@ChamorruWarrior Right now in the sport of MMA, you have very few true MMA fighters, many guys have already been successful in one particular martial art, and moved into MMA because there is more money in it, at least thats a likely reason. Its interesting to see guys like Jon Jones and Ben Henderson who are weak in very few areas, and have essentially a complete game.
MMA does stand for Mixed martial arts, but mixing martial arts together and doing MMA is not the same. Although technically MMA means "mixed martial arts" in this country and culture"MMA" does not refer to someone mixing any martial art together that they want. It more commonly refers to the combat sport in which two trained fighters duel in either a cage or a ring under specific rules.I see what you mean, but that's not what "MMA" is in this culture.
Yes, I do carry a weapon with me everywhere, it's conected to my keys. This is the way self defense works. Talk out of it. If you can't, run. If you can't, use a weapon. If you can't use a weapon, use martial arts. Btw I have done MMA for a year and a half, mostly BJJ/MuayThai. Before that I did Shaolin Kempo. In my opinion doing both I say Shaolin Kempo is WAY better for real life. But in all fairness I got VERY lucky with the Shaolin Kempo school I found, it's a GOOD school which is rare in US
@ChamorruWarrior MMA stands for Mixed Martial Arts. This simply means a person that practices different martial arts. I think you are getting MMA mixed up with Unified Rules for MMA (the Sport).... Obviously one is a sport, and the other is simply just training in various combat arts. And guess what the definition of Martial Art is? It loosely translates to Way of War, and as we know War does not exclude weapons.
Human Violence IS different, yes. However, the majority of fights do not have weapons. What they do have is usually more than one person onto another. So if you are more confident using a knuckle duster than you are kicking/punching/eye gouging, etc, then use it.
Who the fuck is Joe Rogan?

@ChamorruWarrior I'd re-phrase that as you have very few true mixed martial artists.

@ChamorruWarrior So basicly you ALWAYS,carry some form of weapon?
No matter where you go? Christmas dinner,Easter family reunion,New Years party,where ever you go you always carry a weapon?
Im not judging it just seems weird.
Have you ever tought about what would happen if for some reason your weapon failed and you know no martial arts?
All i know is if someone tried pepper spraying me or knifing me and failed,i would rip their arms out of their sockets out of anger.

Tae Kwon Do is awesome! But, it's incomplete! Bruce Lee said it 50 years ago, and MMA is proving it.
