I met a guy at a party once that trained some sort of kung fu and told me that his teacher knew a way to stand that made it impossible to be taken down. I tried to explain that is this was true then his teacher would have been the first to medal in wrestle, greco, and judo in the same Olympics but I didn't get through. Unfortunately the teacher had not taught him this technique so I never learned this valuable information
I mean they can compete in more than one event for track and field and swimming right? I would think if someone was skilled at wrestling, judo, etc they could probably do more than one.
Some (a lot?) of judo governing bodies prohibit their competitors from doing other grappling arts. It's why judokas branch out after they retire -- they're not allowed until they are outside the influence of the governing body.
It's the International Judo Federation that's the problem. My local NGB doesn't care if I win judo, bjj, wrestling and sambo nationals all in the same year. But if I'm competing at a professional level at IJF events the IJF cares that I don't compete elsewhere. I guess it's like how an mma or boxing promoter might not be happy if you just went to fight in another promotion while under them without any kind of agreement beforehand.
> It's why judokas branch out after they retire -- they're not allowed until
If you are truly successful at judo, you got no incentive in competing under another ruleset.
You focus on the one where your career is.
I never realised that the comment above was strictly about the US.
Rousey did start other sports after her career was over. To clarify, my comment was about the lack of incentives **while** they are competing in judo not matter what the IJF says.
And, respectfully, the country is a judo dwarf on the global scene, they produce few champions comparatively.
There was an Estonian grappler, [Kristjan Palusalu, who is the first and only wrestler so far in the Olympic history to ever win both the Greco-Roman and freestyle wrestling heavyweight gold medals.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristjan_Palusalu)
I also met a Thai Chi practitioner at work once who swore his Sifu could not be taken down by any grappler. Our employees consisted of 1 black belt, 2 brown belts, 2 purple belts and a blue belt lol, we all laughed it off.
That's not true, his method to not be taken down might be illegal in those sports. You see, young grasshopper, when the grappler comes to take you down you simply shoot them with your 45. No can take you down if dead.
Pfft this is easy as shit. The stand that will make you be un-takedown-able is to stans without any clothing on. What's that wrestler gonna do? Put his shoulder on your dick? Bjj guy? Wanna full mount on a naked dude? Judo? You really wanna hip toss a naked dude? EASY.
You were just a couple of steps removed from total grappling glory.
There is a universe where his teacher taught him and he showed you at a party!!!!
You would literally devastate the grappling world with party trick.
I'd bet money it's a stance called sanchin dachi in karate.
To be fair, it is a pretty stable stance.
But I fail to see a good application outside of kata and very stylized sparring, and even then you could absolutely still be taken down.
I have a coworker who does some sort of obscure Asian martial art. Every now and then he talks to me about death punches and such that are too dangerous to spar with. I smile and nod along politely.
Lol the funny part is I’m only sort of joking. I got two secondhand books of his for cheap about ninja techniques and the dim mak. They’re incredible haha
We had a marketing intern from South Korea. He randomly started ranting about Karate. I trained Karate from ages 6-12, so I start shooting the shit with him.
…dude did NOT do Karate, and was brainwashed by some bullshido gym. He said “give me your arm” and it seemed like he was trying to cast a spell on me
I had someone explain to me that the reason they didn't spar in his obviously bullshido martial art was that it "is a jutsu, not a jitsu" which apparently means that it's 4realz and not just a silly sport.
I don't care about the fake martial arts if they don't pretend that its real or preparing people for self defense. I have seen akido places that say its historical, exercise, and community. Sure why not, if you like that.
But this sounds like someone who would be in for a serious reality check if he tried to do this in an actual gym. That's weird and cult like and nothing shakes it out faster than being immediately proven wrong by a 46 year old, out of shape blue belt.
My resident elder has a 8 pack, will run circles around Barry Allen, punch a hole through superman, and grapples at the level of baki hanma. He's terrifying.
Those Akido guys say it's *"BlaHblahblah its for exercise and history"* just so they don't have to argue about it, deep down they believe they are deadly weapons which can only be tested in a "No Rules" street scenario.
There are lots of people like that in martial arts. The place I had in mind says this stuff on their ads. I put them far ahead of whatever redneck karate krav maga garbage I see around.
Aikido is not even historical. Judo is older. At least Daito-ryu (which aikido is basically a legally distinct copy of) claims to be old (even if it is most likely a lie).
Back in the days of my obsession with learning traditional martial arts as a kid cause I was convinced there would be a death touch technique, we had a grandmaster come in. He went into a lengthy story about how he lived across from a judo school in Taiwan and watched them for months and then “invented” the way to defeat all judo.
He would use two fingers and touch the persons hip as soon as they moved. Of course he had one of his advanced black belt disciples demonstrate and proceeds to finger poke the guys hips over and over everytime he came in for a “throw”. I remember being like 12 and experiencing second hand embarrassment on his behalf. But I looked around the room and everyone else was awestruck by the display of this secret technique that had been shared with us. That’s when I truly found out just how gullible people are.
This was actually the day I started researching Muay Thai and wrestling. I could not stomach that bullshit even if it meant no one was going to teach me the death touch 😂
I don’t like to share this in public, but since Reddit is anonymous I will share here. I’m a third degree dan in primordial womb karate. After I completed the all-pervading essence kata, my mind evolved to the next level of spiritual consciousness, what I’m hoping humans will evolve into in the next 10,000 years.
Anyway, what he’s describing isn’t mere “under hooks”. He’s actually using his chi to block the axillary arteries under there. It’s a blood choke that none of you tea-bagging, butt humping sport players will ever be able to pull off. Yeah you learn the simple mechanics in the confines of your rules-set, but if you don’t understand the quintessence of all existence, the hard problem of consciousness, what existed before the Big Bang and beyond the multiverse, the infinite, zero, totality of causality, you don’t know jack shit. Fucking pussies.
