the rum soaked fist: internal martial arts forum

The other guy...

to avoid confussion i think there are only 2 people who should talk about this, moashan and the goat. if they want to fight cool if not cool.

i wondered when this would make it over here.

no biggie bruce. they're building some hype.

They're both adults and I doubt there's anything we could say that would make this better or worse.

But I'm curious why anyone would feel the need to challenge an MMA fighter, if tMMA fighters think they're the best who really cares?

The thing I find interesting about this is that if you really wanted to do hardcore TMA as it was done back in the day then you'd be pulling out the big weapons because that's ultimately what most TMAs were based on and how they were usually used on the battlefield.

bill, you have an uncanny knack for finding pictures on the interwebs.

maoshan wins by the twisting death technique.

This might be unrelated but one thing I will say, I think sport fighters are a lot better about losing than most TMA guys.

I was just watching Rampage tap out to one of his trainees on Ultimate Fighter and he admitted he got his ass kicked somehow I can't see TMA guys doing that.

Perhaps we have the ego problem...

Maybe due to the actual frequency of fights compared between most TMA guys and MMA fighters.

If you fight all the time, you lose, ok. If you do it once a year, then of course you will be less sporting about a loss.

I agree, if you fight once a year that you're probably going to take everything very seriously.

But perhaps it's also because in TMA we tend to treat out teachers like gods where as MMA players see their teachers as trainers.

I think we can learn something from that.

Get something understood. I was the one challenged. And where do you get that I challenged the whole MMA community when, not only is it written on top of the clip, but I also say Nick Thompson. What are you trying to do here?
You down with Thompsons cheerleaders further trying to drag my name through the mud?

What's up?

It's hard to tell how good this guy is, or isn't. His opponent was not very skilled and made some serious mistakes. It was an easy win because of that.

Maoshan,
where are you from?

BX, New York

No, no one's trying to drag your name through the mud.

From what I heard it sounded like a challenge to all MMA fighters, I was wrong my bad.

The truth is I'm not really interested talking about you or Nick on here, the title of the thread it challenge match and we're talking those in general.

I used your clips because you guys are both posting this stuff on the internet so I figured it was fair game.
