Koral MKM gi size question (bordering two sizes)
Hi Bullies,
I've had a long time away from BJJ, and in the process of rehabbing an injury, I lost a significant amount of weight. The only one of my three gis that somewhat fits is an A2 size, 2009 vintage Koral Classic, that was a just-legal fit at 173cm (5'8") and about 92kg (203lbs). Now, at 74kg (163lbs), it is a little baggy around the armpits, the skirt goes down to mid-thigh as it should at the front and around the bottom of my butt at the back, and with arms parallel to the ground, the sleeves end right where my wrist meets the bottom of my hand, though I have to pull the sleeves taut as they bag and bunch up a little.
I am now considering buying a Koral MKM (new style), and I am right on the border of A1 and A2. The local Koral rep. recommended trying an A1 and returning it for an A2 if it doesn't fit, but I am curious to know if any of you have any other experiences/ideas. Is there any difference in the sizing of the older Classic gis vs the new MKMs? If an older Classic A2 is a touch baggy as described, will a new MKM A1 be too small?

Original yang thai chi chuan, pa qua and Hsing-I on the street/defence
Hello all.
I wanted to discuss the topic. Just how effective is the Original Yang Thai chi chuan, Pa Qua and Hsing-I combinations compared to say MT or BJJ or even boxing for that matter on the street or in a pure defense situation?
I haven't been training in this style for very long but before I actually commit years to it, I would actually like to hear from some guys who have been at a throw down or have had real life experience with these arts or something similar. Have you ever seen a traditional Kung fu fighter go toe to toe with with say an MMA fighter in real life? What about a street fight? Post your experience...
I understand MT may be the go to because of the effectiveness in dealing damage with less complexity as compared to many styles of Kung Fu I also understand the outcome of a fight usually comes down to the ability of the fighter, but let face it there's other factors too like speed, timing, complexity of the moves energy breathing etc..
This is totally from a street defense situation not style vs style, I personally like the idea of MT but would like to see what other experienced people have to say.
Any info appreciated as always.
Thanks Guys!!

A message to hippies
Ok so here's the thing I get that hippies want to save the planet and have a brighter tomorrow, but they really need a better game plan. You see NO ONE is going to have bugs for breakfast, NO ONE wants to drive a car that looks like an Easter egg, and finally NO ONE is ever going to think that this is sexy : Hippie hogs: Making solar bikes sexyhttp://www.greatbigstory.com/stories/sexy-eco-friendly-bikes/?xrs=CNNAPP
Even calling that fucking smug retarded thing a hog is just an insult. Seriously hippies if you really want to change the world you're going to need a way better approach than dorky **** like this.

"Biggest Loser" contestants metabolism adjusts dramatically downward; weight regained
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/02/he...loss.html?_r=0
According to this NY Times articles, many of the "Biggest Loser" contestants who had lost tremendous amounts of weight regained it back. Apparently, a big part of this was an incredible slowing of their metabolism. Studies showed that their caloric needs became temendously less than normal, which caused relatively small amounts of food to make them gain huge amounts of weight. For example, according to the article, Danny Cahill now burns 800 fewer calories per day than would be expected for someone of his size.
From the article:
It is frightening and amazing, said Dr. Hall, an expert on metabolism at the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, which is part of the National Institutes of Health. I am just blown away.
To me, this really shuts down the chorus over the years that if someone is fat they must be immoral, or something like that. The Biggest Loser contestants have put in a lot more work and discipline than most people into losing weight, and the study now demonstrates a quantitative metabolic disadvantage that has emerged towards keeping the weight off. Of course, I wish we knew what the solution was for people to be able to achieve and maintain a healthy weight.

Real talk, I woke up this morning to IBJJF harassment. At this point, I'm just issuing an open challenge. You on the IBJJF logs? You want beef? If you're down, I'll **** you up. If you kinda passive aggressive, on the fence, but still spitting IBJJF propoganda? Come see me as well. Let's finish this. This aint IBJJF rules though and I don't intend to fight ONE of you.

