Fighting

[carlito cool]

do like did get strong and make the first hit count

 

[Alaric]

Is there anyway to train yourself to make your bones for example your knuckes harder and stronger?

It all depends, but here's my advice:

Practice Practice Practice. If you want your knuckles to be strong in comparison to apples.....then keep punching apples.

If you want your knuckles to be strong in comparison to skulls....then go out tonight, and punch as many skulls as you can (I recommend punching from behind when they don't expect it....because you're still a newb, and you need to build up knuckle strength first before a direct confrontation).

 

[Diablo1990]

nice one Alaric, I will just punch skulls when they have my attention. I am fine for a direct confrontation I have someone beat up anyway long story..

 

[BigDyl]

Very sad. :sad:


I'm sure I can find your fights on the hall of shame subfighter video.


Please pick a discipline. Then you can say you are a fighter.

My instructor had a board, like a 2 x 8, up against the wall with a spring behind it. The was a thin leather cover on the board. He hit that a few times a week and he had a set of knuckles like I've never seen. You can also tie rope around a board and hit that. It will make your hands harder, but I do believe just consistent and correct work with a bag is all you need.

 

[Doublebase]

100% correct, which is why Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a good choice because it addresses ground grappling, and take downs. It even has stand-up.

I am currently taking kickboxing. I plan on taking BJJ in the future. A good stand-up and ground technique will make you a very dangerous weapon. Ofcourse you should be smart with it and stay out of street fights.

 

[DiGiTaL]

a friend of mine used to well he only did it once ,,he soaked his hands in sulfuric acid to deaden the nerves when he pulled his hands out they were gone,,,,now he has really hard stumps and there deadly weapons

are you saying we should all soak our hands in sulfurice acid for better knuckes? :/........

 

[dontsurfonmytur]

street fights will never last longer than 5 minutes, so its just for when u hate somebody really bad or just anger issues

but iam planning to train to be a MMA fighter also...
i think im gona pack on some beef and get in great shape, and after high school, train boxing, tae kwan do, and jiu jit su(grappling). Anybody currently a MMa fighter?

The more punishment (punching for example) your knuckles take, there will eventually be visible calcium buildup around the damaged areas. A lot of experienced martial artists get this after a while, i guess its the body's way of preventing injury to the bone. Obviously if the knuckles are larger it'll be more difficult for them to break.

Saw it on a documentary about those guys who tour around punching through bricks and things.

Bricks don't punch back

Dumb thread

 

[Detroit_4_Life]

But really in a fight i usually use my takedown/grappling/wrestling skills to get someone down first, like tackle them, and then get on the offensive. File on him while u got em on the ground

Fighting is easy.....Rule #1. I don't give a shit, rule #2. I can take a punch, rule #3. I can box or wrestle.....nuff said bitches. If you don't have at least 2 of the 3 posted qualities......run you big fairy.

Please son, all your BS fake fighting training don't mean shit if you can't take a punch and have no balls

true story

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is all about ground grappling isnt it? doubt it would be much use in a standard fight...maybe in the ufc!

most fights end up on the ground. Jiu Jitsu is the most effective martial art IMO.

What's this rule supposed to mean? IMO if you don't give a shit, you are more careless and leave yourself more vulnerable to being defeated, whereas the one who is patient and waits for openings and has a strategic plan will be the victor in most cases. This can be said for all types of fighting. Unless I just took the rule the wrong way?

It's definately good to be well versed in Jiu Jitsu and be able to grapple. But then again, if you have excellent striking skills and takedown defenses, it is possible to keep fights from going to the ground. Jiu Jitsu can't hurt in addition to those though.

That's where gracie jiu jitsu comes in. combines everything, striking, takedowns, and ground grappling.

Well yeah but I'd rather have Jiu Jitsu skills for self defense for fights that would occur in regular life(if any at all).

 

[kentmc]

any fights i've been in i jus grabed them by the collor and swong as many punches as i could at their face, when it did get on the growd i try to stand up and get some kicks/knees in at their head

 

[EricCamper]

The last fight I was in, I walked up on a guy smacking his girl in the face, and then I said something like, why dont you guys do that somewhere else...Like in your Trailer!!! Well....he came UP the stairs and tried to swing at me....haha...lower ground....Did he not see Star Wars 3.... Anyway..I had a cooler full of ice and I had to drop it to get out of the way and it landed on his shin....I struck him in the ear I think with a hook....I was wobbling from the drop....lol... And he tripped and fell down the steps and then his girl kicked him in the groin like 4 times.....OUCH..... So ...screw...Jitsu...Grappling...etc....Just get a pissed off girlfriend...and maybe a cooler

 

[budhicks1]

First off, you don't take a martial art to get good at fightining at school.


Now if it's self defense, that is a different story.


Secondly, it takes at least 2-3 years to get decent. And might I recommend Brazilian Jiu Jits.

I agree!

In addition, I use a wooden board. Over time your knuckles become solid when punching it. I know a lot of teachers who have done the same. You have to be extremely careful. You can try break away boards as well. Research it.

 

[lucifuge]

they're called makiwara boards, and if you don't know what your doing, you can seriously jack your hands up. Martial arts are great, but in everyday life, not so useful... the only guys I've ever known that would actually use their training were guys with attitude or anger problems, they would pretty much look for fights, generally with people a lot smaller and/or weaker than themselves anyway. If you're planning on going into MMA, then join a school (they're everywhere now) and learn how to strike correctly. If you're just looking to kick some guys ass, then just give it a shot. Everyone's lost, that's how you get better

 

[myCATpowerlifts]

Foreman is right. You may just not have a good nose. I mean you can be a tough guy, and just have a weak nose and it's not your fault it's just how your body is built. Some people have strong chins and some people don't ( training helps ) but it's pretty natural how hard of a punch you can take.

 

[Alaric]

If you plan on doing just a random street fight....

Just fight dirty, do whatever you gotta do to win. Bite him, break his arm, poke his eyes out, kick him in the nuts. Just make sure as soon as you see him on the ground, to not show him mercy, keep at it. Anything goes.

 

[DiGiTaL]

Its not how strong you are, its how motivated you are IMO.
