Translation: we like the ground and pound, especially kicking and stomping downed opponents.

I don't think anyone is going to argue that isn't a dandy course of action, but it's nice to be...

"One big advantage to this type of training is that it also gives you the opportunity to learn how to escape from jointlocks or chokes that are being applied with full intent."

That makes sense,...

I sort of understand that, but I don't still don't see the need to bust someone's arm up just because they're too dense or macho to realize they've lost already.

edit - crossposted with Ford, who...

"FWIW, I've popped people's elbows because they wouldn't tap. Looks like I know if it'll work, huh?"

To return to something I said earlier, would you mind explaining why you do this? It strikes...

I think he came after me and Ap because we both waved the same red cape at him: "traditional." Humps has some wierd ideas about what that word means, and even though we tried to correct his...

Did he really study "Economy" at Banana Slug U?

Edit - The Banana Slug thing was bothering me, so I checked and found that it is UC Santa Cruz that has the Banana Slug for their mascot, not UC...

Sweet Jesus, what evil mirror-universe did we pass into while I was away? I have a hunch that if I check a compass, it'll point towards cabbage or something.

"Chang is actually (in my humble opinion) one of the most insightful posters I've come across."

Aw, now I feel all runny inside, Ap.

Thanks!

I better take a pepto, though.

Bye.

Do you mean "Economics" perhaps, humps?

Try this - go to the start of the thread and try reading all my posts. Look for the ones where I repeatedly try to talk some sense into RD about the danger...

Tell you what, humps. Why don't you show me what a big dummy I am by pointing out where I said I practice crotch shots and eye gouges?

You know, his first post was pretty smart. And then he just decided to start bashing for no reason at all. And responding to points I didn't make. He went downhill REAL fast.

Camel Killer - I...

If you can't listen to civil talk, expect people to lose patience with your thick-headedness.

You know what? Grow the fu(k up, idiot. I'm not talking about "eye gauges(sic)" and crotch shots. I'm talking about regular, old fashioned, free sparring. Punches, kicks, locks and throws (da,...

link please?

I think you're misusing the term "traditional" Camelkiller. It's pretty traditional in most martial arts to occassionally beat the crap out of each other to make sure your sh!t is tight. Which is...

Xeb - when responding with "i dont got sister, only brother" to a taunt like 7*'s, the proper followup is "no wonder he's been complaining about his butt hurting."

I'd rather lose a match than cave some guy's head in because the ref was told by the promoter that the crowd wants blood.

I'd probably be a lousy mma competitor anyway, though.

I was speaking for myself, not MMA at large, and I do not practice MMA.

I don't know what Batteti's injuries were, but Frye could have easily killed him with those knees if the fight continued and...

And furthermore, let me say that sport SHOULDN'T be brutal. I mentioned earlier that I think refs in mma often let fights go on too long. And I don't care for MPs attitude of keeping on fighting...

Sport=not brutal, for ****'s sake! You're talking about sport not mma when you talk about rules!

Let's try this again...

"MMA Is NOT brutal, it seeks to submitt. (sic)"

should be

"In a sport context like UFC or Pride, MMA is not seeking to kill the opponent and the rules reflect this by...

RD - You never saw one of those clips of Mark Kerr kneeing a guy in the head on the ground repeatedly? Another good example of the "non-brutal" groundfighting found in MMA is the Don Frye-Amaury...
