it looks cool and all if you wana or have to fight on the inside and exchange but i prefer to stay on the outside and sniper with speed, angles, and most important footwork. Siva is a great boxer/kick boxer with great foot work, thats why he woops ass. not to put a rain on your game but it would be easy for me to pick off someone with this style, I just cant grasp the idea of blocking with your hands? I like the idea of not getting hit at all alike Silva
Love the push ups. But moving your hands like in wing chun is wasting energy a bit to much. I believe that every hit needs to count else your wasting energy. And energy is very important in a fight. Also bobing with your head down is a NO NO in a street fight. One knee and it is lights out.
Ages ago, in a Brooklyn Prison, Sifu Master Chin Chin sat in a cell creating a style that would prevent his homosexual lover, Long Dong, from forcing sex on him when he wasn't in the mood. Chin Chin studied the movements of the cockroach, the rats, and the floating 2 day old turd in the toilet to create a style powerful enough to take on 5 guys with hard ons at once. He called this style 52 blocks after the minutes it took him to make the style. Unfortunately, he died of an outstretched anus.
Why don't you prove to yourself (first) your style is worthy of mainstream recognition by doing what all the greats did in the past and that is to challenge other styles of Martial Arts.
@FarisiDaniel well it looks like Wing Chun which I like. In actuality,all martial arts have something to offer. Most people can't throw a punch correctly so if you study any martial art,you have the upper hand on the population.
@muclesmarinara I can see that however, our intent is a little different. other arts that fall into this close quarter family are Silat and Kali. 52 may not stand alone but it has it own timing and rhythm that will allow it its own expression. And I agree about the population. thank you for your comments peace
@quinony how so 52 is nothing like wing chung ok granted one can look at a block or cross hands and say that was taken from wc, to do so would mean that everyone looks the same as wc would be the core of 52 it's not thus other look different, two 52 does not focus on a centerlin and deals with more than straight punches, and furthermore our style of boxing predate wc in nyc by more than 100 years so sorry if its poor it's not suppose to be wc it's 52 and it does just fine peace
@quinony - Wing Chun is a poor version of Xing Yi. :P
Personally I like 52 blocks style (and WC, so don't get your panties all twisted). It's much better hand technique than most street fighters would show. Unfortunately I don't see a lot of real footwork, not much sticking and following, too much emphasis on athletic ability, and far too many openings. But then again, I've only seen what's online. Who knows what the real 52 masters out there do?
@jmacatx the footwork is not simple which is why its not posted. if you watched the bum rush you would see how rapid we close the gap while shielding. no need to stick and flow as we are hitting, yes you have to have athletic ability, as for the openings no one will attack unless they see one. There are no Masters just some really good fighters. Peace
@FarisiDaniel - thanks for the reply. About sticking and following - if you look at how Xing Yi incorporates sticking and redirecting WHILE moving forward to strike, you'll see what I mean. Actually real Taiji and Bagua does that too - you don't really move backwards, you might take a backwards step while moving forward - but it's more obvious in Xing Yi because the attitude there is like MACK TRUCK, GTFO THE WAY! Anyway, love what I've seen of the 52, thanks for sharing the knowledge.
good shit. but i don't see why they should give a shit about being recognized...
boys, just do what you do. 52 seems like it's about being stuck in a fucking stairwell with some dude who's trying to get you - nothing else. recognition won't help you there....
recognition is overrated, and any good martial artist recognizes/respects a good fighter when they see one. my 2 cents.
@mcul2112 i think it is because they want there art to be integrated in MMA. so many styles are seen as good to be used in MMA that the art of 52 Blocks want to be on that stage too. it is what any style wants to stirve for. to be recognized by the world.
@pugghead funny that you had no comments when he was winning only his lost. well now how do you count the fact that he's a winner. thank you and its stanky legs
@FarisiDaniel have you even seen rashad last 2 fights?? ever since he got brutally KTFO by machida all he does is LnP, cause he's two scared to stand up and fight.
@pugghead bruh all knock outs are brutal the brain gets rocked, so I missed your point same thing happen to Machida. as for Rashad using 52 he hasn't used it in his stand up. but it comes out like the right hand he nailed jackson with. it's more than you think and you have to train with it. winning means another check losing means a career change. what ever it takes peace
@FarisiDaniel dude, I not knocking the 52 blocks style... Im just saying Rashad is more of a ground fighter, he's gone back to being a wrestler after the machida fight. He doesn't have good standup defense and during the last moments of both his fight against (a unfit) Rampage and Thiago Silva, he stood and both times they rocked him and nearly knocked him out -
If you wanted a MMA fighter to represent a similar style to 52 blocks Im would suggest Rampage Jackson or Randy Couture.
@pugghead It's ok to knock it, but to say Rashad sucks because of it is not true. I worked with Him before the UFC. His stand up is for the UFC so that he can wrestle. but that's is strong suit not boxing. and you're right both of those fights could have ended badly for him, but you don't to block to do 52 you can slip evade and boogie from the ground up. I like your suggest we have a few young dudes coming through so enough peace
I'm a practitioner of Wing Chun Kung Fu. I've also done boxing in the past. I find this very interesting. I see elements of both arts in this 52 Block system along with some other techniques I'm not familiar with.I think it goes to show you the importance of universal movement. People from different continents who never met each other still fight in a similar way. 2 arms, 2 legs, 2 fists, 2 feet, 2 elbows, how many ways can you really move effectively?
