Whats the deal? It's a style thing. The amateur coaches I used to work with went for the general parallel approach, which is more of a relaxed foot position thing, and I've seen material (Hazlitt's book, eg) that prescribes a kind of pidgeon-toed approach. Unless you mean that he was saying that you should never under any circumstances have your feet in any position other than parallel. That would be weird.

Whats the deal? It's the ideal and helps keep your hips square and allows for the most efficient forward/back movement.

Boxing for MMA or boxing boxing? Some people find they have more power with the rear foot pointing to the side and have enough skill elsewhere to live with it. It makes it a bit easier to slip to your inside.

I learned boxing in a pure boxing gym and they taught the stance with your rear foint pointing forward, but the place where I'm going now (MMA/boxing/thai/kickboxing) taughts it with the rear foot pointing to the side. Never asked why (and I'm probably wrong), but I suspect it's easier for people to learn who wants to get later into other things that involve kicking.

For MMA wouldn't you want your feet pointed forward to shoot/prevent shots and throw kicks/knees?

Looking for a product reccomendation : groin protectors ( i live in europe if that matters because i will probably have to order it online) A few weeks ago i got kicked in the groin while wearing a shock doctor bio flex cup, and it hurt. a lot. So i'm looking for something that's a lot tougher while not immobilizing me too much. I've been looking around online and seen some of these thai steel cups, any idea on those ?

're: foot placement. I find that its not overly important to focus on. Granted, I can't outbox a grocery bag, but I find its more important to hit the guy an getn out of the way than it is to worry about which way your toes are pointing. Seriously, watch some fights. Those guys don't study toe chi. On an unrelated note, what are the risks of taking a fight while out of shape? I've trained regularly for about two years now, but I love beer and ice cream. Will I literally die?

Got my ankle popped while i was getting an inside heel hook applied onto me. It felt as if a few big bubbles were popping in my foot. Didnt hurt much after a minute or two but my foot is kinda tender today. Ive iced it a little. Can anyone tell me if rehab or special treatment should be done and for how long?

Lately I've been swimming a couple of times a week. Really good cardio exercise to complement grappling. Almost no joint strain at all, lots of big (gentle) rotational movements, and your body feels really good afterwards. It's like simultaneous cardio and joint rehab.

I tried a karate class last week to supplement my aikido stuff. They were very old school formal in their approach, and their website said verbatim, "Do not train with us unless you're willing to commit full time as a student." So, I sent them a email that I had a lot of fun, but couldn't go full time since aikido is my home dojo, and wishing them the best. I got a mail back that was basically "WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM WELL WHATEVER BYE." I have no idea what people even want sometimes.

I looked at places near me. I found a place looked neat had karate and jjj, so I sent an email up to them with some questions that weren't answered on the website, where'd dude get his black belt from, do they live spar(which I required absolutely no wiggle room), some other really basic stuff, and the guy responded saying he'd rather talk over the phone. While it was annoying due to my lack of cell phone at the time and how my job was I set up a phone meeting with the guy, and he pushed for me to come into his gym, and when I asked him questions he got absurdly defensive and started saying how I should learn respect for my elders(I was 25 at the time) and stuff like that. Suffice to say I don't know karate or Japanese jiujitsu. Gym owners are people too, some are power tripping assholes some aren't.

Keep Aikidoing and posting about it.

So I tried to get back into MMA training about 3 weeks ago. First class I strained a forearm (still not back to full), second my shin somehow found my partners knee when I was getting body slammed and it still hurts to walk. Going back to the doctor tomorrow for that. I haven't been back to the MMA classes yet since I got bronchitis in the mean time, but I'm kinda thinking about picking something a little less intense. I care more about lifting than martial arts, overall. There's a traditional dojo that's fairly cheap, no contracts, and well respected that I can go to. I've visited in the past and liked them. They offer all sorts of classes, so I could easily do something like karate during the week and judo/jiujitsu over the weekend if I want to. Or go to some kobudo/iado classes to dance around with weapons. I'll feel like a bitch giving up on the MMA stuff so quickly, though...

I get the sense that a lot of us have had the Aikido experience that's "check out this technique I need you to grab my hand... no my other hand... no like this... well it doesn't work if you do that..." The problem with aikido is you can't really learn the basics unless you do grab someone's hand the "right" way to start with. "It doesn't work if you do that" is a widespread problem, though, and it's a lot better when the other person's striking, because you have movement to work with. However, the first thing you're taught (or should be) is that, if they don't move the way you want or at all, hit them. They'll unstick real fast after that. That lesson frequently gets lost, though, because A) aiki guys are usually pretty laid back and don't like outright slugging people in the dojo and B) the "magic hakuma" effect (i.e. you move the "textbook" way for sensei because sensei, but not for your training partner.) That being said I trained regularly under a seventh dan, the (late  ) Kevin Choate-Sensei. He actually trained regularly with O Sensei, he was like 6'7", and he was loving terrifying. He grabbed me by the throat once during training because I wouldn't stop leaving it open. Not choke or strike, just "whoops got your throat, okay go sit down junior your ukemi sucks today."  He never hurt anybody on the mat, but he cross trained in systema, and you could tell he could loving wreck you if he really wanted to. I heard stories from a sixth dan requesting he hit her with more force so she could experience what it was like. The exact quote was, "It felt like a bomb went off in my shoulder."Another guy like that is our school's head instructor, Satomi-Sensei. He's an eighth dan, also trained under O Sensei, and was one of his closest students. He is also a terrifying man, although I've never even seen him so much as raise his voice. That's the thing about the high ranking guys: they move and carry themselves in a way that just screams, "do not gently caress with this person." White belts and even lower dans aren't guaranteed to get their poo poo to work right 100% of the time. Satomi-shihan and Ikeda-shihan? Whitehead-sensei? That's a whoooole different story.

A lot of it is keeping tension out of your body and moving with the blow, though, so it's not like they're just standing there decking each other. But dang can experienced systema guys punch you in ways that make your insides hurt.
