@Chad01234 Our school is Katsudo Kenpo in Nieuwegein, although at the time we trained at the Action Kenpo Karate Studio run by Hans Hesselmann in Utrecht.
@ggglllllll i trained karate for 3 years and have found no practical use other than to strengthen my body.. i now do a scientific form of kungfu which involves alot of bodymechanics and the physics of fighting - it has helped me in more than one volatile situations in more than one way!
I would like to see them try against someone actually trying to hurt her. No offense but it's mostly show. My neighbors wife is asian, idk what nationality, and she grew up learning some kinda martial art. She said she could beat up her husband who had no fighting experience, he is just a recreational bodybuilder. He pinned her down in less than 2 minutes.
@DanteAntonelli I gotta disagree with you there. Martial arts have long been used in actual warfare, thus the term. Plus, the time required to draw and fire even a sidearm leaves one vulnerable to a myriad of CQC techniques. It's long been the rule that inside of 21 feet a holstered knife in the hands of a trained knife fighter has the advantage over a holstered side arm with an equally trained marksman. That's my two cents.
@DanteAntonelli My 7 year old cousin was almost kidnapped by a 35 year old man. She sorta knows the same martial art this woman is demonstrating, and she won. Two elbows to the temple when he picked her up, a heel kick to his groin so he would drop her, then she snap kicked him in the groin, attempted to punch him a few times in the face (but she was seven, so the punches weren't really effective), and then she simply walked away. FANCY karate moves are ineffective. But EFFECTIVE ones work.
@tsukemaru1 About the letting him get behind her: It was a demo. A real fight would last only a few seconds and wouldn't be any fun to watch. About the form: respectfully disagree. The way they moved and the speed they moved (which may have caused them to move less sharp then they normally do) were a choice we made for the demo. It turned out well IMHO
@marcel32us Speed without precision and accuracy.. Its not about how fast you strike, speed is useless without power and precision. she throws her arms fast but I see no power. She also looked confused when he got behind her, he had a perfect chance to end it right there. True that I am trained street so I know more lethal movements. Though sport still requires accuracy. As you say its just a demo.
@Jonneymarket I don't agree with you on the bending of the knees, not about the hands. I think she does a really good job. Thanks for your opinion anyways.
This is a choreographed fight, its not as hard as it looks any skilled martial artist could do something of equal caliber with only a few short hours of rehearsal. Now I'm not going to say whether I'd be able to do better then her, because I'd be wasting my time. This is my last comment, feel free to respond, but I will not be returning.
@Jonneymarket actually her stance is good for more practical fighting, her hand speed is good and her strikes are solid in some very sensative areas. i dont know much abt kenpo but this looked pretty good. besides its a demo. its meant to look cool to people. its not for competition
@marcel32us :) I practiced Shotokan as a child and loved it, the only reason i stopped was because my mom pulled me out because her ex threatened to kidnap me from class (i'd have liked to see him try! ;) lol) I felt very bitter for a long time about it,im now 25 and a mother of 3 and unfortunately due to childbearing and also liziness on my part i had 7st to lose halfway there now and i feel inspired by this video to get my ass in gear and find a local karate club thanks sensei. ;)
@MassHomicide You would only know that if you would actually try to tackle her. It's a demonstration, so of course it's not like it would really happen. What is it with you people, don't you understand what a demonstration is??
@marcel32us I was in karate for about 7 years. I thought I knew how to fight. I joined MMA and it was totally different. I'm done with MMA now and going to college. I'm about to join a CQC class and really learn how to immobilize someone. Trust me on the grappling part. When you fight someone on the ground you have to have a large amount of knowledge on positioning. Modern Karate isn't like what it used to be, especially in America. Also you titled this saying that this woman could fight.
@marcel32us This isn't a fight. It is a demonstration, like you said. I wouldn't be commenting sarcastically if this was a form of point sparring or just grappling. I'm just tired of people talking about how they're in karate and they can beat anyone up. I've had people from Judo and other martial arts walk in a class. They act like they think they know how to fight and then we make them submit. I know some female MMA fighters and boxers. They know how to fight.
look at that terrific dance. so well choreographed! at least this proves women can dance. but if you look at her moves compared to his they lag behind. his moves have way more power and snap to them while she is just struggling to keep up. im not saying im better then her or anything. just that shes probably not nearly as good as this is trying to make her look.
@marcel32us the whole point of a demonstration is to show what skills you actually have. not how well you can choreograph a "fight". the reason why i am bitching is because this doesn't look real in the slightest. it looks like he just struggling to keep up while dancing. im sure shes a good fighter im sure she knows kenpo better then most. but its a disgrace to go up there are call this kenpo. show us something real. the participants should have more respect for combat then this.
