[amr80fouad]

it would be better if scott adkins is on that show instead of jason chambers 

[TheKasikara]

Taekwondo is good but i train jujitsu (japanese martial arts mixed of judo aikido karate takwondo) its like MMA so this stuff is joke for that we are doing.

[XxnEr0xXxMaNexX]

@TheKasikara lol ? no it's not jujitsu is basically judo and aikido but with some random kicks put in it doesn't have any taekwondo in it

[TheObelix876]

@TheKasikara i practise a form of Jiu jitsu aswell a Japanese variant not the Brazilian one and althought i dont practise TKD anymore it is definatly effective even in MMA especially if you have a real TKD teacher that teaches you to kick with your shin and punch to the head i once underestimated TKD in a fight untill he kicked me to the head without me even seeing the kick, i ended up winning but with a new found respect for TKD.

[Taekwondo98Sweden]

@TheKasikara pahahaahaha :D idiot...

[jrut003]

@TheKasikara

jujitsu preceded judo and aikido. aikido is part jujitsu/bushido (sword) taekwondo and jujitsu are seperate forms of arts i.e japan - korea

[veleminamble]

@TheKasikara TKD is no joke lol..people practice if one of these guys landed a kick on an opponent without gear theyd be out. even with gear theres many knock outs

[gobind888]

@TheKasikara LOL. idiot!! xD!

[EdDy4RheelZ]

@ichibang15549 What's bad about learning a deadly striking art of Muay Thai? I'm Korean-American myself and had experience in TaeKwonDo when I was a child but as I grew up, closest art that resembles real street fight in terms of striking is Muay Thai. I'm currently training in Muay Thai and I love Thai people. Many countries have adopted Muay Thai for their deadly effectiveness. Japan adopted Muay Thai and created kickboxing. So I don't know what's the big deal about it.

[lilianaelba]

timbeeeer.......

[555hansy]

in 36.07 , it says taekwondo fight rules but in 36.15 , it says karate fight rules . WTF .

[opmega]

lose some weight? its all muscle! Bill duff

[HajimeNoJMo]

Cung Le and Bas Rutten have backgrounds and black beltsin TKD and so does Anderson Silva. Hell, so does Jason Frank of all people I presume. When Cung Le entered his first San shou competition, he had no formal training in it. All he knew was his wrestling and TKD and still won and had a successful career at it.

[Tungdor]

it is no MA styles who make a person tough and undefeated, but the person who make his MA styles great.

[Dinoenthusiastguy]

@Tungdor Well... I'm not so sure. If you have two similar styles, like Muay Thai and Pradal Serey, then yes. But many martial arts are very different, for instance, Taekwondo and Karate, or Kung Fu and Judo. In that case, it depends on skill, the situation, who attacks first, etc. And in some cases I don't think one MA could ever beat another; it doesn't matter how good a Judo guy is, he'd have no defense against Muay Thai strikes.

[Tungdor]

@Dinoenthusiastguy that's why i said before, it depends on the person it self. I studied silat, benjang (sundanese wrestling) and tarung derajat (indonesian kickboxing), but I do not consider those 3 styles as the most powerful. like you said before, it depends on the skill, timing, tactics, experience, etc.

[Tungdor]

@Dinoenthusiastguy what about wrestling or BJJ practitioners? they often beat a lot of standing fighters practitioners. So, whether the individual is great or his MA style? I mean, the human mind is always evolving. Always looking for a ways to survive. As you mentioned before, a judoka is not necessarily win against muay thai practitioner. That is why, the judoka must find a way to cover up his weaknesses, ie learn muay thai as well or other standing martial arts.

[chrisgeorgegray]

@Tungdor BJJ wont really work the best in a street situation though because you can't take a fight to the floor using techniques in BJJ because if you go down the guys friends can pound on you, or if you go to the floor your gonna screw you're back over, so stand up martial arts tend to be the best for self defense because they learn self defense techniques in their class.

[reallyletsdoit]

@chrisgeorgegray True but most fights do go to the ground....guys clinch up and grapple each other or tackle eachother to the ground most of the time so you need to have a ground game. When it goes to the ground BJJ wins. Striking is important too but, in example Royce Gracie took some great strikers to ground from numerous martial arts and chocked them out like it was nothing....

[reallyletsdoit]

@chrisgeorgegray if its 2 or more against one then it isnt effective, youre right on that...unless you can put him in an arm bar and snap it super faste or something but thats not practical

[bigfatbagsausage]

@reallyletsdoit actually inmy school we do two onto one sparring and we are efficient in it.

