I never thought it would work on a big guy, but the panantukan tactic of putting your opponent in a side head lock while firing uppercuts into his face works very well. It's an unexpected move and easy as hell to do. You can even get a shot with the inside of your forearm as you get a hold of his head. It fits in really well as a trapping follow up.
What makes this a "panantukan" tactic? I might be visualizing this wrong.

The last two times I've attended Guro Inosanto's seminars he has aluded to holding an opponent in a headlock (while standing) while firing uppercuts as a very common panantukan tactic. It's not limited to fma, in fact it's a common 3rd grade bully tactic as well, but I learned it and how to use it in panantukan. I'm no expert on Filipino boxing (a fact I can't emphasize enought), but the little that I do know comes in pretty handy and blends very well with Jun Fan.

Thanks for the explanation gungfuhero. We do alot of Panantukan drills. Basically isolated jab sparring, only hitting with the jab, but to any part of the body, including leg/thighs. Then jab/cross, etc., etc.

Panantukan is one of my favorite arts to train. It compliments everything. Something I'm working on now is using the Panantukan head lock + punch to set up victor nage(rolling forward with an intwined leg while holding his head) from shooto. I'll let everyone know how it works when I get a chance to try it.

Does anybody know of any good Panantuken videos that are worth the purchase?

Conditioning should definetely be a part MA practice and skills. Just don't over do it. A stupid mistake that one makes in training their body with weights, exercise, etc. can be counter-productive if you hurt yourself. Just something to think about. Train smartly.

The more I play with chi sao and other energy drills, the more I see how important it is to drill them like crazy if you ever hope to be able to continue your attack via compound trapping.

I've found that working boxing style combos with your legs can refine your kicking as well as building coordination, balance and distance sensitivity. I started with easy things like the 1-2 (side kick to spin side kick or oblique kick) then to 3 counts and 4 counts (in my experience though any thing more than two counts is hard as hell to land and therefore more harm than good in fighting). Take the old Savate adage of "boxing with your feet" and see what you can do.
can you tell that I started my training in Tae Kwon Do?

Different arts have different training methods. Sometimes using one arts training methods in your overall fighting or different art helps you to see things differently. For example, when you are on your back and your opponent is standing up, most people think "ah s*it", but if you look at it as a long range guard (something I heard Eric Paulson say), it can psychologically give you a little bit of an advantage in how you train it and fight it.

I was grappling today and I ended mounting my opponent but turned backwards. I was going for a knee bar but I ended up figure fouring their leg and putting a hip lock on. The leg was positioned similarly to the standard butterfly stretch and I pulled their ankle towards the near hip (same side as the leg grabbed). It was very similar to a V arm lock (ude garami) but on the leg. Has anyone seen this before?
Have any of you done metranome(sp?) training. I find that it's a great way to build rhythm and speed.

I've never trained with a metronome before, but I nearly always train with loud, quality music in the background. I pick whichever beat I want to strike on (depending on the tempo of the song..some songs are too fast to hit on every downbeat..some songs are too slow to hit on every quarternote).. I found not only does it increase your rhythmn, but also your speed and flow.