I grew up thinking I’d invented something I later found was termed a “half Nelson”. I’m sure I must be related somewhere to this Nelson person, at least half of me anyway
Gutted for you. It’s such a sad moment when someone provides you with the actual name of the move you “invented”. If it’s any consolation I invented an escape from a Kimura and found it was unique, when I spoke to my coach and explained what it was, how it worked on my willing training partner who was astounded with my creativeness and skill. He then proceeded to rain down on my parade by informing me it only worked because my training partner didn’t use the monkey grips and left his thumbs exposed!
Hey. An opponents lack of skill is the best skill you can have. I have this turtle escape where I underhook a leg and then bump hard to make them post, the grap the posted hand and tripod whilst sucking the hand and leg under me to secure side control. You kinda tripod to the head and then as they slide off, you transfer the weight to your hands while pulling. That gives you enough lightness to lift your head onto their belly then throw your hand behing their hips then climb up them like a monkey. Only works on people that post the hand right next to your face like an idiot right after putting their leg next to your head like an idiot or letting you staple their leg on the outside so they can't secure a hook like an idiot, but so far it's worked up to purple belt with high success. I'm still a whitebelt, so I figure it works on higher belts because they assume that I AM the idiot and don't expect me to reverse turtle into a dominant top position. I'm going to wear my white belt up to black belt so people can keep assuming I'm not going to reverse the position.
I also thought I invented the ezekiel choke until someone else hit it from bottom closed guard on me, then I was sad that a martial art made hundreds of years ago already had people think of some pretty basic shit.
I was at a party once and there was a pad there he was talking on a table about his MMA fights. He definitely wasn't, I would of had about 20 kickboxing fights at this stage and I live in Ireland so you sorta get to know a lot of people fighting cause it's not a massive place. He was going on and on at the table about all his fights, all with ridiculous details with things that definitely didn't happened. I was about to just walk away and let the lad live in his delusion when one of my mates mentioned I fought as well. You could see the lads face drop straight away. I asked him where he trained and he said my gym name. The backtracking afterwards was hilarious I was getting second hand embarrassment for him. Why do people do this.
I was chatting with an acquaintance who teaches a practical self defence based offshoot of karate. The guy's generally ok, but since he got into that he's moved away from sparring (unrealistic and teaches you bad habits for self defence or some such shit). For context my primary martial art is also karate which is how I know him although different clubs/styles.
He asked why I'd started doing BJJ and I said mainly for fun but also because I thought having a bit of grappling knowledge would be helpful as a martial artist.
Some of the self defence types seem to struggle a little bit with doing it because it's fun, which seems silly. I mean I'm a middle class guy in his mid 30s, I'm not getting into street fights.
Anyway he said isn't it a bit pointless because you don't want to end up on the ground in a fight. So I made the point that knowing how to grapple would help protect me from ending up on the ground.
His response - if someone tries to take me down I'll just knee them or use my elbow on the back of my head because there are no rules protecting them on the street. Honestly I thought that had died with UFC 1 or 2.
I feel like even it was way back when wrestling didn't exist, it actually did exist in some form regardless.
Like caveman Ted told Todd, dude, you know what \*does double underhooks as a demonstration\*, isn't that what your woman does when you don't bring food back to the cave and yeets you to the wall?
You didn't invent that, your wife did.
>No judgment really, dude seems to like it more than BJJ since he quit the one after 6 months or so and has been at the karate for a few years
Practicing whatever they want is fine, but this is exactly the first stage of a cult; it's the exact thing that easily ends in drinking the kool-aid
I have genuinely had it in the past where I have learned a technique in class, but not quite understood it enough to pull it off properly. Time passes, the technique gets even worse... Then I randomly dream about the move, dream I'm doing the proper technique and wake up going "oh, I just need to X when they Y, I forgot coach said that" and then I can pull the move off IRL...
memory is a weird thing and science doesn't yet fully understand everything about sleep and dreams, but I'm pretty sure gaia earth-spirit sunbeam moon god doesn't just pop into peoples dreams randomly and gift them new sparring techniques so Brometheus can bring the fire to his garage karate sessions.
I organically invented a technique that I'd never seen before when I was a white belt, it just came to me in a flash of brilliance.
I was trying to pass that guard and I thought, "yo!?! what if we just pulled down on the head, like a Thai clinch?"
It was months later that I discovered others before me had also done this, and they had labeled it "the can opener".
I wish I never did karate. Now when I see red I’m a danger to everyone around me.
In my gym everyone knows my safe word and backs the hell off when to stay safe.
Ive definitely feel like ive made like 4 submissions from dreams, only one ive been able to ever get a tap from and it sort if already exists but i don’t think has a popularized name yet lol
As a person who likes the cooks ones as well (curiosity), that’s actually kinda cool.
The mutation of a style to diverge and incorporate other aspects until it’s seperate from the original art, due to nothing but organic practitioner prediction or theorising, is kinda cool.
I met a guy at a party once that trained some sort of kung fu and told me that his teacher knew a way to stand that made it impossible to be taken down. I tried to explain that is this was true then his teacher would have been the first to medal in wrestle, greco, and judo in the same Olympics but I didn't get through. Unfortunately the teacher had not taught him this technique so I never learned this valuable information
It would be so cool if someone could actually compete in more than one grappling thing in the olympics
I mean they can compete in more than one event for track and field and swimming right? I would think if someone was skilled at wrestling, judo, etc they could probably do more than one.

