	imaloon1 posted: I wonder what it would look like if all the Internet tough guys gathered in a thread... I took a few years of TKD as a fun way to spend an hour or so a couple of times a week. It was definitely a McTKD school. I had a blast, learned the basic techniques they taught to the point of being reasonably effective sparring vs. my peers, and concluded that TKD as a martial art in that area was taught for ritualized combat rather than street fighting. I don't think in any real world situation I would ever throw most of the kicks they taught beyond snap kicks. Otoh, the punching and striking stuff will always be handy and hopefully help prevent me from breaking my hand bones if I have to deal with a belligerent drunk osemthin. -----signature----- I radiate more heat than light.

When I was in 7th grade the rasslin douches used to get all hyped up about their silly TV show and whenever anyone made fun of it or them, they'd all start yelling and screaming at what a douche you were... and about how the JYD could beat your ass because you thought rasslin was stupid... or about how they could probably beat you up themselves because you thought Hulkamania was dumb... You crack me the fk up dude. Seriously. At least I'm cracking you up. You are still making no fkn sense. MMA is not a TV show, it is a sport. I don't give a rats ass if you like MMA. You've been in this thread from the beginning claiming to be some kind of martial arts expert, which I certainly am not. Allow me to introduce you to your own douchebaggery. Cawk posted: MMA styles are great for fighting MMA fights. For all other weaponless fights that one may encounter, knowing ANY martial art is probably best - Judo may be suboptimal for a street fight unless you've got some striking techniques thrown in. You are professing a great knowledge of MMA and Judo. Cawk posted: However, when you throw someone to the ground, effectively stopping their attack on you, THEN attack back by jumping on them and choking them out, you've gone beyond your legal right to defend yourself unless you can show that the person presented a clear threat to you while laying on the ground - tough to do. You are an internet lawyer. Cawk posted: Yeah, if you want to bring a kid up into MMA fighting, get them instruction in a wide variety of throwing, striking, boxing, grappling styles. Here is the biggest line that shows you full of shit. MMA fighters train nearly ALL styles. Boxing, wrestling, BJJ, Judo, etc. That's what MMA stands for MIXED martial arts (In words you may more easily understand, "a variety of martial arts styles" Here is your precious TKD vs BJJ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swwLIRnRzbU The rules? BJJ guy couldn't punch or elbow but the TKD guy could. You seem to defend crappy TKD like some 13 year old defending their favorite WWE wrassler! Or maybe we should just bow down to your superior street fighting experience. -----signature----- "The reason they call it the American Dream is because you have to be asleep to believe it."

	MMA fighters do not even come close to training ALL styles of martial arts. there are probably thousands of styles. what they do is cherry pick techniques from various styles that are easy and potentially effective so they can start wrastling. they dont even come close to fully training ANY style of anything MMA is basically a style of its own with a judo base and a few other handy techniques thrown in for good measure. and i think a skilled TKD fighter would probably own most MMA fighters in a real fight. like ive mentioned before, kidney spears, spleen hits, throat attacks, hits to the back of the neck and head, nut shots.... those are all valuable techniques that an MMA fighter wouldnt know how to counter because he doesnt have to deal with them in a ring, with rules against those types of shots. -----signature----- Jesus?

	Jesus, both of you shut up. This thread went from a "my daddy can beat up your daddy" to a noU! thread and isn't worth the potential meltdown either of you are heading towards. If someone's going to meltdown at least do it in an entertaining way in a thread someone cares about. -----signature----- "Goddammit, Swearengen, I don't trust you as far as I could th'ow you, but I enjoy the way you lie."
