The Original Anti-Grapple?

[Lebell]

We yesterday did chisao training in my university's library... o_O
At least the theatre group walked by, and today people were telling stories of what a badass I am...

Behold my new signature!

vielen dank mein Freund!

und hasst du ein drama student gefickt?

gheheh!
you gotta love my german.

[Coach Josh]

LMFAO

I got those mags after the UFC and practiced that against some other guys in TKD. After which I went to a Judo class. I now am a nidan in Judo, train BJJ and coach MMA

It's a phrenetic translation.

YouTube - You keep using that word.

Jiu jitsu might be phonetic but it doesn't look that wildly excited to me.

LOL - I am flattered!

No, didn't serve any drama student... From that seminar. Yet.




Seriously, it's apparently so easy to impress people.
I feel like Peter Parker after beating Flash.

Oh, and I haven't gone running yet. Darn! And out I rush...

And THEY were wrong too!:toothy10:

HAHA, fine sir.

You clearly don't know who i heard that from. That man has more experience in the martial arts then ANYONE on the board.

However, If it was wrong, then it was my doing, as i remembered the conversation wrong.

I believe the word he is looking for is "phonetic."

Say it with me now: pho-net-ic.

[3moose1]

the word phonetic isn't even spelled fonetikallee.

Romanization isn't a style of takedown, so this is a question for a linguist, not a martial artist. Or maybe both - as usual, Gezere/Psycho Claus is correct.



And, uh, on the topic of this thread, the proposal to counter a takedown with a sprawl... I was expecting something more along the lines of ki balls. I do like how breathless the opening of the article is about it, though.

This was one of those times where i should have checkity checked myself before i wreckity wrecked myself.

I'm seeing the guy tomorrow, and plan to ask him about this.

This post makes the IPA cry.

Well, I can positively confirm that when the name of the art was first introduced into the English language (via England, incidentally) it was generally spelled jiujitsu, with numerous variations (ju-ji-tsu, jujutsu, jujitsu, etc.) following in close order. It was also parodied in an early 1900s British play as "juicy jujubes".

At the time Maeda introduced it to Brazil, jiujitsu was still a very common spelling.

It's awesome reading these old BB articles. In some of the more UFC-centric issues, there seems to be more articles that actually make sense. The letters section is funny, too. Art Davie wrote in once and basically offered anyone who was bitching about the UFC to step up.

Unfortunately, there are a few critical issues missing. Namely the ones right after UFC 2, where Royce actually beat a karate, kung-fu, jiu-jitsu, and taekwondo guy (But not a pressure point guy, because they're all pretty much frauds and didn't step up. Except for Ryan Parker, who got bitched by Remco Pardoel in UFC 7).

MA and Linguistic skill are two separate things. I have a lot of experience in both and wouldn't make that mistake.

What a trip down memory lane... I remember reading that 'sprawl' article and thinking "Did these guys not see Shamrock sprawl on Royce?" Anyone who wrestles in high school knows there are counters to sprawling. Now a reverse punch to the top of the head... no counter for that.

[Holy Moment]

"Did these guys not see Shamrock sprawl on Royce?"

They didn't. According to the BB review of UFC I, Royce "took Shamrock down with a double leg".

Now a reverse punch to the top of the head... no counter for that.

I can't tell whether or not you're being sarcastic. Just give me a yes or no.
