i really want to hear some peoples opinions about all these guys who talk about their crack shots and black belts.
this stuff always pisses me off on any board, and after reading a guys post with his laughable belief that he could take 3 normal guys no problem in H2H i knew i had to post this. Let me tell you a bit about myself first, i do not purport to be bruce lee or mike tyson, but i grew up in a very violent/alienating/over all latch key type environment. I felt that tough guys were the kings of the world and my goal was to be tough. Ive been in many fights, a bare knuckle fighting club and now an amateur boxing club. The thinking that violence solved problems and made a man out of you has had me arrested and incarcerated several times, hanging out with the wrong guys and such (with dead/jailed friends to show for it.) so in short i do not consider myself one of these posuers im asking about. anyway, ive fought 2 and 3 guys at a time, guys who i considered well below my level of experience, and it was always fing hard (actually fighting them at the same time, not when they stand around bruce lee style or you stun one then fight the other), granted ive never had any multiple opponent specific training. Your green belts are probably not hard core guys, probably little kids or dorky guys who want confidence, they may have a belt but are they strong? experienced? quick? smart? these things make a good fighter (like the 6 you think you are/will be) not just gym work. Ive never seen a matial artist kick ass, anywhere. Never even heard any credible stories of them doing so (except military martial artists, which admittedly fight in a way most people would associate with brawling/grappling). In UFC the karate and kung fu guys never win, it is the brawlers or wrestlers. anyway, i dont mean to just attack anyone but that skill 6 stuff was BS. Please post your opinions on the poll and what i said, im sorry if i didnt explain/have a point. I am busy and am trying to hurry. later |
