Robsco isn't the lionkiller just an RNC? or am i missing something?

:-D And can it really.. really... really.... like really... kill a lion?;-)

I used to go lion hunting with a CLUB. :-O

It wasn't dangerous though, there were about two hundred of us and it was a rifle club. :-))

That's all a complete lie by the way.

Aye, it's the same thing, but I think RNC is more a WWF name? Although the Lion Killer sounds much fancier in my opinion!

I'm surprised they're not the other way round :-))

RNC is the english translation of the japanese name for the choke

What is the Japanese name for it?

hadaka jime

Directly translated, hadaka jime means "naked strangle" or "naked choke" of which there must be loads. i.e. any choke or strangle that doesn't use the victim's gi or any other foreign object to throttle 'im.

Our lads have nicknamed the "Lion Killer" the "Gracie Choke" as the Gracies used it to such good effect in competition.

Your "lads" need to watch more non gracie fights.:-))

hence rear naked choke as it is done from the back

uh huh.... so its come to talking about choking naked people, or something to that effect?

and people call ME weird O_o

:-))

Just had a look in my Japanese translation stuff I've downloaded,

(I know that makes me sound really nerdy/analy-retentive but after my last grading, where I was asked for the definitions of loads of japanese terms and looked like a complete fool when I didn't know the answers, I resolved to learn as many as I could)

"Ura" and "Ushiro" both mean back or rear - Any idea which you'd use for a choke Andy?

Just a thought -
My club still use a lot of japanese during training, do most BJJ dojos use English, Japanese or Portugese?

A typical BJJ class is more like a family get-together compared to a traditional martial ats class - just to give you some idea.

Find one near to you, or go visit one further a-field, it'll be an experience I'm sure, plus, you'll love it. :-)

?

Confused?

about your comment

it doesn't take much does it ?:-))

Well a BJJ class ain't very much like a traditional-traditional martial arts class is it?

Keep up son.

what is a traditional martial arts class?

the reason we all got taught about standing in line and bowing is becuase the first westerners to learn martial arts were soldiers during world war 2 and thats the only way they could learn

So before WWII in Japan, they didn't go through all the traditions and ettiquete?
