Tapout

I pay $80/month, with this I can train 6 days a week, up to 5hrs a day! IT's is a GREAT deal and I get all the Sambo I want!

Is a "High Kick" effective in a fight... Yes and No! A high kick is not effective in the beginning of a fight, since your opponent is awake and fully aware. It's telegraphing and also causes trouble if the kick is caught or your standing leg is clinched or swept. Yet if you can daze or stun your opponent first, then use a high kick it will definitely cause an injury or knockout to your opponent! http://www.elitekombat.net/img/ek_logo_site1.gif

Although this forum is based on Karate, there are many members that train in different disciplines. So I setup a poll to see how divers this forum is.

I started into martial arts when I saw UFC 1 on PPV. A 175lb Royce Gracie vs a 210lb Ken Shamrock, Royce dominated the fight and beat Shamrock with a rear naked choke ! To see a MUCH bigger and stronger opponent on his back beat proved to me how EFFECTIVE martial arts are, and so I started Sambo and a young age! http://www.nhbcanada.ca/Photo%20Files/NHBshadow.JPG

In Sambo we wear a heavy Judo or Sambo Gi, also the Gi colour should match the belt colour (Blue Gi/blue belt, Red Gi/Red belt...) Very few Sambo schools in the world train with belt rankings, my school dose not, we only wear belts to keep our Gi's togther. ( I guess we could shoe string, but that would look silly! ) http://www.nhbcanada.ca/Photo%20Files/NHBshadow.JPG

Dear Martial_Artist... PLZ stay off the cheep drugs! The point of those clips were to watch and enjoy, I had no meaning behind why I put those clips up, only for the purpose entertainment also if you had an opinion on it then give it. I wasn't asking or looking for some "light" on the subject. The clip wasn't to teach anything to anyone about MMA, BJJ, Kung-Fu, Muay Thai or TKD. Now I know you don't train in grappling cause it's obvious your ONLY exposer of it, is what you see in UFC, Vale Tudo and Pride fights. When it comes to multiply opponents the techniques in Sambo, or BJJ are VERY different from what you watch on T.V. of when only grappling with one opponent. Martial_Artist why do you speak on subjects (grappling) that you not educated on? Also you seem to dislike and judge NHB, you criticize it, for not being "real" if so then why don't you enter a NHB tournament? http://www.nhbcanada.ca/Photo%20Files/NHBshadow.JPG

All of those website's haven't proven a thing! Sure Kung-Fu won some MMA fights but , You haven't shown me where a Kung-Fu practitioner beat a BBJ practitioner, therefor making my original statement true! Quote: "Why would a Kung-Fu practitioner fight a BJJ practitioner, it's EXTREMELY OBVIOUS that the Kung-Fu practitioner would lose. " http://www.nhbcanada.ca/Photo%20Files/NHBshadow.JPG _________________ Tapout or pass out, it dosen't matter to me! [ This Message was edited by: Tapout on 2002-07-30 14:25 ]

I don't believe it's a matter of fairness but WHY? Why would a Kung-Fu practitioner fight a BJJ practitioner, it's EXTREMELY OBVIOUS that the Kung-Fu practitioner would lose. The same goes with the TKD practitioner; Muay Thai has elbows, knees with hours upon hours of sparring. The TKD practitioner put himself in a position where the fighting it's TOTALLY different from the training he is used to, so of course it OBVIOUS he would lose. YET if you were to have the BJJ and Muay Thai practitioner do point sparring or fight under Kung-Fu or TKD rules then of course the BJJ and Muay Thai would lose! http://www.nhbcanada.ca/Photo%20Files/NHBshadow.JPG

I spar between 5 to 8 hours a week. Training in Sambo and competing in MMA tournaments I always have to be in shape and keep my techniques sharp. http://www.nhbcanada.ca/Photo%20Files/NHBshadow.JPG

I found 2 martial art mpeg's and I would like for you to see them and give an openion of what you think! 1) MMA vs. Kung-Fu, no pads or gloves. http://www.mcdojo.com/dl_goto.asp?id=23 2) Muay Thai vs. Taekwondo, gloves and full conatct Muay Thai rules. http://www.mcdojo.com/dl_goto.asp?id=5 http://www.nhbcanada.ca/Photo%20Files/NHBshadow.JPG _________________ Tapout or pass out, it dosen't matter to me!

8 to 12oz gloves are boxing golves. Grappling or MMA gloves only weight 2 or 3oz. http://www.nhbcanada.ca/Photo%20Files/NHBshadow.JPG

8 oz gloves? What? In NHB you use grappling gloves, not boxing gloves! Quote: "And dont assume so much about what i know and dont know, it just makes you look arrogant. " What? I never assumed ANYTHING! I knew that you know nothing about NHB, thats the truth and you haven't disagreed with that! I have NO idea where you came up with the arrogant part, but what ever makes you happy. 12? where did you get 12 from? Like I said before, I'll say it again...stop talking s***! http://www.nhbcanada.ca/Photo%20Files/NHBshadow.JPG _________________ Tapout or pass out, it dosen't matter to me!
