https://www.thearma.org/Manuals/Passchen/Passchen.htm German wrestling, known as "Ringen" Especially interesting to note is the subdividing of the body in weak/half/strong parts and leveraging these to counter holds. ex: "When you try to break free from a hold, you must usually apply the Half-Strong of your arm to the Weak of your Adversarii." Also of note is that unlike many modern grappling styles, striking is allowed (this is not the case in modern versions of this, as practiced by HEMA practicioners), as are stomps (nr 38) and throat crushes (nr 37). At the end there is an explanation about how to do a double leg takedown, but this is quite different from the one we are used to, as in our modern martial arts we are more likely to "run through" the adversary, as to get him on his back, but here (probably due to the rules) they actually do more of a suplex type takedown with it, by tossing them over their head.

In Brazilian Jiu Jutsu they often say: Position before submission. The same counts for ground and pound. If you just start tapping your opponent with a flurry of taps... You're not doing that much damage. It's a difficult balance to find, but you want just enough control of the position, to load up and fire a big shot to your opponent. Or so jukuchou told us for Tatsujin fighting rules. Anyone any experience with this? Agree or disagree?

Here you have me helping out Mak Anatpong Bunrad with some light sparring in 2017 for a fight preparation in One FC. Training was here in Brussels, as he actually lives in Belgium. His background is mostly Shihaishinkai karate. Don’t get fooled by social media. Most good sparring is light. But that doesn’t get much views. So they go hard in front of the camera. Train smart.

@Jorge Gonzalez started working on your request. Low kick course is being made. And there a lot of types if I think 🤔 about it

So Brent's last fight, he had his pro debut under the Tatsujin ruleset. What is allowed? - Punches, including hammer fists, - kicks, - knees - clinching for 10 seconds - kubi sumo including throws - ground and pound for 10 seconds What isn't allowed? - elbows - soccer kicks - shooting for takedowns - stomping a downed opponent This way Tatsujin is a bit closer to real street fighting than pure kickboxing. It adds in grappling in an appropriate amount, because in combat sports it's easy to lose sight on what works on the concrete and have one aspect of the puzzle dominate because of the ruleset. Think of it this way: - You wouldn't take an attacker down if there's a second one ready to stomp your head. - You wouldn't get up close against a stronger or armed opponent. So you shouldn't only rely on grappling arts for martial arts. And you should incorporate striking in your grappling.
