🧵 Absolute MUST techniques in martial arts

>Jab + cross
>single leg
>sprawl
>guard up
>head movement
>rear naked choke
If you lack ANY of those you're nothing but a untrained guy that don't know jackshit
Why do so many martial arts and fighting sports disconsider those essencial moves that happen in 99% of fights 99% of the time?? this should be the ground for everything in martial arts

I think you got it, the only thing maybe missing is a front kick, but that’s already pretty intuitive

a front kick is not a absolute MUST at all brah
you can spend your whole carrer as a pro and never throw a single front kick and without even bother to defend against it as well
but you can't fight even as a whitebelt without those moves I mentioned in the thread

inb4 "blocks don't work" those aren't meant to work to directly stop, merely redirect and grab onto the enemy
>>147746
A side kick to an enemy's rib is more effective or a front kick to the enemy's knee cap you are thinking front kick only applies to toe kicks when they are separate entities, toe and heel kicks serve different purposes.

>no proper stance and footwork
You might forget because it's too obvious
>no hook
Ngmi. Without it your boxing will be totally one dimentional.
>no low kicks and checks
This may not be as bad as the previous 2 but it's very useful
>no double leg
I think that if you learn single leg, it's just rational to learn double leg because it's similar and it's useful too
>no clinch
Even if you aren't going to clinch, you should at least learn some basic attacks from clinch to know what to do if your opponent starts clinching
Maybe not as necessary as all the previous ones but also worth mention:
>uppercut
>overhand right
>front kick and/or side kick
>guillotine choke

the main problem with karate is translating uke as block and it's not, uke is receiving, this is an important distinction
when you're just practicing kata against nobody the way so many do, they would interpret these blocks as an interception that meets force with force in a collision.
I'll use the low block for example. Does anyone believe you're going to stop a roundhouse with your forearm?
the purpose of that move is to receive technique and parry it to create a side angle, very commonly seen in kickboxing techniques where they push the kick through instead of trying to resist it head on.
that's the biggest problem with karate. People practice moves in the air and don't even know what the moves are supposed be.

Seriously? Those are some of the most common techniques there are. Some of that shit is so vague it is practically meaningless without further description, like "guard up," I feel like you're a poser trying to come across as insightful but this is retarded remedial shit.

You should have multiple combos memorized. Assign numbers to your strikes. Jab1, cross 2, hook 3, uppercut4, hammerfist5, elbow6, etc. Then get yourself some dice and roll'em. Use that to throw out random shit & do it till it's smooth.

if you want to be unbeatable, just train 100m and 400m run
honorable mentions to every move you can reliable do in ice. if you can't don't try it on concrete.

good ones there brah
I was meaning to speak about absolute MUST only
I understand that only having two punches jab and cross without a hook makes your boxing weaker but the point here is like I said the ABSOLUTE MUST so I didn't put them in there
>no low kicks and checks
They are very good and very effective, but to be honest, not absolutely necessary
>no double leg
I agree, they're the same, I was thinking about puting double leg instead of single leg but I wanted to keep the list to a minimum
>no clinch
very very usefull and good indeed, I would put it as absolute must, sometimes the only scape is that and it is almost certain that you'll need that

I feel like that is an absolute must. None of the things you listed by themselves do anything. I'm disagreeing with you. Your idea of "absolute must" isn't just basic, its remedial. Children in McDojos know as much as you listed. There is soo much more that you absolutely must have to just not suck.

Learn how to escape from the ground and a reversal choke
Go for the throat and worry about winning instead of how you want to win.

Not a big kicker.

Hooks are better, throwing your body weight with rotation towards one of the thinnest points of the skull is way more effective than trying to break someone's nose or breaking your knuckle on their forehead.

Issue here is that you are trying to define "must haves" as basic shit. That's not how that concept works. "Must haves," are supposed to be the most supreme crux techniques, not basic shit covered in any self-defense class on day one.