see i stopped studying martial arts but started studying myself cause doing patterns and stuff does not work. i just see moves that i think are practical and self teach myself by doing it over and over and adding it to my basis of kickboxing and tai chi. cause in a fight if you just go by structure and doing everything like its scripted you will get k.o. the best way is to have no structure just react on movements and what your comfortable with
To me from my point of view 52 waste a lot energy making a lot of movements. It's good for a young dude but as you get older you cant move like a youngin anymore. So if your young and fast you can get away with a lot of the moves 52 makes. But to me the hand movements are a little excessive and have loop holes. So if you fight a guy with good timing and speed you could be getting tag a lot . But in the end hey whatever works use it.
@kungfuspic at a glance that's true, a young mans art, and lots of movement. once understood it becomes a chest match where the true skill is in the bait. thus the movement like walking is second nature and not required. as long as you know how to close. timing is everything even in the shielding thus being taged is not an issue but a way to end it. peace
there is an existing punching system that utilize the same movement in the aborigines of southern luzon... they called it PATAON... it is called dirty boxing by the locals
men i just love 52 ( just discovered it) so efficient... i would die to learn 52 and ad it with my afro-brazilian martial art ( which got some tricky and nasty hand moves but nothing such as 52)
52 remainds me a certain art of knife born in south-african jails : the piper system which uses the same hands tricky moves but with knives.
By the way I am based in france , can i learn 52 hier, or should I cross ocean?
@FarisiDaniel hey i'm very interesseted in learning 52 ( should have a base in boxing?) how should I do , what should I do?
There are a lot of guys claiming they are 52 young and old... who is real or fake? I heard about bunch of OG such as Saladin and others talking about true 52... we need to know more about 52 I mean us overseas people... we are willing to buy DVD's and stuff.
@bssutton 52 has an off beat to boxing thus a pure boxer would fit well with us. any form of striking would fit well, due to the nature of the our boxing style. the art is the core of boxing in the states.
i just have a question not to be rude or disrespectful of your fighting style but i see a lot of arm punches and a lot of squaring up. I having been boxing for over three years and i see the jab, a quick piston like jab, being a problem. Do you think this is true and do you feel your style can handle a pure boxer or even a mma fighter. i've heard of the 52 and i think the black fighter in the movie undisputed 2 used it.
@bssutton you have a great question, but we have more than arm movements. theshield or blocks is to help you move and change size on your opponent we do a lot of things thatyou didn't seein this demo we have other clips up that cover more of our fighting style.
@bssutton I'm half way through watching undisputed 3, and theres an American boxer called "turbo" that uses some 52 in his first fight scene. Faris, have you seen either films? Can you confirm if they are using 52 blocks or some kind of variation of the 52 style?
peace almighty.. first and foremost i would like commend you for all your ardwork and dedication to the developemet of the mind and body.. keep doing yo thing.
i would like to know where are your training work shops. im interested in taking lessons.. hope to hear from you soon....
dude, this shit is so fucking fake. there is absolutely no practical use for this. it is all improvised. the only way you can even demonstrate this shit is in slow motion with someone going in slow motion. if there was an actual mma fighter or even anyone with the slightest martial arts backround would kill you. you have no power at all in the style of fighting you guys are demonsrating. if anyone really tries to use this system serioiusly they would be in a world of shit. fucking dumbasses
@jimmirabelli17 wow you seem so sure , yet right before you is all the evidents we need. do your homework next... and you wont sound like you know nothing
I have seen this style before especially in prison. Its a some of the dumbest shit i have ever seen in my life. First guy i fought with this style had me confused bc he went on his knees and hit my thighs a couple of times before i could react. I didnt react sooner bc i was like, "is this guy serious with this shit" so next time he did it i kneed his dumbass and almost knocked him out. This style is weird to time but use kicks and you will do fine.
@trueway82 yes but modified for the ring not in the UK yet we have people that have been following us for the last three years so soon we'll have people on the ground there and locations where you can go and get this type of training
Why do they say it's "Part Martia lart and part boxing" When boxing is a martial art already? lol Boxing is the fighting style of punching someone in the face... Martial art just means Mars (God of war) Martial as in war and then art, so the art of war, boxing is not different then martial arts, it is one =P Anyway 52 blocks looks stupid to the eyes, but that goes with every effective fighting style I have seen... Fighting well just looks stupid to most people lol Too many movies I guess lol
@GuamKomudo the reporter was trying to be bias... Boxing is a MA, and has been for 5 thousand years, far more than punching some one in the face. add a weapon and you are the God of War... Montu 52 has movment because of the nature of the blocks. if it were just for the fist it would be a waste of time, however it there is something in the hands then you may hope to be as good , no fun looking good all beat the %*#) up
@GuamKomudo depends on what weapon you have in your hand... you can punch with a stick or a knife, a gun you have to control to squeeze the trigger. no guns in prison so the other two apply
They say with a smile(like a fox) that Afrikan or 52 came from the streats or jail and too ashame to say it came out of afrika...because the white media says that we was savage before they came.
