@daz45 In any case that explosive energy ends in about 3 seconds or less. In TT you have explosive energy as well lasting for around the same time, but it's a lot more consistent. Just because you put a lot of power into a shot doesn't mean the point is over. You have to explode for the shot and then explode to recover the next shot.

In MMA you don't have that luxury of exploding every 30 seconds or so. So I argue that TT is just as athletic as MMA strength aside.

@daz45 Are you kidding me? Explosive power is pretty equal in both sports.

For lack of arguing here I just want to analogize to end this. I'm not dissing mma I've studied it for over 15 years so I'm really into it. TT is another passion of mine. A take down or submissive move requires loads of energy.to be disbursed in or around 3 seconds or less. Each move requires that you move in a specific direction until the move is completed or defended.

@LookB3hindU So what was he lifting then? In table tennis it requires less explosive power simple, in mma you need to be able to wrestle, look at wrestlers and then look at table tennis players, end of argument, if you honestly believe they are as athletic as an olympic wrestler you are more deluded than i originally thought.

@KINGofALLkings910 hahaha you should play against a real table tennis pro to see how much differences there are between an amture and a pro. It takes at least 20 years to become a table tennis expert if you are talented, some people trained themselves decades but getting nowhere. There are no easy sport, table tennis is as hard as other sports. As a boxer,

@LookB3hindU every 40 year old will lose to an equal 25 year old. In high levels moving around the table is the most important
