Re: Krav Maga on Ellen.
That was great!
How come they didn’t go over headlock?
For the SO folks: I’d love to see a class with Ellen but I would imagine one where Mike is one of the instructors would be a riot.
Re: Alternative Weapons
Here is something that should have fewer negative responses if you have to defend yourself against people’s perception (including officers and jury members) should you have to defend yourself:
It’s a self-defense flashlight. Bright light for range and rough serrated type teeth around the rim and tailcap.

Sorry to hear about your experiance. So was the Lawn guy involved voluntarily? Were you able to identify the other guy or is there a concern of retribution?
Re: Got my first Krav injury last night
quote La Revancha:…Then I reaggravated a broken toe for the second time in three weeks on Friday. It’s pointing in the wrong direction.I didn’t realize that BJJ has a toe bar, or is it Judo? 😉
I strained my knee again this last Sat. Favoring it is now causing my other knee to ache. I guess it’s telling me to take it easy. I would suggest the same to others with Injuries. What really bums me out is that I will be out of town for two weeks, so it will be a total of three weeks of no training.
La Revancha, how do you get your shoes on?
Re: Real Life Gun Scenario – help!!
quote Liquid Rockface:Re the zig zag, that would only really work against somebody with a good aim surely. Because let’s say that a person with a bad aim is going to shoot in a general area around where you are. If you are zig zagging and he has a bad aim, he might actually be MORE likely to be hit because you have moved off into his “miss” area. That is my idea anyway. I don’t actually have any idea on the shooting skills of these guys. I think one can safely assume that they practise and have a good aim.I think the idea is that if you allow them to take their time aiming as you run away in a straight line, then they are more likely to actually hit. Especially if they can see how far off they are. But if you make them keep moving their aim, then they always have to start aiming from scratch.

I didn’t see your post til now… You been repped!Thank you! And it’s good to have confirmation on my contributions. Your suggestion of walking against traffic is a great one.
Re: Real Life Gun Scenario – help!!
quote Liquid Rockface:…So that’s not my idea of fun, I’d rather get shot running away than get kidnapped. But my question is, how can you tell if they’ll kidnap you, when do you decide enough is enough you will run, and how can you possibly run fast enough and effectively enough that they have the minimum chance to shoot you?…Wow, I can’t really say I have much experience with any of this btu I’ve heard that you’re supposed to run in a zig-zag pattern from somebody trying to aim at you.
That being said, give them what your carrying, and most importantly don’t carry too much or look like a target (e.g. dress down?).
Re: Neck Cranks
quote CJs Dad:Ahh the double guillotine take down ñ fun stuff. Especially since Chris Cook is 6í9î 300+lbs. I love multiple attacker drills.
I kinda felt bad cause they both face planted pretty hard but there was no way for me to control the takedown.LeeJam had us doing a great multi-attacker drill yesterday from a scenario that he picked up from somebody who actually experienced it that he met recently.
Anyhow, imagine my surprise when he put me in a bear hug and lifted me off the ground for me to do the defense. (one attacker was in front of me, the other attacker was to whaling on my head)
I don’t think you have to worry about that day you took them down, Chris was up and ready to give others hell, and if I remember right, he stepped up and volunteered to be the man in the middle 🙂
Re: Neck Cranks
quote leejam99:ugg… i hate neck cranks. nothing like not being able to turn your head after a good neck crank. Its a big pain in your normal life when you have to turn your entire body to look to any direction than straight!Did that tube of rub help at all that night a couple months back when you were too sore to fully demo the moves? It’s helped me after taking the Thu L1, L2, L1 back-to-back combo.
Re: Neck Cranks
quote CJs Dad:Ohh I don’t know, I’d take that bet. In fact if La Rev seeís this post he can attest to how often I get people in that situation in multiple attacker drills. I feel very comfortable using free standing neck cranks as head control to stack people.
Free standing guillotines and figure fours are my friend. ñ but then again Iím not normal.I want to vouch for this one. I watched CJ’s Dad use two attackers heads as fall-breaks simultaneously when they tried to take him down [Hi-five on that one]. He sat there and kept them from swinging at him while he was on the floor for a decent count.
Re: Glucosamine Pain Management
quote desert strom:I’m not a real doctor but I play one at work…we have stethoscopes and everything. (I am a veterinarian.) So I will give you the current thinking on glucosamine from the animal side. (Much of which translates over to us human animals.)Glucosamine and products like it are designed to replace or help in the production of PSGAGs. (polysulfated glycose amino glycans) These are some of the building blocks of joint cartilage. Joint cartilage damage sets off a cascade of events within the joint itself. The main enemy is inflammation. Long term inflammatory changes will cause erosive joint cartilage damage and set up a vicous cycle of continued inflammation and joint breakdown. The aim is to stop the inflammatory process and allow for joint repair. This is where glucasamine comes into play. The idea is to provide the poorly vascularized joint cartilage with the products necessary to preserve or possibly reconstruct the basic building blocks of healthy, smooth joint surfaces. Studies have shown that glucosamine sulfate is much more effective than glucosamine hydrochloride at doing this. Sulfated glucosamine is less stable, harder to produce and usually more expensive. Read labels carefully.
The best results in animals and humans have been with a multi-modal approach. Control inflammation with NSAIDs, volatile fatty acid supplements (fish oils and such – mostly Omega 6) and supplement with products like glucosamine. As fair as soft tissue pain relief? Don’t think there is much. Although a couple studies have shown an unknown mechanism of anti-inflammatory action with long term use at high doses. Best thing though…no long term toxicity problems known as of now.
Well, hope this helps. Perhaps more than you ever cared to know but its my area and I get pretty interested in these things.
Thanks for the post. I started using glucosamine, and I found it made a significant difference in my knee joints. This is by far the best price I’ve found for it:
and I believe it qualifies as glucosamine sulfate as opposed to glucosamine hydrochloride.
Re: Hitting women
quote kpalena:If you have any level of control…you can go full out and not hurt people. I can understand the confusion. I am obviously not going to rip a small person to the ground so that they can learn a headlock from the side defense…but I am also not going to make it easy. There is obviously a common sense factor here…. I will push a training partner to the level they are ready for….I expect them to do the same for me. A relitavely new practioner, I will take it easy on. Someone who I have been training with since the beginning, we are going to be much tougher on each other. As it relates to the OP..if that person is a female, I am going to push her as hard as necessary for her to get better. Since I already stated that in my experiance, women fight different, they make me better as well.
I specifically said that I do let up on the kicks. My last line specifically says that “I go hard enough to make the training revelant, but soft enough to not hurt people.” Still need clarification? 🙂The goal here, obviously is to push each other as hard as possible without:
1) causing injury
2) breaking spirit
3) making enemiesRemember what we are training for….
I’m 6’4″ 325# and most people are small compared to me. I was doing knife from overhead drills with somebody, and like usual I was helping them learn the technique. When he started to feel comfortable he asked me to resist as much as possible. I would guess he was about 140#. As he lept to try to push my arm back from about shoulder distance with his body he found that he couldn’t move it. Even if attacked really early such that my arm wasn’t perpendicular to the floor.
I also remember being paired up with a very fit and very skilled woman probably 110#s. We were doing choke from on top. I let her do it to learn the technique but I gradually started to add resistance until she couldn’t. I explained just to beat on me and I’d give in (trying to make it realistic) And I could see her aggression and gave in when I think the pain would be too much to keep her down.
I guess the point of what I’m trying to make that a “4) help them learn the technique” is really important. I like your other points so I hope you don’t mind my contribution 🙂
