FIrst of all you are obveously inexpierenced and thought that you would surely win, and so deserved to get a beating. MA is extremely effective WHEN YOU ACCUALLY TRAIN AND ARE EFFECTIVE WITH YOUR TECHNIQUES. Yeah blows dont hurt, when your fighting some black kid with no training who throws his arms at you. Honestly..... In a fight (which i use loosly since I was sparring a friend with gloves and kicks on, but with full power blows) that I won, I got my meniscus torn and ripped my ACL and MCL. and that hurt for more than a month. You shouldnt have to think about using a technique esspecialy one like punching, my god why would you change a punching style in the middle of a fight. Jesus I have been training so long that it would feel unnatural to punch a different way first of all. and your probably thinking, "wow this kid is reeming me but probably hasnt ever been in a fight" well lets talk about that. In elementry school (after 1 year of training) 3 bullies decided it would be fun to "body slam" me or do some wrestling move from TV. 2 of them picked up my arms and hte otehr one went towards my feet to pick them up, so i side kicked him in the face. That situation was over, the other 2 kids walked away while the one i kicked cried. In Grade 8 (maybe going on 4th year of training) I was mugged by a homeless man with a knife (about 5 inch, single edge) acting on INSTINCT I used a self defense technique I had trained many times before and disarmed him, after that scuffle the man ran away and I threw his knife on a macdonalds roof down the road. The next year I started doing tournaments, after a tournament that I placed gold in for sparring, the silver medalist and 2 of his friends decided it would be smart to attack me in the parking lot, I broke the nose of one of his friends and made him throw up, his other firend kinda just watched and jumped in every once in awhile so there was no need to hurt him. More recently I was threatend with a machete by kids who where in a "gang" because I had called one of them a fag on an internet site. Nothing happened with that becasue someone called the police. and Now every friday me and some friends get together to train MA and share tips and techniques, every once in awhile a tough kid will come with the promise of "bootstomping" me or kicking someone elses ass, becasue they feel they need to prove they are tough. no one has ever come to challenge a member of our little organization and won, now is this a conisidence or is it becasue me and my friends train to be effective fighters and learn to use our arts effectivly. So when you say that Martial arts are ineffective it is a direct insult to me and everythign I believe, maybe a martial art is useless to some skiney, poser who goes to class and learns the patterns and thinks he is a great martial artist, but martial arts have protected me on multiple occasions and saved me life on a few as well.


PS: it was piontless to make a new thread but this guys statments really enraged me and I felt a need for him to read my opinion.

also, no offence I didnt mean to be harsh to you but you shouldnt generalize all martial artist based on your own expierences.

ChunGi

hey I got some videos and stuff i made today while sparring with my buddies. In anotehrj thread u said getting hit didnt hurt, but today i got foreheaded (yeah just like in a movie) and it hurt like a biatch, right on the cheek bone, and now it hurts to eat. I dont know a block for a forehead. But now that i know it works i may use it sometime, when in a grappling situation.
anyways what i am asking is where can upload my stuff and if i could how do i post it on this site??