@Kigonja let's be clear here brother the vernaculer 52 is not an African art. However the core is, many different concepts have bled there way into 52. Which we say with pride, it's street because that's where it lives. as for Jail never been there. We have taken our art back from the belly. so that the next gen wont have to go inside to learn.
As for Africa Gambia, Senegal, Ghana, Nigeria, Angola, Congo, Camaroon etc... 52 peace
It's sad to say that brothas in 52 blocks either take the credit the peckerwoods gives them or they say they for black people but at the same time contradict black people...these are the poles of two evils.
@Kigonja First of all no one has given us credit. what is written about 52 comes from us. Once we get past the BS. 52 is not from Kemet, Congo Culture is older, yet we have people making claims that no nothing about 52. As for being about the people look at Changing the Guard it's free... We are doing the work that others are benefiting from. Yet it's all 52 right, not! We have the star and the square.
@FarisiDaniel New York Time peckerwoods did. And all these people get happy because the cracka love it and the one not mention get angry because the white power media didnt include. I dont give a F@#ck about white media Africans(because if your black your african...Peter Tosh said it right). Character is important when it's indivisible with culture...other than that character is just as real as Casper the freindly ghost.
@Kigonja Yes but we set the tone. There are two stories within the New York times piece which is why we told our own. No one even our community wanted to believe that 52 was of value. Now that the NY Times says take a look cats got clips, DVD's and their own stories.. Soon we will show more and then what will they tell their children?. We pick up the torch before the elders past away, imagine if we hadn't what would 52 look like ? the soul of the art is in the Body Wisdom
@FarisiDanie Nice for you to take the time and build a little. O.G. Kulture Peace. P.S. You are doing the work that other are benefitting from but what about our ancestors that really didn't "from scratch" ground work...we are always standing oon the shoulders of simplicity(ancestors)...lose that then the things we made will fade away..
funny you mentioned shanking, it would be bit hard to defend 52 if the user had a shank don't you think, as for being crappy that would make 52 very deadly indeed
52 Blocks vs Stato Fist, a documentary on the history 52 Blocks in America, email danielmarks52@yahoo(dot)com to get a free viewer password to watch it online.
i know jiu jitsu, muay thai, and i occasionally box and i know for a fact that 52 blocks wont beat any of my disciplines. especially and jiu jitsu and muay thai. maybe it would give a boxer a little trouble but dats all.
i heard alot of that talk before, lock yourself in a 8 by 10 with a set of bunks or in an elevator with a guy using this base style and you will know you were in a fight of your life. respond however you want but the people on here who know will not agree with you.
You got alot of suburban wannabe's talkin mad shit! OK let me break it down. There are no belts in a street fight, their are no levels in a street fight. There is no ref nor is there a dojo. There is who walks aways and who don't period. Now go watch Fox News and vote for Sarah Palin have a coke and a smile and shut the fuck up!
Why are people still thinking style vs. style? Victory depends more on the skill, fitness, intelligence and heart of the fighter more than what style he fights. An opponent who is prepared and ready for you will beat you, regardless what style you fight with. No style is successful w/o proper conditioning and/or training for the situation. If you're ready, and the style fits you(not the other way around), and you live to see another day, then it's effective for you. Props to ALL fighting styles.
I say thi not to dis 52 per se, but for people who sleep on any style of fighting simply because it's not the one they like or understand. Given the right circumstances, anyone can be beaten. All styles have strengths and weaknesses because all humans have strengths and weaknesses. To believe otherwise is just lying to yourself.
52 is straight up. I live in Tokyo and see more karate muthufuckas getting they asses handed to em by the brothers on the base. All the Kung Fu and Karate shit is OK but only in a dojo. But in a street situation ain't no one coming at you to split no boards. no one is yelling kiya neither.
The japanese that immigated over 100 years ago to brazil are distintly brazilian. They are Brazilian their is no "half" terminology. They don't even recognize Japan as their country though they do recognize their ties and keep their surnames. Japan treats them as outcast foreigners. I have plenty of friends that are Brazilian of Jpn descent. And they don't even look japanese anymore and are at this time learning Japanese. Know what your talking about B4 u put mouth in gear. or do a palin.
Not talking about the Japanese who migrated 100 years ago. Machida's father is not part of that group. Machida's father was born and raised in Japan, learned Shotokan in Japan, and moved to Brazil at age 22 and married a Brazilian woman. Hence, Lyoto is half-Japanese, half-Brazilian. Thanks for the advice, but I already know what I'm talking about. Peace.
It's all good, my brother, no stress. I actually didn't know about the Japanese immigrants you mentioned, so I learned something today. Many thanks for that.. Grace and Peace.
But one must train in it properly. If you train just to "perform" certain movements or types of movements, it will not benefit you.
One must train at varying speeds, at all ranges and understand angles of attack & defense and body mechanics to be effective in utilizing any fighting method. I also believe that all these factors are addressed in just about every martial art/fighting system, especially when one trains consistently and with the survival mindset.
Dirty boxing comes from the Roman art of boxing, learn your history. Boxing is over 5,000 years old, 52 blocks comes from jailhouse fighting. I worked as a corrections officer in Nevada and this style never worked with us, we would use our training in real military combat to stop, strike and takedown any inmate by ourselves.
What else I wonder is how much of this shit do you make up as you go along? It seems like when you figure out something is not working like you thought, you improvise with bullshit youve convinced yourself of. If you love it, cool. But this seems like some kind of scam to be cool or even for money. I am a pro mma fighter and this is just very disturbing to me. To think you can convince someone that this works is wrong. You can really get the impressionable people hurt. Just say its a dance.
