Your response followed a question about fight records
The only way to test fighting is to fight
Now I know that people will start with "Herbert Arndt has no skill..." but Herbert Arndt is a German National Judo Champion, European Judo Champion and won third place in the Judo World Championship starting in the 100+ kg division.
I am really curious how you guys here rate Andy's performance!!!

It's a shame that there's so much badmouthing going on. even here on a taijiquan site. I think that it really caused the high-level practitioners to turn away from expressing what they truly believe.

Hi trick. I believe that he did get some heat for a while by the local muay thai fighters. If I remember correctly he actually got into it with at least two or maybe even three of them ganged up against him and he won. I think that he told me that they were smaller guys but tough as hell . That was a long time ago. Adam is a Buddhist and very serious about it, so I don't think that he was lying. I'm glad to hear that you're having a lot of fun practicing in the park with such a wide range of practitioners, good for you. It's a shame that there's so much badmouthing going on. even here on a taijiquan site. I think that it really caused the high-level practitioners to turn away from expressing what they truly believe.
in most cases I would bet on a Muay Thai Fighter winning, but that just depends on who he is what his natural abilities are and what level he's currently at. I doubt that the guys that Adam fought were anything special. But putting that aside I also am neither excited or disappointed that Adams top guy lost in an MMA fight. Those guys are tough as hell, that's why they are there.windwalker wrote:

In Lumpini Park, Bangkok they had quiet a sizable community of CMA practitioners.
The ThaisI met were very respectful of CMA arts, understood the differences between it
and Thai boxing.... All trained hard maybe for different things.

hi Giles. The people on this site are making negative assumptions? No, not this board, it couldn't be! I think that I prefer to take the guy's word on it until he proves that I can'tGiles wrote:willie wrote: Adam is a Buddhist and very serious about it, so I don't think that he was lying.
In the same way that some people who don't know Mr Mizner personally are making (negative) assumptions about him based on his internet self-portrayals, so this too is an assumption based on his internet self-portrayals.
Just saying.
