Hehe! That’s the reason she was the sensei’s GF/wife. Plus, noone needs aGF/wife who can actually punch. I mean, pleeeezzz…it takes away from here duties as a female.
Horse stance: it’s a training tool, and if you don’t know what you’re training then squats is far far better, agreed. However, a properly done horse stance is not statically unstable, that is only the case if the connection from ground through to legs/hips/spine(/arms) is not there. That’s what it trains, including then the ability to keep that connection when varying vertical height in movement. Of course it’s bloody difficult to do, keeping body straightened, waist joint (the one at front of hips to the stomach area) open and not compressing, hip bones together at the rear connecting the inner leg to bottom of spine, knees out but feet straight ahead (even slightly inwards) and arches of feet, inner leg, groin activated. For a start. Then going down as far as you can (maybe only 70 degree open bend) and still stretching up straight, no bum sticking out or head/back strating to come forward. It’s training, and I heartily agree with those guys who say it’s not for fighting. The kung-fool who used it in sparring deserves what he got all right. Sure, these training methods are not obvious, and Westerners often think they are applications of some sort rather than tools to develop specific connections or understanding of relationship between different parts of the body. Specifically the larger joints and the twists and tensions that create arches which in turn support the body.
anything washin ryu is worthless
You could always do what my hero ashida kim does [insert sarcasm here] - use ninja invisibility and throw sand. Guranteed to work against cops or your $10,000 challenge fee back! *
disclaimer: ashida kim is such a high level of pussy you will never get to pay your challenge fee because he’ll run away and wont fight you.
prob the worst one i ever learned was a TKD one step where if someone is punching at your chest, to turn all the way around and try to block it, then do a palm strike to the chin. that and when someone punches to your face to turn and block with both hands leaving your body and face wide open to a punch form the other hand.
gyaku-hamni kaiten nage. About as useful as tits on a shopping trolley.
what the hell is Gyaku-Hamni Kaiten Nage?
Ritual suicide (seppuku). Bout as useful as stabbing yourself.

this sort of shit.
Actually…that is a crosstraining move.
Aikidokas have learned to add Ballroom Dancing in with their formal Aikido moves.
Hey that move is the ultimate proof that you are in true harmony with the attacker and you move as 1.
kind find a video of it but the aikikai way to get to a ushiro ryote dori (two wrist grab from being) always struck me as odd:
The attacker come in from the front grabs one wrist (right wrist with his right hand for example) then goes around Tori to grab his second wrist…
This video and training mat will help you learn Aikido better.
Its called Bella Dancarella.
Its made by the same people who gave us this…
If you buy both of them you basically have Aikido.
You seem to be describing competition judo here. Judo is all fake like WWF, right?
That would be my first choice if I was boxing, though the straight right has to be thrown short with almost pushing movement. I think the attack to the bicep would go well if you know how to do a forward throw, but it had better be a commited haymaker. There was that fight when “Prince” Naseem Hamed (UK boxing lightweight defeated by Barrera some years back) got cautioned by the referee for ducking a haymaker thrown after the bell, turning in and hip throwing, without even touching the arm or taking any grip. He was wearing boxing gloves after all.
Someone tried something that sounded like that during a club competition. He got free, but when I went for juji he tapped before I had even got my grip secured. He’d torn his shoulder and needed hooks inserting into the bone or something. Ouch.
Are you turning your foot? Sometimes you used to see Yoshida sweeping imaginary piles of dirt around with his foot before a match. All judoka who use footsweeps do this instead of standing still, all of the time. People think they are weird, but hey footsweeps work. You have to time it right, when the attacker is putting his foot down. Don’t look at his feet, feel his movement with your grips. When you can do it you can do it.
If you do lot of leaning forward judo, then your feet won’t be close enough to your opponents to sweep, sweeps work best when both of you are more upright.
Outside of judo, you can tap a southpaw’s lead foot and come in with a big overhand right. I used to do it every now and then as a joke in boxing sparring, but I’d completely pull the overhand punch to avoid being kicked out of my boxing gym.
Sounds like Seio-NAge to me. The highest percentage scoring judo move in competition. But judo is fake like WWF, right?
Oh yeah! My LEO flatmate told me that. If they don’t wake up when you do that, you call an ambulance.
That takes the cake. That is the stupidest thing I’ve heard on this thread. You can kill someone with a blank cartidge at point blank range. I’m glad you’re instructor volunteered to try the move out.
On the whole pinky finger + ring finger grip thing: it is done in kendo/western fencing to stop the sword tip riding up. If you grip with the forefinger the tip rides up. In judo you grip with the pinky and ring to keep your arms flexible. It is easier to push away with the arms if you are only gripping with the smaller fingers.
On the whole hard block/punch thing it seems sensible for multiple opponent fighting. The strategy goes like this. Run around like a madman. Anyone with their arms in you punch as hard as you can. Anyone with their arms out you proactively hard block as hard as you can. These sort of techniques don’t work against good fighters, but if you are up against multiple fighters of your ability level, then you’d better use magic or invisibility or Dim Mak or something, cos’ you are seriously out of options.
The worst technique I ever learned was a double punch to the face, arms shoulder width apart. Who has two heads?
You just weren’t trained in the proper application. Obviously you wouldn’t use seppuku in most situations, but properly done it can catch your opponent off guard and completely take the fun out of defeating you.
Has to be kokyunage and seyundo…Just ridiculous.
LoL. Too damn funny…
Gold. Since it won’t let me +rep you for this, I’ll give you a pancake bunny instead. :pancakebu
Well, the worst technique I’ve ever been taught…
Had to be the one where your opponent grabs your wrist in a cross grab (i.e. their right hand grabs the inside of your right wrist in a handshake grip), and then you proceed to actually spin around counter-clockwise (yes, actually turning your back on your opponent) while your back is turned you reach behind with your free hand and grab their attacking hand. The whole time you don’t stop spinning so a wristlock is actually supposed to be applied. Now, sure it works when your opponent just stands their, but WHY IN GOD’S NAME WOULD YOU TURN YOUR BACK JUST TO APPLY A DAMN WRISTLOCK THAT YOU CAN’T EVEN SEE!!!
Sweet KSW taught you the "handshake defense " .
dude as a yellow belt we learned 6 different techniques for “handshake defense.”
