AHHH, that is what I thought.


Based on the way I interpreted it, I thought someone had a good way to avoid that.

Maybe I misunderstood you? I thought it was a choke to be applied to the guy on top, when you are on the bottom.

I am week when I am on the bottom, so I am looking for ways to improve my game...

Hmmm, sounds like a technique that would be good to fill a hole in my system.

LOL!!! Gymnastics in the ring!!

I am too old to flip like that!!

They leave thier groins open too much. Fine for the ring, but I am not walking around with a cup on24/7

I am probablly going to get bas's book, and video for christmass this year.

I guess my biggest weak point is when I am down and my opponent is on top. that is the area i think i should address first.

So far as take down avoidance I have some ability there. My system is...

Asia, are you able to add your Baji into your training? or is that something you have to do in off time?

Yes, actually I do...now.

Anyway, this has given me a thought. Since i really don't want to be a ground guy, and prefer the Chinese way of doing things, how much BJJ Ground type fighting do I...

3:31 COMMENTER SAYS "We kind of boil it down to about 13 moves that are sort of the core of a fighting strategy."

3:46 We can take somebody, give them 5 or 10, or 15 hours instruction and actually...

Well, so far I have learned that Army does way more BJJ than USMC.

I am wondering if Asia sees more BJJ, because he is Army and the Army does more BJJ, where as all the Marines I have talked to...

SanHeChuan has a BJJ background through Clay Pittman....and he does not see much BJJ in MCMAP.

You are either doing it, or not. There is no room for interpretive perspective here.

WRONG. I am stationed with Marines, as well a Navy and Air Force. This is a training center were all branches, even foreign forces come to train. I still have way more insight in this than you do
...

If, on the other hand, the extent of your grappling training is a couple throws from your forms and a few submissions that chain off those throws that you work "every once in a while"... now you're...

Apparently .0005% of MCMAP is Tai Tzu. :D

LOL!!! Looking at it closer, after he does the throw, he ends up locking the guys elbow using ANOTHER posture from one of my other forms too!! That makes TWO now!! This one is EXACTLY like the form,...

Happy now?

YUP!!! He's "almost" doing the form verbetum right there!

If he reaches over and grabs his other elbow, and stands by supporting his body weight on his knee that is in the...

HOLY SMOKES!!!!!

This technique used at :30 is one of the first techniques in my foundational Tai Tzu form!!

The USMC does Tai Tzu Whoo Hoooo!!!!! :D

...

Maybe.

I just don't think BJJ is a big a part of it as it is made out to be. I have discussed this with Marines in the past. Asia is the only one who says BJJ is a big part of the curriculum.

I think I made the point before that it is a small part of the curriclulem, based in part on this curriculum list. There are 40+ skill sets listed there...only 4 are ground fighting.

WRONG. I am stationed with Marines, as well a Navy and Air Force. This is a training center were all branches, even foreign forces come to train. I still have way more insight in this than you do
...

Is it a big part, or a small part. That is the question.

So is Asia Army, or USMC?

If he is Army, then it really does not matter what he says, my discussion is what the USMC is doing.

Marines Training BJJ on their own and THE MARINE CORPS training Marines in BJJ are two different things. I just got out of the Marine Corps this year, and right now the MCMAProgram is not BJJ heavy....