I love how everyone just wants everything to be real fights. Sorry, but from a practical standpoint various martial arts schools need to put together these demonstrations to make people who watch it go "Wow! I want to go learn that!" It's a good way to increase your business size. Not everything can be a real fight, there's no point in showing one person getting their ass kicked and getting severely hurt just to say "Join our dojo."
Nedokius2 thats exactly the kind of mentality that makes mc TKD dojos do so well, little kids see people flying around and they go wow! I wanna do that! It doesnt create any real fighters, just lets punk ass little kids have there parents pay there way to a black belt after 2 years of training and i think putting someone from your dojo against another is a better way to prove superiority than a stupid ass dance and your defenetly better off sparring them memorizing pointless dances like this
i think in feudal japan, kendo used to be demonstrative with a real wood katana fight without any armor for protection, or they could use real katanas to proove their skill is good in a real fight.
@Nedokius2: You know, you're right. Sadly, you're absolutely right. Martial arts SHOULD just be about real fighting. But the business side of things and capitalism have made it so that martial arts do indeed have to be marketed as a business.
In times past, people would go to a training hall because it could enable them to handle themselves, but I guess now the main selling point is if it "looks cool" or not. Total horse-shit.
@dev1on It's a movie of a demonstration. What's your problem? Most people who complain about this not being real, want to watch MMA type of fights, failing to understand that those ain't real either.
The only real fights are the ones in the streets, and I for sure wouldn't want to engage in those too often.
Why don't you just train what you want to train, watch what you want to watch, show what you want to show and let others do the same.
Nice demo. I think this woman can take on most men, meaning untrained, and those who have less training than her. Realistically though, she would probably be thrashed if she challenged an MMA fighter, even a female one. Just my opinion.
Hmm, I think she does now how to fight, as it katas, your movement allow for muscle reaction, sure, its a demostration, doesn't mean she can't fight. OSU!
American Kempo really honors the part "american". Great show, fast and loud, but no real deal. That's really bad for fight (and for some other activities). The only thing that made sense was 0:20 to 0:22 and words "THE END". Kempo really is an end ... to traditional martial arts.
@teyacapan I do understand (and agree with) who say that this clip doesn't proof she can fight. But I don't understand (and don't agree) how you can see in this clip that she can not fight. I happen to know she can fight, I've married to her for some time now ;-)
@marcel32us Im sorry to hear that. no just kiding youre a very lucky person than cause i did not mean she couldn´t kick my ass... or that she did not have a coulple of seconds of advantage........ just ment she could not sustain a a couple of minutes of combat......... and perhaps she only needs those couple of seconds to terminate the battle......... please except my humble apologiese. that was way back then and she probably defenitely can kick a whole lot of ass today.
@teyacapan No hard feelings, she can and she could at the time, but that's not the point. Point is that no video ever, can proof that someone can or can't fight.
I never said I'd proof in this video that she can fight, and yes, the title is only made up to get people to watch, which worked pretty good.
That was a great representation of how well she fights... not. She may be incredibly skilled, that's just not the way to show it. For what it is though, that was pretty sweet.
@dev1on No I didn't. It says it's Kenpo and it is, and I stated that women can fight, and they can. I didn't say this was real or staged, nor did I say that staged and real are the same.
Clip titles are meant for two reasons: one is to let people know what the vid is about, and second is to get people to watch it. First reason I complied to, since this video is a bout a fighting woman, you may like it or not, but that's what it's about. For the second reason: almost 200.000 people have watched.
this is awesome except if there's a gun i take tae kwon do and unless they're close to you with a gun your screwed thats why I'm getting a hand gun permit
@theneenjah@theneenjah That is like asking if playing Rugby will get you to win a Football match. Although it has advantages, you would be better of training whatever you want to be good at. If you want to win MMA-matches, go train MMA. Streetfights, depends on what you consider a streetfight. If you consider a streetfight as a random attack by one or more people at an unexpected moment out there: That is what the kenpo system is designed for, so that's what it is good for.
@marcel32us well yea, duh. i do BJJ and other martial arts like kung fu and muay thai. in mma, u need good ground, clinch, and standup to be successful. is kenpo good for the standup part? and attacker and some douchebag picking a fight with u. is it good for both?
