Hey, just wanted to put my input on the whole tiddy sleeve thing. My LGS actually banned two dudes last night at FNM because they were told countless times not to bring that shit into the store.

Awesome! Glad to hear your LGS is taking a stand to make people feel more comfortable! =3

Hello! I was wondering if there was a martial art that is a combination of striking like Muay Thai and grappling and throwing like Judo?

The one modern martial art in which you’ll find all three aspects that you mentioned, specifically with Muay Thai for striking and Judo for throws, with their grappling heavily focused on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, is Mixed Martial Arts.

Finding a style that has all three aspects now a days is very difficult, but styles that do have two or all three of these aspects, along with some others are: Karate, Krav Maga, Aikijutsu, Angampora, Shorin Ryu Kenpo, Shorinji Kenpo, Kuk Sool Won, Pankration, among others.

Or at least they should. Now-a-days, most styles are very watered down and focus on regulated competition. For this reason, many styles focus on what they do specifically for competing, rather than what the “traditional” style did.

Karate, for example, has a myriad of striking, throwing and grappling techniques, along with Tuite (joint locking, pain inducing and controlling techniques), pressure points, Koppojutsu (bone breaking), weapons, etc.

But with heavy regulations as these martial arts became martial sports, they slowly started banning many techniques, and so, many schools don’t even practice them anymore, hence why I say it’s very difficult to find a more complete style.

You can always, if time and wallet allows, cross train specialties, say, focusing on what’s most important to you, and then cross training in other styles to compliment. For example, Muay Thai as a main art, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu as a secondary, and then say once a week, or on a seminar basis, do Judo as an in between of the two.

A lot of people now a days cross train for that very reason, so that’s always an option.

Hi! I've been very interested in martial arts for a long time now but have never done anything except a wrestling in high school. I've been looking into doing Muay Thai but have concerns. I'm a very large person. 6'5" and over 350lbs I'm in a good shape though and am very physically fit. But I'm worried that if I go somewhere and take classes I'll have to drill by myself as there would be no one my size. Is that a problem with all martial arts or just wrestling?

Don’t let this stop you, friend. Go visit a few schools, see what they have to offer. Talk to the teachers, tell them your concerns. There shouldn’t be a problem.

The only thing that might make it a problem is if the school is very heavily focused on little more than competing, especially when they focus a lot on weight classes, but these are more your typical “modern” martial arts gyms, and that’s exactly why you should visit some schools, weight your options, see what the teachers have to say.

Don’t stop yourself, because you think you can’t.

There have been very tall people at my school, we’ve never had a problem, everyone would partner up with them for drills and sparring. I’ve been to other schools, same thing.

One of tymeforgotten‘s teachers is 7 feet tall, and of course, he participates in every aspect of training, so size is nothing.

Just gotta look around and find the right place. =]

Once upon a time...

There was a pretty princess who lived in a castle. She had lots of dresses. She had a pink dress, a blue dress, a turquoise dress, and that periwinkle bullshit. Each dress had a superpower, and then she went to bed. The end.
