Muaythaiboxer

a little off topic but dident muhammad ali fight a muay thai fighter?

very interesting... i know very little about Ed Parker besides he was a kempo fighter can someone help me out with info.

thats ruff... but there are soooo many ways to get out of a headlock.

training is not the only effective way to train? what do you mean?

the lizard would own the drunk frog lol

yea its pretty bad

my parents where like that to dident want me to get hurt always saying how i would end up like ali finnaly i told them that this is what i do and what ill be doing for a career some day and they understood. i would agree that most TKD in the US is crap but my school is pretty hard core we do full contact and have hand hits to the head.

i would agree but the thais took home four boxing medals in the olimpics.

what is systema? russian virsion of Krav Maga?

i have not yet had the pleasure to train with or spar any kyokushin fighters but my personal thoughts are that kyokushin is a great style. however i have questions about the KK4 MT1 where these american thai fighters or guys from thailand?

the coolest one ive seen was three guys vs a chinese kid from our school no joke. it started with the insults being thrown around then the chinese kid did backkick into one of the guys and knocked him down the guy on the ground and his friend got up and left and it was one on one the chinese kid tryed to kick the other guy and the other guy did a couple (gangsta) punchs and broke the chinese kids glasses the chinese kid then grabed the other guys arm and twisted it and then the school security pulled them apart. sry if it seems farfeched but its true.

a little off topic but one of my friends greatgrandfathers took part in the boxers rebellion and his grandfather told him all the storys. ok back to topic lee was at best a good martial artist who was great at breaking down the mental aspects of the MA but in a mas oyama vs bruce lee fight i would bet on oyama

i agree but sometimes you just have to fight. my freshman year this guy just wouldent stop dissing on my faith i tryed to be nice thin i tryed to just walk away one day i got so mad i took him down and choked him till coach pulled me off. in this case i guess he won in a way but the trash talk did stop.

how did those fights turn out for you?

muay thai fighters are dominent because they train like mad men and have a good no nosense fighting style but they are not invinceble mas oyama went to thailand and beat quite a few with his karate.

go for it! i plan to go in the next two years but seeing that you dont know any martial arts i would advise that you take some boxing and get hit a little bit before trying to go and train in thailand. good luck

i have never been i a fight where my life has been in danger but i have had people want to beat me up and i used a jab elbow combo with good success.

stick with what you have but i would recomend cross training in thaiboxing/boxing and considering your still in high school if you want to get good grapling join the wrestling team

gilbert im a little confused you talk a great deal about how you study aikido and you use the aikido philosophy in nearly every post yet you also take boxing is that not totaly contraditing the aikido philosophy? im not trying to start a big argument or any thing but i just saw that and i wondered.

very interesting... i heard the polynisian arts where pretty hard core but i thought they where no longer tought. i gess i learned something thx treebranch

i have only been takeing capoeira for a couple months so i'll take your word for it as you seem to know a little more than me.

just let it go, but if one of them ever has the guts to take you one on one teach him a lesson. i am very happy to hear that you where not hurt and that you dident do any thing drastic right away. not to pry or anything but you seem like an ok guy why did you ever get mixed up in bad crowd?

i do capoeira for fun but as in terms of fighting i think i would stick to something a little more stable like muay thai or wrestling for self defence. my apolagies to any capoeiristas i have offended.

i dont like to fight dirty but if my life is in danger i will use anything short of killing them to survive.

you do train techniques in JKD just you apply them in you own way from what i have seen and heard they use 18 principals to do this or am i way off?
