Members Symmetry2170 Posted June 8, 2008 Members Share Posted June 8, 2008 where you train at homie?there are a few others hereemelianenko is one I train at a couple different schools. I train at Ground Zero, in Huntington, WV when I'm away at school. And I'm about to enroll in an affiliate school of Ground Zero, here in my hometown of Parkersburg, WV. Both of which are Jorge Gurgel schools. I'm not a huge fan of him, but the instructors are black, brown and purple belts and the competition between all of us in the gyms is amazing. I started off here at home under a Royce Gracie school, but then the complex/building that it was located in had to shut down and we couldn't afford to open up a separate gym for ourselves.

Members SLfreak Posted June 8, 2008 Members Share Posted June 8, 2008 I've had excellent luck and a lot of experience sparring with both styles, having been practicing Kyokushin for 15 years. When it comes down to BJJ fighters, they can try and grapple all they want but as long as you can control range you're in charge. If you get too close, then you {censored}ed up and probably deserved the mouthful of tatami you got! It's all about maintaining range and balance against them. Upright MMA guys are terrible at that, way to many lunges and unbalanced strikes for upright fighters against ground and pound specialists and sure enough they find themselves on the ground, in their opponents court. Time limits force people to do very stupid things against BJJ fighters and once they've got you, you have fractions of a second to react before you're completely {censored}ed. For Muay Thai, it's different, at least from my perspective, as Kyokushin is a brutal art as well and focuses on conditioning and being able to take as well as receive - it becomes a slugfest! It's great training for full contact sparring and a lot of fun. It comes down to strategy, getting the other off balance or finding the right opening, basically you dish and take a beating until you find your chance, then you explode with all your chi and focus it on your opponent's weakness. Nice thing with the Kyokushin experience is I know how to counter whatever they throw (or rather, I should know how to counter), not so much with BJJ - not nearly as well as another BJJ fighter, anyways. The worst single style for me to fight is Wing Chun kung fu people. If you get too close to a top notch Wing Chun fighter, you're basically about to get tenderized. Fists of fury, tbh. If you find yourself against someone who is highly adept in multiple styles though, doesn't matter what you do, you're basically {censored}ed. My old Isshin-ryu sensei held a black belt in Aikido and helped train the olympic Judo team, and was a 3 time national karate champion and many more times local and regional karate/muay thai champion, he was a stocky little guy (buck eighty, five foot five) but could basically ruin anything in his path.

Members EvilMeow Posted June 8, 2008 Members Share Posted June 8, 2008 I thought it was hilarious! I have been taking Hapkido once again and just found this so freakin' funny! I :love: Hapkido! I got back into it again, too. This video is ancient, but it NEVER fails to crack me up. I try to watch it at least once a week to keep in good spirits throughout the day.

Members Symmetry2170 Posted June 8, 2008 Members Share Posted June 8, 2008 I've been doing BJJ for about 2 years and I have almost a decade of wrestling experience under my belt. I've been into Muay Thai for about a year and have learned to incorporate it all together but MMA is not something I want to pursue. I would rather continue grappling, Gi and No Gi, and hopefully coach wrestling some day once I'm out of college. I still definitely spar in Muay thai and MMA in my gyms on certain days when we have those sessions going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Symmetry2170 Posted June 8, 2008 Members Share Posted June 8, 2008 *waves* When I first was learning BJJ they threw basic Muay Thai into the curriculum... Sweet, dude. That's really awesome that they threw that into the mix right off the bat. Seeing as how I started out at Royce Gracie school, they really wanted to focus on the self-defense aspect of BJJ as well as the ground work and grappling skills, of course! My two instructors there were black belts in Sei-Kan (Japanese Jiu-Jitsu), which really isn't a big deal because that is about the equivalent of a blue belt in BJJ, which they were. However, both were very knowledgeable since they were police officers/corrections officers and trained directly under Royce himself for a while.

Members Symmetry2170 Posted June 8, 2008 Members Share Posted June 8, 2008 For those of us that train, what is your favorite sweep/choke/lock? Personally, I love the scissor sweep. Nothing more beautiful than landing that and transitioning into mount. OR even better, is when you have a reverse knee on belly and transition/spin into a mounted triangle.
