alright starting training tomarrow

[Kane Fan]

sounds like a Triangle Choke

ok for Thursdays class the instructor didn't show up, he had us practice things he had already shown us, only this time he had us pick what we practiced
I practiced some simple punch combinations (my cross is such shit...)
a friend worked lead round kicks
and another friend worked the same punch combination as I did I believe
we thought about doing some Clinch work but we stuck to very basic stuff instead

 

[Kane Fan]

we are going to consider point sparring as well
I am worried tho, will that slow me down for full contact training
or will it not hinder me
anyone who has done both I'm wondering

 

[Kane Fan]

ok this sucks I didn't train at all in like a week
I hope we get some tyhpe of class in on Saturday

Point Sparring IMO creates VERY bad habbits .

to the Extent that I think that a person would be FAR better off JUST doing Drills and Forms and Padwork than doing ANY sparring at all if Point Sparring were their Only Option .


Why ?

Because you NEVER learn to deal with INERTIA in a Fight ! This is one of the most Important Concepts in Fighting ! it also makes you learn bad habits about Transitioning fromn Striking to Grappling .

 

[Kane Fan]

that's what I was worried about
bad habbits in general
but we are going to do regular sparring as well so hopefully that will counterbalance it
I don't want it to slow down my regular training but I do want to do it as well

anyway we thankfully had a class Saturday
I was glad about that
we did some quick combinations for warmup and then did some simple groundtraining
during the combinations my instructor expressed the belief I may knock people out at some point (that sounds promising)
we did another throw from the Clinch that went a lot better for me then either of the Hip throw varients I tried
you step around like for the hip throws but it's an arm throw
he said it was a Greco throw but Judo probubly has something very similar
I seemed to learn it well enough
pickedup rather quickly on it

so that was awsome
after the throw if I can keep hold of the arm I think I could work an armbar from it
but the instructor said he thinks I'm better off getting on them for GnP

it will help.

it will make you faster and help your timing.

it will also help in that you will get a lot of practice trying to avoid getting hit even once....

so long as your not just point fighting it will help.

use it to help suppliment your game

yeah in practice holding the arm and going for the bar looks cool and is real fast but when you actually pull off a throw against a resisting person and you had to really fight to get it then more often then not going right to the ground has a higher % chance of being effective.

how did the arm aid the throw was it like this:

that was pretty m uch the throw except he had me drop to my knees and lean forward instead of the backwards hipthrust up thing

 

[Kane Fan]

training again tomarrow
sucked missing tuesday

 

[Kane Fan]

well that sucked
no class today but I did my usual drilling
punch combo's and stuff
last saturday we did some grapple work and I picked a guy up and set him in my guard
the instructor thought that was funny but said I shouldn't get used to doing it that way in case I fought heavier people