It's contextual. But the implication of a "must have" list is that the things on it are, rare and/or underappreciated.
>If you lack ANY of those you're nothing but a untrained guy that don't know jackshit
This shit, right here, is implying that anything he listed is a revelation somehow, but they aint.
>Jab + cross
Day 1 Boxing
>single leg
Day 1 BJJ/Judo(depending on rulesets)
>sprawl
Day 1 wrestling
>guard up
Day 1 fucking anything
>head movement
Day 1 any striking style
>rear naked choke
Day 1 any submission style
All of these "must haves" are some of the very first things we're taught.

yes and yet most of guys don't know how to use it properly ...
day one stuff is the most important and it is used 99% of the time in 99% of the fights
that is why it is a must have
some dudes reach the top with just that and no other skill
who gives a fuck it is day 1, no martial art style alone incorporate all of those basic techniques that's why most guys suck
ppl usualy just do one martial art and that's it
I am not implying this is a revelation, I am just stating that they are a the absolute basic and if you lack any of that you don't know how to fight, you're the one implying I said shit I didn't, stop projecting brah

almost all fighters train to compete in their respective fighting sport so It is just normal to meet pure karatekas, pure taekwondo guys, pure judo or jiujitsu
MMA dudes are the minority or I would say just another brench of fightign sport that is small in comparison with the total sum of all others

Starting to make sense why your concept of "must have," is so basic. Did you just start out or something? Sounds like whatever classes you're taking aren't very advanced.
>guys that are muay thai only, guys that are boxing only, guys that are jiujitsu only
>they're the majority
So according to you, everyone one of those practitioners isn't trained & doesn't know jackshit.

One of the number 1 biggest complaints we see on this board is how hard it is to find a gym for the style you want because it's nothing but hybrid MMA type stuff nowadays. Name a premier fighting promoter that's only one style. MMA is where all serious fighters end up. It is the new majority. Cope.

This is true, I used to for the UFC gym corporate. I'm speaking from a corporate stand point not a franchise stand point but I'd imagine franchises are even worse
The instructors were actually legitimate with a lot of experience but the classes were not
BJJ classes were 50 minutes long, lessons came out of a binder, 1/3 if that was warm ups like running in circles, shrimping, and rolling down the mat
Then the 2 techniques are whatever the book says for that day, and the two or three 3 minute rolls at the end.
Promotions were 100% completely time and attendance based
Stripe for white belt every 3 months, and coloreds every 6 as long as you met the average 2.5 classes per week per quarter.
So you could be the proud owner of a bjj black belt in only 7 years by training 2 hours a week (90 minutes if you dont count warm ups)
And the striking classes were definitely a good cardio workout but it was the same kind of thing except instead of showing techniques you just yelled out combinations on the bag
At least they were useful for conditioning because striking is inherently more demanding than bjj.
But I will tell you one time there were no boxing teacher is available because of a scheduling conflict and I covered a boxing class, I have never formally taken a boxing lesson in my life, I don't think even done a single round of pure boxing sparring. Same with muay thai. For boxing I just omitted kicking from the combos and for muay thai I just added some elbows and knees to them, nobody knew the difference.

Define sparring. Because practicing your 1-2-3-2-1 combo for 20 minutes with occasional burpees thrown in between isn't sparring.

Is correct, cardio circuit of hitting hand mittens with targets on them with low intensity isn't sparring.

start fighting only after it is the only thing you can do
first thing on the list is to just leave
and it should be the basis for every action when in a fight
also if you can't do some move on ice, it is not viable on concrete either

Are you one of those don't kick in street fight fags? Because that always comes across to me as someone that has never actually thrown a kick in their life
I've thrown thousands of kicks and slipped exactly one time and that one time was when I was deliberately trying to kick as high as I could flew too close to the sun
The reason that I even remember it is because it was such an unusual thing that it was worth remembering

I am retarded in a sense that I cannot trust the ground that I walk on or my muscles to work optimally in every possible situation at every possible time.
But I can trust the few techniques that do not require very specific circumstances for them to work.
Also ground is slippery or frozen in my country most of the time.
If your performance art requires optimal circumstances, it isn't worth shit on the street.
