Real fighting is fighting without rules. In any technique or style you are taught to defend against a specific type of punch or kick. Now in the real world people may not know how to punch properly rather a way they are accustom to. And you aren't taught in Karate or Kung-fu how to defend against someone throwing a shoe at you or slamming a wooden chair on you. If you must train in a style, learn it, master it then achieve it ! Don't be bound by its' limitations.

I already said this before in the thread -- I would avoid the ground at all costs in a fight. When you're standing, you can still run away. Quote:
And no teacher worth anything will train you to counter "Eagle Dives to Pick Plum Blossom" with "Phoenix Ascends to the Heavens" or any such thing. If there's a punch coming at your head -- any punch -- you have to either:
Martial arts drills will train your body to instinctively do one of them. If you learn no style, or do not drill, you'll take too much time considering what to do, and end up getting socked in the face. That's really all martial arts are. |

Bruce Lee was an old fighter. We don't know how he would do for now days. I don't know but since then maybe the fighting has changed and the way people think. Because the way people think greatly affects their fighting.

When I was a wee lad, my father signed me up for seibukan lessons, but the lessons were slow, and I eventually stopped due to time constraints.
In junior high, though, I met two friends, one of whom was a black belt in tae kwon do and an assistant instructor at his mixed kung fu dojo, and the other a friend that sparred with him. I practiced informally with them, and thoughout high school and college we practiced bits from other styles we weren't formally trained in (including some Japanese fencing... with wooden practice swords. DO NOT REPEAT THE RISK-TAKING OF MY YOUTH!). Their form was always better than mine because of my desire to learn something new once I'd reached adequacy instead of instead spending time perfecting my technique, but I got to the point where I was sparring on the same level as them. If you had to pigeonhole me, I'd say my style is jeet kun do. I need to fill some of my holes by studying more kung fu and aikido and starting jiu jitsu (grappling is a serious weak point in my knowledge). I'd also REALLY like to study capoeira. I am several years out of practice (and it was poor practice to begin with).

I'm not sure that poor spelling is someting to be "lol'ed" about, especially when a spell-check function is available.
There is an existing thread on martial arts found here: Martial Arts and Combat Sports |

I used to do Judo. Had orange belt. Was nearly getting the next belt but I quit. Why? Not interesting anymore. It was self-defence. At least thats why I started doing it. But after a while I asked If I could use it as self-defence and the sensei said I couldn't. Then I was like:
WTF?! A self-defence sport which you may NOT use outside of the dojo or whatever you want to call it. So I quit... ^^ It lost it purpose. Now it's 4/5 years ago I stopped. When I think back I think like: Dude I could do it anyway outside the dojo. >o< |

i used to practice the arnis but due to some medical conditions i now follow the philosophy of kicking my opponent in the wossname then running like hell. i managed to do that, at least more than once, too.
edit: still, due to some experience with the arnis, i can manage a little fight with the cane i use. the good thing about having a cane to help my walking is the fact that i'm always armed. |

I did Hung gar Kung fu when I was around 11-12ish for about a year and a half. I felt alot of traditional martial arts were simply too unrealistic in a fight situation so I quit. Did boxing for a few years but haven't done any martial arts lately. Been thinking about trying out bjj or wrestling for some grappling experience if my financial situation gets any better though.

Aside from all that, 2007 was a crazy year in the MMA competition world, wasn't it? -There were ssoooo many upsets this year, big ones like St. Pierre losing the title to Serra. -The loss of Pride (really sucked, was more a Pride than UFC fan.) -in a light weight title fight in the UFC both Sean Sherk and Hermes Franka test positive in the post fight urinalysis (come on!!! both the challenger AND defender?) -Royce Gracie testing positive for illegal performance enhancing drugs, -Nick Diaz's title win being overturned for testing positive for marijuana (while Gracie get's to keep his win when he tested positive for roids, go figure) - Hughes vs Serra being cancelled after all the promotion - and for the love of god we STILL didn't get to see Fedor vs Couture. Not only that UFC and Fedor don't seem to be making any leeway; it's so painful having to see such a great fighter (IMO the best heavyweight), fight such weak competition. I'd love to see him get into the UFC and steamroll all of them. |

I can't believe GSP lost to Serra either. He looked like his mind wasn't there at all (then again, that's his excuse for it too--problems with his training crew, which he fired after the fight). Anyways, he balled on Hughes, so I'm pretty happy about that. If there's anyone in the Welterweight division I hate, it's Hughes.
Here's my worst of 2007 list: -CroCop getting his ass (err, head) kicked by a nonamer, definitely NOT living up to his hype -"I'm here for entertainment value" Quinton Jackson actually winning fights--and it's sad because it's hard to tell if it's just the UFC's bad competition, or Jackson actually getting his game together -Fedor not signing up to the UFC, and Randy quitting the UFC for that reason. Fedor hasn't fought someone worthwhile for the last... what... year? Two years? That old Fedor vs Randleman fight was one of the craziest I've ever seen. -Silva vs Liddell... been looking forward to this one forever. Where was the knockout? The submission? Fuck, where was Silva? He fought like an amateur. No muay thai whatsoever. Not a SINGLE clinch. Can't remember if there was even a knee. Terrible fight. Good thing GSP vs Hughes was there to save the night. |

I've been training Savate Défense for half a year now and I've liked it so far - it's a good workout, there's always something new to learn and there's a lot of sparring, which I like . I've been thinking about switching to a kickboxing sport (regular kickboxing, savate or possibly muay thai) for some time so I could try competition, but I haven't decided yet.

I wanted Lidell to win so bad when Jackson fought him. Jackson's a good fighter but I just can't stand that arrogance. God I can't wait till someone knocks him off his damn high horse. Yeah, I think it's been about 2 years since Fedor fought anyone worthwhile. I think I heard Randy was talking about fighting Fedor in October once his contract is up. Hopefully though, the UFC will stop being such jerks about the contract. Yeah, that definately wasn't Silva's best showing. He threw like what, 2 kicks the entire friggin' thing? Lack of clinching, no knees. It was more like a boxing match than anything else. |
