Do YOU do any Martial Arts?

Wing chun is a shitty form

I’m very surprised you all negate striking versus WRESTLING in a martial arts thread. All those years wasted kicking and punching

Kicking is damn near useless in a street fight so of course you understand. My main group wreck people as soon as their foot leaves the ground Lol

Your group wouldn’t even see the foot leaving the ground.

Now it is getting even sillier

“But in a street fight i have a knife”

Well, I won’t. Since…y’know…location and all.

But how do you play knifey/spooney?

We have to play at home. With butter knives.

PM me your address nikka

Kicking is almost useless in the streets 1 its obvious when you make a kick attempt and 2 the timing of kicks is way too long and 3 it takes three times as much stamina to perform. This is reality were talking about not kung fu magic land

None of those people in the vid even know how to fight, kicking you’re vulnerable to holds, knee strikes, sweeps, pushes, a fountain of punches all while your trying to get your breath stabilized. Please don’t show these civilian vids anymore they don’t know wtf they’re doing.

Edit: Shit wait let me clarify, low line kicking is very good only slightly risky. But above the waist is almost suicide

You’re right, but that’s the point. Most do not know what to do once it goes down and even the most idiotic moves MAY work. If they’re up against someone who IS experienced, or just know how to read body language and try that… it’ll be a bad, bad day.

Also, yes, kicking the shit out of the legs of the foe is very effective, and I’d say it is quite beautiful as it is pretty damn safe. The safer the better.
Did it in school back in the day to stop a guy from physically bullying a gay guy. He stopped.

I’m also going to agree with the high kicks. It is too risky, unless you can lock down the opponent or getting the opponent off-balance that is. I’d stick to low kicks though.

Agree. These guys talking about spinning kicks and shit don’t know what it means to actually fight, which in itself is quite the risk. No color of belt can save you if you are careless in a fight.

Example:

Both of these idiots commit to shit moves. Lucky it is a friendly fight…

I don’t live in the US so I can’t speak for that.

Self-defense should not be a crystalization of any “style”. Ip Chun himself speaks of it here:

You set up leg kicks with punches. And you better follow it up with another strike

Also feinting or throwing a hook is how you set up a spin kick

But hey you know whatever. You guys will probably get sent to suplex city no matter what

you’re not going to like this but why are you giving noob descriptions of how to set up a kick when the ONLY benefit of a high kick in a real fight is it’s range :confused: you can do ABC (attack by combination) with a high kick near the end if it’s sport, in a real fight there’s a very high likeliness of it getting stuffed, destroyed or grabbed. spin kick is a HUGE no no in a street fight, it’s suicide if you can clearly see your opponent can fight (unless you’re talking about feinting a hook for a round house) but even then someone who knows what they’re doing in a high risk fight would probably destruct any wide angle attacks you try to throw at them. body language is the highest form of combat and if you both have decided to damage each other seriously there are dozens of tail tale signs good fighters are aware of

and I don’t mind getting a suplex you’ll just have to stand up proud with no eyes

Ki Shima is about that Baki life…I like it!! LOL!!

He thinks he can, but that is not how it works. Like seriously, i doubt the dude has trained at all.

I won’t concede because i know i am right

I agree with you on the grappling vs striking, but not on the uselessness of high kicks. Look at this:

Randy is one of the best fighters and still couldn’t do anything about that kick. The fight was also over on the spot. Why couldn’t this work in a street fight ? There are a bunch of other examples from k-1 - just watch Andy Hug, Peter Aerts in his prime or Glaube Feitosa - how can you say high kicks are useless ?

An R.Mika style butt slam is effective technique when you throw it out and it connects that one time. It doesn’t mean it’s a smart move.

If you watch MMA you’ll see more fighters fall on their own asses more times than kicks landing flush to the head.

We can’t all be Dee Jay

wow, this is one of the scariest ko’s I’ve ever seen.

in mma/ufc you’re fighting according to a rule set, no threat of potential knife, no clothes to grab, no rough shoes to worry about, no concrete, no solid walls, no random objects; so it becomes a game of shapes (limbs and body position). one of the main aims of high level sport fighting is to make your opponent manage potentialities in given situations. if you look carefully couture was over stimulated and was preparing for a curved strike guarding his face while staying on machida’s right side. machida stimulated coutures high guard by keeping his hands high and feinted a left kick for couture to step uncomfortably to his left to brace for the impact of the feinted left roundhouse kick; this left a gap in couture’s horizontally prepared guard enough to squeeze in a front kick, which machida reached with by hopping slightly forward. this is a sport type of game, it can work but the risk is retardedly high, you need to psychologically cultivate your opponent to decrease the risk factor of it and that’s something that is completely in the nature of sport fighting.

almost anything can work in a street fight, it’s not about what can and can’t work it’s about what has the highest vs lowest risk factor
