Glima (Viking wrestling)

Just found out about Glima today. It's a Viking wrestling system with an apparently unbroken lineage. The videos below are loose grip Glima, there's 3 other styles which I haven't looked in to yet.

They encourage BJJ practioners, wrestlers and judoka to participate in their tournaments so must be pretty confident in their skills.

The most unusual thing about it is how you win.

You win by taking your opponent to the ground and getting to your feet and away to a safe distance which is a really great skill for self defence.

Question on knee injury

$
0
0
Hey folks.

I blew my knee out pretty hard about 2 weeks ago now. I was grappling in wrestling shoes, in a stand up clinch situation, going for tai ogoshi I believe is the judo term. Guy stepped around my leg and tried to take me over from back side clinch, I tried to resquare up by turning in. ..everything but the left knee made the turn.

Cue a loud click in the side of my knee, which had sustained dislocation before, but this feels different. I've gotten some range of motion back, straightening the leg works again. But I am having trouble pushing with the leg, and motions mimicking butterfly guard are painful to just unusable due to stiffness in the joint.

Now to the question. .. am I screwed? Do I need to go to the doc? I usually just baby these things for a couple weeks and then ignore, but this feels a little different. Folks who have torn an acl or mcl, what does that feel like?

Basically, I'm trying to avoid spending money on a doc unless I'm seriously messed up and the knee won't heal itself. Maybe someone who has experience with the difference between a small pop in the knee and a torn tendon could make an educated guess?

Darn thing is still swollen after ice and heat for weeks. Then again, I'm a security supervisor and do a lot of walking, so maybe it's just the lack of rest on it?

Sorry for the long post. Old war stories about knee injuries and their rehabilitation are also more than welcome. For context, I'm 28, and just started training in a real way 3 months ago after being sedentary for 3 years following a herniated disk in the back and I have been hitting it as hard as my body will allow, which was about 9 to 15 hours a week of BJJ and striking training.

I am confused about nerve strikes and spit

I was talking with this girl I am fucking. She have 3 year of education in acupunture. She has this weird thing that she always press points on my body. I don't really care. Anyway.. I start talking about krav maga. I trained krav maga for 6 months like 10 years ago when I was in the military. I told her about how we learned to "knock people out" by hitting certain points on the neck and behind the ears etc. The general ide of these strikes is to "overload" the nerve system so that it goes into shock and turns the victime unconcious. Hard to explain this since my English is not top notch.

She told me straight out that most of what I said was false. For example if I hit somebody of the side of the neck it might knock people unconcious because it disrupt the blood circulation to the brain Not because it overloads the nervesystem. She is usually right about everything that has to do with the body.. and it is 10 years since I trained krav maga. I can't remember that I have knocked people out using these techniques but alot of my doormen friends talk about these techniques and say that they have used them succesfully. I am a bartender btw. fights happen but I usually sovle it in a smart way. Usually with words.

My English is really shitty so I will try to make it short by asking a few question. It would be super nice if somebody with better knowledge than me could help me out.

1) can a strike to the side of the neck or to the back of the head knock a person unconcious even though the strike is not super hard?

2) Let's say I hit somebody on the side of the neck with a "knife hand" (term from tae kwon do) If it knocks somebody out is it because it does something to the nerves in the side of the neck or is it because it does something to the blood flow to the brain? I put the knife hand technique there to make it easy to understand what kind of strike I am talking about. Also.. other martial arts have the same strike with a "knife hand" to the side of the neck so hopefully there should be some "merrit" to the claim.

I don't agree with the Heel Hooks thing well I do the whole cranking away thing but that could literally be said for any other sub as well.

I would also add to the list:
Partners that don't ever try anything new.
Partners that don't work on the lesson of the day even when given plenty of opportunity.
Partners that treat every roll like its life and death.
Partners that never roll hard.
Partners that don't understand that rolling is for learning.

Benefits of tsuba or other small sword guards?

$
0

To me small or non existant guards on swords simply seem like a poor design choice.

I've tried to find possible benefits online but non of the explanations seem adequate even taken in conjunction.

I've been told that nothing larger was necessary but when I used to do backyard Kendo I found larger home made tsubas resulted in being hit in the hands less often.

I've heard larger guards restrict movement but I never found them restrictive and from watching experienced users using these swords I can't see any techniques where larger guards would be an issue either.

It may be slightly quicker to half sword as you don't have to open your hand as far to get in position but this was more common with Europeans who had much larger guards.

It makes the swords a couple of ounces lighter but saving that weight so near the hilt wouldn't give you a noticeable speed boost.

To me it just seems objectively better to have a sensible sized guard so what possible reason would someone have to design a swords like that and how did they become so widespread?

Am I missing something?

John Danaher Leg-Lock System Drama

It's been an interesting several weeks. Basically the summary of the story is Island Top Team conducted a seminar, filmed it and posted it online of material from a private lesson with Eddie Cummings. Garry then posted on Facebook:

Hard enough to make a living in this sport without you giving information people worked hard to develop for free. Also if you use another persons name, likeness, or pictures to promote your videos or dvd, without their consent, that's insanely inconsiderate, and in some cases illegal.

Which cause the video to be taken down and then re-uploaded a few weeks later:

Not going to link here

I watched the videos, there is definitely some very interest tidbits. I played with some of it last night, with the leg locks systems from Hall, Bodycomb and others I've learned and have used successfully. A couple of things:

1. This isn't Danaher's system, its just some basic information on Ashi Gurami and some basics of how to finish the Heel Hook. The concept of Knee control has been something I've seen and even taught for years. I picked some some details I thought were interesting though.

