the same people who think that mma junk would work in the streets are the same people who thought the *stone cold stunner would work in a real fight....mma is a step up from wwe really not a real sport but and *action sport along with the x-games and pro bullriding
All interesting points. Hmm, should I have posted this in the training forum? Would someone mind moving it there? Different perspectives are always good.
one on one, ground game rules....more than one person against one and you better not go anywhere near the ground...stick and move
Punch him as quick as possible! I was reading Bruce Lee's training book one time (the one he used to teach his students), and he gave like 50 or so things to remember. One of them was if somebody gets in your face, near you, and you think your going to be in a fight HIT THEM IMMEDIATELY! No talking...No shoving...Simply hit em, and finish them off. Another one was use weapons, anything in the environment. It said something like "better them in the hospital than you." He also says to not think about what the other person is going to do, but think about what your going to do to them. So, no hesitation, and fight dirty. I don't care what somebody knows...If I'm scared, and believe there's going to be a confrontation there getting hit! After that will be another one, maybe some grappling, knees, elbows, eye gouges, kick em in the sack, I don't care... I practice a little bit of everything though when it comes to possible street fighting. My main thing is boxing, and a lot of inside fighting (with grappling/ controlling the bag, clinching, and hitting, etc). I also practice Forearms, knees, front kicks, kicks to the knee, kicks to the balls, sidekicks. So, I can stick on the gloves, and box...But I mainly train for defense. Good to be well rounded no matter what the situation is.
I agree, boxing is a sport, martial arts are arts. Fighting is survival. Although I box and karate, i will probably just kick your neck and twist your nose and snap your wrist in an actual "fight." Huge difference.
Takedown defense and keep your hands up high and watch out for those kicks. Look at what chuck liddell did to those wrestlers when they couldn't take him down. He destroyed them on his feet. Now imagine a boxer with better striking and defense would do to an MMA fighter who has to fight him on his feet. Kill kill kill kill em all:bbb
Stay off the ground. Don't hesitate to punch when in correct range, especially with the jab. The jab is the most under utilized weapon in mma. Stay off the ground. Keep your hands up, and don't get caught with a head kick. Stay off the ground. Immediately jab and get on bicycle if opponent reaches out. Avoiding clinches and takedowns is essential to staying off the ground. If you are not in punching range, get there or get way way back. Leg kicks are not fun. Above all, stay off the ground. If you wind up on the ground, tap. That or bite, eye gouge, and do whatever else it takes to get disqualified.
In a real life scenario your reflexes (aka punches) react so fast that a professional boxer could inflict alot of damage on someone. You have to remember these guys have more than likely been doing this and only this since a very young age, therefore their timing,speed, and accuracy is on another level.
There are some good hints for a boxer in this video [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RW22o1Plm4[/ame]
In a street fight, against an MMA fighter, you box till you get in a clinch. Then simply grab a finger and break it off their hand, gouge the eyes, rip their throat out, etc. Grappling and BJJ is not a thing in the real world when you know how to be dirty.
