A. No, my logic is dictated by a high level of intelligence, combined with a high level of understanding as far as reasoning and deeper thought proccesses are concerned. Your wit is dry, and is fallacious in nature. You need to be superior to someone to look down on them with such arrogance. When you get there, I'll let ya know.
What they say is not gospel to me. I merely stated that their opinion was far superior to yours. I hold to this statement. I didn't say there weren't those out there who weren't more knowledgeable, you just don't fit into this category. Your dry wit, again, gives away your undeserved arrogance. I would consider BJ Penn a legend, also Jacare, while I might not consider the people you worked with anything special at all(of course you haven't stated who they are, but I'm merely stating the possibility).
While you are correct that it came about with the abolishment of weapons in Japan, it is not true that jiu-jitsu lost its deadly aspects, in fact, tournaments frequently ended in death, even while Judo was being developed by Kano.
I do not consider classical jiu-jitsu(traditional jiu-jitsu) to be relevant to this conversation. We are on the MMA forum, discussing MMA, no? And if you take offense to me using the term "jiu-jitsu", then you'll do yourself well to go to another forum, such as combatives. The term "jiu-jitsu" here implies brazilian jiu-jitsu.
Randy is an 8-9 jiu-jitsu practioner. I said it once, now I'm re-stating it.
B. Yea, it is accurate. He is at a low/decent level as far as boxing.
Golden gloves is far more than a skilled child, maybe you should box, and learn that of what you speak?
Ummm, while anyone could be a pro, I wasn't talking about anyone. I was talking about good club level pros. Not anyone. Intelligence would dicate that you understand the context of a conversation before formulating a repsponse.
He has consistently gotten better boxing skills in his career, and therefore held true to your idea that good handskills shouldn't stopped being learned.
Haha, you silly combatives guys. "roll around on the floor". I won't dignify that with any more of a response.
C. There shouldn't be an argument with anything I've said so far... but at least you've been able to recognise ONE OF MY POINTS, without bitchin lol.
D. I can compete with top level people for my experience level. For example, people who have wrestled for 3-4 years, I can compete with. From Iowa, to New York, I have found this to be true. No doubt, I'm not beating 10 year wrestlers, but for my yearly experience, I'm in a top percentile... maybe top 30% for my age and experience. This applies to everything else I train in. I study hard in and outa the gym(with maddd dedication), combined with some(not anything spectacular) athletic skills, and *poof* all of a sudden with my peers of the same experience level(I'm comparing myself to pure stylists) I'm in a reasonably high level of skill and competitive ability. Guess that throws your definitive statments -----"(If you were to spar with the best in 3 years at the thai gym , you'd get beaten up because he's focused on his thai growth while you've simply dabbled. The same would happen at the boxing gym, jujitsu school and wrestling gym. You might have a broader knowledge than the other fighters, but their tools would be much sharper than yours."---- out the fuckin window.
I also train at a good MMA school, so no, indeed I am learning transition.
"The minute you tried to box the best student, it would be a bad night for J-Luck. The minute you tried to wrestle the best student you'd be thrown." Wrong again. Like I said, I can't box with someone whos' been doing it for 10 years. NO ARGUMENT. But for my experience, I've been able to get in the ring and go rounds with people in over 6 different gyms in New England and 4 in the South, Mid West, and the West. And compete with them competitively(within my experience level). The same applies to wrestling, though I've never wrestled someone from the West or or South West... Only people from the South, Mid West, North East.
The above portion of response "D" covers your other b.s. points, such as:
"I know what you're trying to do and logically it makes sense, but realistically all you've done make up a better resume of teachers. Unless you study one discipline for years to get all that you can get out of it before moving on to another all your doing is studying MA buffet style. And even after mastering one style, you must start from the beginning in whatever you chose to do next. And so forth. Then and only then are you qualified to create a system that's been stripped down and tailor made to accomplish whatever goal you have in mind."
No, it does not reinforce that it has become Abu Dhabi with sloppy punches. YOU MADE THAT STATEMENT. That doesn't in any way qualify the statement.
Ummm, thaiboxing, kickboxing, boxing, brazilian jiu-jitsu, submission wrestling, Judo, karate, wrestling(all three major forms) and many, many more styles.
They are more than qualify(individually, or in any various combinations) to end a street fight.