2. Finishing the Heel Hook, I saw some stuff I really liked, that he didn't actually explain on how to force the bend in the leg but he did it each time. I been experimenting with a few methods, but I tried the one I saw in the videos last night from the Inside Sankaku, Ashi Gurami, Reap and 50/50 that was working really well. The concept and capturing the toes I have been taught since white belt.

3. Some of the trouble shooting the Double Outside Ashi position was interesting using the concept of framing.

4. The hardest part of of Leg Lock systems is the entry into the positions, which aren't even touched in these video. Calling them Danaher's system wasn't accurate. More accurate would be, "some Leg Lock Finishing Details I picked up from training with Danaher's students"

I know a lot of people that train under Danaher have said he has a some of the details wrong of stuff he is teaching, and I can see that as I filled in a lot of holes from my personal knowledge and training, but they were interesting none the less.

I been out of the country for the last few years, but I am looking forward to doing a Cummings seminar after I return to the US this year.

If you are in The Philly area go down to Fish Town and train with these guys. Phil and His brother Ricky are both world class black belts, Muay Thai teachers, Mma teachers, self defense experts, Phil is also a yoga Guru and Ricky is a strength and conditioning expert.

More importantly they are great people. If you go down there......Tell them Rayce sent you and perhaps make them some sort of side dish or casserole? They may give you a discount if you do? But I am certainly not final word on that.

A question or two about GKR

Hi,
I've been doing a little research about GKR after my sons have shown an interest (not following the arrival of a door-knocker actually, one of their friends does it so they've been asking if they can go too). I've read a whole bunch of problematic stuff on here that's putting me off, but most of that I've read seems to be from 5+ years ago so thought it might be worth asking if anyone knows that improvements have been made over recent years (ie its been around longer now so a more highly-qualified pool of instructors etc)
Forgive me if I've missed threads though, I've been having trouble with the search function so if it has come up more recently I may have missed it!
Thank you ! J

One of the most difficult skills in the martial arts is fighting women. The problem is that a woman just flat out CAN NOT win a fight against a man. Could Rousey beat your 120lb drunken untrained cousin Bob? Sure, but that's not the topic. For all intents and purposes, women CAN NOT beat men. Delusional self defense and martial arts instructors claiming otherwise is pure bullshido. What CAN women do? Fight hard enough and well enough to earn themselves a proper ass kicking and/or trigger a man's defensive response. This raises several important issues for the male martial artists in arranging his defense against aggressive females. The first issue is that no matter what you do, or what the circumstance is, you will have to fight the white knight, be it a bystander or the legal system. The second, is that should you be chivalrous yourself, you'll not wish to deal out assloads of damage. This is where things get interesting.

I've found that there are two types of women that will attack you, women that can fight, and women that can't. A woman that can't fight is safer for all parties. She'll deal only slap damage and can be easily restrained by grabbing the arms. This has the benefit of her not being able to hurt you and you not NEEDING to hurt her. The second type is a woman that can fight. They're dangerous in and of themselves, but they also draw out white knights due to the force needed to stop them. They like to attack first, attack without warning and attack in effective manners. They are dangerous. Like all women, they CAN NOT WIN. However, they can deal damage, and may deal enough damage, should they be left to their own devices, to hurt you.

I personally have witnessed a number of attacks in this manner. In one encounter, which was nearly fatal, a woman attacked a man from behind, choking him. He countered with a reverse headbutt. Yes Plasma, those work. She was, like the TMA guys promise, maimed. In another incident, a woman attacked a man with multiple blows to the head. He deflected them and began to counter when he was bum rushed by police. In another incident, a woman assaulted a manager and two security guards before being choked. Now, what would I suggest in terms of staying out of jail and remaining safe?

1. Never underestimate a woman's capacity for violence.

They should be on your radar just like men. This helps you to:

2. Shut them down proactively.

In Starship Troopers, there's a brilliant scene were the drill sargent is struck by a recruit. So they pull the sargent aside and ask him WTF the problem is. Why did he allow himself to be struck? Cause they might have to hang the recruit. When they act up, it can be tempting to treat them with kids gloves. Don't. Treat them aggressively. Let them know they can't win. Then they won't attack you.

3. Realize that women are MORE prone to violence.

They're not used to consequences. Men won't swing on you. Why? Cause they don't want to die. Women assume that men won't fight back. Makes them more likely to attack.

Anyways, that's my thoughts on dealing with violent women without going to jail. Shut it down early and aggressively. Let her know in your stance she can instigate a fight, but that she can't WIN a fight. Then you'll neither have to eat a blow or see a cell.

So there is some debate here of maybe moving away from Dell to Apple for Laptops.

I know we have quite a few IT professional up in here so I was wonder what some of your thoughts on having Apples as a standard in the enterprise environment.
If you have them how do you handle patch management?
Anyone out there with Kace and Apples?

I saw this um I guess lets say advertisement pop up on my facebook feed.

Comparing Cryotherapy to ice bath.

http://www.subzerorecoverysd.com/cryotherapysandiego/

One of the things I have heard about ice baths not mentioned is that they help reduce swelling in microtears thus allowing much faster recuperation of muscle tissue.

Anyone know if that is even true, and would Cryotherapy do the same thing at all?

Is it all just a bunch of bullshit?
