Are there any solo grappling drills?
like for when you don't have anyone around to work with, there any moves or anything at all you can drill solo?
Are there any solo grappling drills?
You can practice "shrimping" where you start out on your back and then quickly curl to a fetal position and into a superior position. It is a good drill to build speed in grappling.
Reply:Sure. There is a great crunch/choke drill that I know of. Do you know circle cruches AKA grappling crunches, where you put your hands behind your head, lock your ankles, and pivot your midsection?
Well, now instead of keeping your ankles locked, have them locked, do the crunch, unlock them and lock into a triangle choke. So it wil be crunch, choke. Crunch, choke.
Reply:yeah... it's called KATA.
Reply:First off it isn't Kata, which are useless by the way.
If you want to practice solo drills of grappling moves you can, they wont really give you a great feel for the move, but if you know the move and are just working your side of the action I guess it's better than nothing. Just do the move as if your doing it on someone. It'll work with just about any move, I'd guess. I don't think that it is better than working with someone but not everyone has someone to work with. Focus on imagination, place an opponent in the mix with you and the execute. Don't start creating some massive "kata", as a training tool for real use they have none. (of course that is my view) To make "kata" of grappling moves, in my view, is taking away and belittling them as an effect and real combat tool. There is a great diff. from creating a series of moves on pretend opponents (kata) and working on a grappling or any move and doing it solo. Maybe to some it is the same thing but a kata is a set pre-arranged set of moves as solo training is not doing a kata.

Should MMA or submission grappling like Abu Dabi be Olympic sports?
I would be for that. The problem is why would you want to get knocked out for a dumb medal? MMA gets pretty violent, I don't see how they would want to risk injury just for nationalism, but I could be wrong. I'm for amateur fighters in the Olympics if any. That would be great seeing a American vs Brazilian in a final or Japan Vs. Russia, that would be cool.
Should MMA or submission grappling like Abu Dabi be Olympic sports?
sure, why not? other than the olympics are starting to get mighty lengthy
Reply:Yea, They can put it in place of Grecco Roman Wrestling. Who really does that?
Reply:I would like it to be but I think it cant be because MMA is still evolving. I think that when you have a mixed art its harder to judge
or to prepare for. when it reaches its apex and they have incorporated all that they can I would say yes... please do.

I want to learn grappling and striking in martial arts, and also weapons. what should I take?
I'm thinking about taking judo and kung fu or karate or even hapkido.
I want to learn grappling and striking in martial arts, and also weapons. what should I take?
I've taken Tae Kwon Do and Hap Ki Do. Hap Ki Do has a lot of grappling/wrestling/bring the other guy down move typa things. I don't know about judo or kung fu but taekwondo was more kicking/punching/form, we did do board breaking though and weapons but barely if any grappling. Hapkido does weapons too, and striking but yeah a lot more focus on grappling techniques. Oh and be prepared to wait a while to start learning how to use weapons. Most places won't teach you weapons until you're a higher level, they won't let you at the beginning, usually around green belt is when they'll let you.
So I'd say hapkido, it has all the things you're looking for, grappling, striking, and weapons.

for grappling, judo Japanese ju jitsu, aikido, wrestling would be good

for weapons training, you can practice wu-shu, or preferably escirma
Reply:Judo is mainly grappling and no weapons.
Karate normally is just striking and weapons.
Kung fu Chinese version of karate with weapons. There are many forms under the umbrella of kung fu some may include some grappling.
Hapkido mostly grappling with some strikes
Jujitsu (Japanese) strikes, grappling, and weapons.
Shorin ryu ( Okinawan style karate) strikes, take downs, and weapons.
Reply:Krav maga
Reply:I'd think --out of those three martial arts-- that Hapkido would be your best bet, since you'd get experience in striking and some grappling.
One of my Taekwondo instructors taught us some Hapkido...it didn't take us long (even those in the class who were 100% new to martial arts) to learn how to use some of those joint-locks.
And I love how only a few techniques can be used to defend against attacks --unlike how some other martial arts are taught (I'd rather learn one escape for different types of holds, than many types of escapes for one hold. )
I also think Hapkido has some weapons (and pratical ones, too, like the cane/walking stick) .
Although, some styles of karate have a good mix of striking/grappling/weapons...it depends on the style and dojo you go to.
Still, I'd advise trying out Hapkido first...then when you've got good experience in that, you can get more into grappling in judo or go into kung-fu or karate to get some weapons training (although you probably won't train with weapons in any of those styles for awhile)

Martial Arts Help?
Im thinking of doing a martial arts....I was thinking kung fu but there are so many different kinds...or maybe judo but thats more of grappling?
Whats a versatile martial arts? that uses everything and not just kicking like taekwondo mostly does
Martial Arts Help?
freestyle karate.or any karate and cross train in ground/grappling.i would suggest though that you do karate and crosstrain in muay thai and then do ground/grappling down the track a bit.
Reply:I did Muay Thai for awhile, and that incorporates different elements. Capoeira is also a fun one, as it uses both martial arts and gymnastics.
Reply:In new zealand they have a few fight schools where they teach UFC
type fighting which cover all areas of unarmed combat.
Maybe they have something like that in your country.

