This is hilarious. 4 pages of shit flinging since yesterday!
Jubaji, your childish name calling is getting a bit old mate, grow up.
It seems that throughout this entire thread we have one half stating that sport arts like BJJ and Muay Thai are not designed, and therefore not effective, for reality based self defence situations. That’s not to say that a Muay Thai fighter will never get out of a mugging or confrontation, he still knows how to throw a punch, but there are so many factors involved in RBSD situations like the mugging in the original article that a Muay Thai class will not prepare you for. Surely we can all agree on this?
The other half just seem set on twisting words to support an utterly pointless argument.
What are we really disputing here? What is the debate? It seems to have turned in to a RBSD Vs Sport Arts. Well, lets just think about that for a second. Which practice is more likely to increase your chances of survival in a mugging? I don’t even need to say it as I think this point has been stressed enough.
And what’s everyone's problem with Uke? He sure as hell is giving a lot more to the debate than most of the name callers in this thread. |
