Jailhouse rock a.k.a. 52 Hand Blocks, Jailhouse Shuffle
i know of references to it by wikipedia,the RZA (a rap group), and mike tyson, but has anyone else heard or seen this
Some examples of the many styles of JHR are 52 Hand Blocks, Comstock Style, San Quentin style, Mount Meg, 42nd and Closing Gates. Many of these styles of JHR are thought to have evolved regionally in different penal institutions.
I will add more info later from wikipedia
Has anyone ever heard or witnessed this fighting style? martial art or street fight skill?
Sorry never heard of it but I am going to read your information and the URL and see what I can find out. Thanks for the info.

Reply:The ol' jailhouse rock questions.
Whether or not it officially exists is a moot point for the simple fact that there are only so many different ways that a person can use their body to inflict harm on another person. The 'martial art' of jailhouse boxing would be nothing new.
To call is a martial art is insulting to anyone who practices legitimate martial arts. Just because someone, somewhere is trying to make money off of a systematic approach to brawling does not make it a legitimate martial art.
At its very best, the rumor of jailhouse rock could be called a mutation of boxing. From what I have heard people say about the 'style', it has very little in the way of a scientific approach to fighting. It's brawling. Plain and simple.
To me, that does not describe a martial art or a fighting skill. It would be like calling two cats fighting a martial art.
Reply:no i haven't but i'll read up about it
Reply:I've heard of it, my impression of it is it's a dirty version of boxing where elbows and knees as well as headbutts, stepping on foot, thumb in eye and holding are utilized along with some wrestling. If I remember correctly, Mel Gibson's hit film the first "Lethal Weapon" mov1e listed the fighting styles featured in the film as Capoeira, Brazilian Jujitsu and Jailhouse Rock in the ending credits.
