🧵 Creating my own martial art
Anonymous at Wed, 7 Jun 2023 04:28:54 UTC No. 150296
I'm creating my own martial art based around grip fighting and standing locks/chokes. I'm gonna call it, American Boa Fighting or ABF. Here's the premise:
>Objective:
-One of the men must successfully snatch one of the following: The wrist, elbow, shoulder, neck, knee, ankle, foot, hand with a powerful grip. They must fight to completely control that appendage by either locking or choking it to the point were the receiving opponent either taps or is render physically unfit to continue fighting.
>Rules:
-Two men in respective MMA or other non-loose clothing enter onto a mat. Clothing that are loose-fitting in nature such as a traditional Jiu-Jitsu Gi or other Gi is prohibited. No gloves or footwear are allowed.
-Striking is relatively prohibited as well as takedowns; neither fighter can punch, kick, elbow, heel strike, blade strike, knee, throw, etc. The only striking that can be accepted is grip breaking such as slapping down a hand or blocking a potential grab, Choking is permitted however and is encouraged as one of the techniques for winning.
-The following techniques are allowed: Any joint locks or blood/air chokes.
-Fighters fight 3 rounds, all rounds are untimed and are finished once either fighter wins.
>Stance:
-The standard, orthodox fighting stance is similar to that of a Thai Boxing stance. The difference is that in ABF, a fighter's arms are more clenched with the elbows pressed into the fighter's abdomen. The hands are open for grappling instead of closed into a fist. In typical fighter stance, the left leg and arm is front while the right leg and arm are back. The fighter must shoot his hand out to grab the other fighter's chosen appendage.

So just submission grappling with no takedowns?

Pretty much, but with little-to-no groundwork.

What you described is not a martial art but a tournament structure. Good job.

Standing joint locks are usually dog shit (excluding kimuras and that one judo move where you spastically snap someone's elbow). Even then those can only be set up through the threat/attempt of a take down.
Anon I don't know what your goal was here other than autism, but it is pretty retarded.

I was gonna say it looks like skills development sparring, but yeah.

This could work, as long as you can simulate and train live with it to some degree. Go to some grappling or MMA gym and tell them that you just want to practice grip fighting, parries, some locks and some blocking.

If you used something like shuai jiao uniforms you could have interesting collar chokes without the long sleeve making grip fighting too boring.

I think if palm strikes allowed it could be pretty neat
