When all the greys are cast aside, when the punks stop talking and writing on their blogs, it comes to this...

You will kill, or die...or both.

  1. Aikido is the art I study. Your comments on Krav Maga (and Aikido and all other fighting arts) are spot on. Everybody gets bloody. Even training gets you hurt from time to time.

  2. Thanks ASM,

    What most folks who have never trained can't understand is that it takes many years of training to take a full-speed breakfall as Uke does in this clip.

    For those who don't train in Japanese arts: Uke is the guy getting clobbered and falling. Believe it or not, falling without hurting yourself is a defensive skillset. The average bar room brawler who gets clobbered and falls like that in the real world will probably break his skull, neck and/or shoulder, lose his wind, and generally be useless for the rest of the fight.

    When you are good, you can take a full-speed breakfall on concrete. Until then, go slow, and stay on the mats. ;)

    Welcome, ASM.

  3. I think I take a pretty good fall for an old man, but that's a tight irimi-nage and I'm glad I'm not that uke. Any of the kokyu-nages that result in uke's feet going up in the air like that are hard falls. The mats help, but they're not everything, those two are skilled and well matched. The usual result of someone being thrown like that in the street is getting knocked out when your head hits the pavement.
