World Of Swords

My close friend Kyle Bruce observed something unusual when we spoke of a shared friend's battle. "I witnessed a lot of his fights, and when he gets tense, he tries for a takedown every time."

It made me really think something. If you get in danger, you'll generally go back to your primary art (this means a wrestler will try for a double leg takedown, a Thai kick boxer will kick, and also a Jiu-jitsu chap will draw guard.

Our associate in question was in reality winning the struggle up until he attempted a double leg takedown. He was unbeatable on his feet, and had just grabbed the Plumb position and was kneeing the other fighter to submission. He out of the blue got concerned and slipped for his takedown and got caught in submission.

So what is actually your main martial art? You will likely head for it when your in trouble (i.e. your afraid or you are distressed). For this reason you observe a wide number of martial artists keep endeavoring to pull a takedown from nothing when getting beat up. It is behavioral instinct, and it's not actually detrimental, it just is dependent upon the situation.

So prior to deciding to go into any cage, you need to think of what your principal art is and what you could return to in case there is an urgent situation. You must consider all of the possibilities in a battle and mostly you need to know yourself so that you can keep yourself out of tough times, if you shoot for the single leg takedown when you are getting beat up and the other martial artist has jammed your double leg all night... That might not be the most beneficial method, but at least you possibly can prepare another back up method instead of, "oh geez, I'm getting pummeled, I better try the takedown."

So, understand your identity, what your main martial art is, and make a great back up plan of action to help preserve you inside the bad instances. That way, you are not trapped using a bad strategy.
