Sorry Nick, I'm having a little difficulty taking this conversation seriously because the subject kinda disgusts me. Yeah, a knee break is not going to be very effective against an opponent who is anticipating it, so you're right. And at that level, a knee break would have to be perfectly executed and, yeah, only if your opponent gave you the opening by putting all his weight on his forward leg.

Just ask yourself this...
If "martial arts" were so great... like, some magical thing...
How did the Marines beat the Japanese in WW2? A LOT of it was hand to hand combat.
Wrestling is a martial art. You are right wrestling is very effective in MMA. However it is not the end all be all. Just like strenght, important but not the ultimate factor.
There is a reason this man is the most dangerous fighter in the world...

Hello,
I find this statement ignorant on many levels.
It presupposes that hand to hand combat was the decisive factor in warfare.
It presupposes that all Japanese combatants were martial artists and all marine combatants were untrained.

I'm a MMA fan and have been one for quite some time. For those of you not familiar with the sport, MMA is full contact fighting in which most types of striking (punches, kicks, knees…est.) are allowed as well as grappling.
Fights are won by knocking your opponent out, by submitting your opponent or by judges decision.
This Saturday night is the next UFC event. The UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championships) is the premier MMA organization in the world. Saturday's main event has the current Heavyweight Champion Junior Dos Santos defending his title against the man he took it from Cain Velasquez.
So...anyone here a fan or watched MMA before? Anyone against it?
Hello,
I enjoy martial arts and martial arts competitions.
I do wish there was a way to practice the art without damaging an opponent. Perhaps motion capture, force feedback, and virtual reality interfaces will someday allow two combatants to have no-holds-barred fights without anyone getting hurt. This would allow technique to be perfected without causing injury or death.

Ill give you the man who has trained his entire life in MMA. Wrestling, striking, a great ground game. Jet-Li fast, with power to match.
VS.
My mother-in-law.
Shes in her 60s. Has diabetes. Can't get down the stairs on her own.
Except.
I just gave her my Glock. With its pretty hi-cap mag.
Who wins?

Injuries happen, most of the time during training. There have been broken bones in MMA and unfortunaly a few deaths. Far less than other sports, like football.
Anthonyt have you watched any UFC events?

What's wrong Wolf to much of a coward to get punched in the face. Have to hide behind a gun?
Also the fighter wins. He covers the distance of the cage before your mother-in-law can even cock the gun.

Quote:In two of my schools we'd dress up in protective gear so that you could go all out 100% & hit anywhere- that was very informative. Aside from an obvious loss of some speed & manoeuvrability, it let us know what moves worked & what was fancy show crap. Still, eye & throat stuff could not be tested, except on the heavy bag & wooden dummy. The wrestling stuff was essential IMO, and that could be practised pretty much full on, but without strikes involved.

I actually got knocked out once though, from of all stupid things, a spinning back kick- but that was my very first Tae Kwon Do class at 13 years old, and I walked right into it. The dork yellow belt that did it just wanted a practice dummy, I guess. White belt fodder.
