Muaythaiboxer

we had a fight club at my high school mostly wrestlers and boxers but a few judo an TKD guys i stoped going when people started to take it personaly. my advice 1. dont do it 2. if you have to do it keep it with close friends but on the second hand this is by far the best idea for a fight club i have seen, the chances are slim but you may just pull it off. if your going to do it good luck if not good idea

that was the best post so far on this subject and i think you nailed it street fighter. the answer=use what ever works! bravo

lol one of my buddys who wanted to take martial arts but dident want to take it in a dojo/school ordered from one of these guys and the dvd had nothing on it lol.

this feeling happened to me twice both at he same tournament my form felt like it did it's self and in sparring i felt like i could see the openings before they where there but this happened in point sparring and when i started to do full contact i never got this feeling again.

people always try to make the "ultimate art" but for some reason they always end up makeing something that for some odd reason wont work just look on the net for people claiming to have the ultimate art and chances are you wont even be able to find what style they studyed.

elbows are some of the most devastating weapons in all of martial arts. i have used elbows twice in a fight and had more than a little success with them. if you watch skilled thai fighters or NHB fighters they make good use of elbows standing or on the ground.

there is no ultimate art and there is no perfect fighter as an earlyer post stated being a good fighter comes down to how much you put in to training. in my opinion it 10% what style you take 40% the instrution you get and 50% how bad do you want to be good.

gilbert im a fan of aikido but alot what you say seems a little off beat. please dont use the aikido philosophy when i comes to a real fight it will get you beaten. some of the new people on this forum dont know the difference and might interprit what you post wrong.

most fights go to the ground and if you dont know anything about grappling the guy whom your fighting just leveled the playing field. oh and treebranch what is lima lama?

boxing or jiujitsu (any form) sound good for you and muay thai is always a good choice if you want to be able to use a guys face as a speed bad. if possible wrestling may be good to.

some boxers i know have a mean jab/cross if you try to slap them out of the way you get hit with the cross. as for kicks being easey to defend if you keep them low (knee, shin, groin) they are not that easy to grab more so when the snap the kick back. and not to pry but how long have you been studying aikido?

a step sidekick was the most complex ever got unless you consider a thai roundhouse to be more complex. the line between fancy and effective is up to the individual. in a pride fight i saw a guy do a jump spining hook kick and KO a guy. but i would stick to the basics.

when i saw who was in the blackbelt class when i watched at a mcdojo i left the school in discust there where people in there who could not even do a side kick properly and top it all off there where kids in there like 6years old. it took me five years to get first degree!

in my experence no one who starts a fight is full of fear usually there so ticked off that they dont even think.

mas oyama was one scary guy he used to kill bulls with his bare hands

wow i wish i could train with him i thought those schools all got sued out of existance

good post. people today usually train for point sparring or for fun most of these people would get wailed on in a real situation and i have seen it happen. one time i saw a blackbelt from a traditional school get thrown down and pounded by one of my wrestling buddys. traditional styles are dissed way to much though mas oyama used to beat the crap out of boxers/wrestlers/thaiboxers/ with old school karate.

heres my 2 cents in no real order 1. boxing 2.muay thai/muay boran 3. jiujitsu any kind 4. JKD 5. krav maga 6. kyokushin karate 7. judo 8. westling 9. wing chun 10. shoot fighting

stick to the basics fancy kicks are risky. when i was invited by a friend to do MT the first time i sparred, the thai fighters bashed in my common peronial nerve and my leg just wouldent move any more and my fancy kicks just did not work.

kenpo from what i have seen is a very good art but i am not suprised to hear that a kenpo student was beaten there are poor quality students in every art and in an previous post deadcell even said he wasn't that good.

im only 17 so most of you dont consider this a (real) fight. we where both on the wresling team and he dissed my religion i took it for a few days thin talked back he threw a punch it went to the ground and i choked him out with judo.

lol sounds just like my high school fight club except we wore my grappling gloves and had face shots.

eccept for a select few the new fighters would beat the old school guys. but this is because most MMA fighters train much harder than the average traditional fighter today.

yes lol once when i was boxing i let a left hook threw and it got me on the side of the head and i went down.

my first real fight was last year my opponent and i where both on the wrestling team and did not get along for some reason (im not a cristian). every day it seemed like he would diss on my religion at first i tryed being friendly, then ignoring him, finnally i told him no one thought it was cool that he was being a biggot and when three guys told him to knock it off he got pissed and threw a punch that hit me in the face. i managed to get in close and we went to the ground where judo+wrestling beat wrestling and i got him with a blood choke.
