@PortMourant2008 itf tkd and karate is very similar in that neither trains realistically and waste the majority of their time on katas/patterns

[scarred10]

@PortMourant2008 if you have to be on bottom ,guard is the place to be,the goal may to stand back up and guard allows you to do that,it will always be part of real fights.Some do use thai clinch effectively,its the best way to deliver knee strikes,ive used greco alot but mostly to hold and hit or takedown.

[PortMourant2008]

@scarred10 You are saying several things..not sure which one to hone in one. I do train MMA. While we use the BJJ gaurd on the mat...being there and using those tatics when strikes are invovles is risky. We never use Muay Thai clinching...we've replaced it with the Greco-Roman clinch. Same arguments goes for you..if you don't train karate your opinion is baseless.

[PortMourant2008]

@scarred10 It tells me you should stick to knocking tkd and leave karate to the critics who actually know something about the art.

@PortMourant2008 i was on the irish national team several times and won a lot of domestic tournaments in every part of itf tkd,it definitely was no macdojo.Ive used and seen lot of throws from the clinch in mma both amature and pro standard,same for thai clinch(tends to be fleeting though).The guard is used in almost every match ive taken part in or seen also,i dont know what mma your practising or watching.If you dont train ,you cant even talk,your opinion is baseless.

@PortMourant2008 i know exactly what kyukushin is and how it develeped,when they spar its kickboxing,not karate,look at kyokushin lads in k1,they are kickboxing,not doing karate.A more effective form of karate is kudo which is really mma,not karate at all.The more realistic types of karate are nothing like karate at all,that should tell you something.

[PortMourant2008]

@scarred10 With regard to sport karate its the same as Judo. In Judo there are techniques which are just not used in competition. The ones that are used in competition are few and simple. Karate is much more than using a technique which looks karatelike...it's the distance, timing and rythm and mental awareness of space and body position that makes the techniques work. By the way did you know the GSP's style of karate resembles Muay Thai? Look it the history of the art.

[PortMourant2008]

@scarred10 Oh, I guess you are not good at TKD then. I don't have a high opinion of tkd myself..but not all school are Mac dojos. It has become fashionable to take a stab at the more traditional arts. With regards to BJJ and wrestling a massive amount of it can be seen with the exception of the very advanced techniques, upper body throws, BJJ guard. The Muay Thai clinch is also not used. to be cont'd

@PortMourant2008 i trained itf tkd for 17 yrs,Ive only fought amateur mma and thai since then,i used virtually no tkd in either but on my background info it states 3rd dan tkd.Same for gsp,he doesnt use it.
