Why would one fight MMA ?
What all those Karate ,Aikido, Taekwondo and Jiu Jitsu guys mostly dont know =
Fighting hurts
It hurts a lot.
real fighting means feeling pain, no matter if u lose or win the fight
there was some funny scene in my martial arts life i wont ever forget.
1 year ago at my University i met a classmate whos a traditional Taekwondo blackbelt who also studies sports science.
We did some partner practice with shinpads on !
One of us would kick with the shinbone to teh body and the other one would block it with both forearms turning the upper body into the kick.
So he kicked and i blocked. He kicked like a weak pussy since he wasnt used to full contact.
I asked him to kick really hard since there cant happen anything bad with protection pads on.
He kicked hard to my body with his shinbone and i blocked the kick with both bones of my forearms turning into the kick.
Next view seconds he was lying on the floor like screaming in pain......
I was really really surprised asked him : WTF is wrong here ? U kicked me and now u whine like a girl cause u feel pain ?
he told me that he has so much pain at his shinbone now that he cant do a 3rd kick ... and that we should change now and i do the kicking stuff while he is blocking.
I did a shinbone kick to his body with shin protection on and he did the exact same block i did before.
This time again he was screaming : Stop stop my foreamrs hurt like hell ....
This was some very enlightening momment for me.
Some people who have the tiltle of being a master at Martial Arts dont know the most basic thing about fighting. It hurts !
There are Blackbelts in traditional Martial arts out there who dont know the most simple basic principle about real fighting. It hurts.
Plz dont call out on me being an asshole who hurts people.
1.) He is a blackbelt and did traditional martial arts for 7 years !!!!
2.) we had protections on !!!!
3.) i did the same excersice with my MMA partners 100 times and nobody ever complained !
So u may ask :
If fighting hurts that much then why would u ever do it.
Dont u feel pain while fighting ?
Well i feel pain while fighting.
If u get kneed to the body ellbowed to the head or simply ure low kick gets blocked by opponents shinbone ( without protection in a ring)... it does amazingly hurt.
So why do u still fight when u feel pain while doing it.
Its kinda strange.
For the most part u get kinda used to it and after a while u simply dont care about the pain.
U get hit hard and feel like : " WOW fuck this hurts" for a split second and then after that moment where u realize the pain u simply dont care about it anymore. And get back to the exciting fun part
Here is a nice video about MMA with a fitting NIN song.
My reason for writing this is that at the moment i feel quite a lot of pain at like 20 different places of my body.
And this always reminds me of the funny story with the taekwondo blackbelt

True, thai boxers and traditional boxers can take more pain than all the non-contact fighting sports (karate, etc ...). My trainer used to say you learn how to box with your tears and your blood, the sparing sessions were brutal.
Odds are exactly 50%, either happens or it doesnt

its funny because it comes down to you making the choice to take the pain
i played football and soccer at a very competitive school and training was i guess something like this. maybe the pain isnt as acute but it still gnaws at you and you still have to take it.
i think i did it because it made moments when i wasnt in pain feel more worthwhile i dunno. after running around half the fucking city in a day every day for preseason training, it just feels too good to take a cold shower and feel the pain work itself out of my system.
as lame as it sounds, my coaches always said pain is weakness leaving the body. i kind of enjoy that, so even though im lazy as fuck, i still find the motivation to work out every day, even though there's nothing forcing me to train after high school.

record and upload imo.
I WANT TO SEE PPLUS KICKING ASS.
So if it hurts him and does not hurt you, does that mean that you are a REAL MAN? yes?
Have an opinion about what I said? please say it

Martial arts are a fucking joke and i am also a black betl (red/black since i wasnt old enough for black) so many years wasted in something that is no better than a simple excersize as running.
Believe it or not simply watching MMA will be 10 times more useful for a real fight than training taekwondo for yars.

Nah u didnt really scream
U made some nice dance
U were jumping in circles on one leg while u were holding the other leg where our shines had encounterd into the air
<3
While i dont completely agree with Baal on the second part of his statement.
I also wonder how traditional martial arts can make money while being such a joke.
Traditional Martial arts claiming to teach u Self Defence are probably one of the biggest scams of the last 40 years

dude im talking from experience, i practiced taekwondo for many many years as i mentioned i reached black belt and if i were to get into a street fight now, i would take him to the ground and beat the living shit out of him or break his arm only be watching MMA, its much more safe and succesful than trying to fucking kick him an get my leg caught and owned.
There are some martial arts that are more useful than others for example hapkido or Judo but TaeKwoDo is a stupid joke.

I never understood why people care so much about what is usefull in real fight and whta isnt? I mean if I want to be safe from nonarmed attackers on the street I buy a pepper spray and if I want to have a nice hobby that keeps me in decent shape I do martial arts ^^

I fight because I enjoy the competition, going in and testing my training and heart against another. During a fight all I feel is pressure no pain, sure the next morning I'm feeling it but pain isn't always a bad thing. Tkd is like the figure skating of martial arts, it's just big flashy dancing.
We have now sunk to a depth at which restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men.
