The distaste for strength in martial arts

[Kung Fu Wang]

The problem is if you are physically strong you may not seek good timing or mechanical advantage.

And then you have to be stronger than everyone you go up against for any of your stuff to work. Which is a weakness.

If your "hear hug" is strong enough to squeeze your opponent to death, what else do you need?

I still occasionally hear people ask why we spend so much time warming up. They'll learn one day!

That's the truth. I need that old car warm up. I can't just turn the switch and drive lol. Gotta do that "preflight check" lol

 

[Kung Fu Wang]

I still occasionally hear people ask why we spend so much time warming up. They'll learn one day! The place I'm training at at the moment I always show up early to do some extra warm up and mobility work to make sure I'm ready to go.

I always wonder, if I always do warm up before serious work out, what will happen if I have to get into a fight studently when I won't have any time to do my warmup?

That's my second worst martial arts nightmare, right after getting jumped after a harsh weight session.

The line between hard training and readiness is important. Hopefully if I'm ever mugged, it'll be on recovery day that I've had at least one decent carbohydrate.

Geez, I hope you're not as bad as my pitbull.

“The pitbull”. Right.

You'll probably will be fine and the adrenaline will make things easier for you while you are fighting. I can't promise what the next day will bring, but I'm sure you'll feel it.

The good news about your question is that it applies to your attacker as well, unless he did his warm up before attacking you.

This is why I have always believed that we should reserve 25% energy to prepare for the unexpected. It's a bad idea that we get totally exhausted through work out.

I rather deal with not having a pre fight warm up than to deal with trying to fight on Empty I've done that before and it's a no win situation.

If I had a plan to jump someone, I'd absolutely be doing some stretching and light warm up beforehand. If for nothing else than to relieve some boredom and tension.

I'm also probably not the normal attacker in these situations though.

That's my real fear. Whenever I'm out running, In the last bit I wonder how screwed I'd be if someone were to attack me right then.

This just remind me one day I hiked in a national park in Alaska. I walked on the ice surface. Suddenly I lost my footing and I got into a forward and backward split on the ice surface. I didn't know that I could do that without any warm up.

ha ha ha.. you would be screwed. I almost had a fight with someone like that. He had been running and I was pretty much fresh. He backed down.

Is this against weaker or stronger opponents?

Assume you can use your bear hug to squeeze everybody to death on this planet.

 

[isshinryuronin]

It's possible, but certainly not inevitable. If the force scales at the same rate the mass scales, you'd have a net change of 0. If the mass scales faster, change is negative. If force scales faster, change is positive.

I'm positive I have negative understanding of mechanical engineering/physics.

 

[Unkogami]

Haven't you ever gassed out? It's pretty similar to feeling dead.

I've felt both. Not very similar.

 

[Unkogami]

I think we should consider the ridiculously high price of gas these days.

Don't save anything while training or you'll lack something when you really need it.

Have been knocked out or put to sleep then? When I say dead I'm being relative, not literally dead.

Wait, you've been literally dead???

I like your style. $4.00 where I live. It's it's that high here then I know everyone else is about 2 steps from taking out a loan for gas.

It will get worse before it will get better. Normally I would be upset, but this time I don't mind as much. I like some of the new electric cars coming out. I think the mileage is a rip compared to some of the other cars that are out there, but I'm looking for a future investment once there is more competition.
