TMA combat orented? no way doing hours of forms and stance work is combative.

most UFC guys would maul todays traditional fighters not all but most, what works? = keep it simple, no head kicks, no spining stuff, no complex throws, use the Kiss stratagy, keep it simple stupid,

Mas Oyama, Helio Gracie, Pra Kru Ba, Sun Yi,

i cross train alot and sometimes i hear contradicting theorys on a technique, i just try to use what i think works.

good street fighters win bad ones lose.

leg kicks are harder to block than head kicks though.

why quit the MMA? you will probably get to be a more rounded and better fighter if you quit Shotokan and stay with the MMA.

its really not as big a deal as people make it out to be i have never had my hands hurt after a match or a fight. oh and Street Guy i cant help but notice the simalarites in the arts we have taken.

only 12 doesent seem like much

i really dont like thouse kinds of adds

capoeira is fun but i think its more of a dance than a martial art.

train hard and get them next time.

not all of us teens are cocky and arrogant when i spar someone my senior i always try my hardest but i dont ever try to hurt anyone. my advice lay the cocky guys out i know i wouldent want anyone not sparring to my level.

nearly all of the asian students at my school have some training its normal class in there schools

lol the meditating guy is lucky the other people left.

he most definatly is going to lose.

lol its a scam

i have mine in TKD its a good school not a mcdojo

XMA is a drain on the martial arts its a dance nothing more.

judo is better than most for self defense but not as good as some.

this thread is still going!

i dont block i parry or cover up and take the hit. i dont think blocking in the old way works at all.

man o man do i hate it when i cant help people. one time when i was running cross contry i saw a guy getting the crap beat out of him by to guys i really wanted to help but i dident know what to do (this was before my training)

i actually had the displeasure to spar a guy who said he learned from books and movies. i hit him once and he covered up and backed away. then he said that in a real fight he would win because he knows killing moves. lol poor guy

ive never had any helth problems (thank goodness) but some of the kids i train with have really shown inprovement i think that MA is probably one of the best way to do just about anything helth wise.
