Also, importantly, be physically fit. <br /><a href="http://www.matsumotoshouse.com/" rel="nofollow">brazilian jiu jitsu (BJJ) natomas</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19984816.post-8199372677489582012-07-24T01:50:34.675+09:002012-07-24T01:50:34.675+09:00Very well described.

You've touched on all the points that I hold to be true, though I imagine in Japan it is even more true (he who draws blood is guilty), so open-hand "slaps" or what look to be "just pushes, sir." being the watch-word.<br /><br />After injuring my thumbs and wrists a number of times doing boxing/kali pad work with people who didn't know how to hold pads, I very much came to the conclusion that in real-world situations, it's never going to be an ideal target presented = bad geometry = broken hands.<br /><br />Much faster with open hands... much. So much so that it's hard to train defence reflexes with others when they go full speed open hand... you just can't see them coming and you _must_ be in full flinch/fend guard or you will get tagged.<br /><br />I also understand that boxers that get into fights and "win," _always_ have to go to the hospital afterwards because they have 100% broken their little finger knuckles because of skull hits... doesn't sound like a "win" to me.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /> Keith.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07281399061214601431noreply@blogger.com
