Try training knife light sparring with limited target, like hands only. Work on bridging the gap, entering into close range. Forehand and backhand slash, along with forward and backward step and drag...

Good to see and acquired a better idea of how you guys use WC blade. Thanks for sharing.

For all we know they're actually MMA fighters.....:D

Think this is relevant to the topic:

Progressive resistance and Variable Intensity.

I agree.....

yes, they definitely did!

Yes, I will. I will always think there's still methods out there that are not yet discovered by many. Honestly, the name is not my main concern. If it's effective then that's all that matters. I'm...

lol, my bad. i didn't read it that way.


For me, cross-training means going to other arts that are recognized as the best in their area of specialization. For example, I cross-train in BJJ to...

Fortunately I got the chance practice/play with experienced practitioneers of the arts you mentioned above. My conclusion, I wish I have the skill level of the WC and BJJ guy in addition to my skill...

I agree, if you want to start a new MA and all you have are theories, then maybe you're not yet in the position to do it. Actual experience in fighting is key. Theory is improtant but IMHO it boils...

I totally agree.

A good friend of mine whom I trained together before in Inosanto Concepts. Like me, he's now moved on and is now training MMA fighters. He's also an instructor under Tim Tacket and currently trains...

I didn't the first time, the mind took over to check if my nose was broken :). Sparring helped to get used to the hit and reprogram to do as you said. My sifu's complain is I don't have enough...

My bad, sorry :).
Silat is a generic name for martial arts practiced in Indonesia, Southern Philippines, Malaysia and some parts of Thailand I believe. Just refer to our good friend Mr. Youtube :).

At some point in time before I found my current preferences in martial arts, I studied JKD Concepts (Inosanto's way) for 4 years. Looking back, I could say if you consider forms as a method of solo...

Actually Bruce just popularized it but people been doing this long before him. For instance, in Mande Muda silat, my first style, late Pak Herman's dad combined many styles of Silat to come up with...

First thing, I'm really not trying convince you or anybody. It was just an observation that I would like to share. That's all.
Anyway, actually the BJJ guy is not teaching knife. What we have is a 3...

I understand where you're coming from and I agree, from your point of view.

Anyway, last sunday on our BJJ class the instructor had a drill 2 guys grapple in order to get towards a knife. As I...

Yes, I understand what you're saying.

But I'm still more cautious with thugs because generally speaking they're the ones that could take the "fight" to the extremes.

I once heard in the new, a...

I think this depends on what you meant by "fight".

Sports fighter trains for the most part to be a sports fighter. I think physically (speed, power, agility, fast reaction, etc) he will excel...

yes, he is. thanks for pointing it out, jesper.

Got you,very good point! Bladed weapons has it's own nuances :).

Thanks for the info, I can see how a Wing Chun will be very good with a knife. I don't see it trained often though. IMHO this is one of those cases where I really would rather work on actual and...

Don't worry too much of a Kali guy doing an uppercut, remember, we know those guys can't really translate well into empty hands? Sorry just messing with you Sanjuro :).

Seriously against an...
