Most Under-rated Martial Art - Page 7

Pro Wrestling is entertainment, with story lines but I think most people know not to Fook with a pro wrestler in the street.

Fear the iron claw and the bionic elbow, LOL.

You'd think that, but it's surprising how many people have to be set straight (at least with the people I run into). I'll freely admit I used to have a low opinion of pro-wrestlers, and used to think Jackie Chan would own them. Now I have to laugh at myself for thinking that, but I do think a match between Rob Van Damme and Jackie Chan would actually be quite entertaining to watch.

I trained for 6 months at Steve Kern's "School of Hard Knocks" here in Florida.

For those of you who don't remember he was the original Doink the Clown.

I will say that pro wrassler's are definitely in some kick-ass shape but as far as martial arts skills go, unless they took an art before they took up wrasslin' then they are pretty much brawler's and acrobats.

What they do day in and day out is pretty impressive as far as entertainment goes but for technical skills that would work in a fight I gotta say there is not much there. Unless like I mentioned above they have previous training in a real art.

Slamming works pretty well in a fight.

Agreed. Nowadays most BJJ guys give wrestling its due. The remaining naysayers are just the Larper/dojo zombie crowd.

Hmm, about the Judo Chop thing.

I decided to do a little research...and the only real useful info i got was this...

YouTube - 1 Hit Judo Chop

Pretty neat.

I remember watching the Austin Powers movies... "Judo Chop!"

Sadly the "real" judo chop has been reduced to the ridiculous. It's the object of laughter and pseudo systems alike.

It's big time funny until someone gets a crushed trachea or broken clavicle.

Arteries and veins can be hemmoraged with violent atemi... Fun fun fun...

It was one of Austin Powers signature moves bro. Yeah Baby Judo Chop!

Tai Chi actually has a movement in it very similar to the Judo chop Tant. Maybe thats where all the laughter started

In other words, you "under rate it" - LOL!

I'd say boxing, wrestling and judo.

Those wrestling guys are a real handful and show you the diff between a wrestling and bjj approach. ie. speed and power vs precision and patience.

Wrestling is older than dirt
