:crazy:
Please don't ever, ever, ever watch the UFC.
yeah, tiddlywinks, we kick box/some mma and train 3-5 times a week.
Gracie would eat anyone in the ufc. You were probably in diapers when he was in it. People might think what we do is pretty cool because we dedicate a significant amount of time to it, but its just to stay fit really. Those wild dogs in ufc are ok. But they are basically pulling people off the street these days. Brazillian Jujitsu is sublime, with an excellent practitioner. Kickboxing is brutal but can be a blunt weapon. In truth we do "mix" our martial arts. A basic principle of martial arts is to use the opponent’s strength and momentum against him to gain more leverage than one’s own muscles alone can generate, thereby gaining an advantage. In combat you must use any advantage you can, and utilizing more disciplines is advantageous. In many situations your environment can be of great value.
One of my trainers was in the U.S Marine corp, and those guys know all about close combat fighting. One of our favourite things to do is to simulate fights that involve many people and train in ways to defeat them...such as a bar-fight situation.
But remember guys, most chicks dont appreciate a fight, and its not the best way to solve an argument.
As to the UFC, great fighters are few and far between now. Kind of watered down. I appreciate what they go up against, given their skill and courage, but I try not to overly fascinate myself with it like others do. In other words, Im not paying to watch that sh*t.
As for Carroll, I think he should cop a suspension for that. And the souths player. I'm disguted because it could have been avoided.
Remember, I prefer to get out and "do"....shock horror, so no, I don't play video games much either. Or crap on about mma and how wonderful it is....anyone can brawl and be pulled out of a gym by the promise of a few quick dollars for a show that requires "content" just like any other. Take a hike.
