I agree & I practised martial arts for many years including judo, jui-jistsu & Chinese boxing (not much in the last). Learning how to fall is a wonderful experience, learning how to throw, grapple & wrestle are all wonderful experiences too. I was often partnered with women so as not to use strength but rely on repetitively learned technique (the Japanese way, to make the conscious unconscious in oneself - almost through a physical form of rote learning).
For me "Martial Arts" is & has always been about self defence not this aggressive, S & M, trashy, porno violence notwithstanding the extreme dedication, professionalism & fitness of the participants: It's consenting, glamourized thuggery - but that's my opinion. |
I was thrown in training the other day (we sometimes start standing in BJJ from time to time, but often train starting on the ground) and the instructor said I breakfalled (breakfell?) perfectly at the last second. Didn't even remember doing it, instinct. In BJJ though, drilling is secondary to live rolling; trying to submit your opponent. Most of the class is spent this way. |
What do you mean by "live rolling" ? We used to end the 2-3 hr training with jumping over crouched bodies as part of a tumbling exercise then break-fall & get up on roll be it a left sided or right sided break-fall. Great fun.

Live rolling is full contact, full intensity grappling with all legal submissions available. You grapple until someone taps and then restart.

Sometimes leads to injuries, but is probably the safest 'full contact' sparring available (compared to the likes of Boxing and Kyokushin Karate where sparring can lead to concussions etc).
This happened to me tonight :

haha! I just called it a night, let him know that he wasn't to blame for it (total accident) and next class I'll have another go. Sometimes your opponent is SO strong that your superior technique doesn't mean jack. |

Sorting through a box of assorted books to be taken to the op-shop (if they want them) or thrown out (if they don't) today, I came across one of those self-help things. No idea where it came from. It is called Psychology for effective managers.
Surely, if you are indeed an effective manager, you clearly already know what you need to know about psychology. So why the book? Wouldn't it make more sense to write a book called Psychology for ineffective managers?
(Responses particularly welcome from those amongst us who are in fact managers and have relevant skills. It might be helpful, for example, to hear the views of Mugwamp or Chewy Magpie.

Some of the managers I deal with should start smaller.
Like with a book called "I can dress myself"

I remember a conversation with the manager at Mercedes Benz one grumpy morning after his less than friendly good morning greeting.
Hey Mike, you should chill, sit down with a good book, saw a new one yesterday you might like, "how to win friends and influence people"!
I got a coffee and a sorry!
