oo thats awesome you took some jiu jitsu. did you train anywhere good? I've been training at daddis gym on and off because of the cost of the place. Asian martial arts are difficult to execute in mma. really you would need to be world class, and even still only a little bit of that translates over. the best asian art to translate is people with a judoka background. if your looking for more action give a look at other organizations, or a K-1 event.

I go to Dynamics which is a pretty good place to train in BJJ and jiu jitsu. Its a bit pricey but the coaches are awesome.

I thought the place I trained at was really good. But that was because there wasn't a big class. We had maybe 5 people, and two masters, so we had a lot of personalized training all of the time. Whenever I switched which art I was studying, the class size was almost at 30 people and I felt left out all of the time.

A lot of the Asian skills would transfer over very well. MMA is all about mixed martial arts. You can Strike, and grapple in it, which is essentially what all Asian Martial cover. Adapting to fighting against someone with a different style would be the challemge. I would love to see a Wushu or even a Jujitsu master enter the ring. Then you would be able to see a lot more cool things.

The problem is that Asian Martial Arts is becoming mostly demonstration, and hitting is usually eliminated.

The point is, compared to over fighting sports, UFC isn't that exciting, so why would I bother talking about it for days? I would rather talk about boobs over boring UFC.

I did some Aikido earlier in my life :b

It was pretty cool, at one point I saw my sensei (3rd Dan) beat a Karate blackbelt pretty epically

Eh I've met alot of people with the same kind of thing like you Iargue, but you can just go out and do some research, and look back at the past decade or so and you can see how little of asian arts translate over. Being a multi dimensional fighter > one dimensional fighter. A fight is a fight and when you have more weapons the chances of you winning are that much higher. There have been wushu practitioners, kungfu masters (usually fought BJJ guys and lost) , and high level blackbelt jiu jitsu (the gracies although they are succesfulll) try out mma, and as you can see they all had trouble fighting people with different styles. YOu can say one style is better then the other like they did back in the first couple of UFC's but thats not the case anymore. but your opinion is fine. I just feel that in the world mma fighters are the elite fighters.

HAHAHA that's a smart move though. Did he just sell some placebo and put cialis on it? I'm sure cialis is a placebo as well.

[neobrah]

yea it was a placebo, he got away with it for 4-5 years. their family is stinking rich. i wonder how his son feels lol.

Well, it doesn't really vanish if we're not active in it.

But I see where you're getting at.

[redlion]

Yeah... I think I might have posted here once, back on like, page 5. I simply cannot believe this is still here, 30 pages later. And it's still at the top of GC, almost a year later. Epic.

Where's that estrogen thread now? Huh!?!?
