CMAists, Do you fight?

[Knifefighter]

Intent, look it up, its the TRUE difference between hard contact and TRUE full contact.

LOL... you think the intent is different when you are trying to take someone's head off in the street vs. the ring? Sorry, no difference. I seriously doubt you fought competitive boxing or Kboxing.

So, the ring is life or death?

Ever been in a brawl with MULTIPLE fights going on around you ( in a ring??)and then hear a bottle break? At that point there's a pyscho that could be running around cutting people. I've seen it happen.

There's the difference in intent.


Twist that up to fit YOUR experience.
And when was your last street fight? You talk alot about the reality fights you fight in, but have you ever grappled on the street, on actual pavement?

I have. don't forget to cut that from your response to my post.

I seriously doubt you have two brain cells to rub together. Although you seem to spend an inordinate amount of time rubbing something else.

Can't you find another tactic? This one is, like you, so old and boring.

This "pee-a-boo i don't see you" thing is tardy. Are you ever on time for anything?

I mean seriously, "i'm smart, you're stuuuuuuuupid." is for 3rd graders.

Its one thing to play the superior card with some noobie kid and quite another to play it with Ronin. Its makes you look very dumb.

This poll continues to grow away from your favor. Your response, "they are obviously lieing". How convenient.

As for the intent issue, you're a fruitcake psycho if you think both are the same.

oh no joo di-int...

Dale here is a veteran of 1000 to the death struggles. He has killed more men than heart disease. he once killed a man just see him die in another language.

So he's like the Chuck Norris of the MMA world?

And can we drop the MA from MMA and call it what it is? Mixed Fighting Styles.

Arts tend to be rounded, i.e. weapons and such.

Don't see that in MMA

Oh yeah, except Knifefighters' butter knife.

[Kung Pao]

I don't understand why kung fu guys insist on fighting so much. They seem to have this idea in their head about being professional fighters. They think sparring is weak or something. Well, professional fighters spar. Boxers spar. MMA fighters spar. They don't go full contact 24/7, and rarely do outside of their fights because they don't want to get injured...duh. I spar with some pro and amateur fighters. It's not what some of you think. They don't always call it sparring, but it is the exact equivalent. Hell, most of the time they're not aloud to get hit, and the other guy is just meat for punching, lol.

Message to all: your probably not a professional fighter. Stop trying to be one (to MMA guys as well). There's nothing wrong with being honest about it.

There's nothing wrong with sparring. It teaches you how to react to attacks in efficient manners. the MMA guys on here are ridiculous. I train with plenty of MMA guys. 90% are not pros. 40% of them can't fight worth a lick, and look down on TMA's, but after I beat them they say : "Well, you're an exception. You train against MMA." Well, honestly, it's not the MMA. It's the TMA.

Funny how much posturing goes on on this forum.

Well, you need good posture to sit behind a keyboard.

Because the McDojo-ization of MMA is coming to a full head of steam. The propaganda against TMA is set into each and every monthly paying dolt who walks in to any school in the country. Its the same propaganda that TMA has been swilling out for decades. They put you in front of a mirror and stroke you with lies about how deadly, and perfect. and superior you'll be over your fellow man. When in truth only a small percentage of the over all influx of students will have the time and perseverance to attain real talent.

O man, that was funny!! I never laugh that hard early in the morning.

...die in another language...lol

[RonH]

You're all wimps. My kwoon is tough. We only spar with chainsaws and If you make a mistake, sifu shoots you in the leg.

Hahahahaha!

I chose with little contact because I don't see how excessive pain is a big help with fighting in CMA. You're lucky you don't screw up and accidently do major damage to someone. If it's energy center stimulation that you want, doing it with your mind is far more effective.

[David Jamieson]

undercard fighters invariably take it easier on each other in my experience. whether they are told to do so or not. it has more to do with lack of experience than anything.

just like when we say "sorry" all the freaking time when we spar early on.

sorry nothing, you tagging the guy you are doing it right. lol


otoh, yes head hunting and the k.o is the path and the goal of sportive combative. Except nowadays, the choke factor is coming in. The slam factor may make it's way in there yet, but spiking someone on the head can be fatal....probably best to keep that one on the rule books for now.

Wrong... if anything, inexperienced fighters go so hard they get gassed too soon.

This might not be fatal, but only because the fight gets stopped. Compare that to the "street". Knifefighter, you can play your mma vs. everything else game indefinately, but you know you're full of shiz.
