Anyone in Martial Arts??? If you're not, you should be.

[reduen]

My son took second in Arkansas first ever AAA sanctioned wrestling tournament last month...! (140 lb) I know he should have won but he worked real hard this season and finished like (25-4). Did the best he could... (I am very proud!!)

Just wanted to take the time to brag a little but seriously, you guys are too violent man.... (Wonder why Landon lost the election..?)

UFC is a joke! So is most MMA. BJJ is trendy and a lot of it is all hype or meant to be effective in a competition with rules and soft mats. Martial arts is an entirely different thing than self defense. I've trained in martial arts and I've since trained in self defense. I'd suggest everyone interested in self defense to look into www.veearnisjitsu.com and www.defenseinstitute.com Professor David James shit is real life saving "martial arts". It will teach you knife defense as well as gun defense. MMA doesn't even touch on weapons defense. Here's an example of Professor David Jame's concepts:

I'd advise you to check out www.bullshido.com. The BJJ doesn't work on the street argument doesn't fly. RBSD is actually surprisingly ineffective in a street situation because the sparring isn't full contact. On the occasions when you do spar full contact in RBSD, you can see the gaping holes if you look for them quite easy.

Now contrast that with this? LMAO

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsi9OloTkuA&feature=related Notice how these guys are the same size? YOu think that shit is going to work with someone who outweighs you by 50 lbs? LMAO!

First off, anyone trying to choke with two hands in that way is a tard. No MMA fighter would EVER choke like that. Also, check this video out, I'd say this guy weighed a bit more that 50 pounds over the BJJ guy but he still got his shoulder broken anyways.

Congrats on your son's success! And no one knew I was trained while I ran for office.

I learned everything that guy was saying in that video in Kempo.

BJJ is a sport. Only practical in a ring with gloves and one challenger.

BJJ traces its orgin back to ancient Greek Pankration and then found its way to feudal Japan, Samurai used it on the battlefield when caught weaponless and was later modifed for street fighting in Brazil. If it didn't work in those situations it would've died out. It's the most practical martial art, because it still emphasis the "martial" in the art.

I can see it being practical as long as something wasn't dragged out. Because in real situations you sometimes have to deal with more than one person. And not only that. But alot of which i've learned in BJJ I would never do because it normally involves too many sensitive spots for me that become exposed.

Just get yourself a gun. It's the lazy man's option but just as effective.

5 arts in 1, Hawaiian origin, so it is an "American" martial art

Drawing a gun should mean you should be prepared to kill somebody. I don't think all situations require lethal force; but hey that's just me. Besides that there are plenty of places you can't carry a gun, or wouldn't want to carry a gun.

...and guns can run out of ammo.

all jokes aside, i wish we never had invented gunpowder...check that, i meant the china
