Machida's foot sweeps

[Dmitri]

Imagine how much of a better fighter he would be if he practiced Muay Thai instead of Karate.

I wouldn't be too sure about that.

You're too nice with Juan, Dmitri.

[JuanM]

you guys are too late. I don't feel like playing anymore.

[Ian]

Awww man, I didn't get a single bite. You guys aren't as easy as I thought.

I loleded.

[ashe]

hey that's pretty cool! i use a lot of that myself. sticky legs.

now if only we could see some of those harder mats!

[CaliG]

Those foot sweeps are awesome.

Yeah but he'd be a completely different fighter and people would know his game.

I think guys like Machida, Fedor and Sakuraba for that matter have an edge because they've mastered styles that most MMA plays haven't dealt with in comparison to bjj/muay thai/wrestling.

That little bit of surprise is enough to cost someone the match.

Anyway, that's why I like MMA because you can bring any art to into it and use it.

I'm looking forward to seeing a well rounded SC guy get up in there.

I've been hugging this guys nuts ever since I first saw him fight a few years ago. War Machida, and MORE machida. Please.

Dammit, I didn't see that... You bastard.

Now you got two bites...

Good troll!

OK, just got around to watching this. Survey says: awesome.

Just out of curiosity, how many Japanese martial artists still practice their foot sweeps on a wooden post in the ground?

I am not japanese and I've only just begun Judo 2 weeks ago, but I still practice sweeps on a soft bark yet dense tree if that counts.

[bigphatwong]

Sure, I practice them on some narrow tree trunks at the lake I go to.

That reminds me, if I ever move in on the ground floor again I'd like to see about putting up another makiwara.

Yo. In addition to the Baji bumps I've grown ever so fond of...
