the only martial art ive tried as an adult was a half year of poekoelan (indonesian, brought to america by some weird dutch assassin dude) before i moved to a state that didnt have a poekoelan presence and gave it up. it was cool and fun even tho its a little silly with all the animal-inspired moves and such. man do i know how to take a hit and a fall now tho



it would be cool to be an rl poekoeman master

yeah crow the geneology's there. poekoelan is pencak silat with chinese influences, as interpreted by a dutch dude. i never got far enough to learn the weapons stuff but part of the thing that attracted me to the school was they advertised bo staff fighting like you see in that video which has always seemed like it would be hella fun to me. lotta sword stuff too, which is fun to watch. speaking of which there was a youtube of some eskrima master catching a sword with his bare hands which is awesome but i can't find it. eskrima is cool because all the videos of it ive seen are little pudgy old filipino dudes beating on their students

tpaine i only studied if for like five months and they focus on the falling down and getting your ass beat stuff first when you're a beginner which is pretty logical if you think about it. my first couple lessons were pretty much entirely learning how to fall in various ways without hurting myself

one of the selling points they always harp on is that poekoelan is supposedly one of the few martial arts with a "full ground combat system" - by which they mean what you do when some dude fucking lays you out and you have to keep him from killing you before you can get back on your feet

the most ideologically correct martial art is paramilitary training in light arms and guerilla tactics by an anti-imperialist nation-state

a wrestler who knows how to defend himself against submissions can generally dominate a person trained in almost any other type of ground combat...



yeah but that's like saying "this high school dropout (who incidentally went back to school and graduated)." wrestling obv rules from the feet but most of the instincts that wrestling instills in you for the ground are the opposite of good submission grappling

what was "bridging out of back exposure" to prevent a pin becomes "giving up the back," which is where you are defenseless against a variety of painful things. the wrestling emphasis on constant attack (folkstyle, anyway, in this case) only magnifies this danger from the bottom. pretty much the entire wrestling game from top, folkstyle and freestyle and greco, is useless against a grappler because it involves trying to transition from a position of vulnerability for our hypothetical anti-wrestler grappler- hir back to the opponent- to a position that's notably to hir comparative advantage. in a wrestling match this is beaucoup points, but against a grappler you're basically throwing yourself into guard or a scramble, which is where bad things happen if you aren't used to them. This is a problem for wrestlers from the feet, too- a flawless double leg can get you into trouble once it lands.


This post is informative, not creative, and humorless

wrestling is a very intelligent martial art you just have jock-shock syndrome from being a huge nerd in high school lol

jock-shock i just made that up its the thing that all the people on the internet have where they are smugly vocal about not liking sports - in the case of 'leftists' on the internet somehow tying the fact that their puny feeble frame is not capable of participating in rigorous physical activity to some thing they made up about sports reinforcing national brutish fascism and chauvenism or w/e (except maybe "football," which is more intelligent bc europeans do it and no soccer players beat them up in junior high)

thank you for coming to wrasslins defense tho. your reward: the tears of a misunderstood sensitive 171 pounder, wearing a jockstrap, crying into your shoulder (he needs to lose a little more moisture for his weight cut).
