Losers Lose is a fun Baki fight ruleset, but Devil’s Sarashi from the Maximum Tournament in the fight between Chiharu Shiba and Iron Michael: the rope is tied to your leg and your opponent’s leg and you can use it to yank each other closer, trip each other, etc.

In this west this is known as a Jackson duel and it usually happens when you ignore a rival crew telling you not to come around here, don't wanna see your face you better disappear.

A great example of how the rules shape the martial art. Would be even crazier with body kicks for example, using the handkerchief to pull up the arm and make space for your kick and so on.

It was the power of friendship all along!

Beyond the physical side, I really have to say I'm impressed with the mental side of this. You have to split your focus between holding the cloth, throwing attacks, and of course protecting yourself. It's easier to split between attack and defend, since two-way focus splitting is not too hard for most people to do a somewhat okay job, especially when you can easily consolidate parts of the two tasks. But three way is where things get complicated, and how you try to bundle the cloth into offence or defence is going to greatly affect how you approach the ordeal.

Baki is such an absurd show, I love it. All my friends who train martial arts but don't generally watch anime have seen this show.

Used to do a similar thing in judo/jujitsu (not bjj) classes, but with a ball: one gets a medium-sized ball (volleyball, medicinal, whatever) and the other one has to take it away. Or both start from a neutral “grip”. Fun game!

This looks legit. As a fellow nerd I love the premise of this. Keeping martial arts fun!

I dont think sparring partners would appreciate getting their fingers broken.

The guy who left is a stick in the mud.

If you do grappling next, I bet there will be uses of the handkerchief to choke the opponent unless he lets go

This is actually so much fun and competitive than it's to brutal, honestly this should be the standard rule in street fight

I think the "no-grip" method is the most refined competition. It forces the combatants to remain the most vigilant, and prevents it from simply becoming a more violent tug-of-war.

That did look like a lot of fun 😄

First I 'd like to say that the video is really fun...but the point of the handkerchief is not to wrench it out of the opponent hand, is to keep people from fleeing/dodging: You need to show that you are a man by eating what your opponent is throwing at you without backing down. Thats why in the end Oliva and Guevara stopped holding it altogether, they were not going to back down from the fight. Stealing the handkerchief from the opponent is disonoable

i'm more and more in love with this channel. It's amazing the dedication and fun we are able to get throw this "martial arts journey".

We used to play a similar game but the hands were tied together with a belt and could be used to pull or block. Usually ended in pain. Fun, fun pain.

Fantastic drill!!! We once made something similar in karate sparring, tying the belts so the distance is very close (for karate sparring 😂), but still we had both hands and feet free... It's unbelievable crazy that people did it in actual duels with swords, or even worse, with pistols... Fun, amazing , and yet an exceptional challenge of distance management, reflexes, and coordination

This Tug O War concept can be used to train clinch fighting. To isolate the conditions in order to develop a skill,be it Dirty Boxing,Muay Thay Plum or Wing Chun.

Interesting! This is analogous to an old standard from Tai Chi Chuan. Train to win so decisively, that the opponent cannot even manage to tear your shirtsleeve.

This is so silly! I love it!!!

I think this is to teach you to stand your ground as much as possible and fight in the pocket. Probably a similar drill is fighting with your foot inside a large tire.

If you’re thinking of doing more of this type of fighting, for fun or as a training tool (maybe a KZreadr martial artist competition?), you should try a bandanna made from sturdier material. Silk is supposed to be stronger than cotton so it won’t rip in half as easily. It may be more slick though so a bit harder to hold onto. See if you can get other KZreadrs to try this one. I think you could start a trend with this idea.

Potop (The Deluge) 1974 reference is a nice idea, but my type is definetely more Taras Bulba (2009) everyone is drinking with liter cups while fighting in style of cossack dance/ lezginka

So much fuuuuun. You should do the same with grappling or MMA rules. Nice head movement by the way, you get better by the day!

You should tire Knife Edge Death match from "Yu Yu Hakasho". Despite the fancy name it's just a take on tire sparing where you both keep one foot inside a tire while sparring and whomever pulls their foot out of the tire loses. The point is to force you to spar in the pocket.

Bit late but I find it interesting that the strategy of the other guy forgetting about the handkerchief came up since that was the strategy number 2 had I can’t spell his name

I would think that if you ended up in a situation where you and another guy were clutching corners of a handkerchief and pointing guns at each other, ready to shoot, you have to stop and ask, "Why are we doing this?"

Omg, you - have - to try out Triceratops Fist!!!

It's kind of like when people would have knife fights and tie the fighters' hands together, except fun.
