into a boxing ring I probabbly wouldn't have the fitness to last more than 4 rounds at the moment.

The reason why I liked Aikido for health and defense purposes was that the teaching of Aikido is to be neutral, in life or in art, you tend to stay away from a fight rather than engaged; you are the center. An Aikido practitioner won't fight, but if you use force against him he might use some throws or joint locks... to keep you controlled; but he doesn't want to defeat you...

You may be able to guess where I am gonna come down on this by my screen name. My history is out of Japanese Jiu Jitsu, and turned to Aikido when I found a really excellent sensei. My body style lends itself to a grappling style, so it was natural for me, and the Aikido philosophy is one I can embrace. My advice is to stick with what you're doing if you're enjoying the training. All of the martial arts will give you a decided advantage against the untrained street knucklehead, so unless you're gonna be a pro, you're fine. If your intent is to fight trained fighters MMA is the way to go as is evidenced by the UFC and Pride.

Good luck, and stay with it, the rewards of your training will be more than just the ability to defend yourself.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
