Saw the writing on the wall that he'd be playing VFL. Our backline is just too strong ;)
All the best to him. Very strange timing but I guess he's gotten into the pre season and realized his heart wasn't in it.
I've only read the last two pages of this thread but have seen two people that are posting articles and evidence to support their claims and then two people on the other side of the argument saying "its bullshit" without actually supporting the stance with any evidence and one of them outright...
Has there been a senior indigenous coach?
Would be great if we could lead the AFL there too (after the first female President). Maybe have a succession plan for a few years down the track.
Would complete our turnaround in terms of our indigenous culture too. From being one of the worst in the...
This guy Woota has so clearly NEVER done any kind of grappling training.
Reckons he worked security at multiple clubs but never saw guys grope women but saw plenty of sexual assaults of women on men AND reckons he's trained BJJ but doesn't see how it could help someone fight off a bigger...
I legit think everybody should learn to fight. You’d see WAY less violence out there if you knew that everyone could defend themselves. It’s also great for building character, self esteem and humbling you. Every kid should do it.
When I have kids I’ll be getting them into either bjj or judo...
I spent three months in Thailand at the start of the year and in the clinch I was getting thrown around by 50 year old guys and 5’2 thais. Im 185cm and they’d do it to guys bigger and stronger than me too.
The worst is school kids that make you look foolish haha.
They’ve talked about this on the My Favourite Murder podcast. It’s so ****ed up. They’ve done some things to raise money for it to help clear the backlog.
It’s just so crazy that cops back in the day didn’t do the most basic aspects of their job. The amount of people that could have been...
Meth is going to make just about anyone invincible. Better than having a knife haha.
The level they would need to be at would just depend on the person attacking. But we can disagree on where the line is for where size beats skill. But i can assure you it isn’t as high as you think. Step into...
No that’s absolutely not what’s I’m saying and you are deliberately interpreting what I’m saying wrong.
I said that training can help you overcome a size and strength advantage. But I said it’s just one of the variables that go into determining the result of a fight/attack. So even with my...
Are you deliberately misrepresenting what I’m saying?
In response to Taylor saying the only thing that could help a woman against a man who wanted to hurt her was running or a gun, I said that martial arts, especially judo and bjj would help her defend herself against a bigger opponent. Then...
And Ronda went to s**t because she tried striking when her striking skills were awful. She tried to go toe to toe with a world champion kick boxer. Not because judo or bjj itself is useless.
This is about self defence, not fighting someone 1v1 at a bar. Or ‘taking it outside’ cos someone has said the wrong thing.
It’s about someone being set upon as they walk home, or whatever the scenario is.
Ever watched ufc 1 I think it was? Where Royce Gracie ragdolled Ken Shamrock who was...
You really have no idea.
If he grabs her she is going to be able to rag doll him. People wear clothes, if he’s wearing a jacket she will be able to do literally anything she wants to him. If she’s on the street and someone tried to grab her they are going to end up face first on the concrete...
This top part is true of any martial art. Yes against multiple attackers you want to stay in your feet so a striking art is best but you’re pretty much ****ed no matter what if multiple people are genuinely trying to hurt you. You’ve got to be extremely proficient to get out of that situation...
When I provided something peer reviewed you dismissed it as “just a bunch of scientists who agree with each other”
It’s almost as if nothing is good enough evidence.
No one is saying she should square up. The best form of self defence is ALWAYS run and anyone who tells you anything different has nfi what they are talking about.
But it’s a just a fact that women (and men) who train martial arts are going to be able to negate a discrepancy in size and...
The point is that that’s her training is negating his size and strength advantage.
You think she’s couldn’t do that in the real world? Grab someone who knows judo and see how long you last. Concrete hurts a lot more than a mat. You’ll be lucky to wake up.
This is a video of a 105lbs female black belt rolling with a 170lbs male purple belt. That’s one belt apart. And he can’t do anything to her.
So yeah, if some random guy on the street grabs her she’s going to be able to defend herself. Unless of course he hits her from behind across the head...
