Comrades let's have a thread for martial arts, combat sports and self defense. Striking, grappling, all styles welcome (except fake ass shit). Let's talk about training, techniques, fights, fighters, etc. Here's a fun fact: One of the many achievements of the soviets was founding their own combat system, sambo, which proved to be extremely effective and is still widely practiced today. Also, Judo orange belt here (AMA if you want)

is a thicker/bigger neck harder to choke? i mean if you need more than one hand to fully cover my neck then one hand, isn't that already better
i've been doing neck curls with 6 pound plates and it's grown but looks a bit too big, i want to know if there's any advantage physically
No.28574
>>28573I'm sure. You'll also be strengthening your veins probably which is the real thing that's going to get you in your neck, not your windpipe.
I dunno though, if someone has proceeded to choking you, you're probably fucked. You shouldn't get to that stage. I think the most vulnerable thing about the neck is getting your brain stem damaged through strikes. They outlaw "rabbit punches" in boxing because it's so OP(so obviously if you are seriously fighting someone you should rabbit punch them and be wary of getting rabbit punched yourself)

>>28574I should post this story I read of this boxer who got rabbit punched into a paraplegic but it's one of the most depressing stories I even read no lie.
No.28576
>>28574>>28575Oh yeah and I didn't define rabbit punch.
>A rabbit punch is a blow to the back of the head or to the base of the skull.[1] It is considered especially dangerous because it can damage the cervical vertebrae and subsequently the spinal cord, which may lead to serious and irreparable spinal cord injury. A rabbit punch can also detach the victim's brain from the brain stem,[2] which can kill instantly.
>The punch's name is derived from the use of the technique by hunters to kill rabbits with a quick, sharp strike to the back of the head.[3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit_punch No.28583
>>28576So there's no amount of body building that can prevent that, I guess
No.28616
>>28583No. It will probably keep your neck from getting torqued as much probably. Yeah I think having a stronger neck will probably diminish the damage. But you asked about choking.
Choking someone from the front with your hands isn't a great way. You actually probably could get out of that depending. Out of a chokehold no. I know some martial arts stuff will sell you about how to get out of a chokehold but I think it's kind of impossible unless you're like ridiculous stronger than the person that put you in the chokehold, and then I'd question how you ended up in the chokehold in the first place. If someone is trying to choke you from the front with their hands you still have great leverage to strike them while both their hands are occupied. You could just gouge their eyes, kick them in the nuts, trip them, etc.
No.28617
>>28583>>28616But yeah your veins will get blocked regardless and you will lose consciousness from lack of blood flow to your brain. Like I said maybe it'd might make it harder/take longer but of course anyone can be choked out.
No.28623
>>28616>I know some martial arts stuff will sell you about how to get out of a chokehold but I think it's kind of impossibleThey do it by hitting pressure points or kneecapping
Good luck with the pressure points if the guys on a strong stimulant or a freak with high pain tolerance though
Knocking out the patella is always a good option in a real no holds life and death fight regardless if if you're in a chokehold anyway
No.28624
>>28623Crazy think I've been choked out in a chokehold and also in a frontal hands on neck lol.
Chokehold:
Me and my brother got in a fight. Pretty sure I was whipping his ass. Then he fooled me with some truce shit. Then as I was walking away he came up behind me and put me in the chokehold. I had to say uncle. I came at him later with the anime store dull katana lel. Then he called the cops on me and I went to jail. Lol. He dropped the charges though. Me and him are real cool for a longtime now.
Choked out by hands from the front:
I was with my friend who was kinda psychotic. I forgot what the confrontation was over. I was trying to be non-confrontational because I could sense he was getting angry. I dunno maybe I was doing passive aggressive shit. Anyways he flipped out and choked me out from the front while I was shotgun and he was in the driver's seat. Was also a real surprise. I also said uncle.

About the chokehold thing. Sure, train to get out of it, plan to get out of it lol. I wouldn't bank on it. If you got into a chokehold you fucked up IMO. Someone show me a video where someone got into a chokehold in a real fight and then broke out of it and won LMAO.

