About Fights and Weight Rooms

The old phrase about fights being won and lost in the weight room seems to be flying around so I thought I'd post my expeirence on this subject here.

!) Ive seen some very intemidating men who could move a lot of weight around but spent 0 time on cardio/conditioning. These guys arms will get so tired doing a hold such as a headlock that if you get loose they won't have anything left, nothing, there too dead to even launch a blow. I've had this happen when a big guy side headlocked me, he didnt have the technique right and I could still get air, we stayed in this position for several minutes with him lifting up on my head and arm the entire time. I couldnt bridge and roll him but I did get his back off my chest and was able to break the hold. When he returned to his feet his arms were so dead he couldnt do anything with them AT ALL. His arms were completely dead, so dead that I could tell it strained him to even move them. He didn't want to play anymore after that, he wouldnt advance on me at all, and when he realized I was going to finish him he just quit altogether.

I had the same thing when i started Jiu-Jitsu. Its amazing just how hard maintaining grips and holds can be on your arms and hands, it really burns after a while, especially if you're holding onto a big thick gi.

because i curl 225 for reps and if your not a strong strong guy along with being a good grappler l will twist your head off if i grab you around your neck or head fact is i broke a guys nose when i put him in a headlock in class-i squeesed him so hard i busted his nose, another time i picked a guy right off the matt and slammed him on his head and knocked him out

I have also found stength to be very important, occaisonally a very skilled guy can deal with givining away lots of power , but those guys are rare,I think everybody knows strength is crucialm, they just like to pretend it isn't. Helio Gracie thinks strength aint that bag a deal, but thats cause back in the 40's there were no steriods,few people lifted, and the few that did lift generally lifted wrong. And one of the few guys that was very strong back then was Kimura,and he broke Helio's arm.

John,

You might be bigger than most, but you aren't bigger and stronger than *everybody*. What happens when the other guy is bigger than you? Then you'd better have good technique.

As for changing the rules, two can play that game.

As for the street, assume the other guy is armed.

Tim what is with the hair cut shit??? lets see a pic of you

huh??

Eric , i didnt mean you personally you dont know me like the rest of the boys on RSB - I can talk shit , i love to talk shit -where is my main man timmy and this new pile of shit dan dan the minute man

poundage is more then equal when its me poundage because gun,bat,stick ,knife it dont matter because i hit first and fats and you dont want to see how fast and hard i hit

It all depends whether or not you drop the weight on your foot.

How much poundage is equal to a gun, a knife, a baseball bat, a bottle in the face, a surprise attack... etc?
