What do you think about this as an essential part of martial arts training? Some styles really don't teach it in any significant amount.
I think it is essential to know some medical and biological information about the human body as it helps u indicate vital strking and tripping points... eg: this bone locks here, twisting this other bone into place, thus throwing the opponant head over *...
Ideas?

I train about body mechanics as much as possible. Not so much vital striking points, but leverage points. It really helps when you are trying to get a person off-balance or to throw them. It is a crucial thing to know if you want to be successful at fighting.

Absolutely. I have found that i can just make up my own locking techniques and stuff cos i know what happens if something is twisted this way or that way... I didn't do BJJ for very long so i've had to learn from people who have done more than me. It's a fun thing to know if u've got a pain in the * brother too!

| My sensei doesn't really teach that much, but it has got me interested. Now I'm upset. I really think that kind of knowledge could be extremely useful. 'Knowing' why something works is ultimately superiour to just accepting it. As Angus says, I imagine it would allow you to more easily come up with your own holds and locks... |

There really is no end to its usefulness... I just thought about it cos i just saw Best of the Best 4, and there was a scene right at the end where Phil Rhee is practicing these locks and throws on these dudes...
The stick fighting scene was phenomenal!

The stick fighting in Best of the Best 4 is Kali. Pretty awesome huh?
Anyway, to learn why something works is awesome, with the learning of the concepts, the techniques themselves become easier to do and you will learn more technique because the concept is already there. I teach concepts first, then technique. There are many moves which I have made up that work, just to find out that someone else already made up the move, but still it shows how important concept is.

Yep, i just find it amazing that there are schools out there (professional schools, not McDojo's) that don't teach body mechanics and concepts of defense etc..... Sure some people do it for the art, but still, u should learn to defend yourself adequately while participating in the artistic side of it...
I wish there was a place to do Kali here!
