basketball brawl

[EmptyneSs]

i love this clip. everything just go so out of hand over nothing. this all started over a shove, and it nearly caused a riot. and im glad some of the fans got punched out, that was the best part. im sure many people have seen this already, but its great. what u guys think of this?

Shaq tried to sock Barkley one time, the punch took about 3 minutes to reach Barkley who ducked and laughed and then took the Big Daddy down.

what you dont see in that Clip of Shaq and Bark is that Barkley dinks Shaq in the face with the ball before Shaq swings, I almost choked when I saw it watching the game!! That laugh fit was better than 100 crunches!
Barkley is something of a scrapper, at a nightclub in Houston he tossed a guy through a window of a nightclub for intentionally pouring a drink on him.
Too funny!

Amazing that each one of those google clips feature fights going to the ground. I take primarily a striking art, but I can totally see the relevance of learning BJJ.

I don't see how anyone can put it down.

^ True.

I don't think the athletes were showing very much humility and control. Sure there are drunken idiot fans out there, but chill out, don't you wanna keep that 50 million dollar contract?

Shuddap ya nuthugger!

lol its funny cause I'm always going on about that... but most of my training time is spent doing BJJ.

[Mr. Arieson]

Honestly, Oma, the idea of rolling on the ground with some other dude during practice is a little too much brokeback mountain for me, BUT...I really don't see much alternative. What am I going to do, wait for someone to grab my wrist or sleeve and then do a hand lock on them? Ha ha!

All these fights,(and other's I have personally seen in high school) had wild punches, and then a tackle, followed by more wild punches.

I may be able to use some Karate or Bujinkan techniques in a quick altercation where I can hit and then run like crazy. I am thinking an eye gouge or a neck chop or something, but in an actual fight like these? No way! I need to learn how to wrestle/grapple.

Having said that, I love Karate and tradional MA's for the spirituality and zen, but I need to be realistic and face facts. BJJ works, and it works great. It's either that or Judo for me next.

There you go, work with what works and understand the ground game and the clinches, because they invovle completely different skills than the free-moving duke-it-out phase. Understanding that fighting isn't kickboxing is important.

Also, looking at grappling calling it gay is pretty lame, especially when you get choked and armbarred 10 times in 3 minutes by some guy who is half your mass.