and I guess what you mean by pro is that you earn a living by fighting. the Key here is this is a fighting art, an old form of boxing. Don't need to convice people at all
Wow you guys are truly geniuses. Hey if Queru Saki did it, then it must be affective. Hey, I wonder if blocking like a boxer is affective. After all they are the best punchers on earth. Dont you guys get tired from all that extra moving. Hands up elbows in, head movement and footwork try it out.
It was stated in the beginning at about 1:25 that it's something that is used in narrow quarters like a hallway or a cell, in which case footwork won't help much.
It is good to practice each skill set that is practice standing it one place and another time practice the other skill set which moving around.Walking around forcing the other guy to reset up his game
You ain't got no freaking business in China unless it's prostituting your own damn grandma that raised your momma the same fucking way. You looked them up everyday my damn fucking ass!!! Jackie Chan and Jet Li will kick your mother fucking ass even I would kick your mother fucking ass, actors my ass. They're fucking true martial artist. You was the fucking ugliest baby which is why your whole generation of family left you in the gutter in Tokyo.
the hand movement serves a purpose and that is so that your arms don't get tired. the foot work gets you in and out of range. but when you have no place to go that's when the game gets good
Thank you youngcommander.....in my humble opinion, 52 blocks is a very practical art...if the actual developers can, I´d suggest trying to amalgamate the Flipinio kali/eskrima-Panantukan techniques, hubud lubud and such, with the Goju ryu kakie, the Wing chug kugn fu Chi Sao and Lat Sao, the Bajiquan closed quarters techniques and taichi tuishou as well as the long range snake and crane techniques of Northern Shaolin and Southern Chioy Lay Fut...I'd suggest more kicks as in the chou jiao form.
No, besides 52 has all it needs what you laid out here would take a life time to come up with a blend that would actually work in a fight. We shield and attack. the sweets spots all day. no baseless drills aimed at nowhere.
By the way, Mr FarisiDaniel, how could I get a little link to that video clip you are referring to???
By the way, on the video, I'd really like to comment on the way the elbows seem so separated from teh body when blocking and how the style seems to not use a long-range block to avoid close-range fighting, prevent the enemy from coming in too close with something besides footwork, keep him at bay, sort of the jamming system, straight arm blocks that push away as in chi sao long range ?
Thank you farisiDaniel...I realize that your "sticky/pushing/slaping hands flow" comes from kemetian martiala rts, the flow is also found in the Mani dance of Cuba, the Ag'ya Ladja from martinica and the Antilles and the Capoeira Jinga in the Angolan version and the batuque one, which when taken apart, distilled and isolated from the capoeira framework, is suspiciously similar toKorean Taekkyon's basic dance or "jinga" (?!) and shows how the cocnept of rhythm and flow exists in all martial arts
I hope I don't offend anyone, my opinion is that 52 Blocks seems as a more practical, realistic and not just applicable but also expandable and adaptative system that can really put itself int he same level of Krav Maga and such. I have trained in several military methods (LINE, SCARS, Jukaikido, MCMAP) and seen others ( Jian Quan Dao, Krav Maga, Sambo, Lotar Kappap and the incredibly dangerous S.U.C.A.M.) during my service and my private field employment and 52 has the potential to rock them..
It is fairly obvious how you can see the Chinese Wing Chun Kung-Fu's chisao, paksao or foksao and Filipino Kali/Eskrima's Hubud Lubud along with a concept-application of Goju-ryu KarateDo's Kakie. I'd just recommend that you use more shoulder rotations, or shrugs and not close elbows so much or depend on elbow rotation, put some thick elastic bandages on the elbows to prevent them from bending to max and separate the elbows using a rubber band connecting them in tension going behind your back
Thanks, There is so simular concepts from Kali, and Goju, but that not where 52 comes from, our movement is rooted our our boxing (not western boxing). but I can see how you would see those things you have quite a bit of Martial Knowledge that's peace
and if you look at our best hand clip we use tension bands (for we fight out of the Peek a boo)
I am interested in this fighting style. There are no schools I know in maryland that teaches this though. Are there any books or videos for this fighting style?
yea brother this is what i am talking about. we need 52 blocks here in minnesota. i wish there was a better way to contact you fellas. my name is brother ronald. yes you are right there is no such thing as dirty boxing.
the base is boxing, not sport boxing. as for kicks, knees, elbows locks takedowns, grappling (all fighting carry these things). we do more than you see
This looks quite effective. If I get close I tend to clinch and knee, but I'd like to do some light sparring with a 52 blocks practitioner, feel it for myself...
its nice i hve a black belt in jijitsu and ive won many submission tournaments what are you gonna do when i bend your ankle to your head and uhh rashawed evens if you think the 52 is the best inside fighting style then you havenst seen filipino dumpag
so thats where floyd mayweather got his style from,he slips and slides brings the elbows up i wish they taught that in london when i was boxing that stuff works!!!!!!!
the problem with the 52s is that while it has a lot of hand movement the legs are not used and the defense against legs is poor. the match between nakmeezy and burly showed that burly was not very good at countering kicks even when nakmeezy was laying back on the power of the kicks.
that's true of Burley, not true of 52 in general. the movement is always closing, and opening AKA the peek a boo. watch the smoke and mirror clip and you'll see a different game. That's why Nak came to us. Peace
sounds like wing chun fighting in confind spaces but these 2 systems are different in many ways

