What is the best bo staff for an 8-year-old for competitions? We're just going to have to disagree on that. Cheers. |

How effective are foul techniques as a side control escape? Related: "if you cannot fight "clean" you have no business fighting "dirty"" from MAP |

Stretches for kicking? If it happened during teeps, maybe your hip flexor was tired, and it wasn't about flexibility. If it was during round kicks, then it was almost certainly a lack of sideways flexibility. If it's just a stretchy problem and not pain, then keep training for a few months and see what happens. To get more answers here, you'll need to edit the question to include a lot more detail about the location of the pain, type of kicks, and background on previous training and flexibility benchmarks. |

Stretches for kicking? Also, which kicks? Teep, round? |

Who was the first female judoka? Doctor Liepmann? That's my father! :) |

What is a “heavy jab”? A stretch reflex can be used in some punching techniques to add power, much like a wind-up. So yes, while neither of us was taking this class and I have no idea what he was trying to teach, backwards movement isn't bonkers in 100% of situations. Have you worked with this instructor? Does he have a fight record? Have you ever taken a muay thai class with him or someone else? Did you ask whether that movement was exaggerated for effect? |

What is shen energy? Is there such a thing as a “shen state” and if so, how does it come about? This question is still extremely vague and based on references to a video game and an adolescent cartoon. |

Which disciplines involve smacking away opponents' strikes? My suspicion is that Bruce Lee most likely studied parries in wing chun, boxing, and karate (in order of his interest), and I don't believe any of those arts got their parries from weapons work. |

What is a “heavy jab”? Perhaps this was a pedagogical trick to emphasize movement in the shoulder during regular jabs, and not a separate kind of punch in itself? |

How effective are foul techniques as a side control escape? My question was originally triggered by surprise (in another question) about how many people seem to think biting and so on work as some automatic, easy escape, or elicit a predictable and desirable response. Your answer addresses these points well. I wouldn't say that legal and illegal moves require "equal" training, but that's quibbling. |

How effective are foul techniques as a side control escape? @Trevoke I upvoted it, and currently it's the best, but I wanted to sustain the suspense so more people would answer :D |

How effective are foul techniques as a side control escape? @Trevoke I thought it was clear that because we're talking about explicitly tournament-illegal techniques, we're therefore talking about the utility of these techniques outside of competition. |

How effective are foul techniques as a side control escape? I'm really looking for answers that specifically address foul techniques in comparison to other escape techniques. Could you speak more to that, instead of generally about biting? Also, are you worried at all about potentially escalating the fight while in a disadvantageous position? We are not assuming that the attacker is already maximally violent while on top. |

How effective are foul techniques as a side control escape? Regardless of the law, this answer does not address the question: how do these techniques compare to other escape techniques? The only part that's relevant to that question is the fact that it bears a risk of disease. |

Is martial arts training 'inadequate' for the real world? @Lex, why do you think that as the person on the bottom, you'd have an advantage in biting a BJJ practitioner? Is there a reason he would be unable to bite you beyond "sport sport sportists never think of such things"? And how do you you think someone on top of side control would respond to being bitten--by being nicer to you, or with strikes or a choke? Have you ever tried, say, purple nurpling an unfriendly BJJ brown belt while rolling to see whether it would result in a reduction in the beat-down you were already receiving? |

Is martial arts training 'inadequate' for the real world? I downvoted because I've learned de-escalation and violence detection and modern etiquette (not reiho) in karate, my judo dojo is decidedly not militaristic, I've learned self-defense in every art I've trained, and I don't understand #6. He also admits that knowing how to fight helps the odds. He is also perpetuating this tired "martial arts is a sporty sport that can't be used to defend yourself because it's so sporty that you'll only use sport techniques" myth. He also perpetuates this strange (but common) fear of the mostly mythic hyper-predator. |
