Does MMA inhibit objective thinking?

[QUOTE=Knifefighter;759336]i.e. a system developed by a bunch of theoretical non-fighters based on how they think fighting is supposed to be rather than how it really is, whose participants pretend to train against compliant partners.[/QUOTE]

You are confusing what goes on today with the BS family kiddie day cares and the the real fighting reality of its inception.

You are deluded to the MAX if you think it was just all some picnic. Your colon is bursting with bullshit.

Note the sig:

Coming from a guy who calls himself “grandmaster sensei.”

[QUOTE=Mega-Foot;759338]I’ve never had a compliant partner outside the bedroom.

In my fights, my opponents never even see it coming. As soon as they do, it’s too late. Fight won.

Rio Bravo, or Johnny Bravo, or whatever his name is–he wouldn’t have seen the first punch thrown, nor the kick. By then, he’d be dead.[/QUOTE]

What do you mean by this? You just sucker punch people? You sneak up behind them and attack? If that is the case you arent a good fighter. You’re more of a criminal than anything.

I’ve come to learn, that the times I was most wise to engage in a fight, I felt like a criminal… I knew before we started that I would beat the guy. That my fist, elbow or knee would crash into his head and/or torso to an extent that they would submit. And everytime I feel a little like, “why did I have to go and do that for.”

At the same time, I’ve been on the receiving end. I’ve looked across at a man that had more of it than me that day and just had his way with me. Beat me.

But that’s better than losing foolishly to someone you knew you had not only more of “it”, but better technique too. Those are the hard ones.

Either way, the type of straight up, chin to chin fighting that you imply to respect, is foolish. If you truly put yourself out there, you do so cautiously. Hand to hand, blade to blade, gun to gun, missle to missle… there is no difference: **** up the other guy as badly and as quickly as possible while remianing as safe as possible.

If I really had beef with someone they wouldn’t see me coming… but I’m sure I’d torture them too.:slight_smile:

[QUOTE=SifudisAbeled;759551]As if MMA guys were some ubermensch race of super beings. Bullshit[/QUOTE]

Yeah! Everyone knows its cartwheeling demo-gods like you who are the real supermen! :rolleyes:

There’s a lot of bull5hit going on on both sides of this…

  1. Lots of TMA people who’ve bought the hype that sparring is secondary to all the other aspects of training, and therefore they don’t spend enough time with all-out hard contact sparring - including against guys who are going to try and take them down and continue the fight from there with their grappling skills…

  2. Lots of MMA people who think that they’re the end-all-and-be-all when in fact a big portion of what they do they’d be crazy to try in many a street fight type scenario…precisely because they’ve bought into the BJJ hype that striking is secondary - so their standup skills are underdeveloped.

Think I’ll go check out another thread. :rolleyes: :cool:

It’s the guys who play all the ranges that know where the money is.

Oh yes, we all know the real supermen hide in the shadows too afraid to even mention what city they live in. :rolleyes: For fear that the mass of disgruntled challengers would show up at the door in a line a mile long. YOU have no face. You have no name. You have no body. You are nothing. Nothing except being the poster child for a deluded runaway ego that had a short run of success back in college 20 years ago and is now a rotund powderpuff that would probably pop like a balloon at the first sign of pressure. You are a fat Elvis.

God, what a little toad you probably are IRL.

BTW, I still spar REGULARLY. With hard contact. You?

[QUOTE=SifubAbel;760188]BTW, I still spar REGULARLY. With hard contact. You?[/QUOTE]

Oh gosh, you ‘spar’ regularly! That is amazing! You must do, like, a hundred cartwheels a day! That 'sparring stuff sounds pretty serious, I wouldn’t want to mess with that. Whoo, man, no wonder no one takes you up on your offer of not coming to visit you after you cower out of agreed meetings to go meet with them.

You are a scary, cartwheeling monster.

I’ll meet with you anytime you like, poindexter.

Pft, If I had a nickle for everyone that threatened to “find” me I’d be rich. And just who did I agree to meet and then cower away from? I’ve been waiting for a LOOOOOOOOOOOOng time. The latest was a guy that wanted to tear me limb from limb only to be serenaded to the tune of, “oh, I got bronchitis for a whole month, we’ll have to postpone…two months later.” :rolleyes:

You just love to wank to the tune of “the beat goes on.”

You were born to the tune of, “He’s a real nowhere man, sitting in his nowhere land , making all his nowhere plans, for nobody.”

frightening

Hey, don’t scare me like that! I’ve seen what your devastating skills have done to others you stayed away from. Just calm down man, no need to get crazy now…:eek:

gotta go with your strengths…

Babel fish :Translation(UNKOKUSAI TO ENGLISH): " I have nothing real to say. Just some pseudo wit to cover the fact that as an aged out once-was I cannot actually commit to anything since its been 20 years since my college glory days. And now, I’m a self loathing retard that would get my ass handed to me by a bag lady. "

[QUOTE=unkokusai;760385]LOL! You sure have…[/QUOTE]

LOL @ unkuretardsai. He lives vicariously through others.

Nobody needs my expressed permission to show up. No “mother may I” is needed.

I’m in Riverside, Ca. Where are you?

So who am I hiding from?

[QUOTE=unkokusai;760385]LOL! You sure have…[/QUOTE]

You didn’t answer my question.
