mastertae Posted February 21, 2002 Posted February 21, 2002 The style of martial art does not make a person a great fighter...those that go around bragging may one day find them-selves in a heap of trouble...it is the person that makes the fighter...a person may have powerful punches but most people will not use all their strength because it is not natural to hit another person!...a martial art is a way for person to learn and utilize...it is a tool but it depends on the individual if he or she wants to become better. Is it not easier to strike a mountain than it is to strike a fly!
kicker Posted February 21, 2002 Posted February 21, 2002 Well i do beleive that it is up to you and only you to do your Martial Arts and to train to get better. But i think if you want to go into MA's then go rather then being pressured and not having fun and not trying in class. I think also your additude when you do your best it`s going to show.

Ryukyu1 Posted February 22, 2002 Posted February 22, 2002 If it's in the street and it's me or them you can be sure I will use all the strength I can.
Cory Reynolds Posted February 22, 2002 Posted February 22, 2002 I believe that one attribute of a great fighter is to be able to figure out what their opponents weaknesses are and use them against them. Use what is worse for your opponent instead of what is necessarially easiest for you. This is much more difficult than the "do what you're good at, what's easiest for you" theory because you have to be good at all different kinds of fighting. Punching, kicking, flurries, groundfighting, etc....whatever your opponent doesn't want you to do to them. Wise man once said "he who has big mouth has much room for foot."

You have you react instantly and depend on your strengths and hope all the training pays off. Being sly also counts for allot, if you are trapped in an aggressive situation with no other way out other then fighting, you need to be able to strike first and may the shot count.
shotochem Posted February 22, 2002 Posted February 22, 2002 I believe the nastier more agressive and bloodthirsty people tend to be the greater fighters. Size and weight really do matter. If that dont work bite someones ear off... "Some humans have yet to evolve......." Pain is only temporary, the memory of that pain lasts a lifetime.
Ryukyu1 Posted February 22, 2002 Posted February 22, 2002 Nasty and agressive are good. The size and weight thing are debatable. I am not physicall too big so would not dream of matching up strngth Vs strength but would rather get a quick shot in at a crucial point and then hall A** out of there.

There are many different kinds of weaknesses including their weight, height, posture, etc, etc, all things that can be determined in a split second giving you the chance to utilize these weaknesses. Another element of a great fighter is how quickly they can determine an opponents weaknesses. Wise man once said "he who has big mouth has much room for foot."
