Some people wonder why CMAs get no respect as fighting arts from parts of the MA community.
Watch the clip. Then read the posts trying to downplay the ****poor (sloppy, off-balance, no power) skills of both combatants. If you don't get it after that.... you don't get it.
Or the one about "missing subtleties." Apparently, stumbling around like a drunken fratboy, throwing wild punches in vain at your opponent, is "subtle." This must be a new usage of the word subtle I'm unfamiliar with.
Thank heavens there are guys like Muppet and Crimson on here willing to call a spade a spade.
I'm 100% certain there are guys out there who can fight with CMA's. I'm 100% certain these two weren't in that group.
