@moos14 switch it around and its true. ninjitsu has less rules than mma believe it or not. ninjitsu is about taking your opponent down as quickly and efficiently as possible by any means possible. although its been majorly changing modern times.

@subaru84 amen LOL proby cuz when it comes to kicking techniques, taekwondo is best.

[krazygenesis96]

@moos14 taekwondo isn't alot about style and aesthetics. Yes they have alot of ariel kicks that are useless in real combat. but guess what? taekwondo is actually very practical. also a professional mma sports fighter could definitely win against a professional taekwondo sports fighter. but there are in fact people that learn taekwondo for practical uses. taekwondo on the streets is very different from sports. you just haven't seen it (proby never will)

1:01 is giving it beans

[JohnnyxCash]

always the same discussion... knock people out in the streets. Who gives a shit when you look at that martial arts were meant to be arts in a way

[yoketah]

@junyboy5 Yea, most arial kicks were actually meant to knock people off of horseback. It's really impractical to be in the air when sparring, and usually doesn't end well for the person, if said person is sparring someone who knows what they're doing.

That being said, I enjoy practicing arial kicks as much as the next guy, but I'm not going to go to a competition and do a 540 kick. it just shows that you have the balance and cordination to be a beast I guess.
