what style to take

[casualbb]

Actually Oak Ive not mentioned any system at all . I have pretty consistently said that he should Takle the best TEACHER in his area - wich means he should state his Location and ask for School Reccomendations from there , not Stylistic ones .

The system itself [krav], much like the SCARS craze of the early 90's Has really never held up to much in the way of Scrutiny when ppl werent Strapped , or havent had a WHOLE BUNCH of training outside Scars . But for some reason everytime someone shouts "ISRIELI SPECIAL FORCES !!!!11woneleventie!!!" and everyone stops using their Critical thinking skills and gets all Impressed .

follow your own advice

Casual BB :

Your Post lacks in fundamental Logic .

While one cannot know whom the best teacher amongst the legit , proven systems of MA are , its quite easy to spot a system that has some things that are Severely Lacking .

There is an ENOURMOUS difference in being able to spot Systemic McDojoism and Pseudo-Science , and in NOT being able to pick where the best school is i9n an area without even being able to know where that is .

Yes , there is a list of bullshit styles out there . Just because some Actor or Militairy Commander out there CLAIMS it works dosent mean that its actually had any proven successes .

I know you dont like me , bro , but please , if youre going to com at me in future at least make sure that Im doing whatever it is that youre accusing me of .

I never mentioned any style FOR RECOMENDATION . I never said that there weret bad ones out there , just that there are MANY MANY GOOD ones , and that the best school would be dictated by his locale . I can pretty much tell you that "Ninjitsu" will be bullshit no matter where you go . As will any "Pressure Point" nonsense . Or "Yellow Bamboo" , for that matter ...



So how is it that Im NOT following my own advice , exactly ?

I've heard that you should not eat yellow snow, does that bear any similarities to yellow bamboo?

and pressure points are not nonsense!
but then I don't think they are the answer for every situation either!

obviously you care about this much more than I do so you win

I wish I could have back the 1-2 minutes I spent reading that

It was an eye opening experience when I switched teachers and learned how to apply pressure points when grappling. An elbow, knuckle, knee, or forehead in the right spots can make a normally comfortable "safe" position very uncomfortable.

Oh , MAN , youve never seen the Yellow Bamboo thing ?

Really ?

Umm , theyre like , well , the Moonies from the 60's , but of MA !

dude , Ive - in more than a quarter century involved in the Martial Arts - NEVER had a "Pressure Point Attack" actuallly WORK on me . I guess my Chi isnt strong enough or whatever , but Ive payed GOOD MONEY to Montigue , to Dillman , to all of them , and I havent felt it yet .

Its kind of like those Kong Jiin fuckers ...

some how that crap works EVERY TIME on their Students , but they cant reproduce the effects on someone or something that dosent believe in them I want to see your "No Touch knockout on a cow or a housecat ...

Just like every OTHER thing we humans do , the cat will give us that "Youre An Idiot" look that they always do lest we be feeding them , and move right on .

how are we defining pressure points here
you say they don't work on you
doyou mean to say if someone pushes a finger into your armpit it does not hurt?
I'm not talking about pressurepoint KO's or any of that highly unlikely shit I'm talking about using pressure points for distraction or other such ways like to aid an escape etc

i really only use pressure points while grappling..and i am definatley not talking knock out stuff.. just pain stuff or points that get your opponent to move a certain way.. which for me means im normally trying to straighten there neck out or get them to lift there chin for a choke

i have personally never ever seen a pressure point STRIKE knock out like kung fu style.. i have seen pressure points used to knock someone out but it seemed to be just from pain (wrist/chin/ribs) and that is not what most people are talking about when they say pressure point attacks... imo
