The war on Ninjas

[Evergrey]

I've never seen someone appear to have so much fun being taking down whilst committing a real crime. Seems like the wife was pretty amused by it at the time, too!

GOOD LORD THAT'S A WOMAN

And the gripping conclusion that I also posted in the "what did you do today" thread:

Today I finally got to roll with the ninja after Kyokushin, and the results were… mixed. I immediately started attacking the omoplata, and when that wasn’t really working I went to work on a triangle choke. The ninja immediately started to go red in the face, and tried to escape by

1. driving his finger nail into the underside of my knee,

2. shoving his fingers in my face.

3. attempting to strangle me with his free hand.

This did not work, as I started attacking a triangle armbar as well as basing out and locking the choke up even tighter. At this point, the ninja is REALLY red in the face. Think “I’m gonna be out in the next few seconds if I don’t do something NOW” levels of red. So of course, during what is supposed to be a light roll, he does something that is 100% sane and acceptable: he performs a Rampage Jackson style powerbomb on me. that get’s me to let go. We stopped rolling after that, and I was at a loss for words. Of all the things I expected from him, that was not one of them. Fuck it. I should have not been so nice and just gone of a kneebar or some shit. I would have loved to see him try to powerbomb his way out of that. He straight up said afterwards that he doesn’t believe in tapping. I guess I kind of won a moral victory? All I know for sure is that my hatred for ninjas continues to burn with the heat of 1000 suns.

Never let someone you are unfamiliar with lift you off the ground in that matter. Grab their leg or even let go and transition quick. I have seen someone get their neck broken from that situation.

If I am rolling with someone I know and trust, I'll be happy to get lifted off the ground and I know they will not slam me. However, if the person is unfamiliar to me I will never allow myself off the ground high enough to get slammed. I'll let go of the submission or guard before then.

I tried to let go as soon as he started to stand up, but he did everything very quickly and my legs got kinda tangled up because I had really been squeezing the triangle. I actually had my arm hooked under one of his legs just before this happened, and decided to pull it out so I would pull down on his head. That was a stupid, stupid idea.

As this was obviously a draw, you are now 1-1-2 against Ninjas. So you are still just as good as a Ninja.

PS. Fix your Triangle:

not sure if the video plasma posted covered this or not, but you would have been better off using the leg you where holding to help you cut your angle better than using it to pull down on the head even if you where not being lifted off the ground.
If you cut your angle nice and tight their is virtually no reason to have to pull down on the head.

PS. Fix your Triangle:

I have been trying to figure out how to express this concept... it wasn't taught to me with this explanation... just experienced over and over again and I was unable to verbalize what I was feeling and why my angles for attack and defense were always different.

For example I was never in a great position to finish or even start to finish an armbar while attempting a serious triangle... which was strangely enough exactly how I was taught Hapikdo ... the close up, arm over their shoulder variation, perpendicular position with the "up/down scissor motion and curl" ... but zero explanation ... it just worked so I only thought about why it worked later.

I like the way that fellow thinks.

Yeah. Never gonna let this happen again. And for what it's worth, I've never fought a Ninja that had less than a 40lb+ weight advantage on me.

That is what it is worth.

That fat ninja was the one that straight up beat the shit out of me. The ninja I subbed was just really tall, and this guy just really likes the gym. And possibly vitamin t.

HedgeHogey was way better at fighting Ninjas than you. You got a long way to go.

[Azatdawn]

I should have

become competent before attempting anything like this.

I would have loved to see him try to powerbomb his way out of that.

Yeah, or imagine if YOU would have powerbombed HIM, huh? Would have loved to see his face then, ha! *punches at air*
