Re: Protein Drinks/Bars
i am using MRM whey protein. i blend it with soy milk so it doesn’t have lactose. i also put some frozen banana slices for flavor and potassium and some ice cubes for texture. MRM blends quite easily and doesn’t taste bad. no gritty nastiness.

this is probably one of the biggest ones around. a lot of fighters and instructors are members.

Re: Hwa Rang Do "diss" on KM
That is a weird advertisement. I browsed the website further and noticed that they compare Hwa Rang Do to a bunch of other martial arts as well, not just Krav. here’s what they write about BJJ:
“Ask yourself this… In a Fight, Do You Really Want to Go to the Ground, Scrape Your Elbows & Mess Up Your Clothes?
What If You Have to Face Multiple Attackers?”Haha, i like the part about messing up your clothes.
I actually live close to the West LA school. My buddy attended for about a year. He said the instructors were cool, but the stuff he was learning wasn’t anything mind blowing. Lots of kicking like Tae Kwon Do. They do teach ground techniques, but they don’t practice submissions during sparring, just positioning. After he got a few belts be quit because he didn’t want to start learning jump kicks. He said he was too old for that.
Re: I’m preparing to riot – how ’bout you?
quote Ryan:There was nothing corrupt about the trial. It’s our system, like it or not.Regardless, the subsequent behavior was inexcusable.
I agree. That was a scary time for me in los angeles. Rioting and looting is just wrong.
Our system is the way it is and it works fine. In the end, the department of Justice reopened it ang got at least 2 of those guys. Trial system corrupt, no. but the cops were.
Re: I’m preparing to riot – how ’bout you?
quote CaptnCornerBanger:EVO8 –Here’s my point. For months the MSM had been using flawed polls to portray this huge Obama lead. Had he lost the minority community would have seen this as a huge injustice and probably corruption. You can see by the results there was no 10+ point blowout like the MSM polls were suggesting. Had Obama lost many would have seen this as a huge racial smite. There has been social unrest in the past for less.
I’m glad there was no social unrest but had there been it would lie on the hands of those in the MSM who let their bias guide their coverage.
And you are correct, there are wacko’s on both sides.

I understand what you are saying, but you seem to have this notion that minorities are somehow not able to control themselves and act violently when something doesn’t go the way they thought it would go. Riots based on racial tension don’t just occur based on what COULD be corruption. The Los Angeles Riot of ’92 occurred because of the FACT that the corrupt cops were acquitted. The Watts Riot of ’65 was fueled by the racial tension that escalated due to the passing of Prop 14 which allowed landlords to discriminate based on race.Now i would agree with you if McCain won, and it was PROVEN that he won due to racial corruption, and they caught the corrupt people involved, put them on trial, and THEN let them go without even a slap on the wrist, then yes, a riot would have occurred.
As far as social unrest occurring based on less, yes, i agree and do realize that happens. I mean, rioting has occurred in recent history after stupid sporting events. But you can’t blame that on just minorities. That’s the fault of all those people of any race.
All i am saying is when you say, “Had he lost the minority community would have seen this as a huge injustice and probably corruption”, and when you say, “Had Obama lost many would have seen this as a huge racial smite” i find it a bit offensive. Please give us a little more credit than that.
anyway, glad to hear you didn’t have to shoot any of us with your carbine.

We all certainly hope and pray for the best but it would not suprise me.
Well, in that case, we should be afraid no matter who wins

There’s going to be radicals on both sides. But riots? I still think it’s not even in the same ballpark as the Rodney King beating. Not that it justifies it, because it doesn’t, but the reason the riots were triggered was not due to the video, but due to the acquittal of the cops involved. The injustice of it all was the driver.
Re: I’m preparing to riot – how ’bout you?
Rioting if McCain wins? Who would riot? Is that what a lot of people think?
Re: I’m preparing to riot – how ’bout you?
Are you guys seriously comparing this election to the Rodney King beating?
Re: Krav and JiuJitsu?
Here’s my take on the subject. In my opinion, i believe learning both is ideal. Krav already incorporates some good fundamental ground techniques, but supplementing it with bjj will fill in the gaps. The only issue on learning both at the same time is the training philosophy behind the systems. In Krav, from the time you walk into your first class, the main focus is on being aggressive. Good solid techniques are taught of course, but i think the mindset of being relentless and never giving up is fundamental when it comes to krav. I remember testing for the yellow belt in krav to be complete torture. Drivng my body to the point somewhere beyond fatigue, technique can go out the window at times. But i believe the instructors were testing my will to keep going with intensity and finish the test rather than seeing if could throw a perfect punch. Then when i tested for orange belt, not to say i breezed through it stamina-wise, i remember it being more technical and not as exhausting.
Now when it come to bjj, if you start the system with the same frame of mind, you can potentially hurt your training partners pretty bad. i remember learning how to do an americana (arm lock attacking the shoulder) my first day training in bjj. all the focus at that time was on doing to the technique properly and slowly, not aggressively. Makes sense, right? I mean, you can’t just go in there and rip someones arm off like your life depended on it. It’s a different training method. In contrast, when starting Krav, we learn how to punch properly using our hips to generate power. Then we attack a striking pad hard. 100% hard and then keep going relentlessly. If you hit so hard you rock your partner through the tombstone pad a bit, that’s a good thing.
As i stated before, never giving up is the mindset of krav. Training in bjj, you kinda have to know you are going to get caught, especially when just starting, and have to tap out. Unless you want to get your arm broken and not be able to train for months. This can really screw with your ego. Of course, it helps you learn not to get caught in the future, but dealing with it at the time sucks because tapping out potentially represents death at times. I mean, if you get choked out and the guy doesn’t let go, your dead.
Krav is based on natural body reactions. Bjj, not so much. IMO, this means it takes a while to learn the fundamentals of bjj. Krav on the other hand was designed to be effective in a short amount of time.
Anyway , i guess i am just trying to say that both systems are great but i feel when training in both simultaneously, conflicts can arise due to different training principles. This is not hard to overcome as long as you know how to approach each style.
