comment How easy or hard is it for a combat sport champion to defeat a much stronger man?
@DaveLiepmann I read the discussion on meta, but that discussion was about "this is my situation, what is good for me". This question looks like a hypothetical question to me, so as such I don't think it is on topic.

This looks a lot like a "Would martial artist A beat martial artist B" question which is considered off-topic according to our FAQ

comment Attacked by black belt
I'm not sure if people who do Tai-jutsu have a license that can be revoked. I think it's best to report it to the police and let them sort it out.

comment What are the most effective exercises (hojo undō or otherwise) for martial arts?
Thank you for the book recommendation! I don't think Dave Liepmann is questioning the 'exercises to improve motions or actions' part of the traditional hojo undō definition. It's the 'before 1950s' part he disagrees with (and I with him).

comment What is shen energy? Is there such a thing as a “shen state” and if so, how does it come about?
@RonKyle Perhaps you would like to rephrase the question to something like this: "I've heard about something called Shen state in martial arts. What exactly is it? Is it similar to a limit break?"

I didn't downvote, but I don't see how you are answering the question. The OP is asking about Shen, but you didn't even mention the word once in your answer.

comment What martial art should I start with?
Welcome to Matial arts! The OP is asking for a good martial art for fitness with relevancy to MMA. He is not asking how to become an allround fighter.

comment Are there legal ramifications to being a trained martial artist?
Welcome to Martial Arts. I understand your position, but I don't think you are answering the question. What are the legal consequences of your actions as a trained martial artist?

Thank you this interesting explanation. What I'm really interested in is excersises that people have done themselves that made a big difference to their martial art practice.

Welcome to martial arts! Since th OP asked for a 'well researched way', do you have any (scientific) references to backup your answer?

comment What are the most effective exercises (hojo undō or otherwise) for martial arts?
Thank you for sharing your experience. I share your opinion on hojo undō and agree that modern training techniques are also part of hojo undō

comment Is weight training useful in martial arts?
@Imbrondir Sprinters train with heavy weights to become stronger and more powerful. But this is not the same as speed. To improve speed, sprinters do plyometric excersises with light weights.

comment Is Static Stretching Before Practice Beneficial, Harmful, or Something In-between?
@Dave Looking at your definition I agree that normally dynamic stretches are not dangerous at all. But if you have sore/stiff muscles, didn't warm-up properly, or your activity involves movements that you don't do in daily life then dynamic stretching could cause you to overstretch (sadly, that last one I know from personal experience).
