As an after thought...
I don't really consider most of what is going on today in the MMA community to be advancements. It is more like rearranging the pieces that already exist. The Gracies showed up and dominated the scene. Then others started incorporating grappling into their training and suddenly the Gracies aren't as dominant as they once were. Is this an advancement or just rounding out skill sets?
Maybe I'm misunderstanding how you are using the term advancement.it's all young and fun and skiing and then one day you login and it's relationship advice, gomer glacier tours and geezers.

Personally, Ive splashed two blackbelts. One I caught in mid air, the other I gouged his eye balls out when he locked me up and went for a leg sweep.
But some say I am crazy.

A 'black belt' is a subjective award and it's merit completely depends on the school. There are many belt factories out there, and as long as you pay your monthly dues for a couple years you'll 'earn' your black belt. These school exist in BJJ as well since all the cool UFC fighters do it. Some schools just want to make a buck.
I've concluded that DJSapp was never DJSapp, and Not DJSapp is also not DJSapp, so that means he's telling the truth now and he was lying before.

All right, I'll be fair.
He had 17 sierra nevada's in him, and he was my former brother in law. PLus his father is an eye surgeon, so trying to blind him caught him a little off guard.
Right now he is still stiring about it all some where in WI. If I only I was sober he was saying. he he he

BJJ is very new compared to other martial arts that have been in the US for decades. I'm sure eventually you are going to see some undeserving black belts. Right now the BJJ community is very close knit and has a strong emphasis on lineage and competition. Everyone knows who gave everyone else their black belt. You would not get a black belt if you didn't earn it.
You can't even earn a blue belt (the second belt for adults), until you are 16.

The Science Behind Bruce Lees Punching Power
May 27, 2014
The mighty one-inch punch does not rely solely on a quick arm but rather on Lees entire body. Jessica Rose, a biomechanical researcher at Stanford University, told Popular Mechanics that the force behind the fist starts with Lees equally deadly legs.
When watching the one-inch punch, you can see that his leading and trailing legs straighten with a rapid, explosive knee extension, Rose says. The quick preceding leg movement allows Lee to torque his hips with more power, and the hip twist allows him to turn his upper body that much faster. By the millisecond that Lee is actually using his shoulder to throw his hand forward, the strength of multiple muscle groups is already engaged. Flicking his wrist just prior to impact may further increase the fist velocity, said Rose.

I've been training Wu Ying Tao, Modern Arnis, and Arnis Jitsu since last winter and train all three 2-3 days a week. Modern Arnis is my favorite, though Arnis Jitsu is growing on me quite a bit. I training Shotokan throughout college, but couldn't find that style since. Wu Ying Tao is much different from Shotokan down to the stance.

Nah, you misunderstand. I train on a daily basis but rarely talk about this stuff to anyone outside my school. So when that article from Nerdist showed up on my facebook news feed earlier today, with the biomechanical researcher describing chan si ging almost word for word as I had here, I remembered this thread and posted the article.

I've been researching Defendu lately. Historical research. Don't suppose anyone teaches that today. Any input appreciated.
