@midarmour Yeah, full-contact karate people have used it, kickboxers have used it, Nak Muays have used it. I'm surprised that no Nak Muays have turned up so far, maybe the author is saving them for later. Also I agree that the upper body shot confuses me as well. It's possible it's a...

@MoarChamps The liver shot. It's connected to the vagus nerve and is very sensitive to pain. A punch to the jaw can send you to sleep, a punch to the liver can send you to hell. There are six or so major weak spots on the human body. The eyes, the jaw, the throat, the solar plexus, the groin...

Good chapter, probably the best examination of groundwork we've had in the series so far. I hope it keeps up and we get to the level we had in Tekken-den Tough where it was like 40-60% groundwork. This is a BJJ manga after all.

Come on Tommy, come on son. Come on Tommy, take him out in one.

Saw that swordpoint in a karate class once, it's a desperation move because you can't actually train using it on other people, unlike most karate moves.

@Amegashi The one problem with that is all of that hinges on Dae-Gak running Fight Class 3 (or whatever role he serves in it) for the past seven years at least as opposed to beginning after kidnapping the sister *and* the masters knowing about it *and* them not just getting iced by Dae-Gak...

@Amegashi I think the thing is, he had no reason to know he had to know martial arts. It's not like Abyss Rage where the protagonist has no other way of revenge but learning martial arts, or Baki where the protagonist has already had a massive training in martial arts before the need for revenge...

@Amegashi Judging from his dad's reaction, I'm guessing Ji-Tae was just a pussy growing up (in fairness, as an eight year old or whatever) so his dad just gave up on ever training him and went for his sister instead. Either that or his sister got genes he didn't. One of my pet theories is that...

@Amegashi The mother had kids with another master? Who? Also, no, he got demolished by a judo throw onto concrete. Judo's one of the few martial arts his natural abilities don't counter. His super dynamic vision helps avoid blows, his super joints help him break out of submissions, but...

@Amegashi It should also be noted that he learns the crossguard, sprawling, the flying armbar and the heel-hook in two days, (the latter off of youtube without actual proper instruction), and while injured went into a fight with someone who logically should be in the top 100 students of martial...

Good that they're getting into the mechanics of how full-contact differs a lot from other striking styles. By the end of this Koga's going to be a seriously well-rounded fighter.

The MC is currently nowhere near YWoong. He's not that far behind the rest of the class considering even at the beginning of this arc it took TYoung going all out to beat him, so obviously his hax eyesight will allow him to progress fast. But YWoong is nearly Ha-min level, he was able to land a...

@shinratensei16 @Amegashi Noticed that in this discussion about my opinion, I was not getting tagged and it took till the latest chapter update to notice: I will lay out why I have a problem with the way Maria wins fights. Not that she wins fights, or even that she's the dominant fighter in...

We haven't seen much of that though, aside from him shit-talking Maria prior to their fight because he thought she was a psycho. To which she responded by brutally maiming him, because she is a psycho. Like, it feels very "telling not showing" with him.

It's going to take me a little while to get used to the names. Poor Ult. Hero. Everyone seems to think he's a bastard for what seems like relatively little reason. Looks like we're getting some more focus on the MC. We had high points and low points from this tournament arc, whether this...

For those who haven't read any of Fist of the Seeker, Rokushin Kaikan is a major organisation in that series. One of its strongest members is a guy called Narushima Joji. He's not the owner, though. Wakatsuki Takeshi is also a member of this school of karate, or at least was; he was exiled from...

Well, she used BJJ against Eun-Sol because Eun-Sol went for a takedown. That's like running away from a lion straight into a river full of hippos.

"That girl is not a striker... she's a jiu-jutsu grappler" THIS IS NOT A BIG REVELATION. We've known BJJ was her speciality since basically chapter 1. This just confirms what I was complaining about, that Maria is not just the strongest but is the strongest when not even having to use her...

@Pepsioverdose My theory is that Sen became the seventh Fang, then got bored and quit.

I don't think there's going to be power creep. More like they're now dealing with a wider range of people. We know that Worm helped create Agito, for instance, maybe the Sixth Fang was another attempt.
