“martial arts” (kung fu, karate, aikido, etc) have been exposed as the frauds they are? Any reasonably competent UFC fighter would completely “own” a purist karate “master” or a kung fu practitioner in a street fight, don’t you think?
Oh, come on people. You gonna tell me that you know any purist kung fu or karate master that would take Chuck Liddell in a street fight?
Hey, “thepaladin.” I understand your point about Bruce Lee, but he was what – 80 pounds soaking wet? And heavy bags don’t move… or fight back.
OK… Y’all have beaten me into submission. lol… I guess the question was poorly worded. What I was getting at is – don’t you think a skilled MMA (UFC) fighter would pretty much dominate a purist of any another art IF it came down to a one-on-one, no-weapons-allowed street brawl?
Quicksilver… Believe me, it gives me NO pleasure to ask this question. My own brother is a 6th degree black belt in Aikido, and has his own dojo. I’ve had some training in Karate, but not enough to be a significant force… My main thing is an overwhelming desire NOT to lose, and raw, brute force punching power.
