/mag/ - Martial Arts General: Single Strike Edition

This guy is right. You're nervous.

However, being nervous and then doing something besides your training is because you haven't rehearsed it enough.

Break down your movements.
>Slips
>Punches
>Kicks

Start with the head movement and blocks.
Do them 1000 times.

No I am not kidding.
You need to train at home and practice each fucking movement over and over, yes it is boring.

It needs to be.
That way your body can do it correctly WITHOUT your conscious effort.

Next, you do your punches (if you're not shadow boxing already, you need to take this more seriously)

1000 fuckin times
Each one
Rehearsed.
Over and over.

Then you put them together with footwork.

Walk while you hit the bag.
Side to side.
Forward and back.

Turn to get off of ropes/walls ect.

Do this in headgear if you want to get used to the limited visibility and sound.

Do this each time you workout and your sparring will improve AS LONG AS...

>You stop freaking out about the moment
>Focus on what's happening, not what you're afraid of

>And just make your body, do what you trained

Watch what happens.

Notes: Do not zone out while you do this.
Do not focus on an image in your mind either.

Focus on what your eyes see.
Focus on your form in a mirror.
Or at least.
Actually move your body in perfect form, feeling how perfect form feels.

This isn't a jog.
It's practice.

Practice hard to be good.
Cause you gotta be fucking good to fight.

Could also be because he's subconsciously afraid of getting hit. No amount of home training will alleviate getting used to hits from an untrained opponents as much as constantly sparring does

I have found the "Wall Drill" does it as well.

Just put your back to the ropes / wall
and have your coach throw shots at you

At your head
At your body

Start at half speed and work up
You will get better
You will get less afraid BECAUSE you are better

BJJ gyms in my country are set to open again July 1st fuck yesss. I can finally roll again

Would picking up more martial arts practice help me with the topic of my thread? Right now I'm only doing taichi for movement practice and heavy bag boxing work for some HIIT conditioning

Mandatory Sumo post:

>Hakuhō Shō, born 11 March 1985 as Mönkhbatyn Davaajargal is a professional sumo wrestler (rikishi) from Ulaanbaatar, Mongolian People's Republic. Making his debut in March 2001, he reached the top makuuchi division in May 2004. In May 2007 at the age of 22 he became the second native of Mongolia, and the fourth non-Japanese overall, to be promoted to the highest rank in sumo, yokozuna.

In 2009, he broke the record for the most wins in a calendar year, winning 86 out of 90 bouts, and repeated this feat with the same record again in 2010 when he established the second longest winning streak in sumo history. He also holds the record for the most undefeated tournament championships at fifteen, which is seven more than any other sumo wrestler in history.

He was the only active yokozuna from 2010, following the retirement of his rival and fellow Mongolian Asashōryū, until 2012 with the promotion of fellow Mongolian Harumafuji. In January 2015, he broke Taihō's long-standing record by winning his 33rd top division championship, the most in the history of sumo. He holds the records for most wins in the top division, achieved in May 2016, and most career wins, achieved in July 2017. He is the longest-serving yokozuna of all-time, having surpassed Haguroyama's record in 2019. In the same year, he acquired Japanese citizenship.

If any webm bros could upload the parts where he throws opponent onto a ringside judge at around 3:30 and then where he knocks his opponent out with a slap and a shoulder check at 6:30 as well I'd greatly appreciate it.

>doing taichi for movement practice
You shouldn't be doing tai chi unless you've got severe mobility issues for whatever reasons. I mean it's not bad but I don't know what it's doing for you in terms of "movement practice".

Maybe check out Yoga? it's not a martial art but I wouldn't put Tai Chi at the top of any martial arts list either. if you're strapped for cash there's often plenty of free community based Yoga events and shit to go around and you can do it from home with just a mat some youtube videos and a full body mirror to check your pose

When I'm doing the taichi, I'm going fairly far into the movements to gain a better stretch. I know it's not strict mobility training if you're not a cripple, but the increased depth of the positions is intended to maintain fluidity in slower, unbalanced movements. I already have a mobility routine that I do on top of that, but I consider that another facet of better movement.

I've done yoga in the past, and while I think it's ok for the flexibility and some static work, the faux spirituality and some of the goals aren't what I'm fully looking for. Would it be more helpful to refine my goals for explanation?

It seems a lot of people don't like this panda fighter guy, I think he looks cool though. I just hate that it's in a crappy $60 game and then on top of that it costs like another $15 or whatever.

JUST BREATHE

So my BJJ gym is opening up next week, but in 3 weeks or so I will be going on vacation to visit my parents, and I will be gone for probably 6 weeks or so. I'm scared that the coach might think I'm unwilling to train or ungrateful or something. Also nervous of losing stripes or whatever.
Is this a real concern? Will it be OK if I tell my coach beforehand? He speaks almost no english though

Muay thai is the best striking art
Judo is best grappling

All it's moves originated from judo

Oh sweet these threads are here now? Why'd they leave /asp/?
Not that I don't prefer them being here, asp is full of wrestling other threads just die there.