@theneenjah Kenpo is good for self defense,and self disciplin.Kenpo is a very brutal Martial Art,roughly translated the name means the dismembering of the human body.It's style is that of Boxing,Taichi,kung Fu,Karate,and more.Unlike some forms of Martial arts,it focuses mainly around Tying to seriously wound an attacker when used for self defense.If you are defending yourself with Kenpo,then you aren't just defending yourself,but also making the person who attacked you wish he hadn't in at all.
obvious aome of you dont know the true meaning of martial art ,if you break down mma this karate thing is part of it ,and by combininng all different types of martial art you have mma,so dont hate or diss any martial arts have some respect,maybe yoour just too young to understand,they also teach you control,mind.....etc not to mention almoist every great mma fighter has a martialarts background,now im not trying to be a jerk jus speaking the facts.
@Nukkamatti most teachers dont teach you how to fight in real life, most teachers just teach BS. I mean even the people who teach UFC fighters dont teach it right. This art was ment to kill or disable your enemy in the old days not put on a show for people to watch and UFC fighters only fight for show they do not want to kill each other and are trained not to kill. Now millitary mma arts now those people know the real deal shit!
Im a girl and we spar in martial arts, and it's not light sparring xD ive been thrown around alot by bigger guys and girls but it's so we get used to the feel of it, cos its bound to happen in a real street fight.
How many people think that there is a woman in the world who could take Brock Lesnar or Fedor Emelianko in a fight? I'm not trying to be a jerk I am just curious.
Agreed, but I will go one further: How many actually stupid enough to believe that even a well trained woman can beat just your average everyday "joe dude" in wrestling?
technique is technique. if you step into a bjj school and get tapped out by a man, much, much smaller (it could easily happen) than yourself, what makes you think that a woman who's trained for ten years in the same style would tap you out as well. I go about 210 lbs and i'm on the muscular side, but i've been tapped out by a 15 yr old kid. That was a long time ago, but back then i was an average guy. why can't a woman do that to someone?
I have personally gone to a MMA gym to train and the trainers daughter, who has been practicing BJJ her whole life practically, easly submited me.Although I had at leat 75 pounds on her, I have had no training and the smallest error cause her to catch me in an armbar anyh other submission I had given to her. My weight didn't help me muc at all.
depends on the situation, if it is wrestling strictly, as in following the rules, no groin or vital strikes. the "joe" wld have the advntge, but in a street fight, it wld be vice versa.
also, i use the wrd "advntg" as in a fight, no matter in street or sprt, there are no absolutes, only factors which tilt a fight, but by no means determine the result of the fight
@Vinnymanvinny brock lesner is not a good fighter or very fast he only has a good ground game and storng punch so he wouldnt do very good but fedor... well fedor is fedor he could beat alot of martial artists no matter the style
If I may add something, I studied at 3 different schools over 6 years and once sparing began, I had beaten most opponents up to 3rd degree brn belts. Why? , simply because I had boxed for 3 years prior and found most schools didn't allow full contact. I don't care what belt you have, how good your technique is, if you have never been hit and know how to react to it, most of your teaching is useless male or female. To learn to fight you must fight, not fake it.
this is so true this is why most martial arts look good but in practicality are pants due to the fact they dont spar or when they do spar, spar so lightly there is no point. you need to spar well and alot to be able to fight hard and so you are used to getting hit
@alcondragon I agree with you on some case....i was born and raised in a ghetto area for 16 years now...i took karate and sparred with brown belts ( almost black belts ) and they didnt no wtf they were doing.....i owned like 70% of the class....simply because i taken muay thai for 1 year
karate doesnt always work in street fights..trust me
1 - if you're owning 70% of your class, it's time to leave that school.
2 - muay thai is a contact SPORT that can be used as self defense. karate is self defense that can be used in sports.
if you weren't kicked in the balls, or fishhooked, or eye gouged, or had fingers broken, than you can't say karate doesn't work. if your style uses throws, were you thrown full force on your neck? if not get with a school that does all these things and see how you fare.
i'm a life long martial artist, but if i could turn the clock back, i would've started with boxing. they usually own everyone right of the jump. That being said, things that martial artists train to do for defense, you can't do to your sparring partner. you can't kick to the balls, or break knees..you'd run out of partners. That's also most martial arts' downfall. how the hell do you know if it will work? you probably will never know unless your in a line of work where you'd test it.
Never? Lol, In 1984 I studied at the Wah Lum Kung Fu Temple in Orlando Florida under Chinese masters. If you know anything then you how ALL Martial Arts began. The one and ONLY true principle is to beat your opponent. Martial Arts were not about dance, art, or theater. It was used for KILLING and COMBAT. What it has become is for schools to make money. Dont tell me what you think you know because you haven't got a clue!
