Thats why sparring against non-MA guys is a staple in my training.

Just curious how is it exactly you go about sparring against non-MA guys?

EvilScott pays the homeless $20 to fight him.

dont we all :P

Nah seriously though, id like to know how you do that (hey mr, wanna fight? ok son, $20, sure why not )

[The BadBoy]

Easily done, Get someone who doesn't train in MA's but doesn't mind sparring with you. I've done it a few times.

Actually it reminds me of a killer sparring session I had with a lad who didnt know how to box at all, he landed about 20 shots on my face simply because his style (well it wasnt even a style, just unpredictable random haymakers flying at me every so often) was so unorthodox I couldnt really box him, anyway in the end I decided not to try and pick him off but instead go aggresive with him, I pinned him up against the ropes and fired some solid shots at him which worked because as an untrained fighter he didnt know how to handle aggression.

Anyway, sorry about that guys back to the discussion.....

My roomies and their friends. I share with people that I am a MAist and they say they just are a natural brawler. I invite them to spar sometimes and they occassionally take me up on it. My roomies (I have 3 of em - 2 of them don't train, the third trains with me but fights much differently) are always willing to throw down too.

20$ for homeless is effective too.

Lol, at natural brawlers? These IMO is people who can't fight for crap, They usually throw off punches and kicks unless they took up a martial art and proclaimed themselves a so called "Natural Brawler".

you dont really need that just work on speed. also ive found train wit a grappler wit te MT kicks as they will grab for your legs. so thats what ive found. its good to as it will help you learn to combat against a grapplers parry, so then you get in to you ground game.

try it. you know to get better when you on the floor on your back

a note is tat te fight from friday? shit is tat how it ended? i knew tat cucks punch power would provail.

And like Creative said, a full force round kick is pretty devastating if you aren't prepared for it. But a lot of times in a street fight you are so nervous that each leg feels like its 100 lbs.

Yes very true about your whole body feels like 1000lbs and you can't move in my experience I hate this. how can you stop this?
