I don’t like to toot boxing’s horn much, but I train some 14 year olds who would destroy both of these guys.
Far from it. Jack Dempsey is one of the greatest boxers of all time, and he learned most of what he knows from real bareknuckle fighting. You just can’t argue with a record like Dempsey’s.
Wow, this thread is full of zoomies.
When I was in the Corps, we were way too busy doing things like fighting our enemies to have a boxing gym. I guess you summer camp kids get all the nice shit.
Air conditioning? That’s called opening the window in the corps.
You look too tense. Keep it nice and loose untill the last second, then tense up for additional snap.
Also, I’ll echo some other sentiments by saying you need to move around. I don’t ever do bag rounds anymore without circling the bag.
I think the real solution here is to leave summer camp and join up with the Corps. They’d stop chastising your Chair Force membership after you cracked a few of their skulls.
I hate to sound like an E-TOUGHGUY here, but I really wish I lived in Australia so I could cave this guy’s head in.
Seems to be a pretty standard suburban American dojo.
Take that as you will.
Hulk Hogan would beat them both, man. Nothing is greater than the power of HULKAMANIA, BROTHA!
Even if Bruce did get off some god blows or Matt got on an armbar, Hulkster would just no sell it, stomp around and unleash a flury of slow punches followed by the mighty ATOMIC LEG DROP.
There is no answer to the mighty atomic leg drop. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were just coverups for Hulkster’s development of it.
You know, if someone tried hateful walking on me, I think I’d HAVE to kick them in the nuts.
The temptation would be too strong.
Also, just FYI, your basic water technique for straight punch defense leaves you WIDE open for a hook or cross from the other hand, and the earth technique leaves your body and face wide open for a good pummeling, too. In fact, it seems all your defensive techniques work fantastically well…but only if your opponent throws a single punch and then stands there like an idiot.
Sorry, but I think some of the young kids I work with could probably wreck all your students.
You apparently don’t know the power of HULKAMANIA, brotha! The Hulkster body slammed the FIVE HUNDRED POUND Andre the Giant and then dispatched him with the mighty atomic leg drop.
Nothing beats Hulkamania. Nothing.
Also, am I crazy for thinking Bruce looks pretty terrible on that bag? He’s not hitting it particularly hard or fast, nor does he demonstrate a very good technique with his hands down like that.
I guess that’s what happens when you spend most of your career pretending to fight instead of really fighting.
That German wrestling stuff actually looks pretty cool. I just wonder how well it’d work against a non compliant opponent.
So deadmeat, remember, this guy is EARTH PATH. His basic block of a straight right leaves him dreadfully exposed for a left hook, body shot or cross.
Just a little FYI. All you have to throw is a right and a quick left followup and you can have this guy easy, without even taking it to the ground.
Yeah, scyber clotheslining that poor girl was probably the most technical move I saw. The rest is mostly either overcomplicated defenses, flailing ground attacks or strikes so slow I’d be an old man before they got there.
Scyber, it really doesn’t matter if your overcomplicated defensive maneuvers are being done at slow speed. They’re still too complex, and thus much slower than the left hand I’ll be throwing almost at the same time as my right. There’s a very good reason why you defend from punches by blocking, covering up, parrying or moving away and not by catching the hand and shoving the guy.
Sweet. I should go learn it so I can flip a guy over my knee, catch him on my back and do a set of lunges with him kicking and screaming across my shoulders.
So was this EPIC THROWDOWN between CyberMonk and Deadmeat yesterday or is it next week?
We just yelled lines from the Juggernaut, Bitch, but yours is a good one, too.
All depends on what you’re training for, man. In MMA, yeah, something that would leave you open to kicks and TDs is bad, but I’ve used a jab-cross 1-2 to KO quite a few guys, because they usually don’t expect it.
It works particularly well against overconfident oriental martial artists who think that with their SUPERIOR NIPPON STYLE they will easily beat my “slow gorilla attacks” (one guy actually said this.) Unfortunatley, since their blocks usually suck and leave them wide open (and they have no idea how to slip, dodge or duck thanks to never sparring full contact), a left cross after a right is usually all I need to get a quick KO.
It’s really fun to hit them with body shots, because they have absolutley no idea how to cope with them and aren’t conditioned to take them.
I’ve dropped black belts in kung-fu with a single liver shot, and it doesn’t even take a particularly hard one most of the time, either. I fought one guy who had been doing wing chun since he was 6 years old and easily dropped him with a single left hook to the liver that I threw on the move.
If he didn’t almost start crying, I would have laughed at him.