ALso I studied under Karate Master Y.K. Kim in Orlando Florida after I was thrown out of the Wha Lum Temple for actual fighting. As for your tradition, every Asian country thinks its Fighting style is best, there is NO best, its what ever works and keeps you alive. Im 49 and if I get into a fight or help to train someone, your so called tradition or principle doesnt work. Cage fighters today prove what Bruce Lee showed...Use what ever works!
There is indeed no best style. If you train an art, then your mind is trained to react to situation with a certain movement. That movement IS the best what works for you, because you trained it for years and you know how to MOVE correctly = flexibility, speed etc. depends on the style.
But there are shitty styles like A.Kempo. If you are a great fighter, you will gain freedom of movement through understanding the technique. So far I have never seen such thing in a.kempo, because it sucks.
@alcondragon I have to agree with you! this is nothing to do with fighting, its the same old stuff churned out by traditional martial arts schools and it gives the students a little ego boost! which in turn gives them a false sense of confidence in their own abilites! it's a shame because if they do get in a real situation all that shit goes out the window.
Wow! After reading all of these wonderful and humble comments, I feel youtube should sanction a "Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is" fight night and just let all of you prove your points by actually fighting. It's rather disturbing to see the arguing. Just enjoy the video for what it's worth and click a different one if you didn't like this one.
@joshuacovel if you combine technique with your fighting, as well as power, it won't matter if the opponet is male. women can kick butt just as well. they will just have a bigger target.
That is not the whole point of martial arts. You're barely scratching the surface with that comment. First of all, define what you mean by strong. Is the person really strong if he can be beaten by someone weaker? Are you talking about muscle mass? One of the biggest lessons that martial arts teaches is that muscle mass or the size of muscles don't matter, unless you can use it efficiently without sacrificing speed.
After a second look at my first comment, I realised that you may view as sexist. That is not what I meant at all. What I was talking about was that in every recent martial arts movie or demo, they ALWAYS show a girl fighting a guy and kicking his ass. I was merely stating how sick I was of it. It used to be something new and impressive a long time ago. Now it's just getting boring.
Not sure what you are trying to argue here. Everyone is pretty familiar with the word "strong". When I refer to a "strong" opponent, I mean one that is aggressive, with the body mass to back it up.
Maybe you didn't understand my post. I meant that with study and practice, the weak (or less physical imposing, whatever you want to call it) can overcome the strong (bigger, meaner, nastier).
all MMA'ers have a common disadvantage in they train in a rule based system.Are they in great shape and have fighting skill? yes I believe so. but they are governed by rules and when you train by those rules unfortunately in a real fight then stick to those rules because it has been ingrained into them. So a martial artist or anyone who traines self defense learns to break every rule to come out on top. Just my thoughts I've been studying martial arts 29 years again just my opinion
not at all just know the limitations of MMA and remember on the street there are no rules. If your really attacked break all the rules your taught in MMA. Every system has good and bad just have an open mind to know which is which.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@shadowman45810 your a dumbass, in a street fight an MMA fighter wouldnt have to fight dirty, and even if someone did use dirty tricks against them any real MMA fighter would regain there composure and do the same shit to the guy there fighting
anyone who starts out there argument by calling someone a dumbass is obviously threatend by what what they read. Thats ok your obviously a kid who has no clue. good luck to you in your training though. Any real martial artist knows I'm right.
I agree. I am a REAL Martial Artist, who made his bones in Japan!! Don't mind this oblivious and uneducated kid, who praises MMA, and who thinks that it is better than a real Martial Artist, who doesn't fight using rules. Hopefully he doesn't have to find out errors of his ways.
Shimodo you have no idea what your talking about. Are you really going to say that BJ Penn or GSP have no skill? Traditional martial artists who do no cross training lose everytime to a person who trains in all aspects of fighting. Singular boxing, karate, or wrestling is incomplete fighting. I have a challenge for you, pick any MMA school near say you want to fight someone, about your weight in a no holds barred fight. Video the results and post them here.
First off... it's "Shimoda", not Shimodo. Second off you truly are an idiot... I'll let you in on a little secret, you ignorant and uneducated little shit... true Martial Artists have always crossed trained!! It's not new. Masters for hundreds of years, have been training in numerous Martial Arts.. why do you think that there are so many Martial Arts?... it's because someone would learn more than one style, and combine them. What do you know?... cross training!! Shut your mouth.

