How the fuck can you say that Shotokan can't be used in mma? mawashi geri looks alot like a thai kick to me. gyako zuki looks alot like boxing's straight right. You only need to make a few adjustments to the shotokan style... tuck your chin hands up etc. give me a break. But I agree with the other statements.

@olamprov you take an art like karate and modify it to work in MMA, it isn't karate. They did this once with monkey kung fu. Took out all the uselessness and in the end looked like crappy Kickboxing. Why go through all that when you can just take up muay thai?

@spookyman so ipman would cry

[spookyman]

i wish he wouldve said in front of ip man :)

isn't MMA created by 'borrowing' different techniques from TMAs? so if TMAs weren't there in the first place, there won't be MMA too. i think it's 'dumb' to say that TMAs are useless cos of MMA. Also, TMAs does do a lot to improve a person and not just fighting, whereas MMA is just abt fighting (it is, after all, a sport). also, the martial art u pick also depends on ur psychic. there should be different styles to choose from based on one's physical strength and personality.

For Joe Rogan to say that he obviously hasnt sparred with a Korean TkD practitioner or a Chinese Kung fu fighter in there own country who wasnt trained in this US watered down stuff...Joe if you went to Henry's TKD and got your black belt in 1 yr then I think u should be getting ur ass kicked too...MMA borrowed from all styles and as you can see with Machida and Silva they are owning these so called MMA champs...think about it!

Joe Rogan obviously dosen't know the difference between fighting in a cage and fighting in the street or a life or death struggle, trapping does work in a real fight I know because I have done it to MMA fighters who challenge me to a fight because they think trapping arts don't work and as for Tiger Kung Fu it also works and is one of the most effective forms of kung fu with strikes to the throat and eyes - Kali 8 years Krav Maga 4 years Silat 6 years

@Urbanvillenin true, I understand what you mean, but some people like me grew up doing karate. I did BJJ and Karate since I was little, and I know that it's easier to just to muay thai, but I already have the back ground in karate see? That's why it would take less time to modify it for guys like me who already invested a lot of time in Shotokan. And you have to admit, Andrei Arlovski (he does sambo too) and Lyoto Machida use Shotokan pretty effectively in the cage.

[olamprov]

Dude you can still use Shotokan in mma. Look at Lyoto Machida. Not all of the techniques, but some.

"I've gotten really good at something that's dumb"

Right Joe. So why exactly are you showing ppl like GSP the TKD spinning back kick again? It's dumb. Therefore you are making him dumb.

@Urbanvillenin dude. know all that -____- I'm saying ever sonce UFC became popular almost everyone (mostly fans) talk about MMA like its a style.