[EdDy4RheelZ]

@Dinoenthusiastguy Go tell this to Gracie family and rest of Brazilian JiuJitsu practitioners that Judo have no defense against Muay Thai and see what happens. In matter of fact, you can try joining UFC, Pride, Strikeforce, Dream, and prove them your point.

But I do agree that there are cases where one style could never beat another. For example, Wing Chun vs Sanshou(Sanda). I'm putting my money on Sanshou all day given that they are equally experienced in their own arts.

[Dinoenthusiastguy]

@EdDy4RheelZ BJJ is mostly about grappling; do they teach strike defense? If so, I stand corrected. But yes, I believe martial arts are sort of a rock-paper-scissors thing: style A can beat style B, style B can beat style C, and style C can beat A. Although I would have to disagree on Wing Chun vs. Sanda.

[EdDy4RheelZ]

@Dinoenthusiastguy In UFC, and other MMA fights, grapplers have the edge over strikers because once they're on the ground, strikers have no clue on how to respond to the grappling and ground game. For strikers to win against grapplers, they have to knock them out flat cold. But it is nearly impossible to knock someone out in few strikes if they're equally experienced. But of course, striking is just as important because you want to avoid getting to the ground.

[EdDy4RheelZ]

@Dinoenthusiastguy What I did see in the past are Muay Thai or variants of kickboxers being cocky and join MMA, and then get owned by professional wrestling-type fighters because they got no ground game whatsoever(Fedor, Royce Gracie, etc proved this). On vice versa, I've also seen wrestling-type fighters feeling cocky and fight against a boxer and get knocked the fuck down within 10 seconds.(Ray Mercer vs Tim Sylvia)

But in 1v1 fair match, such as ring or octagon, grapplers have the edge.

[EdDy4RheelZ]

@Dinoenthusiastguy Wing Chun is a joke. Have you ever seen anyone practicing or even use it as a supplement to join mma or k-1 matches? No. Why? Bcz it's crap. Sanda fighters have synthesized useful elements, techniques from Chinese martial arts while tossing out many useless forms from their ancestors. Wing Chun on the other hand believe that their system is complete and way of life, and only rely on centerline and middle theory, and don't condition their body while having limited moves.

[EdDy4RheelZ]

@Dinoenthusiastguy From my fighting experience and also from the statistics, best MMA styles to obtain are kickboxing variants such as Muay Thai, Kickboxing, Kyokushin Karate, Pradal Serey, Sanda, etc, and wrestling variants(brazilian jiujitsu, judo, greco-wrestling, etc. I currently train in Muay Thai but once I have trained enough to win any type of local competitions in California, I plan to train in BJJ to learn and improve my ground game, which is currently at very minimal level.

[TheObelix876]

@EdDy4RheelZ i'd advice a kickboxing variant plus traditional boxing style, aswell as a standing throw based grappling art and a ground focused martial art. for instance kickboxing/sanda or muay thai plus boxing for striking and some form of wrestling, sambo, judo plus BJJ or sambo / judo thats also newaza orientated) for the most well rounded skill set, combined with strict dieting, muscle training and physical conditioning ,in my opinion that is the most well rounded skill set

[EdDy4RheelZ]

@TheObelix876 As I said before, in the world of fighting, there are two methods of fighting. They are stand-up and ground game. Best stand-up fighting styles are those that resemble kickboxing type, such as muay thai, kickboxing, savate, sanshou, boxing, kyokushin karate, etc. For ground fighting, best styles are those that resemble wrestling, such as judo, sambo, bjj(western judo), greco-roman wrestling, etc.

[PnutButter1986]

@Tungdor of course, i agree completely

[artfan101]

TKD is defiantly not without merit, however it is not a style that I choose to pursue. I do have a lot of respect for those people that have honed their skills. It seems to me that it has a better application as an upright sport/fighting style. I am glad though that it is not used much in MMA. I feel like MMA kind of taints everything it touches.

[Naddig74]

It's unfortunate that so much TKD you see in the west is a 'game for kids.' No martial art is worthless...but many martial artists are. This show, and some other vids I've seen on 'tube shows that TKD is very effective and dangerous...within it's limitations.

[Dingomanzero13]

TKD is no joke. Any mma fighter should have respect for the korean martial arts. Those kicks are dangerous and their range is trickier to break thru than it looks. chances are you will have a disabled limb if they connect, so you cannot just take a shot to close the distance.
