@DaBhaalspawn i dont usually fight midgets, mind u. i’m not a bully
@veshkeat
LOL
@DaBhaalspawn I dont like knees. i know theyre good, they just dont feel right to me
Also, i have monkey arms, i dont need to lowermyself at all, unless i’m fighting a midget, in which case id just sit on him/her
@veshkeat
Yes, like I said, I tried it once while sparring and the face of the guy when the punch connected with his arm was just priceless.
I still think a punch to the leg leaves you way too open (you have to lower yourself too much IMO. Knee strike? Ouch).
LOL
“also, be aware that it can be used on the deltoid muscle higher”
xD
Disregard previous comment. Dumb me
@DaBhaalspawn Actually, a strike to the bicep hurts. if u can get a hammerpunch in there, do it. also, straight punches to the nervcluster on thigh hurts too, and no1 expects u to punch at their legs. won a knockdown karate fight like that once
I was sparring the other day, and out of nowhere, like instinctively, I pulled out this move. Only that I didn’t hit the elbow joint like it says on the video, because I feel you lose power like that (not mentioning he could block with the elbow – ouch!). I hit him on the side of his shoulder.
The look on his face said it all. It hurt. Like hell. So I wanted to ask, is it a reliable weapon? Will it make his arms slower / lower his guard?
I have to try this one.
Thanks for the video
That technique has to solely be for use in a boxing ring…and mixed martial arts, because on the street, in a real fight, one that demands self defense, you want to immediately take someone out in 1 to 3 fast moves, not dance with them in a fighting stance. I can think of several specific moves that I could use to place either of these gentlemen in a world of hurt…if they went into this destruction move. They are both open to major attacks…with resulting severe injuries, or worse.
i thought a destruction move such as that would be better aimed at the sides near the stomach so that they can paralyse a person for a short moment in order to land a finishing blow
Past 14 age starts becoming less and less important. Sure, a “black belt” kid would get his butt kicked by anyone over 20 years old. Age makes a huge difference when thinking about children.
I’ve been doing martial arts for about six years myself, actually. I wouldn’t say highly inexperienced, I prefer to use the term “suck”. Of course I could be better.
I teach my friends at my house because they want to learn. I don’t teach at my school. I am definitely not unconfident either.
Good you have a teacher then, but age and experience is everything. As reference and not ego measuring, I’ve got a compiled credential rounding up six years for six different MAs, I am barely a sempai or senior student to most people I know and I’m more than old enough to drink. I still think of myself as highly inexperienced, but not un-confident, there is a difference.
Again, these are reference materials, but also perspectives from individuals, not hardcore MA fact.
I have a teacher. I go to a kung fu school. wahlum . com I go to the main temple in Orlando. The exact one on the site. Even the old guy lives there. GM Pui Chan.
I see you’re point, but just because someone is young doesn’t mean they’re inexperienced. Also, books and videos are very helpful. Once you learn the basics, then things from books and videos come naturally. Of course there is room for error, that’s why you have to constantly check yourself to make sure you are doing it right.
Take no offense, but if you’re 15 and no dojo/gym training you, you in turn shouldn’t be training anyone. It’s as serious as someone who’s watched a few episodes of SCRUBS and E.R fresh out of high school teaching brain surgery to freshmen out of an anatomy textbook.
Long story short, you’re doing more harm than good learning from the net and books, find some sound training with good sensei/coaches.
o.o I never said anything like that.
I’m thinking the same thing you are. I was talking to jeffrey. :p
I train two guys and I practice a form of this by myself. When we do two man drills to toughen the forearms, neither of them want to be my partner (even though it’s the best for them). I can think of a lot of people who would hurt themselves by being blocked. (not necessarily by me)
Incorrect analysis.
When watching instructional videos like these, there’s one thing to keep in mind.
“What the hell is this for?”
In this case, as Vader mentioned, this is designed for full contact knockdown competition, not self defense or Bujinkan/Ninjutsu/taijutsu make believe “killing” techniques. Not saying I don’t get what you’re saying, but a good fighter will keep his hands up to protect his head, these techniques are designed to wear down said defense, not actually break anything.
True, the only time I ever throw shovel hooks is when I’m attacking the head from a blind spot.
No problem, I always try to have intelligent discussions unlike a lot of others.
I know in Boxing (where I learned the name from…we had them in the last martial art I trained in too, but we referred to it by numbers 7 (left) and 8 (right)), they are used to strike the body. I remember reading that Kyokushin (apparently) has strikes that aren’t in other systems of Karate, so that was one I was curious about.
On another note, thanks for being polite and respectful in answering my questions. It means a lot when you consider how most youtube commenters are.
Correct, and actually in Japan they’re starting to hold competitions with gloved head punches.
Idk, probably not, since there isn’t any advantage in attacking from that angle under current competition rules.
lol, the whole point is that they’re expecting you to block it and eventually wear your arms out.
Gotcha. So outside of competition and sparring, there’s nothing really stopping a Kyokushin fighter from going after someone’s head with these hooks and uppercuts (unless he/she was worried about killing or seriously injuring the person).
On a side note…I’ve seen hooks and uppercuts, so I’m curious. Does Kyokushin have shovel hooks too (shovel hook is a punch that’s like a midway point between a hook and an uppercut. It goes up like an uppercut, but curves similar to a hook)?
Well Kyokushin uses knockdown rules in their tournaments. Which means the goal is to knock your opponent down/out to win. These are just things to do to wear their body down if you’re having a hard time dropping them.
Problem with that… He’s striking the arms, so the other guy is technically blocking it. I get what you mean, but at full speed, it’s easier just to back up.
As far as actual street effectiveness goes, I don’t know (I have not been in an actual street fight, so yeah), but…I see in this and their uppercuts that they’re doing arm/body shots. But hey, if you’re quick enough, wouldn’t that fuck someone up in the streets too, if you struck the person’s head with those two hooks rather than the arms like this video?
These videos I’ve seen make it look like you have to strike the body, which is straight for competition and all…
you also gota understand that this is meant for competition, not for the streets. in competition, its just you and your oponenent and a nice big chunk of time for you to break down his body with moves like this and low kicks. on the streets, you would definitely not want to use this.
use a technique that ends shit quick, like a krav maga techinique.
hmm, strange technique, but me personaly i’d rather strike to the body or head, cause more damage quicker ooos
