Russian systema and other less popular martial arts.

Billdolfski · 11-30-2005, 06:12 PM

I had the honor of training with a Russian friend who lives in the same town as my cousin, where I often visit. Since takedowns are my weakest area, we worked takedowns, standing takedowns and some throws.

I was very impressed with the uniqueness and effectiveness of what he showed me. I believe the throw was some form of Aikido though.

He also brought a friend with him who was trained mostly in Chinese Stand up. He had some sick pressure points that messed up my clinchwork in a heartbeat.

I'm not some great fighter or anything, but I would suggest to everyone to study all types of martial arts as there seems to some effective technique and principals in all of them.

Just a thought. Any input would be welcome.

Preasure point aren't alowd in MMA. I believe that would be considered fish hooking. Sounds cool though, I like learning not so popular martial arts. Just because they're not popular, doesn't mean they're not effective.

Cool story.

I didn't know if they were legal or not. I just know it's one hell of a way to break a muay thai clinch. Put me on me knees.

Who cares about the MMA sport, imagine using these in a fight! Even a trained fighter can't defend against them if you can utilize them in a fight!

Well considering this is a MMA forum, I figured that he ment MMA. But yeah, pressure points work really really good in a street situatuion.

Yeah, I see your point. But it's all about learning to fight to me, it just so happens that in a sanctioned event, some things aren't allowed. I fight more on the street where there are no rules, so maybe I look at things from a different angle.

What's your point?

lwbfl · 12-04-2005, 11:20 AM

My point is that I appreciate you ponting out that I made a valid point, then I pointed out that you had a valid point and both our points and the appreciation thereof have been validated and appreciated.

[Danny] · 12-06-2005, 12:04 AM

Damn, that's a lot of good points.

lwbfl · 12-15-2005, 08:21 AM

Not really, alot of silly-ness actually.

Unknown · 12-15-2005, 11:05 AM

I don't get the point.

lwbfl · 12-15-2005, 01:17 PM

Maybe later on, I'll point out the point to you.
