For those of you who believe traditional MA’s are useless, let me offer a different perspective. Traditional MA’s are being practiced out of context. For the ancient Chinese, Koreans or Japanese, there were bandits, corrupt governments and feudal wars... Hence, these people developed MA’s for survival... Such is not the case today. To replicate the same techniques that a small Japanese farmer used to defeat a Japanese soldier in ancient times, and think that it will save you may or may not work. Those techniques were relevant in that time and place, but do they merit today?
I say “certainly.” That’s why we have MMA’s. MMA’s is essentially the product of different effective strategies, techniques and philosophy of different MA’s. Therefore, it is what Okinawan Karate was to the Okinawans, or kung-fu to the Chinese — a means to adapt to skirmishes... Granted, we have more luxury than they did.
Now, understand the irony when streetfighters say “MMA is useless.” It is the same as when we say, “MA is useless.” Personally, I don’t buy it when people say, “he can box, but can he really fight?” If the guy can clean your clock in the ring, he’ll do the same in a real fight... I speak from first-hand experience. Some people street fight a lot, but many of their opponents are less than impressive. On the other hand, a MMArtist trains intensively, spars with other specialists and conditions his psychology to the mindset of the “fight.” All bets on the table, I’ll go with the MMA’s guy.

. I personaly dont like superman that much, hes to strong. he's either kicking your @ss or as weak as a baby under that kryptonite stuff. He also seems to have random powers, like super blowing powers to cool lava or something. Its retarted. He also seems to be able to survive in space. But why would he keep his powers in space? i thought back on his home planet everyone was just like regular humans, only when he's on earth do his powers come out......or whatever. At least that was the understanding i had about his powers. (or maybe it was just all the kryptonite on krypton...thats probably it.)
