She looks so tiny next to those guys though.

Well Roger ain't no puppy. I think he's something like 6'4".

Nice Storm, but what's up with the gray belts?

Nope, doubt it, I'm confused too.

They taught you the Heel Hook and Twister, but not the Achilles Lock, D'Acre Choke or Ninja Choke?

That's interesting, because those first two are pretty advanced [ie: not for ametures] submissions.

^Yours truly posing with Master Tony Alvarez. He's an [8th Dan!] Taekwondo instructor based in Colorado.

He's gonna be representing the USA in TKD next year at the London Olympics, so keep an eye out for him.

Congratulations on meeting Alvarez.

I stumbled across an interesting article. It's very short, so I don't want any TL: DR replies. uhuh

Interesting article about the "Anchor Punch" technique Ali used and how Anderson Silva has brought it into the MMA spotlight. It has short clips and animations of both fighters to help explain. The third embedded clip shows Silva and Ali back to back for a clear comparison.

I was going to post this in the MMA thread, but it's really a discussion of a particular technique. I reckon this thread better suits it.

I train at American Kickboxing Academy San Jose California

my Fighting style is Kickboxing Wrestling and Bit of BJJ

I train daily. Because I have an upcoming fight

I forgot to add a pic, This was before my dreads, but I was growing then out.

that kid under you looks scared as shit 😆

maybe its the roaring 😐

4 hour seminar by Robin Gracie. I hold him in high regard.

Would like to learn how to box soon! Wanted to learn Tae Kwon Do when I was younger

I would not recommend boxing. Boxing is great for distancing and timing and footwork, but so is karate, and the gloves are not very realistic to real world fighting. Boxing is probably most useful for its head movement, but overall I would not say it is best. In real life, and this is coming from a jiu-Jitsu trainer, grappling is not very effective. This is because when you lose distance with your opponent the number of crippling attacks they can use against you are maximised tenfold. True, some of these can be neutralised with positioning and such but if you get close to the enemy they can go for your eyes/mouth/bulls/throat, bite you, pinch you, get your hair, mess up your clothes, and close distance is better for powerful, less technical brawlers. In real life, striking is best. You maintain distance, and you use footwork to stay out of range. Karate is great at this as their kicks do not reduce your mobility as much as other martial arts, and are much quicker and os reduce chnce of leg grabs. Master your distancing and timing, and use your footwork to keep the distance that you want.

Of course for overall best you want to use multiple styles. Boxing is great for establishing the jab, but it would be best to train this without boxing gloves. It could be useful to prepare for worst case scenario as well, so if you want to concern yourself with grappling, traditional japanese jiu-jitsu and judo are great. and of course, if you land on the ground ands there is just one person, BJJ is key. And traditional Jiu-Jitsu and Ninjitsu teach you real crippling things to do against your opponent, if you have to, and come with very good weapon defence.

Tae Kwon Dp is not super effective.

This is where everyone should stop reading.

I pushed past that despite knowing better and stopped at: "grappling is not very effective". Fortunately it was only about three more sentences.

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

You have been nothing but a jerk since the moment I started posting in this forum.

That isn't the way your mother and I raised you.

Now please, explain why people should stop reading? if fact, rebutt the following:

1. Size of boxing gloves provide unrealistic simulations of contact and range of your punches that do not accurately reflect real world bare knuckle punches.

2. Boxing is one-dimensional and nowhere near as complete as other martial arts.
