    That is interesting. I never want to fall down in any form when I am fighting on the street. I hear people say that, online of course, but the reality is ending up on the ground in a STREET FIGHT can literally be your death.
    Ending up on the ground even if you know how to fight like that changes whether the guy you are fighting has a knife or not. They don't teach people how to deal with that in any martial arts class because you can't predict that. I have been cut up before and nothing prepares you for the knife.
    If whoever you fight has buddies you can get stomped. I'm not sure what kind of fight you have been in but, that whole"80% of fights end up on the ground" theory has never been tested in the greatest combat arena in America, PRISON.

    What part of the UK are you from?

    Can't be London, I live in London and little kids were I live would quite happily take somebody down and choke them out.

    I thought you cured your boredom with the Ann Wolfe thread.

    I think they are both closer to dancing than real fighting like a Hong Kong bullet ballet. When have you ever seen two guys who know what they are doing fight for half an hour at a time? Anyway, nobody ever pulls a weapon either.

    It's all bull****. Now you're goinna tell me that people don't really talk like they do in the movies.

    I'm from Rotorua in NZ


    They shouldn't be choking people out, they could easily kill someone, you would get a swift kick to the head if you tried that around here!!!!

    NZ, nice, I've never been to NZ but I know people that have and they absolutely loved the whole experience.

    Yeah there's a lot of that in London too, swift kicks to the head, you see as crazy as it sounds I have no problems with the choking, kicking and punching because it feels and sounds a lot safer than the ever so popular knife/gun fights/attacks.

    I personally wouldn't do that but I like the way you've kept it simple.

    MMA is closer to a real fight and that's why it ISN'T the superior combat sport. What you claim is like saying running to catch a bus is the true test of sprinting not the 100m.

    I was half sarcastic and half serious because I was responding to when the OP said MMA is closer to "real fighting".

    Real fighting is an M4A1 and an Apache chopper. LMAO this guy says fighting like it's a sport. LOL, fighting is not a sport.

    I wanted to be universal about it. Prison is a no escape battle ground of pure fighting.
