Denzel Washington in he got game ,when he yoked the guy the throat then elbow smashed,simply beautiful!
Coming from a more tradional base (shaolin chusn fa Tsai family system) although had a compition element and a self-defense element there are good things to be learned provided the intsructor knows what he is doing ,there was iron palm training(like stds body conditioning) and yes we hit things ,makarwas,sheilds heavy bags what not ,and took pride in whipping karate guys in those days who thought kung fu guys can’t fight or hit hard ,they found out we hit harder with penetration shots ,the thing is tradional arts may have other bagage that to some may be a waste of time ,example forms are full of combat techniques however extracting from them takes time and is you are looking for quick skills maybe not the approach however I petsonalt don’t think everything is a waste such as telegraph and none telegraph which not that I am sticking up for point sparing it does teach you how to hit first ,most professional fighters don’t even understand telegraph and none telegraph except for maybe Roy Jones Jr back in the day ,most thugs have no idea so if you can hit first without detection and hit hard most of the time the fight is over our school were hard hitters and got disqualified many times at tournaments as well as dominated ,that being said all this requires time and if you got the time train in it ad long as you are meeting your goals ,combatves are for those with only one objective self defense and quick skill ,great for people with busy lives ,like Damion has said many time martial arts is a life style ,also don’t denounce traditional training as I am yet to see a combatives program that doesn’t borrow a technique from them ,when the ufc first came out a guy from my area named kieth hackney who studied a shaolin based sytem(white tiger kempo) dropped a sumo guy with a shock palm (i believe this is in the sdts syllabus) that is a tradional tech and even Royce Gracie who beat him took some shots from him and admitted he hit hard,so in essence comvstives owe everything to tradtion but mondern time somtime require fast track and that’s in my opinion is wear combatives come in ,again assess your goals and time to train .
Ok I am in an apt and is there a way to put weights on the base maybe with the water as I need the portability?
Definitely much respect for judo ,I actualu tried it a few years back and loved the training then I blew out my knee doing it and had to get surgery ,and then no more judo but I greatly respect it .I hope to be starting sdts soon it good to hear other former martial artist view points on the sytem.
I have a question concerning the bob dummy ,is there an alternative idea as far as the water base? Would like to hear some other approaches ,thanks
I feel that there are situations were grappling may come in handy ,such as law enforcement etc….I have police buddies who train in judo ,which has great pinning techniques since police are often working within the law of proper force however for the common person whose job is not to engage striking should always be part of the syllabus due to the fact that it is the quickess way to learn how to defend yourself ,example if someone is in my face trying to intimidate or hurt me and I can strike in the eye maybe it justs pissed the guy off however if I can drive it half inch in his eye socket it will at least stop the attack which can provide a chance to escape ,get help,scream fire whatever or run! Being a former shaolin chuan fa practitioner I always appreciated the animal techniques (such as tiger claw also found in the sdts syllabus) because of their simplicity and effectivenesss and their design to attack the nervous system of the body.
