i’m not trying to rag on these guys. but c’mon- why don’t these guys ever do:
-aikido
-judo
-ninjitsu
-kempo
-tang soo do
-combat chi
-krav maga
it seems as though all these guys are only proficient in grappling/ like jujitsu or some other stuff. it all just looks like wrestling to me. i thought these guys were world class martial artists. the first time i ever saw ufc,i was pretty young [12-13 yrs]. i’m now almost 32. but i pictured something a lot cooler and different. i pictured some cool a$$ kung fu type of sh!t. but all these dudes were doing was wrestling eachother and punching a guy while he’s down. there seems to be a lack of discipline in this particular “sport”. it doesn’t look like an honorable profession. i mean seriously, these guys just look like your run of the mill thug-douchebag. they look totally unprofessional and act like wild animals. there doesn’t seem to be any artistry to their style of fighting. it’s just a bunch of self absorbed,ego-maniacs trying to prove who’s more of a “bill bad-a$$”. again, i apologize if i seem like a jerk. i just don’t understand it.
also, again i want to make perfectly clear this is NOT apersonal attack on ANYONE! so please, do not take offense in anything i just wrote
actually, to the gentleman,or lady who commented that i didnt’ know what i was talking about. well, yes sir/maam, i do. i don’t personally remeber how old i was, the 1st time i watched a video of it one night my brother brought it home to watch.that is why i guesstimated the time frame. ok, maybe i was 14. ooh big difference. all i remember was it was a long time ago.and i was still in school. i studied tang soo do for 5 1/2 yrs. and love it. it’s a really great form. btw, mma has been around for a while [it was founded in '93]..so yeah, perhaps i was 13 yrs of age.also, for all intents and purposes, mma does not fall into the category, nor is recognized as a “sport” according to olympic officials. just hard core fans of the fighting “style” (if you’d like to call it that )…by the way, the Gracie family brought traditional MMA to the united states in 1993 also.so, again i do know what i’m talking about. i told you before this was not a pers
i meant UFC has also been around since ’93
