    According to a student of his ,Tegner took a few lessons from a french Canadian with limited knowledge of the Charlemont method and Chausson, the bulk of the book is modified karate and his own ideas! There is no T stance in La Boxe Francaise, Savate,Chausson, or Dans La Rue! Also none of the above uses the edge of the foot or the ball of the foot because the arts were designed to be used when wearing boots!

    I think some owners do things to keep students happy and paying without really looking into if those things are something that actually benefit the students and themselves. Also, I think that some instructors have a huge ego and feel like they know everything. You can't teach what you don't know. It's like having your students grapple and not know how to grapple. I've actually seen this in two different schools. What your former instructor did was quite dangerous because their are some really good and properly prepared MMA competitors.

    The submission moves were taken out of amateur wrestling so before this was wrestling just Catch Wrestling? What were the takedowns?

    • @fighting.words.ma.library
      @fighting.words.ma.library 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      What became modern Americal folkstyle/collegiate wrestling was Catch or, more accurately, the modern style is amateur Catch. There were other wrestling styles in North America brought over from Europe. Greco Roman (actually a French style despite its name) was pretty popular as well as some styles brought over from the British Isles, like side-hold wrestling and collar-and-elbow wrestling- in many of these styles, as the names indicate, wrestlers began their match with a specific grip on the opponent's body, while, as the name suggests, in Catch-As-Catch-Can, there was no pre-set grip that was used before the start of the match, so the wrestlers had to "catch" hold of their opponent any way they could.

    This popped up on my recommended list seemingly randomly. Coincidentally, I wrote a review of this book all the way back in 96/97 for a fencing periodical called VFQ. Interesting to hear the perspectives you had. There weren’t any books out back then that I’d call fit for beginners. I compared this book to Nadi’s old treatise “On Fencing” and took a bit of flak for giving it a favorable nod. There were some other books out back then, but even the better ones were a bit opaque if one wasn’t already familiar with the lingo. I think the tongue in cheek view he gives at the beginning of the book is a barely veiled critique of fencing club culture. I remember the author talking about getting some nasty treatment when calling around to clubs. Still a valid criticism today, sadly. Nice video. Hope you do more on fencing.

    I pretty much agree. I'm a huge fan of Geoff, but on revision this book left something to be desired. I think it works best (as you say) if you already have some knowledge and want to know which throws/sweeps have the highest success rate outside a night club, as opposed to on a mat. I can't remember if it's my copy of Judo or one of the other in the series, but aside from the misspelling of some moves, there is a totally blank page in the middle of the book.

    The most common origin story that I've seen for the 'most fights go to the ground', is that the Gracies found the statement in a police report and used it to help sell their ground focused system. However, the story continues that the quote was taken out of context. Supposedly the police report was referring to arresting/cuffing techniques wherein an object surface (car hood, wall, etc) was used as an aid. But the ground is always present (Gods help you if it isn't), even when cars and walls aren't. Plus the added bonus of getting the perp off their feet. So cops took most perps down to the ground. But the quote, in context or out, worked, and still haunts dojos everywhere.
