52 hand blocks/jailhouse rock

http://stickgrappler.blogspot.com/ i think this maybe the same fellow.

I stand corrected. I must have found an old blog of his...

You never see the point (pun intended)

...

I've gotta say that I don't see the point on his "catch and kiss." He turns his back on his opponent to catch the man's jab, .....

I've seen similar "moves" in both judo (ILLEGAL LOCK THROWS) and silat. The lever is a destruction. If your free hand holds a (pointed) weapon in reverse grip the destruction can be followed up with quick nasty groin shot...without turning back around...

Also... there is another point to that. Never catch the wrong arm or you end up in a rear naked choke.

(Obviously enough?)

Clearly Stickgrappler has moved on to bigger and better things... He hasn't even updated his own website in the last few years...

JHR (52) is mostly dirty boxing tricks and whatever martial art style they could pick from in the "hood" or the big house...

Those are the guys YOU should be training to defeat.

I wonder what stickgrappler is up to. He was here when this forum was the sh1t.

Yeah. I really didn't see him doing anything revolutionary.

I've gotta say that I don't see the point on his "catch and kiss." He turns his back on his opponent to catch the man's jab, then turns back around to throw a hook at his head.

I'd yank my fist out while blocking his movement at his right elbow so he couldn't turn around, and take his back.

HOW OLD is this thread?

Jailhouse rock or JHR is a name which is used to describe a collection of different fighting styles that are alleged to have been practiced and/or developed within urban street gang culture and US penal institutions.

The different regional “styles” of JHR seem to vary greatly, with a common emphasis on improvisation governed by a specific set of underlying principles.

Some examples of the many styles of JHR are 52 Hand Blocks, Comstock Style.....

Thanks for the info and link, Lib.

Check out Dennis Newsome's webpage. Some sample techniques were shown in John Soet's "Martial Arts Around the World."

Will do, Paco.

....This "52 Blocks" was created in a U.S. prison right? Do you know any info on its creator(s) and history? Which prison was it developed in?

Ok, now that looks a bit weird. (the practice fighting)

That weird aspect of it I can do without.

Dude! Thanks for posting these vids! I like briefly heard several years ago about some fighting style that was created in U.S. prisons - but I thought it was called something like "50 [something] drop." I tried a few times over the years - very briefly - over the internet to find some info on it through a search. But I never could.

Dude! I just watched that first video and I'm highly impressed! Now that's street fighters that you have to worry about, and they for damn sure deserve the hollowed handle "street fighter."

That style of movement reminds me of Panatukan and it also reminds me of Western boxing influence of moving on the feet or up on the toes when throwing jabs etc.
