1 year NHB/MMA training v 10 years japanese martial arts

[judoguy]

Here is an interesting topic. If someone had one year of muay thai, boxing, wrestling, and jiu-jitsu training with a top notch team like team Quest or Militech would they be able to beat someone with 10 years of hardcore Kyokushinkai, judo, and jujitsu training.

proabably not....9 years is a huge Gap. Kyokushin and Judo have a big emphasis on conditioning too so that would help.

[judoguy]

Ok so maybe that was a little too large a gap in training. Hey TJS weren't you doing krav maga before? What happend?

[TJS]

Yes I used to, but some things changed and im at a new school now.

[judoguy]

So what is the real deal with krav maga? Will it give you some real skills or what? I ask because I'm thinking about taking it up but I don't know if it's all hollywood hype or not.

[TJS]

It's good for Street self defense. Gives you a good basic skills in standup strking and some of the weapon defenses are good.

I agree the gap is too large. It also depends on the quality of training the traditional martial artist received, how much they trained, etc.

It would take a miracle!!

As others have stated, 9 years of training is a massive difference.

Assuming the same training regiment someone who is 6 months ahead of you ought to beat you.

Someone who has been training only for one year hasnt even approached basic levels of fitness yet

Depends on training methods. I am more convinced that the reason boxing and MT have done so well as opposed to Karate in MMA is because of training methods more than technique.

It all depends on how hard the training was, but would say 10 vs 1 year is no real match. 10 years wins for sure, especially if the conditioning is at the same approximate level.

So,

which is better:

one year playing guitar in a honky tonk band in every dive between Houston and Baton Rouge or

ten years music study in Juliard? Hmmmm?