@pugghead bruh all knock outs are brutal the brain gets rocked, so I missed your point same thing happen to Machida. as for Rashad using 52 he hasn't used it in his stand up. but it comes out like the right hand he nailed jackson with. it's more than you think and you have to train with it. winning means another check losing means a career change. what ever it takes peace
FarisiDaniel 1 year ago
@FarisiDaniel dude, I not knocking the 52 blocks style... Im just saying Rashad is more of a ground fighter, he's gone back to being a wrestler after the machida fight. He doesn't have good standup defense and during the last moments of both his fight against (a unfit) Rampage and Thiago Silva, he stood and both times they rocked him and nearly knocked him out -
If you wanted a MMA fighter to represent a similar style to 52 blocks Im would suggest Rampage Jackson or Randy Couture.
pugghead 1 year ago
@pugghead It's ok to knock it, but to say Rashad sucks because of it is not true. I worked with Him before the UFC. His stand up is for the UFC so that he can wrestle. but that's is strong suit not boxing. and you're right both of those fights could have ended badly for him, but you don't to block to do 52 you can slip evade and boogie from the ground up. I like your suggest we have a few young dudes coming through so enough peace

I'm a practitioner of Wing Chun Kung Fu. I've also done boxing in the past. I find this very interesting. I see elements of both arts in this 52 Block system along with some other techniques I'm not familiar with.I think it goes to show you the importance of universal movement. People from different continents who never met each other still fight in a similar way. 2 arms, 2 legs, 2 fists, 2 feet, 2 elbows, how many ways can you really move effectively?

