Quality is really hit or miss with traditional places. I've been to traditional places that were basically MMA in a gi, Goju-Ryu included. Been to 'MMA' gyms that were more TaeBo than anything else. I get what you're saying but...
>1: Martial Arts is a spectrum of experiences and there is no 1 thing that makes the definition
>2: Basing your opinion on a singular experience is retarded.
It's especially retarded when you can hop online and easily find examples of trad dojos that work differently.

>>217339
Did they do that thing to you where they badly misrepresent other martial arts to make themselves look better? Because my guys did a little bit of that sometimes.
>>217344
I get your point, but it was one of the highest recommended dojos in my area. Supposedly the people were really good. I'm sure they know karate well, but I don't kid myself into thinking they were teaching me to practically defend myself in a reasonable timeframe.
Also, that was my experience compared against many others I'd encountered. Not just me. I came, I saw, I decided I'd prefer something more serious. No need to get mad.
>>217347
>>why is karate a cult
I never asked that. Also of course I'm going to go for the traditional one. If I wanted a more modern karate experience I'd be better off just finding a third-rate kickboxing gym.

We all have so many valid complaints about how BJJ is run. List how you would design your BJJ academy, addressing the each problem you have created a solution for. I'll start with my ideas:

24 hour access to blue belts and up.

Separated area for advanced members to train during fundamental class times so the entire place is not off limits. Can also be used by members who prefer to stretch or run their own warmups so they don't feel pressured to do difficult warmups when injured, old, etc.

Zero class time used for discussing IBJJF rules and point systems. Offer a dedicated seminar class outside of regular class hours for this if you even want to focus on competition.

Be proactive in making sure members are appropriately matched for drills. A 200lb 40 year old man and a 115lb 20 year old girl who have never met are not appropriate. Not due to sex or age, but body type, and everyone deserves a productive class where they have an appropriate body to work with.

No stripe White belts are not allowed to interrupt to ask questions. But Blue belts are tasked with helping them and addressing them during drills. Can ask individually after class. This sucks up so much time and annoys seasoned members who just want to drill the move.

Adhere strictly to the old school system of promotion roughly based on years in and objective progress unless someone is a phenom for which early promotions can be justified by competition results. If a student is especially anxious and capable perhaps go to a few regional open mats with them and see how they fare against higher belts. Never promote based on being the big fish in a small pond.

I respect your opinions. But I think you are the one who makes this martial art so strong.

For example, if we have a Taekwondo player or any other art player who trains for eight hours, he will definitely beat a kickboxing or boxing player, for example. What do you think?

with a bigger board you can tilt it side to side and sort of cut through the water and zig zag down deeper, that way its not a big flat plane you're trying to force under water.

I have been doing MMA for 15 years, have fought 11 times as an amateur bum and I know how important cardio really is. However, am I wrong when I say that "warmups" before every class are bullshit and a sign of a McDojo, if they are basically a cardio workout on their own AND they consist purely of movements unrelated to the sport?

In my eyes, coaches do this shit if they are either too lazy to structure the class and think about the content, or they are doing some boxercise faggotry for fat soccer moms.
Imagine this: You are a normie slob, no experience, and you have to do 30 minutes of excessive cardio shit that is unrelated to combat sports, like jumping jacks and running in circles. Afterwards, you are too exhausted to focus 100% on the actual combat sport drills, for which you had joined the gym.

Warmups should just be enough that you can perform training safely. Mobilisation, few plyometrics, and then practice the moves from the previous lesson again. That's it.

I would either put the cardio trash at the end of the class, or do it as separate lessons during which you can focus 100% on cardio and nothing else.

An older brown belt, who would sometimes lead the class or do extra morning classes with me and other guys, would have us do warmups specific to whatever technique we were gonna drill. It felt great. Just enough work to be fired up (this helped a ton in the morning) and i would have an easier time moving the way in which I was suppose to move.

WHERE TO TRAIN MUAY THAI IN THAILAND

I’ve narrowed my choices to
1. Tiger Eye in BANGKOK

+ Veteran Owner and Competed in MMA.

+ Trains BJJ as well as Muay Thai.

- New, so no reviews.

- I’m not so sure I want to spend so long in the city, not a big city guy.
2. Lanna Muay Thai in CHIANG MAI

+ Across multiple discussions this places comes highly recommended

interesting thanks for the self reply
I'm struggling in blocking upper body and head myself but I don't spar often so that's probably why
I don't even know if you're supposed to hold your gloves slightly out of your face or be touching it with them when you block head punches
>>
>>221967
your hands need to stick to your face when you block. your gloves will help absorb the impact.
if you leave your hands slightly off your face your opponent's punch will make you punch yourself

Legit knuckles. Watche BK fights, shit drags on for ever & it's super bloody. Know why? Because the knuckles are actually pretty shitty for transferring force. Its a hard lump with multiple relatively uneven points of contact compared to the face.
>Powerslap
I know most people think its a joke but I love it for the physics demo it is. Why are so many dudes getting one shotted from slaps? Because the hand form molds to a persons face, transferring nearly all of the force. Palm strikes are like the difference between hitting with a glove or BK. BK hurts more but gloves or palms are gonna have a better chance of knocking you out.

Want to participate in one of the most ultimate extreme sports? Come Skydive.

Either do a tandem for ~S220 (Don't get video you will watch it once or twice and it costs $120+) or go through AFF and jump with your own gear every jump ($~3600 for the first 8 jumps or so) Most jumps are $60-70 after that if renting gear, or ~$30 if you have your own.

Any questions? Ask away I'm an insutructor