Can we trust video footage anymore?
So recently I posted a thread about a new hoverboard which seemed too good to be true:
http://www.bullshido.net/forums/showthread.php?t=125454
Most of us thought there is no way it could be real. Pretty sure we were wrong though given the information available at the time high skepticism was probably rational.
Anyway this got me thinking about epistemology in the modern world. Video editing and CG has got so cheap and easy that we can see two high quality videos of a scene from different angles and still think it was a hoax.
Mainstream media research is appalling, I've seen countless cases of them promoting scams, interviewing trolls and getting the most basic of facts wrong.
Good CG is now indistinguishable from the real thing cheap and easily. I've even seen videos posted of helicopter thermal vision in videogames which fooled most of the people in a Youtube comment section. At this rate in a few years there will probably be lots of video game footage passed as real.
How often does the news show faked footage (knowingly or unknowingly)?
Is it going to get to the stage where we never know what to believe unless we have 5 independent witnesses?
What implications does this have?

Glima (Viking wrestling)
Just found out about Glima today. It's a Viking wrestling system with an apparently unbroken lineage. The videos below are loose grip Glima, there's 3 other styles which I haven't looked in to yet.
They encourage BJJ practioners, wrestlers and judoka to participate in their tournaments so must be pretty confident in their skills.
The most unusual thing about it is how you win.
You win by taking your opponent to the ground and getting to your feet and away to a safe distance which is a really great skill for self defence.

Question on knee injury
Hey folks.
I blew my knee out pretty hard about 2 weeks ago now. I was grappling in wrestling shoes, in a stand up clinch situation, going for tai ogoshi I believe is the judo term. Guy stepped around my leg and tried to take me over from back side clinch, I tried to resquare up by turning in. ..everything but the left knee made the turn.
Cue a loud click in the side of my knee, which had sustained dislocation before, but this feels different. I've gotten some range of motion back, straightening the leg works again. But I am having trouble pushing with the leg, and motions mimicking butterfly guard are painful to just unusable due to stiffness in the joint.
Now to the question. .. am I screwed? Do I need to go to the doc? I usually just baby these things for a couple weeks and then ignore, but this feels a little different. Folks who have torn an acl or mcl, what does that feel like?
Basically, I'm trying to avoid spending money on a doc unless I'm seriously messed up and the knee won't heal itself. Maybe someone who has experience with the difference between a small pop in the knee and a torn tendon could make an educated guess?
Darn thing is still swollen after ice and heat for weeks. Then again, I'm a security supervisor and do a lot of walking, so maybe it's just the lack of rest on it?
Sorry for the long post. Old war stories about knee injuries and their rehabilitation are also more than welcome. For context, I'm 28, and just started training in a real way 3 months ago after being sedentary for 3 years following a herniated disk in the back and I have been hitting it as hard as my body will allow, which was about 9 to 15 hours a week of BJJ and striking training.

I am confused about nerve strikes and spit
I was talking with this girl I am fucking. She have 3 year of education in acupunture. She has this weird thing that she always press points on my body. I don't really care. Anyway.. I start talking about krav maga. I trained krav maga for 6 months like 10 years ago when I was in the military. I told her about how we learned to "knock people out" by hitting certain points on the neck and behind the ears etc. The general ide of these strikes is to "overload" the nerve system so that it goes into shock and turns the victime unconcious. Hard to explain this since my English is not top notch.
She told me straight out that most of what I said was false. For example if I hit somebody of the side of the neck it might knock people unconcious because it disrupt the blood circulation to the brain Not because it overloads the nervesystem. She is usually right about everything that has to do with the body.. and it is 10 years since I trained krav maga. I can't remember that I have knocked people out using these techniques but alot of my doormen friends talk about these techniques and say that they have used them succesfully. I am a bartender btw. fights happen but I usually sovle it in a smart way. Usually with words.
My English is really shitty so I will try to make it short by asking a few question. It would be super nice if somebody with better knowledge than me could help me out.
1) can a strike to the side of the neck or to the back of the head knock a person unconcious even though the strike is not super hard?
2) Let's say I hit somebody on the side of the neck with a "knife hand" (term from tae kwon do) If it knocks somebody out is it because it does something to the nerves in the side of the neck or is it because it does something to the blood flow to the brain? I put the knife hand technique there to make it easy to understand what kind of strike I am talking about. Also.. other martial arts have the same strike with a "knife hand" to the side of the neck so hopefully there should be some "merrit" to the claim.

