I would just like to say Russian MA? Russian? No!

 

What I meant was (No offence) Asia understand MA.

 

I do not mean that all non Asian MA are rubbish except that they are not using MA to its potential.

---I really hope that you are not implying that the Russians do not have martial arts. If I am mistaken, please elucidate on your point.

baji chuan is a very hard chinese style. It was widely used by Royal Guard during Chin Dynasty (the last dynasty). One of it's emphasis is to protect others, which is unique than other art. Some of moves were actually sacrafice self to protect other. It's a very "body gurad" style.

now they train a watered down bjj. but not while i was in.

 

 

 

ther were some good fighters in the rangers SF and dreaded D when i worked with them. but it was cause they were hobbyist in various MAs

Does it matter if it is technically a martial art if you are dead? I don't think so. Applied martial arts for life or death situations is the same as applied math for building real bridges -- what matters is whether it works.
