PR said: "The people who have come before up till now are the proof. The arts themselves are the proof." Why, because their lunge punching...
PR said, "A lot squander the opportunity because they run around chasing whatever theme of the year, weird concept, popular misconception, or...
Just out of curiosity, if you're talking about the footage available on YouTube, what part of it makes you say that? To me it looks like...
I know what you're saying and I don't entirely disagree, but I think there are a few distinctions. For one, I'm not sure I'd classify him as...
Outside of common sense there's also basic human decency. I think it's pretty clear from my posts I'm not the biggest fan of what Hatsumi teaches,...
The BJJ lifestyle crowd is a good example. I would say the tapout crowd at mma gyms is another. Every martial art has some share of cultish...
Okay well... I'm not sure I have an adequate response to your story BR. I'm just going to leave it at welcome to MAP. Really, I feel much...

IIRC in that GI Joe cartoon from the 80s, they would always face off storm shadow, the evil white ninja, with the native Amarican Joe character....
For pure BJJ I concur, doubles and singles all the way... With the occasional Osoto gari thrown in. Especially since things that would be...
It's very true some throws aren't great- and actually kind of terrible- for ground work, but on the flip side even if you never use them,...
I could be wrong but iirc I saw a clip of her sparring to prep for this fight and- while unpolished- she didn't look so comical. Makes me think...
First fight. Big event. A lot of pressure. Not saying I disagree with you, I'm just inclined to give her a pass until she gets a few under her...
Yeah, thanks for posting. I think they're doing the right thing with Kron, not throwing him into the deep end too fast.
I wasn't responding the the OP, but to a point dunc made. And if you're talking about the deficiencies of 'senior western practitioners' you're...
