Leg Kick Defence
- Thread starter Nastycrow
- Start date
Defense to head kick
- answering the phone. You put your hand on your ear so it almost looks like you're "answering the phone".
Defense to body kick
- drop your elbow to your hip.- I had a guy in sparring try to Cro Cop my ribs but he ended up kicking the tip of my elbow with the roof of his foot- INSTANT GOLFBALL on his foot and that sparring session was over with him being sidelined for about a week with golfball foot.

Golf Ball Foot- :lol:
Yeah man he couldn't slip a pair of shoes on for a week. He'd come in to watch us train all hobbling around in sandles. :lol: Serves him right for trying to break my ribs during SPARRING- wtf!!

I find it amusing that you can ask a pretty rudimentary question about how to block a kick, but in other posts you give expert opinion of all techniques, and even go far as to say what are and what are not effective in a MMA fight.
I smell a troll...

I am most certainly not a troll, nor am I an expert in anything MMA-related. As I have never competed in any martial art, I had no idea if checking a kick was a good idea (apparently it is) or a way to get your shin broken. Thanks for the answer warwand.
system-mma ... isn't trolling trying to make people angry? How would a question about leg kicks make anyone angry? For that matter, when have I ever claimed to be an expert on anything? Please give me one example of where I have stated that I was an expert in MMA or one of its sub disciplines, or just written a statement implying that I was. Honestly, I've wondered if you were trolling as you answer about 1/3 of my posts with an insult and then don't follow up. I was sincere when I asked you what the high-level differences are between Forrest's style and Machida's, and I'm still hoping you will answer.
I strongly dislike the "pick apart" strategy that some fighters employ - that isn't trolling or a lack of understanding, I just don't like watching fights that play out that way. That doesn't make me a blood thirsty goon - my favourite fights are the ones that involve high-level jiu jitsu and don't result in either competitor being injured or cut. The skill some of the BJJ guys display is awe-inspiring.
Another newbie question - people say "war so-and-so" a lot, ie "War Rampage!". What does this mean? Does it stand for something?

This one drove me up the wall for months until Performify finally explained it in one of the main article comments sections. Apparently it's from someone called Jim Rome who has a sports radio show, and they were making fun of a mascot called the War Eagle or something similar. People would call in and say "War Kobe" or "War Clemens" or silly stuff like that. 12-year-olds across the globe now love to use "War ________" ad naseam on internet forums. Well, maybe that's a little harsh, but I really dislike this overused term.

Rampage appeared either hurt or limited in that round. Based on his previous showings, I think hurt is more likely.
Unless scoring is changed (please note that I did not say fixed) Forrest, Machida and guys like them are going to be the winners in the sport. I strongly suspect that MMA's growing audience will stop growing if that happens. There are many people on these forums who like the technical aspects of the game and understand them (I'm trying to get there myself). However, most UFC customers are casual fans who want to watch brawling fights, and won't appreciate or pay for a technical exchange.

You don't know how to check a kick, but you have the expert answers as far as the scoring, and the techniques used by Machida or Forrest..(even going so far as to group Machida's fighting style with Griffins - and again..since you obviously made that assumption from watching ONE fight of Griffins..I'll even let you off the hook with that one and call it a learning curve.)
And please show us the statistics you used as your basis for "most UFC customers are casual fans who want to watch brawling fights, and won't appreciate or pay for a technical exchange".
Now you claim to have vast knowledge of the viewing audience....but ..you don't know how to check a kick....right.
Look if you're a fan of Jackson and a bit distrubed of the outcome, that's one thing, but to try and speak intelligently about something you have the very obvious lack of knowledge about, in an attempt to interject a educated opinion on something as precise as a fighter's technique or the scoring system used in MMA, makes you look , well like a troll.
If you ask questions in one thread that are extremely basic, under the ruse of trying to understand the sport, and then post opinion on a fighters technique or the scoring system used in MMA in another thread.. there is a bit of a discrepancy there, and anyone with a ounce of a clue would sniff that out as someone thats being a troll.
If I'm wrong and you are truly trying to understand the sport , then great, I will apologize profusely, but you would need to explain the expertise you express in other opinions, in the contrast to the serious lack of understanding of something as basic as checking a leg kick. (its not like this action isn't pointed out a dozen times a fight where fighter checks a kick and the announcer tells you about - seems a reasonable human being could gleen the idea and concept easily enough from that.)

War warwand! I honestly didn't have you in mind with my comments just because you use it in your name, but rather those who write posts that consist of nothing but (or close with) "War (blank)" and contribute nothing to the discussion.

No- I know Brick. I'm just having some fun. I hear what your saying though. I had been introduced to this whole mma forum thing just days before I created my user name. I saw this "war" expression being thrown around all over the place and just figured warwand had a certain ring to it being that Wanderlei has been my favorite fighter FOREVER. Afterwords I had kinda wished I had chosen a cooler funnier screen name but it was to late and I couldn't be happier with my name now- I'm building a legend!!

I thought warwand was a one-punch KO powered strip club bouncer in AZ and not a 12 year old girl.
Just when you think you know someone...

Wow Halvy51, you do your homework!! :lol: Naw man, I made all that s--- up. I'm really a 12 year old one-punch KO powered strip club bouncer in AZ with a really foul mouth.
I'm a girl too.
:lol:
I don't bounce any more though. I got myself a real job in an office where people aren't trying to slice you with box cutters or break bottles over your head and stab you with the broken glass. I can still knock most peole out with one shot though- believe that.
You should see the look on their face when they wake up and there's a 12 year old girl standing over them telling them to get up for some more!! :x

Amen.
Ever collide knees with someone while sparring? I was sparring about a year ago, my opponent and I both threw roundhouse kicks at the same time and our knees CLASHED. :shock: We were rolling on the ground for a good 5 minutes in agony, haha.