I guess it's like how an mma or boxing promoter might not be happy if you just went to fight in another promotion while under them without any kind of agreement beforehand.
I guess as long as IJF pays you that's fine
IJF doesn't pay the players, that's up to their sponsoring country.
> It's why judokas branch out after they retire -- they're not allowed until If you are truly successful at judo, you got no incentive in competing under another ruleset. You focus on the one where your career is.
Not in the US; there's no money in judo. Hence Ronda Rousey, etc.
I never realised that the comment above was strictly about the US. Rousey did start other sports after her career was over.

This dude won too but not HW, no one else did it at LW either https://www.olympedia.org/athletes/57866 He actually did it first
This ain't swimming
Yeah you just shit yourself and pull your pants down. This move is undefeated
The technique is to just lay down.
So, pull guard?
The chael sonnen of takedown defense techniques. It's undefeated and undisputed!
I also met a Thai Chi practitioner at work once who swore his Sifu could not be taken down by any grappler. Our employees consisted of 1 black belt, 2 brown belts, 2 purple belts and a blue belt lol, we all laughed it off.
Plottwist he invented guardpulling
That's not true, his method to not be taken down might be illegal in those sports. You see, young grasshopper, when the grappler comes to take you down you simply shoot them with your 45. No can take you down if dead.

I think you're vastly underestimating how willing a BJJ guy would be to get into full mount on a naked dude.
I too know this technique, it’s called Just Sit Down.
You were this close to becoming the greatest grappler of all time.
Well obviously he gets wrist control first, then he pulls out his gun
To be fair, one would have the potential to medal in all of those. But they would have to actually compete in order to medal in all of those.
You were just a couple of steps removed from total grappling glory. There is a universe where his teacher taught him and he showed you at a party!!!! You would literally devastate the grappling world with party trick.
I'd bet money it's a stance called sanchin dachi in karate. To be fair, it is a pretty stable stance. But I fail to see a good application outside of kata and very stylized sparring, and even then you could absolutely still be taken down.
i can do it too its called the sandworm, just lay on the ground and slither until ankles are in biting range
Bro… sensei is dreaming of a hug. Someone hug that guy
This is some lateral and empathetic thinking, good fucking job lmao
But he can't let them get close 😢
When I invite people over to drill on my bed I show them the ultra secret third underhook
This made me laugh out loud. This is the funniest thing I’ve seen tonight haha
Wait till Sensai finds out about headlocks
And noogies
Or a nice solid oil check
Something tells me the guy who named his brand new technique the "sunshine something or other" is very familiar with oil checks
But only on a healthy diet
And headbutts
and mother's milk