To me from my point of view 52 waste a lot energy making a lot of movements. It's good for a young dude but as you get older you cant move like a youngin anymore. So if your young and fast you can get away with a lot of the moves 52 makes. But to me the hand movements are a little excessive and have loop holes. So if you fight a guy with good timing and speed you could be getting tag a lot . But in the end hey whatever works use it.
kungfuspic 1 year ago
@kungfuspic at a glance that's true, a young mans art, and lots of movement. once understood it becomes a chest match where the true skill is in the bait. thus the movement like walking is second nature and not required. as long as you know how to close. timing is everything even in the shielding thus being taged is not an issue but a way to end it. peace

i just have a question not to be rude or disrespectful of your fighting style but i see a lot of arm punches and a lot of squaring up. I having been boxing for over three years and i see the jab, a quick piston like jab, being a problem. Do you think this is true and do you feel your style can handle a pure boxer or even a mma fighter. i've heard of the 52 and i think the black fighter in the movie undisputed 2 used it.

Why are people still thinking style vs. style? Victory depends more on the skill, fitness, intelligence and heart of the fighter more than what style he fights. An opponent who is prepared and ready for you will beat you, regardless what style you fight with. No style is successful w/o proper conditioning and/or training for the situation. If you're ready, and the style fits you(not the other way around), and you live to see another day, then it's effective for you. Props to ALL fighting styles.

