Delusional martial artists are too commonly found nowadays IMO. I have a blue belt in bjj, a black belt in tkd, and a black belt in goju ryu, so I meet them all the time. They all think that they are the shit. Martial arts these days aren't realistic. Don't get me wrong, I still think that it's loads of fun, but when you train in a gym/dojo/whatever, there are no variables. You have the guy, and he has 2 arms, 2 legs, etc. On the streets however, a guy could have a gun, a knife, a buddy....It's just not realistic. I always tell my friends the best martial art is one that focuses on takedowns (judo etc). Why? Because you can take people the fuck down, and run the fuck away. But they always seem to think I'm being modest or something. Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>16447MMA is the name of an organised sport, idiot. That organized sport has prohibitive rules, therefore it is not all encompassing at all. The mixing of martial arts is a vague concept. But it is not referred to as "MMA." If it were, Chuck Norris would be considered an MMA fighter. He is not. So you are wrong. And I am right. Sorry if my statement of facts have offended you. But that's how it is.

If I could choose two martial arts it would probably be wrestling and BJJ or wrestling and muay thai.
Whoops, accidental sage.

Who would you rather fuck Kim Couture or Kerry Vera?
DICKS EVERYWHERE
I would take those other bitches in the back, but I guess it would be Mrs.Vera.
This fight is already 10x better than randy vs. brandon
>>16464 only 10x ? i can't think of a worse main event non title fight. only 3 rounds of bullshit instead of 5.
Kim. No contest. Although I think it's lame that she hangs on to the last name despite not being married to Randy anymore. Almost like the name is the reason she's being taken seriously in the first place.
So if there was a tournament style MMA match on 420chan which board would come out victorious? Last?
/fit/
/mma/ & /wooo/ would triumph over everything.
/nra/... wait a minute, no one has guns on /nra/, silly me.
>>16417/woo/s only chance is to troll and be annoying until everyone leaves
/weed/ would win, easily. The impenetrable fog of pot smoke around them is so dense that by the time you get close enough to fight you're too stoned to do anything but eat Doritos and call everyone 'man'.
Favorite Martial Art's based Weapon, /mma/Tonfa's for me.. Beautiful weapon to wield. Great control, power, and can be used for multiple uses in defense.

I'm going to start sparring in Muay Thai soon. I was just wondering what equipment i should buy. Obviously I need gloves and shinpads but do i need to get a groin guard specific to muay thai as i have one through cricket.

tl;dr I need these things:
I'm a bjj guy, but I like to get used gear off ebay. That way you can get really good shit without paying full price. Does your gym sell gear? It's a nice and convenient way to support them if them if they do.

if your talking about a cup, yes. if your talking about that goofy thing muay thai the trainers wear then proabably not
anyone know of any gd brands? or had experience with any brands?Im considering Twins atm but they are quite costy.

Windy/Twins or generic muay thai cup. Steel with leather covering and padding at the edges. Awkward thong style strings to hold it in place.I've tried half a dozen cups over the years in BJJ and my steel cup (from Title MMA, it's a Windy knockoff for $20) is easily the most comfortable and safest I have used. You could hit me in the dick with a crowbar and I would walk away from it, the strings keep in precisely in place and it will easily survive the next decade or so of use. It also provides a nasty fulcrum for armbars and does a good job of discouraging low blows (it hurts the kicker's shin/foot if he's not wearing shin pads). Comment too long.

>>16304He's an asshole on purpose because it makes him money.He acts no differently now than when he was in the WWE. And guess what: It's STILL an act. He hams up the villain role and people pay to see him lose.And he gets huge fucking paychecks to fight because of it.

He acts no differently now than when he was in the WWE. And guess what: It's STILL an act. He hams up the villain role and people pay to see him lose.

>>16451>He acts no differently now than when he was in the WWE.WRONG. I take it you never watched his WWE run. If you did, then you're deluding yourself to justify his behavior. Because I can say with a pretty fucking high degree of certainty that Brock Lesnar sucked shit at cutting promos. He was terrible as a babyface, and terrible as a heel. That's why WWE had to give him Paul Heyman - the best in the business - as a mouthpiece to help him get over; he couldn't do it on his own. When he did open his mouth, his promos were awfully delivered, he had no wit whatsoever, and he sounded horribly unnatural. You're saying he went from being the shittiest fucking promo guy in the biz to being so good that he fools almost everyone in the world? Within the span of a couple of years? Without practicing? Buuuuullshit. Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

Yes, there's really no question that being around the business some of that must have rubbed off on him.
>>16401You know you've spent too much time on the internet when your first thought upon seeing that is "the one on top looks almost deep enough to fuck".
>>16403Now that I see this, I ask if it is possible that the muscle mass lost from a staph infection can be regained, or does it permanently damage the area?
I had Staph ("MRSA") on the side of my mouth about a year ago luckily i called it early and went to the doctors. They just had to cut a about 2inch gash inside the side of my mouth to let it drain and lance the bump on the outside with a needle. had to fucking lay down for 3 days on pillow pad so it all could drain out. think the worst was having to throw up after they cut it open due to fever.
>>16425How did you get staph, on the side of your mouth?

Aldo looked damn impressive tonight. Anyone see it?
No. Fuck Comcast for wanting so much money from DirectTV for Versus.
Aldo is a beast. I seriously see nobody at 145 who can pose a threat to him, he will rip through Manny Gamburyan.Can't wait for Brown vs. Faber III though.

Oh what the fuck, this was on tonight? I thought WEC shows were on Sunday nights. Godfuckingdammit...
I have a feeling that Aldo is going to keep that belt for a long long time. Did you see him at the end of the fight? He was near hysterics.
Aldo has been on a tear in the WEC, poor Mike Brown just got annihilated out there. Aldo has been looking impressive for a long time now.

>>15882You'd like to think that, but a real gym would have a metal fire door. They get away with not using a fire door because it's a TV set, which the Nevada fire code calls "temporary structural improvments" and those don't require fire doors. If it were actually a training facility they wouldn't get away with building it so cheaply.

I don't think the quality of the door would help/hurt any training that takes place there.
>>15900I seriously know what I saw, which was Rampage Jacking up a cardboard door, and a real gym would have a fire door. Ergo, since it doesn't meet the firecode for training activities, they can only train if they're filming it, because then the building is being used as a studio, which it meets the zoning requirements for.I'm not making this shit up, go to /law/ if you don't believe me.

I guess Rampage owes his guys $1500. Matt is such a fucking bitch. Fuck him.