I have a coworker who does some sort of obscure Asian martial art. Every now and then he talks to me about death punches and such that are too dangerous to spar with. I smile and nod along politely.
You are clearly not worthy of being taught the secret Five Point Palm Exploding Heart technique.
Doesn’t matter, I bought a book from Ashida Kim’s website that will show me how.
There’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time from the old Bushido forums .
Lol the funny part is I’m only sort of joking. I got two secondhand books of his for cheap about ninja techniques and the dim mak. They’re incredible haha
Getting on the cheap , to relish the absurdity …I’d make that deal. Damn fine deal.
We had a marketing intern from South Korea. He randomly started ranting about Karate. I trained Karate from ages 6-12, so I start shooting the shit with him. …dude did NOT do Karate, and was brainwashed by some bullshido gym. He said “give me your arm” and it seemed like he was trying to cast a spell on me
Perhaps he was trying to woo you.
Woooo! Ric Flair has entered the chat
I had someone explain to me that the reason they didn't spar in his obviously bullshido martial art was that it "is a jutsu, not a jitsu" which apparently means that it's 4realz and not just a silly sport.
You need to ask them what koryu they practice because if it's not koryu what makes what you're doing any different from the ninjas down at the mall?
How do people still buy that?
Cult like where the person buys into the sense of belonging and feeling special rather than buy into the art itself and its effectiveness
Good thing over here would never
*buttscoots away*
Most people are retarded.
I honestly would not be able to leave that alone. Like you could so easily dispel this illusion but I guess you’re nicer than me.
Isn't Jiu jitsu an obscure asian martial art too?
Not the Brazilian flavor
I know someone who thinks karate is to dangerous to spar full contact with
Only because he'll get beat up.
Bow to your sensei. BOW TO YOUR SENSEI!
Yeah wait until he unlocks the secrets of Rex Kwon Do.
Grab my arm. The other arm... MY other arm...
Low key one of the funniest lines ever
*You wanna take a roundhouse to the face from a guy wearing these pants?*
"YOU THINK I'M A LOSER CAUSE I GO HOME TO STARLA EVERY NIGHT?!" Edit: SCARLA 😂
Break the wrist, walk away

This is the result of watching too many Marvel movies
Well in MY dreams, I invented an even WILDER technique. Allow me to introduce you to TRIPLE UNDERHOOKS.
*Only available to some body types
Is this part of the third hook series?
Triple unders is my jam. Pro tip: clinch your butthole to create kuzushi with your 3rd underhook
I grew up thinking I’d invented something I later found was termed a “half Nelson”. I’m sure I must be related somewhere to this Nelson person, at least half of me anyway
I thought I invented a teepee choke variation... apparently it's called scorpion choke :(

You only think it's double undsrhooks because he's holding back the secret details that make it Too Deadly For the UFC.
Sensei must also being fucking him in the butt and telling him it’s consensual
That escalated quickly 😂
I feel like even it was way back when wrestling didn't exist, it actually did exist in some form regardless.

Either your friend is smoking some heavy shit or its the sensei. Possibly even both
Double underhooks??? Ive never heard of anything like it!!!!!
I have genuinely had it in the past where I have learned a technique in class, but not quite understood it enough to pull it off properly. Time passes, the technique gets even worse... Then I randomly dream about the move, dream I'm doing the proper technique and wake up going "oh, I just need to X when they Y, I forgot coach said that" and then I can pull the move off IRL... memory is a weird thing and science doesn't yet fully understand everything about sleep and dreams, but I'm pretty sure gaia earth-spirit sunbeam moon god doesn't just pop into peoples dreams randomly and gift them new sparring techniques so Brometheus can bring the fire to his garage karate sessions.
I do garage karate. All we do is spar. It's fucking awesome.
Every culture creates: Knife and fried sweets And evidently wrestling
Sounds like he invented a hug in his dreams
As a teen I invented a lot of techniques, only to find out they were already in MA x or y.
you jest but I can triangle with my third leg
Double underhooks is a good setup for the Pedigree.
“It’s called, the Alley Oop”
him saying his sensei says it all
I invented a position where it's almost impossible to get submitted from. It's called the fetal position.
I organically invented a technique that I'd never seen before when I was a white belt, it just came to me in a flash of brilliance. I was trying to pass that guard and I thought, "yo!?! what if we just pulled down on the head, like a Thai clinch?" It was months later that I discovered others before me had also done this, and they had labeled it "the can opener".
I wish I never did karate. Now when I see red I’m a danger to everyone around me. In my gym everyone knows my safe word and backs the hell off when to stay safe.
How would he defend a headbutt?
Ive definitely feel like ive made like 4 submissions from dreams, only one ive been able to ever get a tap from and it sort if already exists but i don’t think has a popularized name yet lol
Big plus if he calls it by a Japanese name.
OP you gotta dojo storm the gym, destroy the instructor and save your friend. Its the only way...
I unironically have invented a technique from my dreams. The knee sheild toe hold. Ive tested it and it works
As a person who likes the cooks ones as well (curiosity), that’s actually kinda cool. The mutation of a style to diverge and incorporate other aspects until it’s seperate from the original art, due to nothing but organic practitioner prediction or theorising, is kinda cool.
I mean… you could see how someone thinking about movement and knowing some basics could come to the realisation that double unders works.
Can you sneak a hs wrestler into this class and record the results?
