[QUOTE=lkfmdc;806267]most “camp MMA” members really couldn’t care less, but we usually find it amusing when the shiny silk PJ patrol gets on and talks about how tough and deadly they are… it IS a discussion forum, and it’s a great way to kill a half an hour between classes talking to the clueless and ragging on the international Dim Mak federations :rolleyes:[/QUOTE]

rofl!!

I still get a kick out of all this stuff.

great way to kill half an hour?

try eight hours…every day…my job is way to easy.

Mentally I get along with the MMA crowd more often than the CMA crowd. As far as beliefs go in regards training methods, habits and their impact on your abilities.

Though I get a long most with people who would rather just swim around in both worlds and pick up good things where good things are shown.

without any bias ideas about whether this system is worthy of taking information from.

To me there should be no distinction. There should be people who fight and people who dont fight.

Every art has em, TKD, MMA, CMA, JMA…

its all the same **** thing!!!

I love my TCMA and always will. I can use it effectivly for what it was designed for, self defence. I was never taught how to use it in a sport environment and do not pretend I’d do well in a cage fight without training for a cage fight. That does not meen my art wouldn’t do well in a cage fight.

A lack of evidence does not make what ever delusion the nut riders hold true. A lack of successful fighters using TCMA does not make TCMA ineffective. It only says there have been few traditionalists who have won. Period. There’s never been a MMAist who crossed over to Koushu and won, either. But then, there probably hasn’t been an MMAist who tried. Does that meen MMA would work in a Koushu Federation tourny? No.

Since you bring it up, I tried for several years to get applications for my students to fight there. After letters and calls, numerous, and promises I would get the paperwork, numerous, never happened.

Cung Le flew in from CA and was denied entry into the event

What were they afraid of? :rolleyes:

Many times organization sponsored events are not open to non-members. I don’t know if making an event closed meens the participants are afraid of anything. Maybe they just don’t want to let TKD in, since that’s what seems to happen over time to most non-pro tourny; at least in this area.

Kuo Shou is an amature event. It’s got a great platform, and I for one would love to see them open up a pro level, but for now it is still amature. It’s a great stepping stone for a TCMA who wants to fight MMA eventually…but still fight with thier art as Kuo Shou is a Chinese geared venue. Great place to hone your skills, but the next level up would be San Shou or MMA.

They probably do ot want pro fighters in there killing the greener guys of that circute.

I’d be curious to see what they said if you were to talk to them about getting a pro level fight card going with them, under thier platform.

this was back in the 90’s and Cung was an amateur back then…

[QUOTE=lkfmdc;806382]this was back in the 90’s and Cung was an amateur back then…[/QUOTE]

did he have an impressive record at the time or was he well known?

if he was an amateur then maybe they refused him entry on grounds other than being a full contact MMA fighter…

[QUOTE=Lucas;806264]Good.

Its just all so confusing sometimes where people stand.

So with this established, why doesnt everyone just ****ing drop it. CMA is doing its thing in SanDA. If you want to look at fighting aspects of CMA, look at the best in SanShou/DA, Just like everyone does for MMA, we look at the goods. not the bads.

let all the shiny silk pajama guys do what ever they want. who cares.

we know they cant fight, why lump them in the same group with the guys that do fight? thats stupid.

So what, CMA has a much smaller group of fighters than MMA. Its not as popular.

But if you are going to talk about this whole CMA sucks at fighting thing. Use the best CMA FIGHTERS as your example. then break down what THEY are doing that sucks.

otherwise we can just look at the worst MMA fighters and do the same thing.

Peeps looking at, and using the pajama wearers to define ALL CMA, need to look at the worst MMA fighters to define ALL MMA.

then we will be on the same page.

pound for pound, its a given MMA has way more competent fighters.

But who has more isnt the deal IMO

its if it CAN be effective. CMA gets in the ring and fights. Shows skills, and displays effectiveness.

just a different venue.

Personally, i dont claim any “camp”

actually I’ve been thinking heavily about getting into boxing myself.[/QUOTE]

Have to address the bolded line - do you seriously feel at this point in the world that there are more MMA fighters then TCMA practitioners? You seem to be saying there are so MANY mma guys they are bound to produce more good fighters then the tiny l’il TCMA community - I think that’s the opposite of the actual numbers.

Because it’s very hard to be a snob if you let everyone in.:wink:
