How many (and what) things have I failed to do if I get into a fight? If the only reason you're fighting is because you thought you could take the guy, your training has failed you. |

How can you practice wrist locks/grappling holds without a partner? Assuming you have trained against a resisting opponent prior, and know what it's like to do on a real person, then yeah, visualisation can certainly help. |

What can one do to avoid entering a grappling situation? If you don't wrestle, your sprawl won't be good enough. I also don't see how an uncommitted jab would deter anyone from clinching given that hard punches encourage boxers to clinch. |

How does a non-grappler train to be ready to avoid grappling in a real-world situation? I've also stopped fights with words. Anything is within the realm of possibility, but a persistent grappler won't be stopped without grappling, or a rare knocked out cold strike before a clinch can be established. I prefer not to rely on any assumed rules while I'm working, and my caution, awareness and control at various pre-fight and post-fight stages have served me well. |

How does a non-grappler train to be ready to avoid grappling in a real-world situation? You do need a knockout, and pain only works on wimps. I've been hit hard enough that I had fish legs, and I dropped to the ground. I still got the takedown and mount. Context makes a difference, sure, but not to the extent you believe. In general, training and fighting MMA with skilled opponents is far more challenging than fighting on the street. I work as a bouncer, no rules in the bar or on the sidewalk. It doesn't change, I always get the clinch, and it's always way easier. |

How does a non-grappler train to be ready to avoid grappling in a real-world situation? Unless you actually break the knee, just kicking at it won't do anything, and even if you do, it's got to be broken badly. I've finished a fight with a subluxed knee cap, using grappling, and it didn't impede my progress in the least. I've also taken eye gouges and throat strikes, and neither did anything. If you're too crappy at striking that you can't land a knockout, you're screwed, and if you're good enough, you're better just trying to go for the elusive one hit KO. |

How does a non-grappler train to be ready to avoid grappling in a real-world situation? That said, it is still good advice, just not for the stated purpose. Retracting your punches quickly is good for avoiding striking counter attacks. |

How does a non-grappler train to be ready to avoid grappling in a real-world situation? I'm always skeptical of claims like this, although thank you for your disclaimer. Have you tested it against an actual grappler, rather than someone trained in Blauer's system who happens to attempt to grapple? |

How does a non-grappler train to be ready to avoid grappling in a real-world situation? That isn't going to help, they're not going to try to grab your arms or legs, they're going to grab your body, and you can't keep your hips or shoulders retracted. |

How to get fit (again) for Judo Poorly done squats are bad for your knees, well done squats are good for your knees. I'd lean towards bodyweight squats being potentially worse because of the higher reps you need to do to get any results from them, so any effects of poor form are amplified. |

Is there any documentation of newaza in Fusen-Ryu? @stslavik can't say I've ever seen the kanji for it, I suppose you could go backwards and find out what the kanji for that school in question is |
