Any of you guys have any training in western boxing, Muay Thai, and/or wrestling. If so, how much?
Sorry knifey that dead horse turned to dust years ago.
yawn… get a life.
:rolleyes:
No, this is a new, improved, live horse.
Not trying to troll anyone. My apologies if it seemed antagonistic.
Well, maybe detailing why you want to know would engender a less defensive reply.
Bad Knifefigher, Bad!

Oh my goodness Knifefighter, are you really trying to start a fight? The tone, the wording, the blatant something or other. You might as well just ask what’s their favorite pancake at IHOP! :eek: :eek: :eek:
Stuffed french toast.
mmmmmm…
I’m partial to the Blueberry waffles with whipped cream myself…hhhmmmmmm bluuuberrrrriesssssssssss
I wouldn’t ever start something as controversial as asking someone’s favorite pancake.
My reason for asking my question is that I believe these three people are true-blue, hard-core CMA practitioners and believers. Since I haven’t been checking in here much for a while, I was just wondering if all the general hype of western MA styles has caused any of them to seek out any specific training in these disciplines (I should have also included BJJ into the question).
You know, come to think of it, Pancakes really suck. Waffles are where it’s really at!!! 
It’s true - there’s no such thing as a pancake cone for your ice cream.

Actually, the first ice cream ‘cone’ was a pancake. They ran out of cups at the World’s Fair in NY, so the guy improvised with a pancake.
Well then it was more like a ice cream burrito then wasn’t it…
Oh, and Abel… I’m leaving for the Hollywood/Pembroke Pines/Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area tom… I think I might have a chance to train with a few down there… any suggestions? I’m thinking maybe the new nee schools (they split up I guess) and possibly a day with Mr Chin… If I can. Anyone you’d like to send your regards to?
KF, did you catch the Sunday Night Fights on Fox Sports Channel? There was this guy Americo (forgot his last name) who used what looked like that swinging long fist stuff. The guy just threw these punches as fast as he could. His record is 7 fights 7 KOs. Maybe there’s something to that Kung Fu fighting.

Why would well established CMA practitioners get sucked in by hype like so many others with no real experience in a complete system?
Geez, you can be an idiot, KF.

Quite a few established CMA practioners have seen the value of cross training in western disciplines such as BJJ or wrestling. Tim Cartmell comes to mind offhand.
Well then it was more like a ice cream burrito then wasn’t it…
Um, take a round pancake…now fold it over on itself, and roll it so that one end forms a cone shape. The other, open end looks like it will hold a scoop of ice cream pretty well, huh?
Next time you buy a waffle cone, look at it…study it…learn of it’s folded, rolled beginnings…Only then will you understand how one makes a coned pastry.
I can answer that for you.

Steve Chin?
If you want a suggestion " Kung Fu Connection" sifu Gus Rubio III is the owner.He’s sifuabel’s teacher and was my sifu as well.
Nee’s kung fu:rolleyes:
Don’t get me wrong i’m not knocking the school just the sifu:confused:
When i went to learn kung fu i was down to 2 schools.Nee’s kung fu and Kung Fu Connection.Nee’s was in miami back then not to far from KFC.When i told Nee i was trying to chose between the two.He started bad mouthing Kung Fu Connection saying they teach bad kung fu.I thought that was out of place for a sifu to do.When i spoke to sifu gus he explained that Nee was a good sifu and that he had a good school.The only thing is they teach a different style than we do.
I told sifu gus what Nee said and he just smiled and said.You’re welcome to watch any class you want ,and then go watch a class of his and make your own choice.I joined right then and there.I also went and watched a classof Nee’s like he said plus took a free class.I watched a class at KFC that night i talked to sifu gus.Well the class at KFC impressed me very much.I later found out it was a newbie class and Nee’s was an intermidate-advanced class.
Sure glad i made the choice i did!
norther practitioner,
You’re welcome to come to a Black Tiger class with my sifu and take a look.It’s not a big class only myself,my sifu and my si hing by one day.My sifu teaches private.

“Geez, you can be an idiot, KF.” -Serpent
Oh come on you must be new here serpent. Among Knifefukkers qualifications that he claims as part of his portholio are:
Phd
Seasoned cage fight champion
Founding member of the Dog Brothers
Blackbelt in Gracie Jiu Jitsu
Master of Mauy Thai
World class bodybuilder with a ripped phisique (at nealy 40)
Owns his own personal business (the most believable of the claims)
Personal contract trainer of the Navy Seals (Lew Hicks, Jerry Peterson??!!) and other super secret government black ops groups
I could probably go on if I did more research (these are just from memory), but like most people in the world who ARE credible I don’t have time because I have a full time job. I don’t know about you but if I could pull one of the alleged “great accomplishments” that he has claimed off in one lifetime I would be “self actualized” so to speak.
Oh and don’t be surpised if a poster with the tag:
Jiu Jitsu Jedi
jjj
chokeyouout
chokeyouout2
kungfoolz
or any number of others that I’ve forgotten shows up and starts insulting me (those are suspected tags that knifefighter uses to pose as an alternate poster when someone posts something he doesn’t like. Hence, the “NHB mafia” or as some of us old timers have come to know - Knifefighter!)
