I'm laughing too hard to ban right now.
I can understand some of what snowleopard is saying, but it's just a bit overboard....

no art in mixed martial arts? have you ever seen any of Fedor's fights? the man is a KO artisan.

hahahaha this is too funny.

That's what I thought.

I only quoted you to add on to your point.

Just saying that originally it is: MMA - Mixed-rulesMA and the more successful fighters know this. Kicks, strikes, locking, and throwing are all allowed.

Now people think it means: MMA - Multiple-stylesMA and the skill levels aren't the same.


Do 1 thing well then find and fix the chinks in the armor.

Seriously, it will be a good experience for you.

Aw, c'mon, Juan. Controversial topics and personal pissing contests are the driving force of most martial art forum boards, dontcha know? :-\

Get with the program, man! ;)

Didn't you read my response?
You are still sticking to your assumption despite the dictionary slamming it into the ground like a fat guy on a crackwhore.

You are indeed a silly person.

BAN HIM! lol

MMA is an art while saying many of its exponents have backgrounds in karate, judo, wrestling, etc.
the difference is that the karate fellow (add you own art) realizes that kicking and/or punching cannot, by itself, win an encounter so he cross traines to reach the MMA potential combination(s) of grappling, armsbars, wrestling, and other strategies to reach his goal. The wrestler realizes he is weak in punching and kicking so he trains those with his own strongpoints to maximize his skill level.

The Gracies did alot to wake up those guys who were legends in their own mind and thus, MMA was born, based on the newaza of forgotton training.
