The old MMA double standard
Quote:
Grapplers have a natural advantage because they can go all out, even in training and get into a position, under full pressure, where they can then apply a lock or choke. To go further and break an arm, I assume, is incredibly easy.
I know when I grabbed my opponents windpipe if I pulled hard enough, I could have ripped it out or crushed it. Fu&*%^ common sense. Grapplers don't go all out if they're not killing people. Others styles go just as hard. I have had a concussion bruised ribs and inflicted my share of pain as well. Grapplers don't possess a monopoly on full contact.
The fact that I have gotten the best of MMA practioners in past, suggest that all so called traditional CMA are not as weak and useless as you would like to believe.

Ok. I don't practice breaking people's arms. I don't claim that as a special skill. I have, however, broken people's arms in actual confrontations. I don't assume that I can break someone's arm at will in any given situation, and I sure as hell don't offer it as an all-purpose hope/excuse.
Well according to your confession and past comments on this thread you just practice theory.
Using the example of the tiger claw:
If I practice boxing skills, defenssive skills and can see oppenings or weakness in my opponents, just as easily as I can throw a jab, a hook, or any other boxing technique, I can rake your face. If my hands are conditioned, you will lose flesh and possibly an eye. I dont need to see it done simply because I have seen how conditioned hands have gone through harder substances than flesh and its application is executed through boxing skill.
I don't center my fighting around this technique or any other. This was just an example.

And then you could finally overthrow the rich bad guy who has been bullying the town, leave your job as bouncer at the Roadhouse, and ride off into the sunset with the blond doctor lady.

Because you have imagined it so very, very well. And Danny Dojo at the strip mall assures you that it will work because "back in the day" pretty much everyone in Chinatown did this a few times a week.

Tell me, how many windpipes have you ripped out of people's throats?