I suggest learn something else as well if you want to know how to fight with weapons tho.
Reply:Hello,
I rank in TKD, Kung Fu and a number of arts. You want something that you can use in real life situations, keep in shape and keep you learning for the rest of your life without getting bored. Try Ryu Kyu Kempo or Torite Jutsu. Go to www.dillman.com and look for an affiliated school in your area. If none go to www.dragonsociety.com and look for one of their affiliated schools. They teach Real Karate including Kyusho, Tuite, Pressure Point knockouts. It changed the way I have done martial arts for the rest of my life. Do Dillman first.
I hope this helps.

Reply:I love Kung Fu, and have been doing it for 2 years. Also, check out Aikedo....
Reply:Sorry but someone has been telling you wrong about Tae Kwon Do.......It is the most versatile (my opinion) of all the martial arts, it was formed from various techniques of the major styles (Judo, Karate, Kung Fu, Kempo, Akido...just to name a few). The Tae Kwon Do I learned, there was not all that much kicking, mostly hand strikes, blocking, many differ wrist and arm bars......much about keeping your opponent off balance and/or disabling them. I submit to you that if someone has given you this info on TKD......you need to speak with someone else.

Reply:I have been a martial artist for 9 years. I have 16 world championship titles and I absolutely love martial arts!!!!!

It is great fitness as well as mental stimulation. Also....you get to work with weapons. Sparring, katas and weapons! Perfect blend! Tons of fun! Good luck!
Reply:Jeet Kune Do, if and only if you find a good instructor. Krav Maga, and probably my favorite pick straight up MMA(mixed martial arts) from a reputable school with proven fighters.
Reply:I take tang soo do...which is considered traditonal tae kwon do. Always peep out the classes first.... If you can find a "traditional tae kwon do" course....you are almost learnign the same thing i learn.
Tae kwon do is normaly competative.....and that can have its benefits too....same time...its downfalls.
In earlier ranks...you wont get a complete well rounded style ....in any style. If you can find an MMA school.....its non traditional by anymeans, but will teach you a little bit of everything.
I perosnally like tang soo do because its primarily striking....offense and defense which i like. Teaches some grappling. Actaully.....being in a striking art.....my strongest technique is a grapple.
Also they focus on staff as a weapon.... They teach others....but a staff is everything from a tree branch to a broom stick or a pool cue........its a very everyday weapon.
What made my classes really good was that oen of my instructors that is a master now.......had a lto of street fighting experience.. He could transfer what we learn in class to a street fighting perspective.... Normally thereare no hook or uppercuts in a martial art......he made us do those in sparring.

Thinking about starting a new martial art?
After learning different martial arts techniques (I explained my styles in Randy S' question), and it being one of my biggest hobbies, aswell as having a few friends that know Tang Soo Do, Tae Kwan Do, and a few others; I think we should merge some kicks, punches, blocks, and even create new, more modern moves that fit into today's fighting. I have no idea what to call it though. It would also be nice to be the father of a new martial art. I am wondering what would be good names for it, and what the most powerful techniques are in your styles, so that we may include them. I already know variations of the following moves will make it into the new martial art:
-Crescent Kick
-Axe Kick
-Front Kick
-Side Thrust Kick
-Spin Hook Kick
-Round Kick
-Round House Kick
-Standard Punches (Jab, Body Punch, Head Punch, etc.)
-Silat Grappling Techniques
-Flying kicks (F. Front K., F. Side Thrust K., etc.)
-Westernized boxing techniques, wrestling, etc.
Suggestions for more moves?
Thinking about starting a new martial art?
why not train in one martial art like karate or hapkido and learning all that it has to offer then open up a dojo/ dojang/ gym in that style you could still teach but it would have a higher probability of sucess as a school rather than a new style
or u can open a MMA gym and not name what u do just practice what ever u think would work
just some ideas
as far as technique goes id say when u do have classes split them into 2 or three different classes one class as striking one as grappling and one as weapons i would do this because i have noticed with schools that have all three combined they cant teach all that they have to in the space of the lesson i used to do hap ki do an the lessons went for 2 and a half hours and we still didnt cover all aspects of it
again they are just suggestions from a guy who is probably a keyboard warrior

Reply:The only way you can create a new martial art is to not use any of the techniques you list .All you are doing is rearranging old techniques.
Whether it's MMA or BJJ or karate there is nothing you can do that hasn't been done already.
BJJ is considered a new modern martial art but if you look at the date it was created according to the GRACIES it is older by a few years than GOJU RYU a so called traditional martial art.
In short you can not create a new martial art you can eliminate or add on but you have to use what came before .
Unless you can come up with kicks and punches and throws that no one has ever done before.
Even BRUCE LEE didn't create a new art he just eliminated a lot of stuff that[ in his eyes] was unnecessary and applied a different approach but his technique was already known.
In the end you end up becoming one of those "founder" self promoted "masters" everyone thinks is a joke and makes martial look sillier than it already is in some peoples eyes.
Reply:I was once told long ago all martial arts system have their similarities they just come packaged differently. The human body can do some amazing things but for the most part in martial arts it’s been done and documented by those who paved the way ahead of us.
Rearranging moves from one style to another is not a new style but a new approach to teaching these styles would be revolutionary. Just something to think about.
