KF,

Would you say that trained grappling is purposeful in exploiting the untrained responses in opponents? Is the training geared to apply certain kinds of pressure to provoke those untrained...

Trolls get their power from their audience's insecurities. If folks truly believed in what they did, then they wouldn't get offended when someone else tries to pop their bubble.

Although, I must...

The point is to break the other guy against the ground, not yourself. IMO, the hard surface of "the streets" is a great asset if you're trained in takedowns.

I blame my presence on another rogue PsyOp.

You, sir, are a better man than I. :cool:

Pork Chop,

Not very many people choose a purpose for themselves, then actually live up to it. If you want to be a fighter, be a fighter! Keep sharpening yourself against your dreams, and you'll...

LOL! Those photo captions are priceless.

Definitely check out Reed. The works of his that I have are "Ki: A Practical Guide for Westerners" and "Ki: A Road That Anyone Can Walk".

I've used a number of the excercises from both books in...

Mat,

Thank you very much for the information. From your description, the Morita therapy sounds similar to the concepts of "integration" and "reintegration" from the field of psychology I am being...

LOL! I'll have to check myself back into the methadone clinic again.

Doesn't look like I've missed much since I've been gone.

Rogue, you're the least mutton-headed dude I know, but go ahead and keep playing the part. :D

Thanks for the kind words Matrix. I won't take full credit for the effort, though - I've recruited...

Sorry, that was pretty jargon-ridden. I barely understand those terms myself. :rolleyes:

The idea goes that kids who experience trauma walk around in a constant over-stressed state because of...

Hey Mat,

Sorry, I wasn't being evasive with my last post. I have been insanely busy, but wanted to give the thread a ttt to let you know that rogue pulled me out of the trailer court with his...

Shooter has smoked the correct.

KF,

Out of curiousity, what was the agreed upon definition used for "hurt" in those past attempts at an inch punch to the solar plexus? What did they say your response was supposed to be?

Rogue is correct, especially as it pertains to the subject at hand.

Whaddya want for it. ;)

Yes, more often than not.

KF, I would agree with you in the sense that what you described with the pummeling/clinch work operates from the premise of training to gain superior body positioning and control of the opponent. ...

A more realistic scenario would be a police response to the place where the incident has taken place or is in process of taking place. As far as how it goes from there, it depends on what state you...

If women's self-protection were solely about physical technique, then you would be correct.



You can't.

Self-defense for women has more to do with mind-setting than it does learning...

Two quick statistics from the DoJ:

>6 in 10 sexual assaults are committed in the...
