Rules at your club

Taiwan-Evo

What are the rules at your martial arts club?Whether it be striking or ground. Here at Evolution Taiwan BJJ we are going over some rules. It would be interesting to here different clubs rules.

Probably stuff like neck cranks,compression locks etc for bjj,sub wrestling. For striking maybe knees,elbows etc.

World Taekwondo Federation/Kukkiwon rules for tournament and dojang sparring. The same as adopted by the Olympics for competitions. Kukkiwon rules are available online from Seoul.

Is Taekwondo sport only or self defence as well and do clubs vary on whether they use the Federation rules?

Double post sorry.

In SpartanMMA, we have the obvious rules of no attacking the fingers,eyes or neck(cranking), but the coach has introduced banning of certain moves (or certain people from doing certain moves) if the people doing them rely on them too much to the detriment of their ground game.
e.g. no-one is allowed bridge out of mount, it relies too much on being bigger than your opponent to do.
Also one guy is no longer allowed to do the minitauro choke as this is all he would go for in almost any position (and usually get because he was so strong)
These sort of rules are not exactly set in stone, but they do help to improve your jiu-jitsu, so they might be something you want to consider.

interesting concept with the bridging

minitauro choke not familiar?any other name for it?can you describe it.

Cranks I don't know if should be illegal personally.For more experienced guys at least. You just apply them slow and tap if your in one.

And for guys training striking. Do you practice knees in sparing?. LIke lifting to the outside arm in clinch. We did have one accidental knee to the head cause the guy went for a takedown at same time as the guy through the knee up. Was not full force so not much damage but still doesn't take much to break a nose

minitauro choke is similar to the anaconda choke (shown here : http://www.grapplearts.com/My-Mixed-Martial-Arts-Download.htm)

As with cranks, part of me feels if i'm good, i should be able to get out of any move regardless of what it is, but another part of me feels if my opponent is any good they should beat me with a proper move, as opposed to a "big man head yank"

well the anaconda is like a triangle by principle so I don't see it as dangerous . although if you do as he does and walk the legs up, you turn it into a neck crank.

lol, the minotauro choke guy.:D So if he does do a minotauro choke, is he reprimanded? Is a smaller guy allowed to try and bridge out of mount?

only one guy in the gym is banned from the minitauro choke and thats because its all he does against most people. its not a safety issue its just that if doesnt try anything else, he wont get any better at bjj. also its only while training he's banned from doing it, in competitions he's allowed to do it

He's one of the biggest in the gym, so he can catch this choke easy, but when he competes against people his own size he has a much harder time finishing it, also because he attempted so few other moves training he is at more of a disadvantage in competitions. this "rule" for him is there to make his jits better.

he wouldn't really need to be reprimanded, he understands the rule is there to make him better so he's not going to try to sneak on the choke when no-ones looking

generally, newbies are allowed to bridge out of mount, but after doing a class of proper escapes of mount (shrimping, foot drag etc) its strongly discouraged for them to do it

We have three different dojang locations, two in So Cal and one in Arizona, with a third in Arizona opening soon. The curriculum is uniform for all locations. The one I part-time teach at has about 300 students, mostly coloured belts at various levels of skill. We balance our training between TKD sport and self-defense routines (Although our city is almost crime free, the city next to us has a serious crime problem and many gangs, so SD is important to our curriculum). Generally SD does not conform to tournament rules, but it is a Kukkiwon testing requirement for advancement which we take seriously.

Fear does not exist in this dojo.
Pain does not exist in this dojo.
Defeat does not exist in this dojo.

We do not train to be merciful here. Mercy is for the weak. Here, in the streets, in competition. A man confronts you he is the enemy. An enemy deserves no mercy.

Oh, and most importantly.

Sweep the leg.

Nothingcompares

Rule No.1 - Don't be a jerk.
Rule No.2 - Obey the grandmaster.

Obey me, and I will love you.