Embedding error.
>>28729Exaggerating for dramatic effect. I don't endorse executions and curb stomping. I'm just saying you can't approach a fight like a slap fight. If you have to club someone over the head with something that could potentially kill them to incapacitate them, do it. Once they are knocked out or you can put them in a choke hold do that of course, but until that point.
KILL OR BE KILLEDBut you also missed the other part of my advice which is to walk away.

>>30643Most martial arts is a kind of competitive dancing that is meant to simulate fighting while preventing injuries. A lot of these were invented in a time when many injuries were fatal and if your culture had a dance like that, physical aggression could be released with less damage.
So this is not a bug it's a feature.

No.31673
>>31639Sounds like bullshit to me. How would one go about banning martial arts? People are always going to find ways of kicking the shit out of each other.
Forms or Kata are found in Japanese and Korean Martial arts too, and they're a training method. I expect they were a way of getting illiterate peasants to memorise basic movements without literary aids, although they could have doubled as drills for soldiers for the sake of discipline.
From the forms you kind of have to figure out the combat aspect for yourself, similar to how HEMA guys have to reconstruct fighting methods from old treatise and archaeological findings.
I should also point out that most of that is an uneducated guess, but idc because my competition is a YT comment
No.31676
>>31673There are modern examples of banning certain martial arts, for example capoeira was banned in Brazil during the early 20th century, kendo was banned in Japan for a few years after their surrender at the end end of the second world war. I'm sure there are more historical examples.
No.31677
>>31676Right, but they still exist, which means people must have been practicing in private or they wern't banned for long enough for it to have a serious impact. I'd imagine these bans were accompanied by restrictions on things like weapons and perhaps large gatherings of military-age men in general too, otherwise they wouldn't have been very effective.
On top of all this, there are only so many ways to throw a punch or a kick. What if you got busted for practicing some banned martial art and defended yourself by sayiing that "actually I was just making shit up" or "this isn't from Capoeira, it's a form of Wushu from Northern China"? Would the police let you off?

>>31679Well the Chinese had enough 'practical' martial arts training that they used to hold competitions where they fought all comers
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lei_taiThis dates back to the Song dynasty at least, and is carried on today in the modern combat sport of Sanda. The MMA fighter Cung Le was a Sanda (or Sanshou) fighter, and he took it to the UFC with some success.
Pic rel is of some Chinese wrestling practitioners, and their sport is still practised today in China too.
What you're probably thinking of is Wushu, which is more of a dance derived from martial arts than a fighting style. That's the form with the fancy flowing movements. It's the form you're likely to see in Kung fu films.
No.31718
There's really no "best" martial arts. Lethwei, muay thai, sambo, kickboxing are all great. If you train hard and consistently in one of these styles and its not some dogmatic shit like kung fu then it will work. I did a bunch of tae kwon do as a kid and when i turned 14 i started at a gym with a bunch of kick boxing and muay thai guys and they all fucked me up. I stuck with it and now I can say I have a decent striking and grappling game
No.31719
>>31717Not really sure what the point of this reply is, since I never said that it was entirely Chinese or that the modern form was the same as the old forms. Just that there
was a history of people in China meeting up and beating the shit out of each other.
It's funny too, because the video you showed literally says that
>''there is a lot more Chinese martial arts influence to Sanda than a lot of non-lovers of Chinese Martial Arts are willing to give it credit for" and that they took both kicks
and wrestling (Shuai jiao, a sport in its own right which is still practiced today) from China. The video briefly mentions that the reason for the lack of sparring goes back to either the start of the Communist era or the Qing dynasty, and that's the primary reason they weren't "practical" anymore. Why this change took place, I'm not sure. I've read of at least one tournament held before in Repblican-era China (only on Wikipedia) where a load of people ended up dying in fights so it had to be called off.
It seems like what they were doing with Sanda was creating their own state-version of MMA for competitions years before it was concieved properly in the West, which is pretty cool.