I say thi not to dis 52 per se, but for people who sleep on any style of fighting simply because it's not the one they like or understand. Given the right circumstances, anyone can be beaten.

52 is the truth...
But one must train in it properly. If you train just to "perform" certain movements or types of movements, it will not benefit you.
One must train at varying speeds, at all ranges and understand angles of attack & defense and body mechanics to be effective in utilizing any fighting method. I also believe that all these factors are addressed in just about every martial art/fighting system, especially when one trains consistently and with the survival mindset.

Dirty boxing comes from the Roman art of boxing, learn your history. Boxing is over 5,000 years old, 52 blocks comes from jailhouse fighting.

By the way, Mr FarisiDaniel, how could I get a little link to that video clip you are referring to???
By the way, on the video, I'd really like to comment on the way the elbows seem so separated from teh body when blocking and how the style seems to not use a long-range block to avoid close-range fighting, prevent the enemy from coming in too close with something besides footwork, keep him at bay, sort of the jamming system, straight arm blocks that push away as in chi sao long range ?

Thank you farisiDaniel...I realize that your "sticky/pushing/slaping hands flow" comes from kemetian martiala rts, the flow is also found in the Mani dance of Cuba, the Ag'ya Ladja from martinica and the Antilles and the Capoeira Jinga in the Angolan version and the batuque one, which when taken apart, distilled and isolated from the capoeira framework, is suspiciously similar toKorean Taekkyon's basic dance or "jinga" (?!) and shows how the cocnept of rhythm and flow exists in all martial arts

I hope I don't offend anyone, my opinion is that 52 Blocks seems as a more practical, realistic and not just applicable but also expandable and adaptative system that can really put itself int he same level of Krav Maga and such. I have trained in several military methods (LINE, SCARS, Jukaikido, MCMAP) and seen others ( Jian Quan Dao, Krav Maga, Sambo, Lotar Kappap and the incredibly dangerous S.U.C.A.M.) during my service and my private field employment and 52 has the potential to rock them..
Koldztone 2 years ago
It is fairly obvious how you can see the Chinese Wing Chun Kung-Fu's chisao, paksao or foksao and Filipino Kali/Eskrima's Hubud Lubud along with a concept-application of Goju-ryu KarateDo's Kakie. I'd just recommend that you use more shoulder rotations, or shrugs and not close elbows so much or depend on elbow rotation, put some thick elastic bandages on the elbows to prevent them from bending to max and separate the elbows using a rubber band connecting them in tension going behind your back
Koldztone 2 years ago
Thanks, There is so simular concepts from Kali, and Goju, but that not where 52 comes from, our movement is rooted our our boxing (not western boxing). but I can see how you would see those things you have quite a bit of Martial Knowledge that's peace

the problem with the 52s is that while it has a lot of hand movement the legs are not used and the defense against legs is poor. the match between nakmeezy and burly showed that burly was not very good at countering kicks even when nakmeezy was laying back on the power of the kicks.

that's true of Burley, not true of 52 in general. the movement is always closing, and opening AKA the peek a boo. watch the smoke and mirror clip and you'll see a different game. That's why Nak came to us. Peace
