Think fast

[Ray Pina]

You have to face your ultimate empty hand combative experience.... fighting for the light heavy weight UFC belt... or facing of against an athletic man slightly larger than yourself in a bar... or fending off an unarmed robbery by a sketchy looking dude who's slightly shorter and narrower than you but wearing a hoody.

You have zero training. You have eight months to prepare (money is not a factor and you have no other commitments/responsibilities) but can only train at one place. Which will it be?


The Wudang Temple

The Shaolin Temple

The boxing gym under the elevated train

The third floor kickboxing gym

The mixed martial arts gym on the outskirts of town

[TenTigers]

I would definately choose WuDang Temple.









But I would have the best boxing, Muay Thai,Grappling, and power trainers there with me.

8 months?

wow, talk about hypothetical lol.

[GunnedDownAtrocity]

i would have sex with all their grandmothers so good they wouldnt want to mess with me.

[NJM]

cross train in Monkey to deal with the grappling issue.

you won't see me wasting time boxing either.

Train at the MMA gym to fend off the unarmed robbery from the smaller guy.

Ray,

no offence mate, but since you made your training more realistic I'd've thought you would've had better things to do with your time than procrastinate with ludicrous hypothetical bull**** that's been done to death.

RD, you're plain ol fulla****.

the ignorance of this thread topic is astounding. to equate the benefit of training based on where one trains is absurd. it's not where you train, it is how you train... to think that people actually jump onto this bandwagon train of though is asinine to say the least... but do carry on... label yourselves and your training places; give all things a sticker so you can identify with it...

[GunnedDownAtrocity]

i like stickers.

espeically the mr. yuck ones. reminds me of getting head.

I'm torn between choosing kicking boxing and MMA. I wonder if in the eight months, the time devoted to learning a little BJJ would detract from working hands and feet. But the escapes from side control, mount, guard could be easily learned in 8 months. So MMA.

Also, I think WHERE you train determines HOW your train. So I think it is most relevant.

Sorry. Didn't know a similar topic was already posted.

The day is long and I'm without TV right now. So internet while eating or while listening to some tunes before surfing works for me.

Interesting to note you have 2,000 more posts than me. What are you doing with your time? You'll see what I've been doing with mine when I post my next fight footage.

then you are seeking externally for what can be found internally. it's the state of mind that dictates how you train... mind is the path.

If you are standing in horse for half the class while your teacher shouts "More qi!" I doubt your performance in a fight is wholly dependant on your state of mind.

If the place you train is sub-par, chances are so are you.

then stop doubting...

i train in the best school there is... it's called life and nature is my teacher...

interesting... sub-par is below par... and that is more beneficial than being par; don't you golf?