7 Things your Training partners hate

I don't agree with the Heel Hooks thing well I do the whole cranking away thing but that could literally be said for any other sub as well.
I would also add to the list:
Partners that don't ever try anything new.
Partners that don't work on the lesson of the day even when given plenty of opportunity.
Partners that treat every roll like its life and death.
Partners that never roll hard.
Partners that don't understand that rolling is for learning.

Benefits of tsuba or other small sword guards?
To me small or non existant guards on swords simply seem like a poor design choice.
I've tried to find possible benefits online but non of the explanations seem adequate even taken in conjunction.
I've been told that nothing larger was necessary but when I used to do backyard Kendo I found larger home made tsubas resulted in being hit in the hands less often.
I've heard larger guards restrict movement but I never found them restrictive and from watching experienced users using these swords I can't see any techniques where larger guards would be an issue either.
It may be slightly quicker to half sword as you don't have to open your hand as far to get in position but this was more common with Europeans who had much larger guards.
It makes the swords a couple of ounces lighter but saving that weight so near the hilt wouldn't give you a noticeable speed boost.
To me it just seems objectively better to have a sensible sized guard so what possible reason would someone have to design a swords like that and how did they become so widespread?
Am I missing something?

John Danaher Leg-Lock System Drama
It's been an interesting several weeks. Basically the summary of the story is Island Top Team conducted a seminar, filmed it and posted it online of material from a private lesson with Eddie Cummings. Garry then posted on Facebook:
Which cause the video to be taken down and then re-uploaded a few weeks later:
Not going to link here
I watched the videos, there is definitely some very interest tidbits. I played with some of it last night, with the leg locks systems from Hall, Bodycomb and others I've learned and have used successfully. A couple of things:
1. This isn't Danaher's system, its just some basic information on Ashi Gurami and some basics of how to finish the Heel Hook. The concept of Knee control has been something I've seen and even taught for years. I picked some some details I thought were interesting though.
2. Finishing the Heel Hook, I saw some stuff I really liked, that he didn't actually explain on how to force the bend in the leg but he did it each time. I been experimenting with a few methods, but I tried the one I saw in the videos last night from the Inside Sankaku, Ashi Gurami, Reap and 50/50 that was working really well. The concept and capturing the toes I have been taught since white belt.
3. Some of the trouble shooting the Double Outside Ashi position was interesting using the concept of framing.
4. The hardest part of of Leg Lock systems is the entry into the positions, which aren't even touched in these video. Calling them Danaher's system wasn't accurate. More accurate would be, "some Leg Lock Finishing Details I picked up from training with Danaher's students"
I know a lot of people that train under Danaher have said he has a some of the details wrong of stuff he is teaching, and I can see that as I filled in a lot of holes from my personal knowledge and training, but they were interesting none the less.
I been out of the country for the last few years, but I am looking forward to doing a Cummings seminar after I return to the US this year.

1. This isn't Danaher's system, its just some basic information on Ashi Gurami and some basics of how to finish the Heel Hook. The concept of Knee control has been something I've seen and even taught for years. I picked some some details I thought were interesting though.
2. Finishing the Heel Hook, I saw some stuff I really liked, that he didn't actually explain on how to force the bend in the leg but he did it each time. I been experimenting with a few methods, but I tried the one I saw in the videos last night from the Inside Sankaku, Ashi Gurami, Reap and 50/50 that was working really well. The concept and capturing the toes I have been taught since white belt.
3. Some of the trouble shooting the Double Outside Ashi position was interesting using the concept of framing.
4. The hardest part of of Leg Lock systems is the entry into the positions, which aren't even touched in these video. Calling them Danaher's system wasn't accurate. More accurate would be, "some Leg Lock Finishing Details I picked up from training with Danaher's students"
I know a lot of people that train under Danaher have said he has a some of the details wrong of stuff he is teaching, and I can see that as I filled in a lot of holes from my personal knowledge and training, but they were interesting none the less.
I been out of the country for the last few years, but I am looking forward to doing a Cummings seminar after I return to the US this year.
