Actually, I will agree with you for a change -- I do KNOW what doesn't work, so I am an expert of sorts on failure. I spent too, too many years doing what everyone in WCK does (forms, chi sao, drills, etc. and some light "sparring"). I listened to the "masters" and "grandmastes" and thought they knew what they were talking about. I bought into the conventional wisdom. In other words, I was training to fail. I didn't know it at the time. And I used the same excuses, reasoning, etc. that I hear on this forum.
That was before I developed a bullsh1t meter. As I previously told you, this is a post from one of my favorite blogs, and it spells it out:
http://caneprevost.wordpress.com/200...ullsh1t-meter/ (replace bullsh1t with the accurate spelling to get the link to work).
Once you accept that between 5 and 95 % of what you hear or see taught is bullsh1t, and that the only way to discern what is and what isn't bullsh1t is through realistic (alive) training, then you too can stopped being fooled.
Mas Oyama wasn't "well-versed" in judo.

You apparently don't understand what cross-training means. The link talked about Fedor and how he, like all MMAists, cross-train. What that means is they train outside their disciplines/arts, with good, proven people in other disciplines that comprise MMA, like boxing, MT, BJJ, wrestling, etc.
Look, Fedor certainly isn't a muay thai practitioner. But he's cross-trained in it so that he could deal with the plum, etc. All MMA fighters do since they know they are going to face it.
You don't seem to grasp that they all cross-train in whatever proves to work in MMA. That's because even if they don't want to do those particular things, they need to face and learn how to deal with them (they don't want to face them for the first time in a ring or cage). The BJJ guys cross-train to learn sambo leg locks (and how to defend them), for example.
I think that this is something people seem to always forget and I don't know why.
"know your enemy".
It is one of the oldest MA sayings or all time.
When people ask me how to "defend" the shoot or "defend" the mount I tell them to go train freestyle wrestling (shoot) and BJJ ( mount) or MMA, not because they should become MMA'ists but because they will be able to KNOW what they are trying to "defend" themselves from.
That may or may not be true, but it does bring up an interesting point. Supposedly, there were all of these great fighters who wanted desperately to get into the new fighting arena called the UFC, but the Gracies were keeping them out. At the time, it cost next to nothing to set up one of these tournaments and sell it on pay-per-view. The the first few UFC's had some of the highest buy rates in the history of pay-per-view and the model was a potential goldmine.
Were all these guys who supposedly wanted to fight to show how good they were so stupid that none of them figured out they could get rich by outdoing the UFC and putting on their own tournament in which all of these "real" fighters and world champions competed against each other? A thinking person has to wonder, if there were all of these world-class fighters who wanted to demonstrate their skills, but were being excluded, why didn't someone simply create another tournament for them?
again my boy you really dont seem to grasp ANYTHING as of late
blame it on stupidity or fetal alchohol sydrome but you seem to be off your rocker even more than usual:D
when you cant make your point you veer off inot all these nonsenical rants and post links that have nothing to do with the subject at hand
please fix that