look at that terrific dance. so well choreographed! at least this proves women can dance. but if you look at her moves compared to his they lag behind. his moves have way more power and snap to them while she is just struggling to keep up. im not saying im better then her or anything. just that shes probably not nearly as good as this is trying to make her look.

@marcel32us the whole point of a demonstration is to show what skills you actually have. not how well you can choreograph a "fight". the reason why i am bitching is because this doesn't look real in the slightest. it looks like he just struggling to keep up while dancing. im sure shes a good fighter im sure she knows kenpo better then most. but its a disgrace to go up there are call this kenpo. show us something real. the participants should have more respect for combat then this.

I love how everyone just wants everything to be real fights. Sorry, but from a practical standpoint various martial arts schools need to put together these demonstrations to make people who watch it go "Wow! I want to go learn that!" It's a good way to increase your business size. Not everything can be a real fight, there's no point in showing one person getting their ass kicked and getting severely hurt just to say "Join our dojo."

Nedokius2 thats exactly the kind of mentality that makes mc TKD dojos do so well, little kids see people flying around and they go wow! I wanna do that! It doesnt create any real fighters, just lets punk ass little kids have there parents pay there way to a black belt after 2 years of training and i think putting someone from your dojo against another is a better way to prove superiority than a stupid ass dance and your defenetly better off sparring them memorizing pointless dances like this

@Nedokius2: You know, you're right. Sadly, you're absolutely right. Martial arts SHOULD just be about real fighting. But the business side of things and capitalism have made it so that martial arts do indeed have to be marketed as a business.
In times past, people would go to a training hall because it could enable them to handle themselves, but I guess now the main selling point is if it "looks cool" or not. Total horse-shit.

