So a couple of the current topics got me thinking....i know its rare, but i happens and sometimes i scare myself.

anyhow.

Do any of you think its even possible for a strict TCMA practitioner to enter an MMA event and do well?

now here is the distinction i am drawing.

we all know that TCMA, TRADITIONALLY, is only really tcma if we accept the skills and abilities from any source that is effecient, applicable and tested.

NOW, in this particular thread, i am posing the question from the standpoint of TCMA folks who are of the disposition to believe that their CMA they study has all the elements they need in fighting without having to cross train in wresting, submission fighting, etc.

if that makes sense at all.

the reason i decide to pose the question from the apparently absured notion that some tcma folks have is because this is the weakest link. and we all know a chain is only as good as.....

personally, my answer is No. you cannot. you MUST cross train in the areas your opponents will excell in. yada yada yada....
