LOL...training in the martial arts, I've gotten my @ss handed to me plenty of times; that's part of training. In general you train as realistically as possible while trying to minimize injuries. Quote:

... by the way, I have checked quite a few of your posts and you definitely seem to be more open minded than most in these forums. Which is pretty rare in the martial arts community. | |

![]() ![]() | Mixed Martial Artists are simply waiting for Kung Fu guys to step up and earn their respect. If your KF training has you fighting resiting opponents, often trying to raise the level of contact very high, then no NHB guy would defame it I don't think. Especially if it included grappling/clinch/striking ranges. Most of the guys who bitch about Tae Kwon Do, Karate, Kung Fu, and their like are bitching about their lack of this. Their reliance on forms and outdated, immobile "stances" and blocks and all that crap. The main criticism is that style of fighting and training only works in class against classmates, or against the athletically unfit. We bitch about the kata and the useless repetition without a resisting opponent. Thats why the Kung Fu guys don't get respect from the MMA guys. If they don't fit that description, then I don't think any MMArtists would have a problem with it. I know straight blast gym has many Karate/TaeKwonDo schools that pay for seminars to explore "alive" training. If that trend continues, MMArtists will be changing how they voice that complaint. They will mostly be saying, probably, "Those guys that never really fight" instead of naming specific arts.
