Brazilian jiujitsu is superior.
I am training but not training martial arts. I am doing some very serious training though. My endurance has literally tripled since i fought shoalin tiger.
I have been watching Dragonball cartoons on cartoon network. Dragonball cartoons really inspire me to train.

I believe STYLE do matter…the reality is there are styles out there that are more equiped for modern day combat that the COMMON individual can use. Some of them are traditional…some are not. But Style do matter. There is a reason why many lose interest in a style…whether the ability to attain combat effectiveness is non existant in certain styles. All in all a punch is a punch a kick is a kick a lock is a lock but the style dictates how an individual fights. So the individual becomes the style. Or his own interpretation of it. But like I said I don’t believe BJJ is the ONLY effective style out there…it’s just that BJJ is prob. the most effective ground fighting style.
Ralek…Funaki was not the best NHB FIGHTER…nor was he ever…he only fought NHB 2 or 3 times…getting killed in his first NHB fight by BRAGA. Funaki is famous in PANCRASE but by the time he fought RICKSON he was a fallen warrior.

How are training? WHat are you doing? Talk!

Spinning Backfist
The story of Dempsey was true, and what made it even more incredible is he threw the punch while sitting in the back of a cab and still knocked the punk out. How many of us will be able to throw a knockout punch while seated when we are that old? How many could do it now? Admittedly, not me.
I don’t get mad.
I get stabby.
Dragon Ball Z is great, the Kame Hame Ha technique is very efective.
BTW, have you became a Super Sayajin already, Ralek?

One more thing…
DBZ in USA is censored!! You dont see all the blood and stuff. If you want the real stuff (more efective) buy the original japanese version with subtitles on VHS or DVD.
In Brazil there is very little censorship on DBZ, so I’m always one step ahead of you when it comes to DBZ fighting.

BTW Mindboxing has not been represented in the UFC yet either, they kept us out by adding rule 329: no chi blasting and rule 412: no rooting. Levitation is still legal, however, I understand they are currently working to make that one illegal also.
"It's not really NHB because they won't let me bring a platoon of Navy SEAL's with Blackhawk fire support into the ring!"
-WatchmanA little ufc trivia: The no donut rule was added after keith Hackney defeated Yarborough(sp). If you watch the tape closely, you will see Keith toss a coconut creme donut to the canvas (Yarborough’s favorite) forcing Yarborough to drop to his knees and subsequently receive a brutal beating in which Keith breaks his hand. As you can understand it just wasn’t fair so rules were definitely needed, anyhow it would be very difficult to make excuses without them.

-WatchmanI don’t know whether the San Soo guy who got beat was good or bad. I’m not really experienced enough to tell. However, I think it’s pathetic to whine about how he wasn’t a good representative for kung fu, etc, when he had more guts than pretty much anyone on this forum, from the look of it. Maybe one day the knockers on here will work up the guts to test their skills in the same way, wind up taking a beating and then have a chance to see the kung fu “community” turn their backs on you and disown you. Probably not, though. Life isn’t usually that fair.
San Soo wasn’t invented in China. Wasn’t an amalgamation, purification, redefinition, or other tradition of previous chinese techniques. Doesn’t look, in training nor presentation, like any kungfu style.
But yes, a chinese guy invented it.
Given this, I would not call it a style of kungfu. Although of course generizing “kungfu” as a martial style is pretty ridiculous, as there’s as much difference within kungfu styles as there is between any given kungfu style and any given non-kungfu style.
LOL!
Nice to see JJJ back on the scene. 
Ralek, some of my Japanese friends say that I remind them of Goku! 
Should I be flattered?

Wongsifu, if you dont like my style, well you just have to read it, I wont change it. I talk about WT and Emin because they simply rock.

My training is not watching Dragonball cartoons. Those just motivate me to train.
My training consists of running and jump rope.

These tourneys are already happening, but since they aren’t on TV they must not be real.
One must toughen up without losing one’s tenderness.
Fantastic post Jimmy
Yes styles do matter, the’re not everything; hell the’re probably not even the most important thing but to say that they don’t matter at all is just plain denial.

True, alot of NHB fights end up in knockout now, but every one in NHB is a really good grappler too. If not for their good grappling base, they wouldn’t be able to stand up and fight, IMHO.

Not everyone. Mirko “CroCop” Filipovic won Funaki with minimal ground training.
