keep safe people

i've armbared many a side of bacon into submission be for cooking it, bjj works in my workplace.

exept that one time i was floored by a sucker punch from a cucumber..............

you dont want to know what happened next

We will teach you to defend in modern britain. we will teach you how to get that intruder into the cubhoard under the kitchen sink IN 10 SECONDS !!! giving you valuble time to call the police.

 

Forget rings, mats etc... think the workplace, filing cabinets etc...

i'm a chef, how do i defend a lobster or crab.....

see below as i'm an idiot

forget all the martial arts in the world....... pro wrestling baby............... whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

brock is soooooo good he can do this and walk a way

One has ropes, one has mesh.

One is round, one is octagonal.

You can dive through the ropes, not through the mesh.

You can climb the ropes, but not the mesh.

One has buckles in the corner, the other does not.

One has no gate, the other has a gate.

only in your mind.... my zen powers can change the material world

How you mean not cage vs ring argument, its a rules vs rules. Rules are defined from whether it being a cage or ring. I don't really see how wanting to open your own place would link to him not training as hard. The guy had a injured knee before griffin. He made it worse from doing the fight and was forced to have surgery on it , did the rehab and then blew it out again, and yet again did the rehab. So sayin you have to see it that he didnt have to train as hard anymore due to fame and all that I just dont agree with.

 

Also ring and cage difference isnt just how to cut people off (altho a huge one, cro cop is best in ring which isnt no surprise due to his years of k1) there is loads of factors otherwise there wouldn't be such defined training methods from likes of Coutour on his videos showing how to use the cage as a weapon in your arsenal, as it were.

 

btw is that you gregg?

yes it is..... who are you

and what i ment was mma rules diffine what you can and cant do (kick to the head on ground and so on)

on wether your in the cage or ring...

i agree that you use then differently, trapping in a corner standing or trapping against the fence on the floor

the only difference between cage and ring is how you cut people off, its a lot harder in the cage (as pride fighters coming to the ufc have shown)

you gave rua as an example, well thats not the cage vs ring argument - its a rules vs rules and fame vs training argument. the guy got a rep as the next wanderlei and what did he do....... left chute boxe and set up his own gym.... you got to see it as he thought he didnt have to train as hard any more.....

it was the same with vitor, maybe people start seeing $ signs and not thinking about fighting as the number 1 priority..........

and on a happyer note your right the best place for bjj is the forge..... thank you

you just want to rub bums......

so who won overall

and i'm sure that this is the best example of the ball attack

i thought it was kapap....

whoooooooooooooo go go Lyoto Machida... sweep the leg johnny

shotoikari - its all in fun, nothing else

i like your pink and silver sparkly one...

"my frens I been thinking

but you know a orangutang gonna be problem for

you if he switch to de la riva becoese that long arm it gonna

keep hold your ankle an he other arm gonna have good grip

on wrist so if orangutang he open his guarde on you be careful

becorse it gonna be scare for you.also if gorilla in your closed guarde

you need for keep brake him posture becorse if he get posture he gonna

passé for sure."

"blue belt=gonna submit most beginner ease include guys from karate and kung fu.blue belt able not get hurt if fight muscle head steroidy on beach or outside club.

Advise and theory from Misa Faixa Rua..... best fight in world

max i love you..................

but damb you got too much time on your hands.

as you know i have personally killed 75 men in bjj fights, your self included.

but everyone got better in the end and learnt a valuble lesson.......

"sweep the leg johnny"

oh and chute boxe is just the brazilian version of thai, cute wrestling is different still

393 club or hillsbrough baths do tkd

My advice (eventually) would be to try a few standup clubs until you find one you like and do the same with BJJ. Once you have the clubs you want and if you can keep up 4 sessions a week I would train 2 standup and 2 BJJ.

 

Good luck I hope I have been of some help.

couldnt agree more, try lots of clubs, see which you like...

classes should be about a fiver each and stay away from contracts:loopy:

i can't help with the kung fu side, but in my opinion BJJ is a long term martial art that takes years to get good at.

to stay away from the "my club is better than your club" i'll jut give you the facts about our club:-

we are the only club in sheffield who has a brown belt instructor (a very high grade in BJJ), and offer black belt classes on a regular basis.

we are an official Gracie Barra Jiu Jitsu School

we have a good mix of students at different levels

we offer childrens, adult beginner and adult intermediate classes

we have 6 BJJ classes a week (Mon, Wed, Fri, Sun)

we are based at The Forge, a martial arts gym that offers other classes taken by third party instructors:-

Kickboxing by Farhad (AFK) once a week (Tues)

MMA (mixed martial arts) Billy Glossop (Caged steel) 3 times a week (Tues, Thurs, Sat)

hope that helps,

gregg
