HiyaaMartialArts Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 TCMA will never die out. What's hot now was not so in the 60's nor the 1600's. Different strokes for different folks. And folks will always have the TCMA option if they so choose. HiYaa Martial Arts Podcasthttps://www.hiyaapodcast.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vitaniya Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Now the Chinese Kongfu is more and more popular. The dictionary is the only place where success comes before work. razr x irons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Rowe boat Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I don't think Chinese martial arts is going away on the contrary At the Kung Fu San Soo school that I train we had 51 students training the other night. It seems to be thriving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Rowe boat Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 MMA is popular because of the UFC and other fighting organizations which is fueling peoples interest in MMA. I like MMA and I love to see a good MMA fight but i am not training for the octagon, I am training for the street. No rules just down and dirty street fighting.

If you train for MMA, then you can use it in the street.As far as the popularity in the CMA's goes, I think it tends to be a style that flourishes in more heavily populated areas. I live in rural Kansas, and have the only time I've ever seen a CMA school is in phone books when I travel to larger areas. The CMA's just haven't seemed to have matriculated as much as other styles. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone can kick to the groin. It doesn't require a lot of special training. Just different target. Aside from that, the groin is the end all, be all target it is assumed to be.Our body has a natural flinch response to protect our eyes. If I can jab to your face, I can open my hand and gouge your eye. If you go for an eye gouge like that on an MMA fighter who has trained to defend a jab, then it probably won't be highly likely to hit home, anyways.I'm just saying that just because someone fights on a rule set, doesn't make them that susceptible to losing a street fight. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not saying MMA people are a bunch of no good fighters. There is no way I would want to fight a professional MMA fighter. When you train day in and day out to strike and hit people in places that MMA peeps don't usually train to do, then you are more than likely to strike those areas and end a fight quickly.

JusticeZero Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 The delivery system to strike those places is likely to have some problems, though. Then too is the assumption that those places will end the fight quickly, not always a good one.
