on certain occassions i can agree with you. MMA is mostly juijitsu and basic muay thai. Check out a vid “jujitsu vs kung fu”. The K fu fighter claimed to be undefeated for many years but he got raped by the jujitsu fighter.
I don’t care if you …
I don’t care if you could woop my ass. I have a miere orange belt in Chito Ryu Karate and a white belt in BJJ. So you probably could. You ask what’s the use of training serious mma if it doesent prepare you for any situation? They train serious MMA because its a sport that makes them millionares. I agree that a traditonal marital artist would murder these guys. But its a sport. A SPORT!A S-P-O-R-T! My guess is that theyl take their chances of not being attacked by a sword and keep training sport
Really? Hmmmm, …
Really? Hmmmm, interesting. I would like to know what you mean by “real martial artists”? You mean like a Kung-Fu practicioner or a Kiai Master? Well, thanks to modern technology. You can search for Kung-Fu vs MMA and Kiai Master vs MMA and see how “real” their martial art is. Come on man, you are talking a lot of crap, if you think that someone who trains every day, hitting wooden planks and using his “Chi”, has an advantage over a guy who trains everyday, giving and receiving punches and kick
You’re entitled to …
You’re entitled to you opinion, but I would assume you have no first-hand experience with MMA to comment in a way that will convince anyone reading it that you do.
mma trains you for …
mma trains you for ring orientated fighting i train in gracie jiu jistsu it prepares you for all aspects of fighting street and ring fighting it is the ultimate art but training in mma cant hurt either you need to be an all rounder these days for both in ring and out but tradtional martial arts against an all rounder tell me who really has the advantage take him out of his element and the all round fighter would win hands down!

Fedor is the world …
Fedor is the world champion in Combat Sambo, which is a martial art. Sambo can be literally translated as Self-defense without a weapon. Combat Sambo was developed from judo in Soviet Union in order to create a standart martial art for the army. Sport Sambo is basically a judo but the one that isn’t focused on how perfect your throws were all it focuses is on what part of the body your oponent fell. Originally any thrower doesn’t want to go on the ground together with the target of his throw.
Because if you …
Because if you managed to throw someone on their back and is still standing you can destroy anyone. Thats where grappling comes in, because if the person that got thrown isn’t holding on to you and doesn’t make you fall with him his chances of not getting killed are kinda small. The whole purpose of combat sambo is to throw someone down and finish him off with a punch or a kick while he s on the ground.

Hitting with an …
Hitting with an elbow might be appropriate if the person is trying to attack you. But what if you were the one that hit first and he evaded it and got close enough to you. If someone gets into full contact with you the only thing you can do are weak hits on his back that wont do any damage. Meanwhile a person like that knows everything about balance. And knows how to make you fall down. Fedor’s fighting is a lot about counter-attacking.
It was an honest …
It was an honest and sincere question. Was calling me an idiot really necessary you piece of crap? And what the heck is the use of training serious MMA if its not complete in preparing you 4 any situation? So just shut up cos bcos ive been training TKD, Karate, and Muay Thai my whole life.

They don’t train to defend those types of weapons because they train for the sport of the octagon you idiot.Not Budo. How ofton in life does someone come at you with a sword?? and If they do, you run, you don’t try and fight. These guys are humble sportsmen who train for a sport. Not a 2000 year old samurai battle field. Get over it.
