52 Hand Blocks

[Drip Bayless]

So I heard about the 52s in a GZA song and I asked my mans up in BK about it, and he said its the best way to fukk nikkas up in the street, been developed in prison and alladat. Dude told me to look up Lyte Burly cause he the leading authority on it. Anybody here familiar with the 52s or use em?

Always heard about it too. But dont know too much about it. . Hoping someone can drop some knowledge.

My dude tells me its mainly a defensive art so you have to couple it with some kind of offense, for most people boxing

Then came the biggest revelation. The style had contributed to one of my most beloved movie fight scenes: the scrap between Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) and Mr. Joshua (Gary Busey) at the end of Lethal Weapon. That scene has long been held up as an early example of mixed martial arts as well as grittier alternative to more conventional martial arts choreography. Mel Gibson had reportedly trained under a jailhouse rock expert named Dennis Newsome prior to filming the scene. The common ground between martial arts/action cinema and so-called "urban" culture were blurrier than I had ever dreamed. That a Black Man had contributed to one of the greatest fight scenes in modern film had filled me with pride



. I need to re-watch that fight scene.

yep...pure boxing just doesn't work in a real fight, just like pure jujitsu doesn't work alone.

the mix of the arts is what makes "MMA" dangerous

the shyt is like a weird mixture of baguazhang/wing chun trapping hands, boxing, and hood mentality... i remember when the one video was up where dude was shadow boxing, spit out a razor, caught the damn razor, continued shadowboxing, then hid the blade back under his tongue all in one motion

and if you watch the footwork, it looks like bboying.

Big among 5% in the 80s. I never seen it actually used in a real fight though.

Depends on a lot of circumstances. Generally if you throwing hands with someone who don't know how to fight, they just gon swing as many times as they can. If you know how to fight and can counter them, they'll prolly just try to wrestle, which they can't do either (unless they got weight on you). It's pretty uncommon to fight someone with solid hands and ground game

Amateur to pro boxers would make light work of these guys due to advanced footwork and conditioning. Great for taking on non-trained folks, but looks very Wing Chun-oriented...

A relative of mine saw 2 guys using this style in jail when they were getting jumped. He said the guys doing 52 more than held their own & were catching people.
