whoops. They didn't work. Anyone wanna embed these videos for me? [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUvql8D2tIc[/ame] [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZeSMiaADCs[/ame] EDIT:- Ok, so they embed themselves! LOL. I'm still learning!
JKD IS BULL ****. BRUCE LEE was an exceptional athlete. not a figher. he wore panties in enter the dragon and self promoted a lot but did not fight. doe Carruthers wear panties also. if so maybe he is Lee number two. good golden gloves boxers, parking lot brawlers, mma guys would beat their asses. that is why they like to do demos. **** im gonna vomit and die someday from all this worship of Lee. it is the stupidest **** in this planet.
check with comfag he probably owns the panties Lee wore in ETD. probably bought them at auction and keeps them in a trophy case, when he isnt wearing them.
I am verbally submitting to this thread! :yep Soooo, in a way Carruthers just made me tap. I guess that makes him 1-0.
How has he proven his athletic ability? Zab Judah probably looks like superman in sparring, but you put him against world class fighters and other factors come in to play, and this is a guy who is a proven world class athlete. It takes a little bit more than messing about doing death touches and spinning heel kicks to validate your ability as a fighter. If he had any interest in testing himself, he would have pro fights, simple.
It's hilarious how Carruthers, Lee etc are given the benefit of the doubt when it comes to intangiables which are more important in combat then any other sport. Stamina, heart, chin etc Fighters spend years proving these traits. There isn't a single thing Carruthers can do that GSP doesn't have the talent to do but if we'd never seen him fight we wouldn't know his chin was suspect.
stupid MMA-Freak! You say a MMA Fighter is the favorit because Carruthers never fight on a video camera? I bet you never seen a silverback gorilla fight on camera.. also is mma fighter a stronger fighter like a silverback? what a bull****! there are differents between a ruled MMA Fight or a fight for life or death.
Carruthers is not a silverback gorrila you idiot he is a man. Therefore has similar traits to other men. He has never displayed skills in an actual combat situation ever that you could show me. GSP fights for a living and I have hours and hours of video that I can show of GSP fighting full contact using a vast array of skills picking some guy wh has not shown this at all is folly and should not be even considered.
You know, if I was Carruthers or one of the other mystical masters that are occasionally revered in a similar light to Bruce Lee, I'd compete and beat the best MMA fighters just to be able to say "Look what I can do with one arm tied behind my back!". I mean, JKD and so forth contain a variety of techniques both legal and illegal under MMA rules. But are JKD punches the most effective? Stance and footwork? Kicks? Various grappling moves? Even if we can't test eye gouges or whatnot, there's plenty that should be testable. And it seems like a no-lose situation. Lose an MMA match and you can use the excuse that you weren't able to use your most deadly techniques. Win it, and you get awesome bragging rights because you won using just a limited portion of your arsenal. Yet none of them do. Curious.
And that should be the final post in this thread. Diomedes has broken it down,now lets see the film of carruthers beating up an MMa guy... Time to put up or shut up,cannibus and JKD fans...
This is a stupid thread. In any era of MMA rules GSP is a favorite over everyone his size or smaller. The fact that his flashy, basically, kata is so impressive to some people just shows that they have learned NOTHING about fighting from MMA. MMA SHOULD HAVE educated the world in a very real way as to what is required to actually be effective in a no rules or limited rules situation. It is ridiculous that people can still be so ignorant.

Judo is far from an ineffective art. For instance, Fedor was a former high level judo competitor. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvI5X0-nY1E[/ame]
http://www.jkd-garydill.com/schools.htm, Look under the New York one under charted schools. That's my Jeet Kune Do instructor. I'm almost past a basic level right now and thru myself in the fire and all of the techinques work. Infact my instructor use to get challenges all the time when he had his dojo, which he's getting ready to open back up and he's made everyone who came in there that challenged him leave with something, sometimes black eyes, or not knots on their head. Most of them had good ground games and claimed they trained for yrs. They all have different opinions now. Now as far as Jeet kune do goes, it's a very complicated style to learn because you have to have good cordination for everything else to flow(which most fighters don't know how to do and that includes UFC fighters) and it's a complete mma style. Most people want quick results so they won't invest there time trying to learn because of that reason. As for the matchup, Tornament fighting isn't the same as street fighting and that was the whole point I was trying to make, I guess some of you don't understand because most of you guys get to caught up in rankings of belts system(which doesn't mean jack, cause I've seen white belts take out black belts) or how many tornaments a certain fighter's won, which also doesn't mean your great fighter. Your just great in that one style. And like I said you fight the way you train and if you only train for tornaments, than your only gonna fight that way.
