I'm by no means an Aikido fan, but I think you are being a bit unfair:quote:Uyeshiba himself was good but when the students tried to apply the techniques they couldn't make them work under real conditions. In a way, Aikido had too much "technique" for the limited one year of training.

First one looks to have their own building, which probably adds to the price. They have the most experienced teacher as well. 2nd one, hard to say. Go check it out? Last one is a USJJF club. Never heard of USSJF before and it looks like this apperantly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lr95G0BBCO8 I would check out the first 2.

Nierbo posted:So at MMA one of the coaches sons was teaching boxing and he said to keep my back foot parallel to my front, but I watched a tonne of boxing online yesterday and I don't think I saw a single boxer do that. Whats the deal? It's the ideal and helps keep your hips square and allows for the most efficient forward/back movement.

Obviously it depends on what exercises you are doing, but the idea is max effort through the round and rest should be shortened enough so that you are really struggling through the couple of rounds.

KildarX posted:You do you bro, it's like dating in the office place. Yea it could end up cool like yours, I assume, but for every time it was cool there's times where poo poo happens and causes a whole mess of drama and the gym suffers for it. Yeah, to be fair, I was aware of the potential fallout risk and was aware that I probably would have to change club, should it go awry. Many of us mixed socially after practice and a lot of us in the same age-group (25-35), so relationships, if not common, certainly weren't unheard of. The only real drama was when one couple split up, but they joined as a couple and eventually sorted themselves out enough to be able to practice together. (Although that did take a couple of years)

Piell posted:If you aren't learning martial arts to be able to use it if needed then go learn something you can actually use, like dancing or juggling. Why? It still teaches discipline, manners and respect. It (if taught properly) teaches you how to use your body and it'll keep your reasonably fit. Do I think that a lot of the techniques are bullshit in terms of practicality? Sure, but if people enjoy, improve themselves and don't go out and try to pick fight when drunk (Which I've seen plenty of kickboxers, BJJ's, etc do), then I can see absolutely nothing wrong with practicing it.

kimbo305 posted:Not sure what you're referring to by "that." Having beginners assess degree of equipment used to level of sparring? No, that sparring is necessary for a martial art to be 'alive'. I (periodically) practice Katori Shinto Ryu and there's no sparring. Yet, it's a school that stood the test of time (and battles). I guess I'm mainly challenging the notion that martial arts is limited to punching and grappling.

kimbo305 posted:I think this dimension of martial arts is almost tautological. Proper sparring is alive, and aliveness comes from proper sparring. My main martial art is kendo and my opinion is that realistic sparring with weapons is impossible. You can simulate parts of it, possibly all the various parts, but you cannot do all the parts combined. It's simply too dangerous, which is why koryu's such as Katori Shinto Ryu, etc was 'invented'. Obviously the main purpose of those arts have changed. There's no 'need' to learn to use a sword, so people do it as a hobby and as tool for self-development. You could argue that the art is dead/dying because of that, but then whenever I have practiced with the senior KSR teachers, they are just as much 'alive' as my opponents in kendo. What I'm objecting against, is that martial arts should be defined as something that's effective when you want to punch people in the face (or want to avoid getting punched in the face). It's far more broad than that. (you can punch them in groin too!)

LionArcher posted:Plenty of teachers in aikido I've had striking backgrounds (Kung fu, Karate) and taught proper striking technique as well. I have seen plenty of (bullshit) aikido along the way, but characterizing the whole art as bullshit is a bit much. This is my take on it too. In order aikido to be implemented in any realistic manner, you need to cross train. The point remains, though, that you are much better off doing a MMA variant than aikido, if you want it to be practical at all. I've yet to see any kind of non-fake demonstration of aikido, where the attacker is actually attacking and not just doing a karate-chop or grabbing a hand. Their weapons demos are even worse.

LionArcher posted:Because in your scenario you get arrested for assault and if I had to end the situation it will look like I did some sort of weird lock on them and won't get charged with assault. So why not just do BJJ instead? By your own admission, it's easier to learn. I mean, I like the philosophy behind aikido, the movement system, etc and I understand why it attracts some people, but I would never call it an effective martial art and I've yet to see any evidence that it is.

KildarX posted:Does Kendo have any grappling associated with it? I assumed for historical purposes it would have retained a few sword on sword clinch maneuvers. Not really. Footsweeps and throws are 'legal' in police kendo tournaments, but won't score. It's also pretty dangerous, as you are on a hardwood floor. A couple dojo's do what they call 'old style kendo' and have a fair amount of it, but it's not really historical in terms of kendo. Some dojo's do it as a part of 'hazing' on special occasions (birthdays, similar), but it's with a implied consent and always the stronger students who will be exposed to it. (Some Japanese highschool/uni dojo, not so much implied consent, but under the kohai/sempai system, so you can call it cultural consent if you will). On the practical side, taking away 50% of your power in a clinch is a very high risk maneuver. None of the traditional sword arts I've seen and practiced have moves involving grappling once the clinch has started. There would be stuff where you would divert the power of the opponent, but they all focused on then using the 3 foot razor blade in your hand

Yes, soon you too can be running around trying to murder people for trying to steal $5 worth of crappy bike frame.

Looking for some feedback on rib injuries. Mashed mine good 2.5 weeks back in dirt jump gone wrong and was wondering what people's experiences with healing times have been? I'm supposed to attend a training camp this weekend (mostly as a referee) but wanted to practice too. I can do deep breaths without pain, but lifting/sneezing still hurts. I think they're just sprained rather than broken, so I'm inclined to 'risk it' at the weekend.

This is for kendo, so 'rolling' wont be a problem. I think I'll go to the beginners practice on Thursday, shout a bit a bit at them, join some of the drills and see how it goes.

Different art, but usually passing a promotion exam is an opportunity to re-visit your basics. When I'm working towards an exam or tournament, I'll usually (re)discover several issues that I need to work, that requires 're-tooling', a process that is often too long (and distracting) to implement when you are working towards a shorter term goal.

My first teacher put a fair amount of effort into teaching us (2 seniors students) " how to teach " and assigned each of us a group of students. One general guide line was that if you have to repeat something more than 3 times (and no change towards the right solution is happening), you need to find a different way of phrasing/demonstrating it. Another task, was to find '5 good things' about each of our 'students'. It's very easy to tell relative beginners what they're doing wrong, but far harder to say what they're doing right. Often you can then ask them to take parts of what they're doing right and transfer it over to areas that needs improving.

Tacos Al Pastor posted:Lately I've been struggling with whether to train if my body is sore, Ill train even if it is. I know the obvious, if you feel sore, take some time out from sparring. But then I get sore from drilling and doing warm ups as well if I leave the sparring out. How many days off do you guys take a week to recover? How much should I be sparring as a blue belt? I'd do it everytime I go in if I could, but I just cant find the energy to. How's your sleep and diet?
