    the reason traditional arts get a bad name

    This is off manswers on spike. You guys might have seen it. They are premoting "the realz d3adly". The most deadly move in MA's.

    When I first watched I just laughed. Then it kinda took me a sec. to think about it, but this video is one of the reasons the traditional arts get a bad name.

    take a look

    Isn't there a name for the technique you would use when you push someone's nose into their skull.

    Or is that 80's action movie fantasy as well?

    What is even more sad is the comments section where some guy claiming to be a sensei touts off about how it is possible. This is the reason TMA gets a bad rep is because of idiots like this.

    The deadliest technique is done with only one finger.

    and you have to squeeze and not pull.
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    It doesn't help when the show asks deliberately outrageous and stupid questions.

    lol.

    I agree but it's what it is. A shock factor type thing. But this isn't the only avenue that displays the idiotic nature of a lot of traditionalist.

    I'm not picking on tradition here lets get that straight. I'm pointing out the "why" as to the bad rep. People are always b!tching that mma/cross trainers are always putting down the traditional arts. I'm saying this is why.

    Silliness gives ANYTHING a bad name and there is far too much silliness in TMA.
