Danny Dojo ...paunchy old dude in a ponytail gropes at him like a Catholic Priest at a Cub Scout meeting who has to put all his faith in "dirty tricks" because he has nothing else. Danny Dojo is only buying himself a bigger ass-whuppin' by believing he can avoid the fact that he has no skills.

Danny Dojo?
Paunchy old pony-tailed dude?

Thanks for bringing us back to reality. We almost got of subject.

Getting hit in the neck hurts...especially in the throat. I'm sure everyone here has experienced that at least once. Are you saying it doesnt hurt, Or are you saying its not worth training for?

getting hit in the throat in boxing

back in the 70's you could still use an open handed strike in boxing(i think it was legal or didn't result in a dq anyway), i know a fmr world champ from that era who used to spear opponents in the throat with the tip of his glove.also I know boxers who accedently got punched in the throat in ring a fight and were none to happy about it.i got hit in the throat by a teacher at school and it incopasitated me for a while.

Errr dude striking to the throat aint real bright just to make a point, dead people arent real good at understanding or following conversation points

anyone daft enough to argue the effect or vulnerablility of the neck/throat isnt worth your breath anyway.

Yes, throat strikes are 'effective' and very dangerous. And yes, they're illegal in every form of sanctioned fighting. As are strikes to the spine, eye gauging, groin strikes, small joint manipulation. All these techniques are 'effective', but too dangerous to be used in sport fights. Heck, I don't even fight this dirty on the streets, most attackers are untrained anyway (and often under the influence of drugs/alcohol), so just giving them a good beating is enough without maiming them...

How about tickling, I bet that would throw you off your game.

I have seriously considered adding tickling to my arsenal for ne waza in tournaments, though I'm proud to say I've never sunk to that level... yet

Of course striking the neck and throat “work.” Just as biting, ripping, gouging, stomping, headbutting etc... “work.” Stabbing someone with a knife “works” too. The problem is we’re talking about lethal or maiming techniques that should be reserved for life or death self defense. You don’t always need that kind of “work.” If self defense is your concern, then, yes, learn lethal force, but also learn non-lethal force.

Why do you study MA? That’s the question. I personally do MMA for the sport of it. I like the challenge of one on one sport fighting. The fact that it makes me more likely to survive a “real fight” is secondary, just like a rugby player might fare better in a scruff from playing rugby, but MMA is closer to the real thing. Would I fight like a MMAer in a street fight? Depends on the situation. I know how to crush throats and pull eyes and balls off just like some dude who has never done MMA or BJJ. So, who has the advantage–the one who knows MMA and how to maim and kill or the dude with bad intentions but no training?

It is right, however to not get into a BJJ or MMA rules comfort zone. You should think about what you COULD do and what COULD be done to you when you roll. You can ask a buddy of mine. He’s missing a nipple–people do bite in “real fights.”

Errr i HOPE you are speaking of the street thug here and not the stupid "MMA vs SD guy" shit again

[Tom Yum]

whats the deal with striking the neck and throat? supposedly its pretty effective, but i dont have any experience with hitting people in the neck and throat in a real situation. does anyone here have any experience with this and was it pretty effective or not?

Only in practice. I've been knife handed in the neck, just slightly by a master TMA ist and I faded.

btw, is striking the neck or throat allowed in mma and ufc ?

No.
