Re: Thai Bag Set-up
quote Don:That’s pretty cool CV! Hope it lasts for you!Thanks Don. Been hitting on it for a.couple months now and been pretty good. Shrink wrap has settled a bit and I think it’s about time to add a bit more. The 1/2 basket ball is new and stemmed from not wanting to punch air during Bas Rutten work outs but I really like it for just plain hitting as it makes me focus more.on the “targer” while striking.
Re: Weak kicking technique
Hip drive is really import in all kicks. Hip drive can be limited by strength, flexibility and usually both. Lack of coordination can be helped with repetition but with strength as well. Squats (unloaded or “air” squats) really help to activate your hips and build strength and flexibility when done properly.
Re: Overhead Stick Defense Explained.
I think this is actually a pretty good demo by Tim (who used to post here) some over hand strikes but the second series you can see the difficulty in repeated underhad strikes, and like Don said, from different angles.

Re: Looking for a Missouri Instructor
I understand that Fenton may not be an option for regular training but they are a good school and have good seminars from time to time. I live in Kansas City and drove the 4 hours to Fenton for a gun seminar with Sam Sade. It was a very good seminar.
Re: I want to get bigger
quote unstpabl1:Listen to Jeff..same reasoning as I had on pointing you to either Starting Stregth or Stronglifts…only he’s much smarter than meIf Gardawg had his brain eaten by zombies, he’d still know more about fitness than 99% of the population. If one actually listens and follows his advice as described, it’s hard to go wrong. Time, effort and pacience will pay off.
Re: Video explanaition of Ground survival vs Jiu Jitsu
Nice Donivan, thanks for the video very good points.
Re: David Kahn "Mastering Krav Maga" series
I think it’s important to note that when one is at this level of skill, there is not a set dogma for stance, movement etc. Khan is a very dynamic practitioner, as well as most of the top level dudes from all associations.
Krav Maga, while having certain tenets and core concepts is, at heart much about conservation of movement and simplicity. To see a top level practitioner regardless of affiliation, deviate from some minor form in syllabus, is expected and should be expoounded and encouraged after the core movements are worked to death and beyond. I’m pretty sure Darren, John, Eyal, David, Itay et al. Have earned the the right to improvise for fluidity of motion.
I also agree with Plantman that going to the ground, in Krav Maga presences, is a secondary option. I too have seen Khan shift some emphasis to takedowns to the ground and Wonder if it’s just not a sign of the times. Why take yourself (with your opponent) to the ground if you don’t have to?

Re: Arm swing during round kick
I like Geoff Thompson example in this video. Starts at about .55 seconds.
More geared towards self defense. Not going to get any style points from martial artists but it’s quick.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PT0PFCzQaI0&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Re: "Relax, you’re very stiff…"
You may also want to work on your mobility. Kelly Starett of Crossfit Sanfrancisco has a daily stretch/exercise that has helped a lot of athletes.
