Wow, doesnt look like he's a very good teacher... Maybe those guys are pussys or something and need some toughening up though.


Personlly I would be pissed if I payed money for that. I'd perfer full contact sparing.

 

[Big Rick Rock]

[TMK72688]

That guy has the worst round kick i have ever seen (the instructor) this is obviosley a joke.

If it wasnt who would accually go there?

 

[Djimbe]

I cant agree only b/c I saw teh vid , and his students were much worse .

 

[Kane Fan]

I thought I saw a decent pushkick somewhere but I may just be remembering how it's supposed to look

 

[Big Rick Rock]

That guy didn't look or speak like any Thai person I have ever met.

[Kane Fan]

Thai arn't the only people who know MauyTHai

 

[Djimbe]

I know , huh ! Like he looked Chinese ? Phil Nurse runs a GREAT MT class in NYC and hes a skinny lil black Brit ! I Train in CMA but Im a Giant Jamaican !

Look at what they were doing , not what they look like .

 

[Kane Fan]

[tmk123]

People just dont practice there form like they use to.. very few people care about traditional form....

They arnt even getting right momentum for there kicks(Hips)

[Spanky11]

actually, the guy is for real - and he is japanese.

He trained in Seidokaikan for a few years, and now runs his own thing. his karate then, and now, is terrible, and runs special "seminars" aimed at toughening up younger fighters.

he is clearly a moron, and would get wiped form any decent knock down karate fighter.

people actually pay money to attend these things.

 

[Kane Fan]

I practice my form like crazy
but when I get to sparring it's just like I didn't practice it at all
I guess that either takes time or just never really does get spot on

I trained at Phil's for a while. He is good people, I'll probably run into him at The Capitale on Friday. Derek is on the card, he is always cool to watch.

I need a babysitter for Friday night... Dammit!

Sparring takes time to get acustomed to, one rule you must always use, eye contact at all times.

Very good advice. So simple yet so many new guys don't practice it.
Don't take your eyes off your opponent. When guarding or ducking hooks try not to lose sight of his hands and movement. Just keeping your eyes on the guy will icrease your fighting ability tremendously.

a good trick is to actually keep your eyes on their shoulders/hips, and not their eyes. too many guys get caught up looking at the eyes - the shoulders will always tell you is he going to puch soon.

 

[Kane Fan]

I tend toward watching the torso
but really you can take in all of the other guy unless you are Clinching
but problem is flinching I havn't spared in months which sucks cus I was just starting to eek past that problem

 

[Judo Tom]

in my sport i watch the hips and the feet.. at the hands for grip fighting

 

[confusion]

I think it's best to watch the eyes because many times you can figure out exactly what the opponent is going to do. sort of read his mind by his facial expressions. You'll always be able to tell if he's going to move.

 

[Kane Fan]

not if he has a good 'poker face'
but there is no such thing as poker shoulders
if he wants to come forward with the Cross, the shoulders will move
or the Cross won't connect

 

[Judo Tom]

yeah i get that and makes sense for the sport of boxing..

in judo we watch the hips cause he has to move those to throw you

once on the mat i kinda have to just look at everything.. but honestly i can 'feel' newaza much better then standing and done need my eyes as much to know whats going on

 

[Big Rick Rock]

I think the only time it is truly beneficial to look at a guy's eyes is after you hit him with a good shot. If his eyes look like they are glaring into space, you know he is hurt and you have a couple of seconds to punce on him... The worst is when you bring your fist across his face solid and you look in his eyes, and all you see is anger and bad intentions... You know you are in for a long fight.

[Kane Fan]

BRR
so you watch the torso/hips to?

 

[confusion]

I figured you guys would disagree, and that's a good thing, exchanging ideas and all. question for kane: have you ever really seen a poker face while fighting? My method is "attack mode" , if i'm close enough to be hit, i'm attacking. now, if a guy is a great defender, i might be in trouble because he could counter me. this is another thing i've not seen much of..a fighter that that thrives by mainly defensive fighting. I'm not talking about pros like the gracies..but most mixed martial artists and street fights in general. I get your point tom. i've always been intrigued by judo and thought it would be a very practical style, women included.

 

[Micker]

What any good fighter will have is a wide periferal view of his opponent. You look at the eyes of a good fighter and he will have a look like he is trying to see the whole room almost. They have a stare that can take in the whole body. I learned to do this from my wrestling coach who showed me video of the top wrestlers and their stares. Its like a tiger who is stalking and circling his prey. Those who fight a lot know what I am talking about.
