rofl.. i got challenged to a fight by a karate black belt

[Judo Tom]

thats why i really like judo or at least the way most people in judo earnthere belts

to get promoted through my organizatin you HAVE to compete and you have to WIN against people your rank or higher

so even if you see a greenbelt on the mat you know that person has put it on the line, went out and fought and won.

but i do agree that belts are used to keep the jacket closed.. i train with some ridiculously great partners who have very low ranks just due to the fact that they have not competed much.. at my club we have a white belt who can throw a black belt (the bb came from another club and the white belt is home grown)

at the very least you had to have learned some things from this fight and that will help you down the road..

keep it up!!!

Why fight at all. I have been in the arts for over 20 years. The only time to engage you opponent is when faced with a life threatening situation or in a tournament.

However if you try to fight with him. What you do is what I teach my young students it is part of a PPCT technique. I call it the fairy flip.

Just as you think let your wrist flip like a fairy lose. Now that you have that down with the back side of you hand slap the opponent on the side of the neck. This is a quick slap not hard just like a slap .I will guarantee the biggest bad mother goes down fight over.

I had an 11 year old do this to one of my Black Belts down and out in seconds. The embarrassing factor is what comes in to play now. 

If that does not get it done joint manipulation is the only way to go.with PPCT as a secondary measure people forget that we have over 110 pressure points that could disable an opponet rather quick.

Peace

wow....i'm trying really hard not to knock your style or technique, but that's a bunch of mumbo-jumbo....try some pressure point crap or pimp slap on me, and you'll get your arm broke. period. no offense, but i just don't understand the practicality of teaching something like that....if you can make sense of it, please do.

where's the video?

ok this is the update. a friend of mine was filming it with a camera she borrowd from her film school. however, being the dufus that she is, returned the camera, but kept ht etape. without the camera i cant hook it up to the pc and upload it. so im trying to find an alternative way to upload it on the PC. its coming, hand tight.

some black belt friend of mine who's been taking karate for 8 solid yrs challenged me to a full contact, 100 percent power, going till KO or TO sparring session/fight. funny thing is i have 8 weeks of muay thai and about 3 months of brazilian jiu jitsu. he challenged me after he heard stories of this real fight that i was in, in which i used bjj in a real world situation and came out the winner. so i guess he wants to prove himself or something and issued a challenge. ofcourse i am coming in with no expectations for myself, since i respect karate as an art- expecially 8 yrs of it. however, if i beat him, this will look absolutely appaling for his art, whereas if i lose ppl will just go "8 weeks vs 8 yrs... no wonder he lost, oh well". so i have nothing to lose and everything to gain whereas he has nothing to gain and everything to lose. expect video in a few weeks, we can even karma bookie this, LOL. my game plan is to come in agressive, jab cross, jab, round house to the thigh and shoot for the legs. assume mount and start the ground and pount and/or look for a submission.

There is something very wrong with this "Black Belt".
(1) If he is 2nd or 3rd Degree, he has a position of responsibilty. To issue such a challenge to you is unbecomming.
(2) If he is a 2-3 day a week "participant" and earned some rank from putting in his time ... he is a "paper tiger" and might never have been tested with true violence.

Do a little more homework on this guy. Ex-military? Leads a class with normal men, women and children? Trophies? (For forms, breaking..or fighting?) Does his style include "breaking" as essential ... like Tang Soo Doo?

Many, many black belts are not tough guys ... no killer heart. Some are killers and will hurt you badly. Any Black Belt who breaks at the 3rd level and above has the capacity to hurt you.

Should you go ahead .... demand rounds ... watch his breathing .... He may fade quickly. Then simply box him until he quits. For all his kicks ... just block them. The more he kicks, the quicker he will tire out. Punch his biceps a lot so he'll drop his hands. If allowed, kick his knees. Slap his ears a lot so his head rings and he loses balance.

Wear a bullet proof cup. As he tires, his kicks will come in lower.

I do not recommend grappling until you see what he offers in the first round.

Should you discover he is a bull shitter and he gets tired and you can win easily ... Take the high road and let him quit.

If he is for real .... Block a lot, move a lot and do not offer him an extended arm or leg to strike. Pull that jab and kick back quickly.

Good luck.

Why fight at all? Dont we fight each other to prepare for the day when we may fight for our lives? their fight was controlled, such is a tournament, though not as grand.

joint manipulation shouldnt be relied upon, no one stands still. going through the motions of training may be great for confidence, but its the saddest thing when confronted by the unknown violence of reality. any training that only fights itself is limiting itself to itself. these guys cross trained, which is a good thing, though Yarg, fighting with an injury wasnt smart, but atleast in that, you know your limitations while fighting injured.

JUDO TOM OR anyone else with BJJ vs Judo info

Hey im looking for a little insight on Judo... I know nothing about it, i would prefer to study BJJ but there isnt a full time gym here where i live i practice MT alot and am pretty good but only train BJJ once a week and my ground work needs help,
THere is a Judo place here in town thats pretty good i guess....Can you tell me how it compares to BJJ?
Im not looking to play tag but something that will really work in the ring.
What do you think?

 

[Judo Tom]

judo and bjj are pretty much the same thing.. bjj does a lot of ground work.. up to 90% on the mat. judo does a lot of standing.. up to 90%

my judo club is like 40% standing 60% mat work

with a good instructor judo will def help your bjj game.

if you are only interested in mma then judo will help. it will help w/ take down defense, throws, chokes, armlocks, positioning, transfering from ground to standing and standing to ground, it will make you strong, fast and tough.

again most judo schools are going to be focused on olympic/sport judo and most likely focus more on the standing game (throws/suplexes/takedowns/sweeps) then the ground game.

go check out the school and see what its. like.. if you know the name of the instructor let me know and i can find out some info for you..

if you have any questions let me know.

 

[Judo Tom]

oh you can also look for sambo schools in your area.. but good luck with that... it is not too popular in the US

FYI sambo is pretty much just russian judo w/ leglocks (HUGE SIMPLIFICATION I KNOW BUT CLOSE)
