Who is the greatest fighter in the world? The fighter who knows their weakness as well as their strengths.

Aikido can be useful, boxing can be useful, wing chun, muay thai, kickboxing, greco roman wrestling. Take a peice of each, and the more you take from, the more your arsenal grows so to speak. If you limit yourself to two or three styles, then you are limited. If you open yourself to more then styles, then you allow yourself room to grow, and your martial art form to grow. Like a great fighter once said, "if you pour water into a cup, it becomes the cup...be water my friend."

@THEpillows100 or they aren't aiming to be pro mma fighters anyway. The purpose of my statement is to address the people who state that WC, karate, or w/e is garbage in a real fight and then back it up by saying that none of their practitioners are in the UFC. The stand up game of your avg UFC fighter is a joke compared to these arts. But to think that a WC guy will just school someone with good MMA training is just as ludicrous.

@THEpillows100 well its because many traditional WC ppl dont. Your group happens to do them. Im addressing all traditional arts that are frowned upon today due to MMA (WC,karate,aikido). But Im explaining why they arent in the UFC. To compete in the UFC your level of conditioning, grappling and strength needs to be on par with theirs. And while there WC ppl who adapt these things, they havent done so to the extent to compete in the UFC because their aim isnt to be pro fighters.

[Hoshiru1]

The reason why there are no WC/Aikido ppl in the UFC is because they aren't trained "fighters", they are martial artists. Fighting is a separate skill in itself that goes hand in hand with martial arts. A WC master will probably get dominated by a UFC fighter due to lack of conditioning, strength, or grappling skills, despite vastly superior striking skills. But, if these UFC fighters had half the skills that these WC/Karate masters have they would be unstoppable. Like Anderson Silva or GSP.

@whoisteahlee but if you become the water, you're only water.

What makes a great fighter is the ability to take what you can from any martial art form and make it work for you. If you can't make it work and adapt it into yourself then you don't use it. MMA is an interesting concept because when it started out, it looked like a toughman contest. Mostly big guys throwing haymakers. Now it's people from all over the world integrating different martial arts together to make an art form.

[whoisteahlee]

I think anyone who believes that any martial art is "worthless" or "useless" is a bit Naive. Take what they call MMA. Okay lets spell it out. Mixed Martial Arts. MMA utilizes different martial art forms to make great fighters. Take some of the best recognized MMA fighters. Royce Gracie introduced Jui Jitsu and dominated MMA for some time. When Muay Thai was brought into MMA the vicious leg kicks and elbows brought in a whole new element. Lyoto Machida proved Karate works.

@tonywho3 i don't know... but probably the biggest reason is that aikido is a completely worthless martial art in terms of actually defending yourself or any combat application. Could be also because they don't believe in offense as well and living in harmony and all that other good shit... but mostly because they fucking suck at combat... that's what i think...
