I trained with my neighbor who was a master of Karate and Jiu Jitsu. I was able to earn my black belt in a year and a half. I have been able to successfully utilize the “crane stance” on many occasions. There is no MMA fighter who can penetrate my crane stance. You will get a ball kick right to the plexus.
Fail troll is fail.
Too much bait there my friend, any fish would think that was suss.
Karate doesn’t suck
This site makes too many generalizations. So many “tough guy wanna-be’s” who are willing to dismiss an entire martial art with one broad stroke. While Karate, by itself, may be an ineffective discipline, it can be very beneficial when combined with an effective grappling art. I have a background in Karate, Jiu Jitsu, and some wrestling. I believe that Karate has benefited me greatly, as a fighter. I may have added some boxing to it, but I still feel that much of my footwork and striking is superior due to my background in Karate.
When did we say that?
…it blows…
If only I wasn’t such a noob, I would declare a noob hunt. Well as I watch the men and women polish their guns ::giggity:: I’ll wait to see what happens next as I put on some popcorn.
To answer the thread I do totally agree with bruceleecankill, the “I’m better than you, I don’t need to explain it but I’ll find random images via google search to fuck with you” mentality is alive and well on BS.net. There are people on this site however that will actually give you a decent answer instead of saying shit like "HAHA FKIN NOOB!!!11!!!
" or “go die” and any answer in between. I haven’t done Karate myself, but to an extent I believe that any martial arts (if being taught and practiced properly) can be of practical relevance and benefit to the person taking on said Martial Arts.
Also, good work on the google search Razamataz, I still say, go fuck yourself though 
That’s the general attitude i.e. the “Karate Sucks” video.
Idiot that’s just a piss-take on Karate, grow a goddamn sense of humor. There are a lot of people on this board who have either taken karate or still take karate. Some of them can fight, some of them can’t. Some karate sucks, some is pretty good. If you lurked a little more before opening the mantool holster under your nose you wouldn’t be humiliating yourself right now.
No, of course we think Karate sucks, like we think TKD sucks, Aikido sucks, Ninjas suck, hell, I even think that we had a MMA and Bullshido sucks month.
OP: Some karate is complete or nearly so in and of itself. Ie, some people don’t need to cross-train to get grappling.
In fact, isn’t almost every martial arts insulted or poked fun at in some way or another on this site? I swear I saw a few BJJ puns a while back.
hahaha lurk more
Tell GSP, Bas Rhutten, and Chuck Lidell that Karate sucks. Even Gene Lebell had respect for other disciplines. He’s your god. If he said it, how could it be wrong?
Yeah, nearly everything gets both stepped on and held up as a shining paragon of martial excellence. Just last week we had a good-ninjutsu thread.
Some of these styles weren’t always bad. I hate the Mcdojos, and bullshidokas more than you guys do. In fact, I have a few that I will be pointing out that have particularly pissed me off. BTW “bullshidoka” is seriously the funniest thing I’ve heard in a long time.
Quoted for truth right there.
You really do need to flex that search function a little bit more. Friendly advice.
