It’s spelled Jiu Jitsu—or Ju Jitsu/Ju Jutsu if you're feeling fancy... 😛

What exactly do you mean by strength training—are we talking bodybuilding, powerlifting, functional stuff, or just bodyweight exercises?
Bodyweight training—you'll be doing that during kickboxing anyway—so I’d say just take those days off from everything else... save your energy...

When it comes to Kubotan stuff, the most effective—and honestly, safest—bet is just hitting them with rapid-fire hammer strikes. Levers and pressure points are cool for training drills, but out on the street? I wouldn't count on that shit... unless you find yourself stuck in a clinch or on the ground where you can't really swing...

Kubotan institutes? I don't get this "institutes" thing...

Titan Gym $100.

Hey, let's not spam the rest of the forum—this thread and the classifieds are plenty for everyone to see.

If you've got more to say, just drop it right here in this thread. Thanks.

Honestly, I'll probably have to talk someone into helping me simulate actual combat like this, or just hit up a local UFC gym to see where I actually stand... that’s definitely the move!

quietbison3 says: @ Daniel Garcia... Yeah! Exactly—this is the kind of video I’ve been hunting for because this is basically what my last few training sessions have looked like... Now I can see I really need to tighten up those transitions. Holding the bag with one hand while throwing hooks, elbows, and knee switches isn't the issue—my cardio's decent enough too... But man, watching how fast Pato pulls it off... lightning speed.

Start by drilling individual strikes and transitions—once you nail those, start pairing a single transition with a strike, then maybe build a small series. Don't try that whole combo from the video until you've mastered the pieces...
😁 The best bet is just to head down to a UFC gym.

Bubnes survives the onslaught... 😁

As for those fight highlights, I was just scrolling through YouTube and most of them are absolute trash. Here’s one that actually looks decent.

GnP on a heavy bag isn't some crazy complex biomechanical science—at least not based on what I learned training UFC—so you could totally nail the basic drills on your own if you’ve got some combat experience and can actually learn by watching...

Thomas Wright, stop being ridiculous. 🙂 Dial back the spamming already—you're hitting every single new thread... ☕

Laura Newman said:Here, a little something.

Those prices aren't exactly great for three times a week.

Standard rates for martial arts and stuff—nothing crazy...

ironraven84 said:I’m guessing it’s Daniel Garcia, haha. Just curious though, how old is everyone over there? Like, what’s the breakdown for the 15, 16, or 17-year-olds?

It's a mixed bag, honestly—anywhere from 16 to 40. There aren't huge crowds, at least not during my training sessions...

Sam Roberts said:You've got Spartan at the Kerempuh Theater too. Pick one of those two...
If you head over to Spartan, there’s this chubby kid there. He’s alright...

🙂

crimsonmason2 said:It’s perfectly clear to me that Krav Maga doesn't actually have much to do with Japan—not at all—and neither does Muay Thai.
Honestly, I went to a Muay Thai class recently and—wow—I really loved it! It’s just so incredibly dynamic.

If anyone here happens to be more of an expert, could you please explain the actual difference in what I'd get out of Krav Maga versus Ninjutsu?

With Krav Maga, you're looking at modern, practical self-defense, a solid workout, and some fun... with Ninjutsu, it's more about playing ninja—warfare, Japan, exotic moves, mysticism, and maybe some old-school philosophy.
I did both for a couple of years. Now I'm doing Muay Thai and Tai Chi. 😁

rustycanyon14 said:Is Kokusai Jujutsu training in the middle of Times Square using electric guitars?

Oh yeah—both in Illinois and at the State Fair... definitely.

I don't know much about the local MMA scene here, so I'll just drop this link for you http://www.profightstore.com/adresar...je&grad=Washington, D.C.

If you're looking into grappling specifically, though—check out http://www.mma-klub-banteam.com/

placidbison20, just chill out—seriously, take a breather...🙂

Who cares about the altitude anyway—it doesn't even make that much of a difference when you're out there training...🙂
