Steven Seagal training with Anderson Silva

Nice try stoo but that has nothing to do with Technique. I think the problem with most fans, and your fan too, is you guys don't understand the difference between tornament fighting and street fighting. It's a world of difference. A guy coming at you with a knife or more than one attacker, your grappling goes out the window. If you don't believe me watch the human weapon videos with krav maga, and you can see how he was only trained for the ring and had it been real situation, he would of died. So basically most of the styles that all these fighters go in the ring, is watered down. Muay Thai, Tae Kwon, Aikido, etc etc. a lot of it is watered down for the ring. A lot of the blocks that are in Muay Thai, a lot of it they don't teach. And BTW, I train myself with credible people to know this. This is the reason why I don't to debates because it's a waist of time, I'd rather show person by letting them attack me(which I have done many of times) than talking because it's too much time consuming.

 

I'd throw some cash on him if you and him fought. I think he'd whip your ass. Matterfact I know he would, I don't think.

 

I'm a JKD guy, so I usually use Aikido after a block and advance in(from the footwork of fencing) on them and than go into Juijitsu. Either way, it serves it's purpose in some situations.

 

That's not true. You can excute it after a block but if a guy was throwing fast punches, than you would do something else and timing breaks speed, so you don't have try do it with someone throwing fast punches. And a wrestler shooting in, there's ways around that too, but too many guys in UFC rely on making it barbaric, instead of using techinque(you have to work at it with a live opponent) and they don't work on techinque enough from a striking standpoint. You can't just spar, that's not enough.


And if you have the techinque, you'll never have to think, it'll always be there. If you have to think too much, than your doing something wrong, it's suppose to be automatic. Everything has do with the way person is being taught, that is main factor.
