Martial Artists in the Tough Man.
Although, I'm not really a big fan of the tough man competitions, I do find them interesting.
I have had several friends (skilled martial artists)who entered a tough man competition and got their @$ handed to them.
Come to think of it, I have never seen a martial artist do well in tough man competitions.
Why do you guys think that martial artists don't do well in the tough man?
Classical MA in a TOUGHMAN Comp?
My experience with people in general, they can't to do Toughman Stuff. Why? They must take it as well as dish it out. And that's the problem the average MA student hate to experience the physical...

I must be watching the wrong thing!!
Err... I remember watching 2 MA win toughman. One was a black Goju karate guy and I can't recall the other. (have to dig through the tapes)
Funny thing is toughman isn't THAT serious of a competeition most of the guys are just regular blokes who want to just get in the ring and pound someone, anyone remembers the guys name that got arrested after he lost? He had PYSCHO tattooed on his stomach!!! Apt!
When I was stateside I went to local ones, promos they had at several bars, clubs, etc. I enter a few, after a couple of drinks I'll do almost anything:D <not that perverts> I won everymatch I entered, but thats me can't compare that with your average nonmeglomaniactic optomist:D

i've never understood the ego argument. take two martial artists. one is entering into a situation where he KNOWS that there's some chance he'll be beaten in front of an audience. the other doesn't put himself in that position. which one is taking less chances with their ego?
VERY GOOD POINT!!!! Who has the bigger ego the one who is willing to take a gamble and prove himself or the one who doesn't have the guts to step up?