@dev1on It's a movie of a demonstration. What's your problem? Most people who complain about this not being real, want to watch MMA type of fights, failing to understand that those ain't real either.
The only real fights are the ones in the streets, and I for sure wouldn't want to engage in those too often.
Why don't you just train what you want to train, watch what you want to watch, show what you want to show and let others do the same.

American Kempo really honors the part "american". Great show, fast and loud, but no real deal. That's really bad for fight (and for some other activities). The only thing that made sense was 0:20 to 0:22 and words "THE END". Kempo really is an end ... to traditional martial arts.

@teyacapan No hard feelings, she can and she could at the time, but that's not the point. Point is that no video ever, can proof that someone can or can't fight.

Clip titles are meant for two reasons: one is to let people know what the vid is about, and second is to get people to watch it.

@theneenjah @theneenjah That is like asking if playing Rugby will get you to win a Football match. Although it has advantages, you would be better of training whatever you want to be good at. If you want to win MMA-matches, go train MMA. Streetfights, depends on what you consider a streetfight. If you consider a streetfight as a random attack by one or more people at an unexpected moment out there: That is what the kenpo system is designed for, so that's what it is good for.

@marcel32us well yea, duh. i do BJJ and other martial arts like kung fu and muay thai. in mma, u need good ground, clinch, and standup to be successful. is kenpo good for the standup part? and attacker and some douchebag picking a fight with u. is it good for both?

@theneenjah Kenpo is good for self defense,and self disciplin.Kenpo is a very brutal Martial Art,roughly translated the name means the dismembering of the human body.It's style is that of Boxing,Taichi,kung Fu,Karate,and more.Unlike some forms of Martial arts,it focuses mainly around Tying to seriously wound an attacker when used for self defense.If you are defending yourself with Kenpo,then you aren't just defending yourself,but also making the person who attacked you wish he hadn't in at all.

technique is technique. if you step into a bjj school and get tapped out by a man, much, much smaller (it could easily happen) than yourself, what makes you think that a woman who's trained for ten years in the same style would tap you out as well. I go about 210 lbs and i'm on the muscular side, but i've been tapped out by a 15 yr old kid. That was a long time ago, but back then i was an average guy. why can't a woman do that to someone?

I have personally gone to a MMA gym to train and the trainers daughter, who has been practicing BJJ her whole life practically, easly submited me.Although I had at leat 75 pounds on her, I have had no training and the smallest error cause her to catch me in an armbar anyh other submission I had given to her. My weight didn't help me muc at all.
Ramanizzler 2 years ago
depends on the situation, if it is wrestling strictly, as in following the rules, no groin or vital strikes. the "joe" wld have the advntge, but in a street fight, it wld be vice versa.
also, i use the wrd "advntg" as in a fight, no matter in street or sprt, there are no absolutes, only factors which tilt a fight, but by no means determine the result of the fight

39banijski 1 year ago
If I may add something, I studied at 3 different schools over 6 years and once sparing began, I had beaten most opponents up to 3rd degree brn belts. Why? , simply because I had boxed for 3 years prior and found most schools didn't allow full contact. I don't care what belt you have, how good your technique is, if you have never been hit and know how to react to it, most of your teaching is useless male or female. To learn to fight you must fight, not fake it.
alcondragon 2 years ago 17
this is so true this is why most martial arts look good but in practicality are pants due to the fact they dont spar or when they do spar, spar so lightly there is no point. you need to spar well and alot to be able to fight hard and so you are used to getting hit
mano12134 2 years ago
@alcondragon I agree with you on some case....i was born and raised in a ghetto area for 16 years now...i took karate and sparred with brown belts ( almost black belts ) and they didnt no wtf they were doing.....i owned like 70% of the class....simply because i taken muay thai for 1 year
karate doesnt always work in street fights..trust me
DeezVideoGames 2 years ago
two things you should think about.
1 - if you're owning 70% of your class, it's time to leave that school.
2 - muay thai is a contact SPORT that can be used as self defense. karate is self defense that can be used in sports.
if you weren't kicked in the balls, or fishhooked, or eye gouged, or had fingers broken, than you can't say karate doesn't work. if your style uses throws, were you thrown full force on your neck? if not get with a school that does all these things and see how you fare.
godanp 2 years ago
I taken muay thai for a very long time before i joined karate.
DeezVideoGames 2 years ago
i'm a life long martial artist, but if i could turn the clock back, i would've started with boxing. they usually own everyone right of the jump. That being said, things that martial artists train to do for defense, you can't do to your sparring partner. you can't kick to the balls, or break knees..you'd run out of partners. That's also most martial arts' downfall. how the hell do you know if it will work? you probably will never know unless your in a line of work where you'd test it.

