any tips for possible fight......

Chest Press used Effectively
» Hand to Hand Combat
I've been browsing groups and other sites, and I'm going to post some interesting topics I've found. One of them is about the chest press or shove. In many street fight encounters, one of the first things you see people do is the old shove or chest press. Here are few questions regarding it. Do you think it is an effective technique? If so, why? If not, what could make it effective? Wha ... Read More at MartialFighter.com

Warriors of yesterday Vs. Warriors of today????
» Hand to Hand Combat
I was at a dojo "Perhaps a Mcdojo but not sure"? and the "Soke" Sensei Told his students that he has modified thier style to fit the needs of today. He went on to say that the warriors of yesterday didn't have problems like we do today (Gang fights, bottles, knives,etc. etc. etc.), so their techniques wouldn't work today like they did yesterday. Somehow to me that sounds ... Read More at MartialFighter.com

Real Fight Self Defense Ranges and Combat Takedowns
» Hand to Hand Combat
As stated in my last post: Staying on your feet in a real fight, the double leg and some wrestling takedowns are inherently dangerous. You typically fall to the ground, if you are untrained in takedowns, they are easily defended against, and they can take a longer time to execute. That being said, it is still one of the best takedowns for MMA and grappling. This post is going to be about the ra ... Read More at MartialFighter.com

Also, is it better to tone (lower weight, more reps) or strengthen (higher weight, less reps) your arm muscles for a ma ... Read More at MartialFighter.com
Which martial art to start with?

Hi, I am 16 years old, 5'7 140 lbs. I would like to start a martial art, but I am still not sure what I like the best about MA : fighting or tricksters. Therefore, I do not want to start MMA, nor gymnastic. I want to get a base about fighting, and then I can choose whether I like the flipping and big kicking part of martial arts, or the fighting (MMA, muay thai, etc.). The thing is, I ...

Sparing Attacks (Help Topic)

I'd like to start by saying that I've never had "formal" combat-training, but am in good shape and have some experience with sparring and boxing. But not for a couple of years. For the past couple of weeks I've been taunted and threatened by this guy about my age, my height and my build. He is slightly more athletic and evidently fights more than I do, but we're similiar. I feel as th ... Read More at MartialFighter.com
