elbows_and_knees Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 UFC has too many rules. Real fights have no gloves and no rules.even if UFC were like that, the results would be similar, I'm willing to bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kajukenbopr Posted September 26, 2005 Author Share Posted September 26, 2005 well, I think they have molded themselves into thinking that their way of fighting is the best and its not necesarily so.For their fighting and competitions, keep fighting that way, its how they do it anyway. <> Be humble, train hard, fight dirty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I literally meet TMA all the time that say things like "I will never go to the ground, so I don't need grappling" and "boxers have no skill - they just stand there and slug each other" When I heard them say this, I just laughed.One has also told me "In a real fight, all you have to do is hit them in the throat or kick them in the nuts" - as if it's that easy.

Kajukenbopr Posted September 28, 2005 Author Share Posted September 28, 2005 In my opinion we didnt get to see which worked best, we got to see who trained the hardest.If the level of commitment to martial arts is limited to some, even if its a great style, you are going to lose to someone who trains 10 times harder than you <> Be humble, train hard, fight dirty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the initial competitions, we saw which worked best when one wasn't prepared for the other. a grappler with no striking training vs a striker with no grappling training. The grapplers proved that it's easier than most people think it is to take a person down. Doesn't mean it's the best, but it opened the eyes of the general public to some things.

The "kick em in the nuts" guy told me he didn't want to hurt me, when I told him we could spar, but he was welcome to strike both my throat and groin. Another told me that he can only fight at his best when his life is in danger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a normal college sutdent whi just happens to train whenever he has the chance. If we were to fight, you would have the advantage right off the bat just because you train like an athlete, I dont.If we trained exactly the same, we would both have the same chance of winning the fight. <> Be humble, train hard, fight dirty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were to fight, you would have the advantage right off the bat just because you train like an athlete, I dont.If we trained exactly the same, we would both have the same chance of winning the fight.The nature of the style is very much responsible for this though. For instance, when I group my entire workout schedule together (lifting weights and training) most of my time is by far spent training. The reason why I have the endurance and strength I do is because I have to fight every night. The same is said for a boxer, a muay thai fighter, or a wrestler who trains often. The inherent nature of the martial art is going to produce tougher fighters because they have tougher workouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
