Shaolin Monks to compete in MMA LOL!

[Driwen]

if these monks only have fought vs other kung fu masters than they will most likely loose, as the other MMA fighters will most likely know abit about kungfu and know abit about the weak and strong points of it. If those monks dont learn about other styles and maybe incorperate some to improve their weak points (and any style will most likely have them) than they will loose and if they do than they arent true kung fu fighters anymore .

totally, which would mess up their cash flow from their schools the second one of them sprawls out of a takedown hes no longer a pure kung fu chap which could annoy a lot of their masters and nuthuggers

a martial artist who can't improvise and can't see the weaknesses in his opponents, or his own art, is no martial artist.

mma is a sport, its showmanship. painful? yes, dangerous? perhaps. but its still a game. warn, hurt, maim, kill. mma only lets u go as far as the 2nd step. thereby eliminating use of >50% of many martial arts styles...

a true martial artist kills. he doesn't fuck about on the floor

hehe you really need to watch some matches dude, all this too lethal to enter the scene shit has been mocked and shown up time and time again over the years, google for Dim Mack, one of the dudes who uses THE FORCE or something to KO ppl without touching them. quite hilarious videos too, wish i could rem the site.

and these "true martial artists" can never get in the postiion to KILL any proper hybrid fighter, theyd spend most of their time picking up their teeth or getting thier arms and legs set back hehe


nm i found the site
http://www.bullshido.com/ go there, some great comedy!

http://www.bullshido.net/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=1 for the videos. 2nd one is the Dim Mak guy

imo a true martial artists should be able to kill, but should be able to prevent it. However thats my view on it. Also the removal of many martial arts styles that goes for all arts.

A martial art style is teached from a certain view point I assume thats were all the moves come from. That means it has a weak points, if you create it from multiple points than it is a hybrid on itself already and not one style. Now if kungfu is created from one viewpoint, than improvising is done from that viewpoint and so still limited by that points weakness and when he doesnt do that he is outside his own style. It is not be bad to go outside your own style, but it does make you more of a hybrid than a kung fu fighter.

And if that true martial artist cant fight prawned on the floor than that is what all his opponents will force him to do and than he will loose. So than he isnt the true martial artist .

i've only seen a few UFC compilations. no broken bones, very little use of pressure points (tyson uses them more in the ring ) no locks, no paralysis, no deaths and rarely even a knockout. i'm sure there are real no-holds-barred tourneys around but u wont be seeing them on tv anytime soon...

reason muai thai (and derivatives) do so well is because it to is a sport, with rules, just like boxing, except u can use feet/knees etc. in real fights (ie not MMA tourneys) there are no rules, u use what works and the only rule is to win, doing whatever it takes. including breaking bones, gouging eyes out, biting bits off and ultimately, if reqd or desired, killing.

even bruce lee said, "it looks good, but it doesn't work." which is why he started to try to make a hybrid martial art,

Which he spent years perfecting and then realised, near the end, that the form he originally studied "Wing Chun" was far better suited for practical defense purposes than Jeet Kune Do.

No wonder its the most popular form for street fights in Hong Kong.

I dont have anything against Kung Fu or any of the other arts, im just mentionning what happens when a flashy martial art takes on a battle ready art or hybrid, you will notice the sport of 'Sanshou' is basically Muay Thai, it looks and fights nothing like any form of Traditional Kung Fu.

Muay Thai hate Wing Chun. Its one of the few forms which makes mince meat of the Muy Thai style, because its so bare bones and pratical in its approach. Hey, whadda ya know, a Kung Fu style that its very essence, is a quick and dirty form of fighting designed to cope with most circumstances in an unflashy and practical sense.

I do agree with you about the monks though. I believe a can of whupass is seriously gonna get opened up on them.

UFC Pwns. I remember a couple of years ago when the english went over there to compete and there was this guy from Sunderland, Ian Freeman or sommat. ANyway, he was your typical north east pub brawler. Built like a brick shit house, skinhead, full of tatoos, no neck etc. ANyway, he was up against this american fancyboy who was unbeaten and was the "next big thing" or something to that effect. Was fluent in 10 diff martial arts etc. ANyway, this Ian Freeman guy kicked the shit outta him. No fancy leg lock submission moves, just pure brawling. It was mint. This american dude was covered in blood by the end and couldnt stand up. Reminded me of Trevor Burbick after he had fought Tyson
