Do YOU do any Martial Arts?

one punch of butterbean and you don’t need to do all the other things

Boxing provides head movement, footwork, defense, and reflexes

The bad about muay thai is the lack of headmovement, footwork, and defense.

Dutch kickboxing is way more technical and defensive. They also use the clinch as a finish position more than a trade position

He’s doing some Steve Fox shit. Who says fighting game moves don’t work in a real fight? I also saw some Jin Kazama left, left, strong right combos…

Dude already mastered the real-life wavedash.

I remember years ago playing TTT against another Kazuya player who mastered the wavedash. I also tackled him so there’s that. LOL!!!

oh lomachenko is a beast. dudes had 300+ am fights before goin pro

Saying that MMA is the ‘evolution’ of martial arts is pretty dumb. Its just a popular format. Correlation is not causation.

The sport no… The mentality is newish and clearly an evolution.

Nah, Pankration and Lei Tai fights were a thing in history.

The idea of cross training isn’t new, it was merely revived.

i said newish. cross training isnt new but the idea of straight up destroying old tma ideals as a whole…thats some modern age shit. it wasnt til the late 90s it finally started to die out as a whole. youtube helped destroy the myths that niggas were killin people with ki n shit.

The athlete mentality needs to he included when practicing martial arts
Strong body, strong mind, discipline

A lot of guys who train goof off, but they train to improve physically

If you are of a mindset where you think you can’t get shit from powerlifting to benefit your grappling or striking you need to be stomped out

I think cross training (ie. using proven science training methods) which is my idea of cross training is definitely new. However incorporating multiple idealogies into martial arts isn’t new IMO. MMA is a popular format so this idea of melding multiple martial arts is just blowing up but its not a new idea.

I couldnt agree more about crosstraining using science in fitness is the future. But MA’s like Sambo or Systema (the real stuff lol) or QCQ or even Jeet Kun Do melded multiple idealogies.

jeet kune do was kinda the beginning, now its more a mainstream thinking. take the best stuff from other styles and kick out the bad. science obviously is newer just because the technology got better.

Modern day submission grappling is ever evolving. From 1993 to now, the growth and cross training mixing of styles is more prevailent in submission grappling. When you got bjj black belts training with olympic wrestlers training with judoka training with catch training with greco roman mixing with both boxing and muay thai clinches

It is all inclusive and complex

btw vasyl lomachenko fights with his strongest hand forward just like Jeet Kune Do. the way he moves even looks similar to bruce’s footwork

1 loss 396 wins btw

Your including his am career

I remember when Rogan used to rave about him on his podcast, I didn’t believe the hype since he has a habit of exaggerating the abilities of fighters he likes but the kid is the real deal, mesmerizing.

Except he said he wanted to fight Terrance Crawford. That would have been suicide. Vasyl surpisingly has a professional loss already. His first professional fight he won the featherweight title lol. His movement is nice as hell. He’s also ambidexterous
