    "Ultimate Top Ten Arts" on TLC

    Did anyone see this?

    Here is the list:

    10. BJJ
    9. Kali
    8. Krav Maga
    7. TKD
    6. Aikido
    5. Juko Kai(lol)
    4. Ninjutsu
    3. Muay Thai
    2. Karate
    1. Shaolin Kung Fu

    All I can say is LMFAO @ this show!! They gave no criteria for their choices, except bull like:

    "For proving that size doesn't matter, BJJ takes our #10 spot"

    Well I gotta give credit to the Israelis, the Krav Maga stuff looked pretty cool.

    Why they put Tkd over Kali, Krav Maga, and Bjj as a tough art I'll never know

    They obviously weren't ranking the styles in terms of effectiveness.

    But, what the hell were they ranking them for???? The whole thing seemed so pointless.

    It was more of a "top ten for the hell of it".

    It clearly wasn't based on popularity. After all, Juko Kai made the list.

    It obviously wasn't based on combat effectiveness, after all, Juko Kai made the list.

    And it obviously wasn't based on health and fitness. After all, Juko Kai made the list.

    top ten

    It was part of "Testosterone Week". But that doesn't really explain anything does it?

    HAW! HAW! HAW! Great show on TLC.



    HAW HAW HAW!!! I suppose I could squeeze my style of shotokan in at about 2.5 since goju-ryu was the chosen karate style, but at least it ain't g*dd*mn LAST on the totem pole.

    BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Funny, funny stuff. Even funnier, that JUDO-KAI, the nut kicking cult make it on to the list! And remember that chick who failed her judo-kai black belt test, but she wasn't knocked out, just "sleeping"? Yeah, she was on there with all the other little judo-kai clones. She had her kitty kicked by some guy. It was cute and made me kind of hot.

    S.O.L. for BJJ, limping in last. Perhaps if they kicked more people in the balls the BJJ players might rank higher on TLC's list? It's gotta blow being beat out by judo-kai!--

    I wonder by what criteria these styles were judged?Maybe by what looks the deadliest?Which style is therotically the most devastating?I can relate this to football;Everybody either runs a 4-3 or a 3-4 defensive scheme.Anything else is a nice theory at best.
    Would you ask your men to carry a weapon that was “theorized” to work but had never been field tested to meet the high demands of modern day special operations? Of course not! Then why should we “assume” that the stunts and routines that are taught in most unarmed combative courses will work for real? The fact of the matter is that most of these courses, regardless of their many colorful origins, offer techniques that have not been “battle tested” against aggressive, non-compliant individuals.

    hey, the show was a promotion for all martial arts whether or not yours or mine was in it.

    I liked it, it was light, but it was pretty fun.
    At least it wasn't gardening or home renovations

    peace
    p.s how could Shaolin Kung fu not be #1? It's the grandaddy of them all. nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah. hahahaha.
    Kung Fu is good for you.
