I think there's probably a lot of room for that kind of retrospective about Fabio Maldonado

So, I have a question. Where and when did the tradition of combat sports on New Year's Eve start? A little Googling tells me that it probably started with puro, but I'd be curious if someone knowledgeable had any other details and maybe some stories of NYE fight cards past...

I'm currently not doing much of anything after having hip surgery, and I thought now might be a good time to ask some questions about striking. I've been watching UFC since 116 and I still don't have a very good handle on understanding/observing the striking. With grappling things seem a bit slower and I know what to look for. Or you can see someone slowly working a hand or leg into an advantageous position and once it's there they're in a stronger position. When I watch striking I'll feel confident one of the two fighters won standing and then I'll read posts from people that know more than I do about how it was the other way around and the judges will have it that way too. I just feel like I'm not catching anything I'm supposed to be. Are there videos that start breaking down the basics of what I should watch? Just trying to expand my knowledge a bit.

Jack slack writes for fightland and breaks down nearly every ufc card pointing out awesome poo poo people do and has accompanying gifs. Check that out. Also Lawrence kenshin youtube channel is another good striking breakdown service. Enjoy.

I second Jack Slack. He taught me a great deal. Other options: 1) Take a couple striking classes, boxing, kickboxing, muay thai, these would all work. It will open your eyes. 2) Find a good fight with a lot of dynamic striking. Now watch it, repeatedly, in slow motion. If you can't see exactly if/how every individual punch landed, you need to watch it more.

If you like the Lawrence Kenshin videos, I'd recommend LeeWylie on youtube.

Hey, so, I'm not really knowledgeable about fighting at all, but I was wondering: do people use the arms to strike very much? Like, I'm envisioning a karate chop without the hand. I can't find a name for what that'd be though or anything talking about it, so maybe I'm missing something about the science and there's a very good reason people only use their hands.

WickedHate posted:so maybe I'm missing something about the science and there's a very good reason people only use their hands. Hands are at the end of your arms, so you get the most range hitting with them, which is the dominant reason why they're used. Fro some strikes, the hand is also the part of the arm that's moving the fastest, which can impart more energy (and thus damage) to the target. Elbow and knees strikes can look vicious, but they're frequently moving much slower than a fist. Elbows are still effective because the elbow is bony and can concentrate force better, often leading to cuts. Forearms are used defensively from clinch and close ranges to shield from strikes and to shove off the opponent to make space.

In Pancrase they didn't have wraps or gloves and it was illegal to strike the head with a closed fist, but open-hand slaps were legal. Bas Rutten figured out that with an open hand he could still strike with the bony part of his wrist, and it was almost as good as punching. But that was a way to work around Pancrase's stupid rules, and not something you would do in any other context.kimbo305 posted:Elbows are still effective because the elbow is bony and can concentrate force better, often leading to cuts. Also MMA fights frequently go to positions on the ground or in the clinch where the distance is too close to punch effectively, while elbows can be throw effectively in very short distances. In addition I think elbows are very seldom used in sparring because it's difficult to practice them safely (you don't want to slice up your sparring partner's face), so most fighters don't have a lot of practice either throwing or defending against elbows. This is an advantage for fighters who are really good with them, because they can catch opponents by surprise. Travis Browne's KO wins over Gonzaga and Barnett are a great example. He figured out how to throw really hard elbows to the head while defending a single leg against the cage, which is ordinarily a position where the grappler is pretty safe from strikes.
