The Myth of the Knifefighter

[Ray Pina]

Great post!

...

I definitely have a sense of humor. I just don't like how a handful of guys attack Knife Fighter ever chance they get. They point the finger very easily but they haven't raised their fists to settle their own martial arts business, see exactly where they stand in the scheme of things. I don't like it. It's not manly, it's certainly not honorable from a martial artists point of view.

LOL @ the Burger king fool at the McDonalds convention trying to call them a "cult".
News flash: You're in a cult of thought too, dumb ass.
I nominate you as the most asinine poster of 2006. Certainly the most full of shit.

Hey! This thread is about bashing me.

Start another thread about Yenhoi if you want to bash him.

Thanks for watching my back, Ray. It's OK, though. It's not like I haven't been harassing these guys for a long time to start with. I deserve a Knifefighter bashing thread... all in good fun- even if they are clueless kung fu pretend fantasy fighters.

In my opinion, he played with a average looking wing chun guy, and looked funny and masiverly non threatening
After a long time of reading his posts, I was amazed to find that hes about 55kg and so old!

Yes, I am funny looking, very old, and massively non-threatening... and I talk funny.

why'd you post the cover of last month's "OUT" under your post

[lunghushan]

I vote for Knifefighter for BJJ promoter of the year award.

Ross, I think you are getting me mixed up with Able.

He's the Romoboy.

hey knifefighter

do you compete in the exec division? on the video did you fight bareknuckle or what was it open palm?

[lunghushan]

He doesn't look that old -- what is, he, 45 or something?

Anyways, I agree to your point, KF, that most CMAists can't apply their stuff in the ring. But I disagree about the standing arm break thing.

I'd have to agree that most CMAists probably don't have the training or strength to pull it off in a fight with a resisting opponent, but I don't think it's impossible.

It isn't really anything that I personally would train for anyway, since it would be a very low percentage technique.

I mean, if you happen to be going for a throw and they resist or something, and it's convenient, sure, break their arm, why not, but I don't think you should go into a fight thinking, "I'm gonna break his arm."

Ever hear of a guy named Bruce Lee?

[lunghushan]

Basically, I think the entire problem with this discussion is pretty simple.

Most people study martial arts and think that weapons and striking and grappling techniques are different. They study some fist form, or fist drills, they study some weapons form or weapons drills, and they study some grappling or ground fighting.

And since their martial art doesn't integrate weapons with striking and grappling, they have to run around and learn other arts and integrate them in their practice.

Most CMA wasn't designed with integrated grappling. Most karate, etc., actually has integrated stand up grappling in the forms, but most people don't know how to use it. But most karate doesn't have integrated weapons.

So you're incomplete as a fighter. Bruce Lee was incomplete as a fighter so he ran around learning other martial arts to 'complete' him. What he came up with was an amalgamation of things -- what's taught in most JKD schools around here is wing chun - boxing - kali - with some judo and wrestling because he ran around trying to complete himself.

Extra, Extra, Read all about it...Extra, Extra, Read all about it...

-Joe, went to his local 18 hole golf course to take up golf. After talking with the Club Chump at the Pro Shop, Joe was very excited and remembered to take down everything the Club Chump had told him. After being screwed by The Chump for his new set of Ping Irons and Titleists, Joe went and bought some instructional videos, some gimmicks and gadgets, and the like...

Joe practiced and practiced, and played and played. On one spring day, he took a lesson from the Club Chump as they played a round. The Club Chump asked Joe, "Why do you want to learn golf so much?" Joe said, "Because I want to be a professional golfer." To which the Club Chump replied, "Oh, well, we have wasted so much time here then. I'll get you signed up for a pro am next week. You need to be competing." And to which Joe replied, "Man your good. I see why you are a club chump. Why aren't you playing on tour and beating Tiger???..."


-Man says to local community college baseball pitcher. "You got a good arm, why ain't you been recruited?"

-And as for the hustler at the bowling alley, the pool hall, and the swap meet...???


You decide??? Oh, oh that's right! Sport fighting is fighting, and fighting is instinctual and much less structurally complicated than all the above.


New MMA student, formerly a TCMA forms junkie, asks his Coach just before his first fight...

"Can I punch him in the eye?"

Coach says, "Yeah, try to work his eyes with your jabs."

Student replies, "But I can't finger strike him in the eye?"

Coach says, "No, it is impossible to finger strike someone in the eye. You can only punch someone in the eye."

Student replies, "But if I keep my hand open, and stick my fingers out and bend them a little like I always do during walking, and well, just most day to day activities, I've got more reach than if I just close my fist, right? And these gloves, they are giving me even more support!"

Coach says, "Punching someone in the eye is a gross motor movement, but finger striking someone in the eye is not. See, as you walk along during the day, you dont really notice it, but you are constantly clinching your fists."

After confusing the student for many many more minutes, especially about Matt Hughes getting kicked in the groin, out of no where a TCMA Sifu walks up and joins the conversation. He listens for a minute and says...

"MMA Coach I challenge you!"

MMA coach says, "Ok."

They fight for a good while and in the end...One got his finger and arm broke, the other one got his eye fuucked up, but neither of them went to fight Chuck. In the end of it all, as long as Tito Ortiz and Jenna Jameson make the Fighting Fuucker of the Universe....The world will find Utopia forever and there will be no more problems whatsoever. Speaking of which...

Did you ever hear about the man who thought he was good at sex? He couldn't make it in porn...Ha.

We all know you like to be the "bottom".

And it's not like KF doesn't attack everybody every chance he gets? This is all in response to his attacking Shuai Chiao, isn't it? Oh, wait, no, then he attacked standing arm breaks ... what did he attack before?

Basically his position seems to be CMA sucks, you are CMAists who don't do ring fighting therefore you all suck.