Obiwan198 1 year ago
Never? Lol, In 1984 I studied at the Wah Lum Kung Fu Temple in Orlando Florida under Chinese masters. If you know anything then you how ALL Martial Arts began. The one and ONLY true principle is to beat your opponent. Martial Arts were not about dance, art, or theater. It was used for KILLING and COMBAT. What it has become is for schools to make money. Dont tell me what you think you know because you haven't got a clue!
alcondragon 1 year ago
ALso I studied under Karate Master Y.K. Kim in Orlando Florida after I was thrown out of the Wha Lum Temple for actual fighting. As for your tradition, every Asian country thinks its Fighting style is best, there is NO best, its what ever works and keeps you alive. Im 49 and if I get into a fight or help to train someone, your so called tradition or principle doesnt work. Cage fighters today prove what Bruce Lee showed...Use what ever works!
alcondragon 1 year ago
There is indeed no best style. If you train an art, then your mind is trained to react to situation with a certain movement. That movement IS the best what works for you, because you trained it for years and you know how to MOVE correctly = flexibility, speed etc. depends on the style.
But there are shitty styles like A.Kempo. If you are a great fighter, you will gain freedom of movement through understanding the technique. So far I have never seen such thing in a.kempo, because it sucks.
Obiwan198 1 year ago
@alcondragon I have to agree with you! this is nothing to do with fighting, its the same old stuff churned out by traditional martial arts schools and it gives the students a little ego boost! which in turn gives them a false sense of confidence in their own abilites! it's a shame because if they do get in a real situation all that shit goes out the window.

Yes, it is a staple in the martial arts that the weak can defeat the strong. This is the whole point of martial arts.
Destruktor6666 2 years ago
That is not the whole point of martial arts. You're barely scratching the surface with that comment. First of all, define what you mean by strong. Is the person really strong if he can be beaten by someone weaker? Are you talking about muscle mass? One of the biggest lessons that martial arts teaches is that muscle mass or the size of muscles don't matter, unless you can use it efficiently without sacrificing speed.
Blazinfistsoffury 2 years ago
After a second look at my first comment, I realised that you may view as sexist. That is not what I meant at all. What I was talking about was that in every recent martial arts movie or demo, they ALWAYS show a girl fighting a guy and kicking his ass. I was merely stating how sick I was of it. It used to be something new and impressive a long time ago. Now it's just getting boring.
Blazinfistsoffury 2 years ago
Not sure what you are trying to argue here. Everyone is pretty familiar with the word "strong". When I refer to a "strong" opponent, I mean one that is aggressive, with the body mass to back it up.
Maybe you didn't understand my post. I meant that with study and practice, the weak (or less physical imposing, whatever you want to call it) can overcome the strong (bigger, meaner, nastier).

all MMA'ers have a common disadvantage in they train in a rule based system.Are they in great shape and have fighting skill? yes I believe so. but they are governed by rules and when you train by those rules unfortunately in a real fight then stick to those rules because it has been ingrained into them. So a martial artist or anyone who traines self defense learns to break every rule to come out on top. Just my thoughts I've been studying martial arts 29 years again just my opinion
