[Animerulz4ever]

my uncle is mike welch so hahahha this is my friends youtube account though, mine is bhutafreek or look @ this account 2nd subscriber

oh jeez chill out with this all they do is flip shit and the they can't fight shit.

Every martial artist has a traditional background regardless. Some prefer to keep there tournament for just that tradition Hence the tradition forms divisions. Whilst other prefere to diviate to branded XMA forms divisions( Creative, Extreme and Musical). The sport side of martial arts has evolved but the Art of it will always be the same.

Both these guys would kill you in a fight. They have been training to FIGHT for probably over at least 8 years. They just do alot of this show stuff for fun and entertainment, and it looks cool. But just because they do all of these forms shows doesn't mean they don't know how to fight. That's just childish to think that. And when they were fighting in this demo (yes it was silly), that's not actually how they train to fight. All of that was put together just to look cool.

[Brickers]

Dude I hope thats not directed at me? since My comment dosn't say anything about there ability to fight.

So yeah man I'm legit when I make comments. I know the background of martial arts and martial arts in general.

[FLGator26]

Read your first sentence, that's what got me. Sorry if I set off on you, I'm just so used to so many people looking at these videos and saying that guys that do these demos can't fight.

[Brickers]

You definatly must of totally not followed the scentence mang.

It says to chill out with all the They can't fight and all they do is flip stuff. It's so over rated. It's common sense to assume one would know how to fight and do traditional patterns in order to recieve a black belt. The whole comment was directed at the stupidness of comments like all they do is flip yada yada.

[FLGator26]

Oh shit I apologize bro, yeah I misunderstood what you were saying. Sorry about that

[Brickers]

Yeah no problem mang. haha I get that alot when I type things related to martial arts. When ever it involves the most extreme end of things. I always laugh and say check my vids haha. But today I've had an off day so I kinda sizzled on yah.

Feel free to check out my vids. I have a pretty good forms sampler on there. I'm working on part two here in the next few weeks.

[Poolo101]

@Brickers I happen to know Mike Welch (in fact I was trained by him) and I can guarantee he not kick your butt, but do flips and "yada yada" while doing it.

[Brickers]

@Poolo101- Have you read the initial comment? Clearly you have not. THe first statement I made was tell people to chill the heck out. About this alls they do is flips and can't fight stuff.

I know Mike can hold his own in a fight and he does the more glamouros stuff as well.

Get all your facts before you try to convict.

[lilt1599]

I agree with you FLGator26 lol

[Kamaqueen14]

This was hot

[Johnf85]

anyone who wants to say these kids cant fight would be in for a suprise. raymond daniels jason bourelly ross levine shit they are all very good full contact fighters with traditional background. its the instructors responsibility to make sure that they are learning good foundamentals.

[IMAsidekicker]

JohnF85 seems like a very educated martial artist.,

hwaorang seems a little ignorant. Travel a little, train a little, and you will learn a lot.

milihpen...what is it that you do?

[lucasPBrules]

i was there

[milihpen]

Buried. Was there ever a day when Karate actually meant something, and wasn't just skinny kids doing flips in the air and claiming that they're not dancers, but good fighters? Probably not

[Johnf85]

are you jealous? these kids have a very traditional back ground in the ma. but that shit is boring to watch. sorry.

[hwoarang7676]

yeah it's fun to watch and all that jazz, but you couldn't use things like those in a real fight, it's pure show. i'm in Tae kwon do right now, and i've seen kids get knocked out of the air using those techniques in sparring. i've even knocked some of them out of the air, it's 49% foolishness and 51% skill.

[Johnf85]

no one is claiming you can use it in a fight. we dont train in martial arts just for that purpose. besides you cant use a lot of traditional nonsense in a real street fight either. image using a beautiful horse stance in the street, one that traditional people would score 10 points on the circuit. traditional martial arts is a sport just like xma. you cant expect people not to dable in extreme forms its pushing the body to limits we never thought possible. theres nothing wrong with it.

[TRADITIONALXTREME]

man ur lying through ur teeth

ik u havent sparred neone in tae kwon who threw b twists and aerials on you

[hwoarang7676]

Um, no i'm not lying. A couple people have since that comment, but I always catch them by ducking and weaving. I have no reason to lie about it.

[TRADITIONALXTREME]

you are talkin so much bullshit man unless they were just playin around

you never see ppl do the shit during sparring minus kim do who landed that stuff alot

why dont you re4cord one of ur fights and upload it dude

[lilt1599]

Uh Marc Canonizado did it and got a head shot with a btwist one time!

[deltajuliet]
