Does it really matter which martial art?
Take a set of twins
put twin “A” in a school that trains and participates competetively in Full contact.
put twin “B” in a KF school that trains meditation, chi cultivation, no touch knockouts, and chi blasts and participates and competes in point competition.
A fights B. so does it matter?
So AGAIN, “Which SCHOOL?” is the better question.
Twin “A” could also be in a KF school doing the above.
I’m trying really hard to not respond to that…
I know, posts like that only add to the quagmire.
No, it doesn’t make a difference. Coincidentally, however, all the people who are good fighters have chosen to study Muay Thai and BJJ and that’s why they always win. 
What is your focus?
If you focus on ground game, you would use other moves as tactics to get the opponent on the ground ASAP and do your over 100 techniques stuff on the ground.
If you focus on strikes, you just punch and kick away.
If you focus on throwing, then use other moves as entry and do your 1000 ways of throwing.
How do you end the fight?
Do you need to learn every single style on the planet to be a all around fighter?
probably not.
You build a fast and light fighter jet.
You also build a stealth and heavy but slower bombers.
Do you train yourself to be several ways?
probably not.
based on your physique, you train your best quality and cover your weakness.
styles are only relative to your focus or YOU.
Actually your style really does not matter at all, its your exposure to an environment. You can learn all the art in the world, but you still won’t do well in MMA. Why? Because you never fought under such rules, unless of course your art so happen to have the same rules.
Take it to the next level of streetfighting, things began to change even more. I never had a single streetfight, only a couple of random challenge matches whom I kick the crap out of their ‘my art is better than your art’ arse.
And I only won them because I played even less rules than these guys. I had my arse whopped regularly by MMA guys (I am from sanshou) when I play their rules, but I get better at it. So art is really a mental block to me, just learn to duke it out under different rules all the time, puts your art to the test and you can see alot of limitations.
Even if you are a MMA guy, try playing semi-contact with a sports karateka, you will be surprised to learn a few things, hopefully nothing bad.
The art does not matter, the style does not matter. What really matteres is that it fits YOU!, and you make it yours.
OK then, Does any think that a TKD Guy could win against a Karate guy, if they both had the same training, Very simular martial arts but TKD is a sport and so they dont use any deadly strikes, where the Karate guy would be looking at hitting vital points
Grow up…
I dont think it matters which style it depends on the person. Different styles suit different people. If you train hard in your chosen system you should be able to handle yourself.
When you have twins you can give us a correct answer till then we will never really know
Lots of guys with TKD experience fighting in the UFC right now. You think all those spinning kicks come from Muay Thai?**
**SevenStar will say the real Muay Thai has those techniques, but they aren’t used in the ring.
All that post deserves.
:rolleyes:
Sing Along!!!
Ride 'n, Ride 'n, Ride 'n,
Oh them nuts are Ride 'n,
Ride 'n, Ride 'n, Ride 'n,
RAWHIDE!!!
(some of you are too young to remember that show.)
You guys just don’t know how superior judo katana is;)
actually, that’s not what I’d say. I’d say that the back kick is like the third most common kick you see in muay thai. it’s quite prevalent. Spinning… maybe not as prevalent, but definitely there.
ROFLMAO!!!
Oh man… I needed that today…
Well, maybe, but only if you accept the order like this
but after “1” you got
1a low round kick
1b front leg round kick
1c bent leg round kick
1d bent leg front leg round kick
1e neck round kick
1f inside round kick
until
1z final variation of round kick humanly possible…
yea dude. you gotta fight to learn how to fight. you know like every other skill in life you hafta practice the skill to do it well.
its like trying to learn how to cook by watching the cooking channel and then wondering why everyone gets the ****s everytime they eat at your place, or learning how to fix your car by watchin pimp my ride and wondering why u almost dropped the engine on yourself.
it isn’t quite the same if you dont experience things urself. alot of martial artists still can’t figure that out tho… if they did we wouldn’t be having so many style debates i dont think. everyones a kickboxer in the end 
your kidding right
this post shows everybody your obvious misconceptions about Chinese martial arts, what you think we all can fly too right
why dont you do some actual research
