alright starting training tomarrow
- Thread starter Kane Fan
- Start date
hopefully can get a class in Sunday
wish me luck
we've practiced pulling guard from being in crossbody bottom
despite being a big fellow I am told I did it pretty well
describe turtle position to me? we use boxing to so in our mind Turtle is to put both hands together in front of your face (great for absorbing straight punches but quite hookable...)

lol i like trading terms like this..
when i meant turtle above i meant the position you will see in some grappling type matches where the guy is on his knees and elbows staying very tucked and balled up..
your boxing turtle is one of the ways i was taught in a bjj class on how to close the distance very quickly.. basically just protect as much of the soft/front part of your face as possible and almost just charge your opponent.. it wasnt taught as the #1 way or anything like that but could be used in a lot of different situations.

yah it has some options
against someone who dosn't use the hook much it's great but to turtle and come in can rob you of a good deal of yoru sight so if he's a good boxer with a serious hook, please avoid that approach
unless you like looking up at the lights wondering how you got there lol
I hook like, constantly my hook is like my jab
everything works off of the jab in boxing, well for me everything works off of the damned hook
it's my insticintive counter etc
so I'm about the only person in our class that Turtles regularly
and yah it's belly out, turtle, reach under for ankle
so yah we do the turtle but only in a few situations cus we don't like to be Guiolltened
thanks for posting in here regularly the more I post here the mor I think about training

The best sparring tip your prolly ever gonna get is to always look the guy in the eye, its not bad to avoid getting hit ;-) IMO its better to never hit other than always being aggresive, aggresiveness is good but it can also get you in trouble.
I train 5 days/week, of course i also teach so that has alot to do with it.
Most schools have a program where they let students teach once they get higher ranked, we do, its helping our students alot...

again that running in turtling thing was just one of the first ways to get in and is just kinda cool imo not the most effective.
right now my best move for self defense would definately be a double leg take down
someone is trying to convince me a single leg might be better.. but MY single leg is not as good.. yet
tmk: i recently started teaching and it has really helped me with the basics and some techniques i havent gone over in a while. i also think its really cool to help people like that because i remember what i thought of the higher ranks that helped me out when i was younger...

I'm not far from Charollette but honestly I really only want to train with these guys right now cus they are my friends
I am somewhat tempted to look into a Judo Club or Boxing Club tho
either one would help with MMA and the instructor favors Boxing right now anyway so it would be a lot like the training I'm doing now
only thing is I am really enjoying our groundwork
