[quote=hpr;2176572]It boggles my mind that nobody mentioned the Savate spandex suits yet. It’s like Muay Thai, except it was originally done with heavy boots (thus the weird kicks) AND they wear silly superhero spandex suits when they fight.

Thinks get rough at ComicCon.
Another blanket statement. I’ve never trained in wrestling but I have trained in BJJ and used to regularly spar against a guy who had a wrestling background. He was a handful! He never gave me his back and, although I knew more Jujitsu techniques than he did (I outranked him) he handled himself really well on the ground. Like I said, he was a handful. Sometimes I guillotined him and sometimes he guillotined me. Most of the time though, he wore me out. I have a high degree of respect for wrestling.
Who the hell told you that? There’s no such thing as a martial art that “works wonders.” If this were true they wouldn’t have weight classes in the UFC. Not to dis BJJ but it ain’t magic. A 150 lb. BJJ black belt is going to have his hands full against a well trained 250 lb. wrestler.[/quote]
He would be a crappy black belt. Yes wrestlers are tough. a wrestler gave me a hell of a time last night. But in pure grappling, the blackbelt in BJJ, should tap out the bigger wrestler, or his JJ is not that good.

Yeah. I know. I’m being a dickbag.
The stick had red padding on it. it was a point based sparring. I remember there was this tall girl that no one could beat.
They have already developed this sport in the US. It’s called the fraternity system.
I can’t argue with that kind of experience under your belt.
Here is my review of everything i ever took.
Shotokan Karate: Did it for at least 4 years, reached brown belt, was on and off because i would just stop going to classes as it never seemed we were fighting.
the classes were strictly 1 or 1.5 hours, you could come only 2 times per week. It was mostly like this:
Boxing: probably did it for half to a year, reached proper punching and defense stage, liked it quite well because for the first time i learned how to fight a bit, quit because life happened (college ass rape FTW)
The classes were around 1.5 hours or 2, but you could stay after them to hit bags, get some pad work done or spar. you could go there 3 times a week, classes were done as follows:
sparring was always done after classes, first time i sparred was against a 30 year old man who has never fought in his life, he was quite aggressive when we only body punched, but i had a field day when the mouthguard came on and clocked him a bit too hard once because he walked into my punch, ouch.
Currently MT: have been doing it for 4 months now and its awesome possum skeet skeet skeet, we have clinching and striking days, we do LOTS of conditioning which is okay but i would rather we concentrate on the techniques more.
after class is when the fun stuff happens, you can either hit the bags, bulk up muscle with our humble mini-gym (ez-bar, bench press) but mostly, guys like to spar, mouthguard, shinguard, boxing gloves on, and its rumble time, usually starts light contact but quickly escalates to medium or hard, hit with everything, but be carefull with knees and elbows. love the club to death.
Okinawan sho ran ryu for a long time (1979-2000) kumite based… Good shit we also went to the ground with it so we got some grappling exposure if nothing else.
AikiJutsu, Kenpo, Ju jutsu- Weapons and weapon retention stuff (1984- present) Learned weapons and how to work against em… alot of fighting with grappling and stand up street based.
Bujinkan- 1990-2002 some good teachers in the Booj. Had it after things got dicey with rank and with what was comin gfrom Japan. I still go to the seminars occasionally but have no teacher in the Booj right now.
Thats most of the stuff I really went into detailed study with… though I have exposure to a lot more stuff… just not regularly.
I just went against a former wrestler with just 2 months of BJJ experience. He totally destroyed me. I never got the chance to pull him into guard. He has perfected the take down into side control. It felt like I was rolling with a 350 pounder (who I tap quite often). I want to got back for more so I can learn the ways of the wrestle. Wrestling + BJJ > BJJ. Also, wrestling > Judo on the knees.
Did I somehow go back to 2003 bullshido?
Sandbag2 you sound full of shit.
Where the fuck have you two been?
People have been taking this idiotic thread a little too seriously.
I had to google that. Apparently the manontanus is a small herbivorous dinosaur from the late Triassic period.
Sandbag2, can you talk us through the thought process that culminated in the creation of your thread, please?
JP’s itching to know.

good point JP. Sandbag, can you PM JP as many recollections as you can about your martial arts career?
He’s particularly interested in your emotions. Maybe you have some poetry he could read?
He’s too shy to ask himself.
can i post my poetry here ?
its about the MMA scene in twilight, and staying with the theme of using lots of made up words, i added a lot of those, some as sound effects, and some as something new to the english language.
also weird girls get stalked by 100 year old pervs, lose/lose for everyone.
