When are we going to stop this?

If you know of any "reality"-based civilian martial arts that were not sports that are older, I'd be very curious to read about them.

the age of an art isn't the case at hand. what really matters from the top to the bottom and all the way around, the individual makes the martial art. if you can't fight, you shouldn't be fighting. period.

Actually, that was in response to your claim that sport fighting was a fad. MMA may be riding a high of popularity that may some day wane; just like boxing was much more popular in the 50s than it is today. But these types of sports have been around since the dawn of time and really aren't going anywhere.

Just thinking bout it, the people who hide behind a computer to troll around must have one very sad life to pretend so much.

because a two bit washout jock strap boy on a class D wrastl'n squad don't know jack shiite about grappling. And that's what I suspect you are... maybe... you probably don't even have that much experience. Meh - I do Judo, compete regularly in Judo and grappling tourneys (at least twice a year... sometimes more), my name's easy to find, you'll find that I post clips on youtube...

You ... hide, and then act like you know something. That means

TROLL and F.O.S. (full o shiite)

Unless this is the twilight zone hs wrestling is grappling. My friends who study bjj don't like fighting against conditioned wrestlers.

Just my 2 cents. Everyone continue.

Sure ya do.

I noticed you had no comments about how to counter any of those "loose" submissions when the guy asked for them.

Or maybe you just don't like technical conversations and would rather just talk cr@p.

Definitely the twilight zone with some pretty clueless people who claim to be grapplers yet think wrestling is not grappling.

Too funny.

all things considered i think peaceful orchid knows his technical aspects of submisson work and grappling in general, at least his technical posts elude to such

[Lucas]

not saying you got the most tact tho

[Syn7]

there is a subforum for MMA

all MMA related topics discussed there.

I like some of the MMA gears but not all of them

glove, shorts, etc

I really like things loose and a bit over size

but sometimes, no matter what

you sweat and got statics or electrical shock from MMA wares

cotton is the best

me think.

You training on a shag carpet or what? I can honestly say that static charge has never been a big issue. Sure I get zapped here and there but it`s not distracting or disturbing in any meaningful way other than a good laugh here and there when somebody over-reacts.

Agreed! I play the old card when they're better than me... because I'm like their dad's age in some cases. Plus you can do the "instructor" trick, which is... when they get you in something like an Americana, say "stop, here let me show you how you can apply that better".

Didn't see the post - basics: Telephone any choke attempts... don't panic, telephone and wait for them to tire or give up the position. I don't even attempt any escape from a sunk Americana or Kimura - too dangerous. Any straight arm crush, turn to get parallel to the attack or pillow the attackers leg. The old dude gave space in a lot of the picks - in his scarf - you could turn into him, go parallel, get a knee under, roll him past your head. His sleeper is deep, but deep half guard is an option, his guillotine - a lot of space, step in to the side, ride him down, escape to side control... etc, etc, etc...
