So great strikers never spin around after a kick, ever, its an automatic disqualification and revocation of greatness for strikers?
like i said, i never pretended i was a fighter, nor did i pretend that i had some sort of knowledge of "fighting", as you clearly are doing. but hey, feel free to continue to post your pro-ufc bull****.
what i mean by great strikers is not so much with there fists, but with other parts of there body like an elbow. You would be surprised how devasting a well placed elbow to the face can be. And I have yet really to see a kick do anything meaningful in an mma fight. Seems like a kick gets the guy more in trouble than anything else.
My unique brand of girly turn away while slapping wildy (Slap Foo Do) is just as good as Muy Thai Kickboxing. It's all about the practitioner, after all...
Okay, honestly, this argument is stupid. Very very clearly, very ****ing OBVIOUSLY you carry more power through your strikes if you try to throw it THROUGH your opponent. Boxers try to punch THROUGH their opponents heads, they dont try to stop their punch as soon as they hit their face. Obviously the same thing goes for kicking... If you throw a head kick as hard as you can, looking to throw it through your opponents head, and you miss, you can't just STOP it in air and pull it back without leaving yourself even more vulnerable than just doing the 360... It's OBVIOUS... you are dumb.
See Gonzaga versus Cro Cop See Gonzaga versus Werdum See George St Pierre versus Matt Hughes 2 See pretty much most Cro Cop fights
I like them both.. I like K1 because of its high technical level. I like MMA if the guys are really skillful..I dont like guys laying on someone doing nothing. BJ,Anderson is a great example they have their skillsets and they utilize it through the fight..they will their skills over someone. They showcase their expertise..it brings integrity to the sport. Prime example why I cant watch MMA sometimes is the Swick/Burkman fight..just because the skill levels are not high. Burkman a wrestler who cant get a takedown. Mike the quick a striker that cant connect..it results in a bad fight
You're not particularly knowledgeable about MMA or fighting in general. The martial arts used in MMA (UFC) are tried and tested in full contact combat fights. All that whimsical bull**** like flying kicks, 1 inch punches and karate chops doesn't work at all outside of a movie, thats why you never see that stuff utilized in a real fight or in an MMA fight. The martial arts used in MMA such as Boxing,sambo, Muay Thai,wrestling,BJJ,Judo etc etc are the real deal. The reason why many of us are "anti-any martial art that isn't in the ufc" is because the vast vast vast majority of martial arts that aren't utilized in MMA really aren't effective at all.
Well MMA does have rules of course and you'll never see a street fight have as much skill as in an MMA fight (Unless you by chance catch two MMA fighters streetfighting) But sure, put an MMA fighter vs a non-skilled streetbrawler and the MMA fighter wins easily. Why? because the techniques MMA fighters use are tried and tested in fights and would work in a street fight. Its pretty simple.
oh, not effective? so krav maga is ineffective? so systema is ineffective? so escrima, which is taught to indonesian and some american special forces, is ineffective? so savate, which is taught to the european equivalent of swat, is ineffective? so xinyiquan, which was used in china's army to train spearmen, is ineffective? so kung fu, which was used for centuries to defend a temple of monks from well armed bandits, is ineffective because you foolishly believe that kung fu movies have anything to do with actual chinese martial arts? so pankration, which was used by spartan warriors, is ineffective? so gatka, which was used by the sikhs in combat, is ineffective? so learn something once in a while duke.
