I could, but I doubt that I could fully explain without writting a book & I do not feel the appreciation of what I write would warrant it.

If you can't do a quick one or two paragraph summary, I doubt you know much about kineseology.

Real-world?? Not yet. Hope it never happens.

Then you don't really know what works for real against multiple opponents.

How much BJJ training do you have?

I have none. Zero. Zilch. I just know I would not want to be breaking someones arm/leg on the ground whilst others are either punching/kicking or worse, at me.

I'm not saying it could not be handled I suppose, but I stand by my statement that staying on the ground in a multiple attacker scenario will get you hurt nontheless.

My opinion. Feel free to disagree.

I could write more than I care to. Replies like this one are why people do not.

Thanks bei for explaining a little in detail the "basic" knowledge of mantis to Knifefighter. After being in the mix for close to 14 years it's common sense to me and you of coarse so when these cats come at you with ignorant rants it boils the blood. I myself have given up explaining these things because it goes in one ear and out the other. Even in knifes post on my other thread he explains what he wants in a style and pretty much mantis covers all of his points. But it doesn't have the "Title" of mixed martial arts so it's inferior and useless to these people.

Since this is my thread I started I say kill it. My point was made I was hoping some other mantis guys could get a read and maybe spark a thought or two about their training. But as per usual the threads get jacked by ignorant rants so please, I know you're itching to pull the trigger. squeeze don't yank the trigger my friend.

Grapplers/groundfighters have just as much chance (if not even slightly greater) than do strikers against multiple opponents.

Knowing both, plus weapons, is always best.

This is a flat out dumb-@ssed statement.
Even if I had "real-world" experience & won or lost, it has no bearing on the outcome of "the next time".

I have no idea that a billion dollars exits either because I've never seen it, touched it, or know anyone else that has.
I do know it exists because someone else has it.

I do know my sifu has used it succesfully. That is sufficient enough for me.

Thats your opinion. stick with it. We know weapons as well; open hand vs. & weapon vs.
All mantis technique.

I just noticed that shirkers1 requested this to be terminated.
I will just lock it though as it has many good points in it even if it did deteriorate

Best wishes to all
