Okay I am not trying to bash all of you mma people I have serious respect for a mix or arts where you have to take such punishment. However is this not true,becaue mma is mostly used in a sports setting its not as dangerous as it could be?-Retraction-Bascily all I am trying to do is figure out what in the heck MMA is all about and if the practioners think of it .When I said not as dangerous I meant if it could of been 100% dangerous now cause you arent allowed to do some stuff with UFC rules it would lose like 15% effectivity thats all.
How about I reach across the internet and snap your neck, how about that shit?
Thats not a debate thats a physical impossibilitie.
at first i was going to give you a well reasoned response, but… i read your post, and now i can’t. i just can’t.
i’m… no.
ugh.
excellent response.
I’m going to start yelling that while watching MMA in public, lol. “JUST FUCKING REACH UP AND SNAP HIS NECK… UGH GODDAMN IDIOT!!” Awesome line, thanks Rajah
WTF just point out where I am wrong and show me how or some explanation.Its not like I am a MMA guy.
Here is a example a BJJ guy gets a guy down in the mounted position,the guy on the bottom reaches up and snaps the other dudes neck.
God bless the trolls.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE reach up when you’re being mounted, I like having a choice on which arm to armbar.
But Rajah would dislocate your kneecap if you tried that!
We really need a “standard responses to utterly retarded arguments” thread.
Seriously.
you are a fucking idiot.
And this:
is just as possible as this is
Punching, kicking, elbowing, kneeing, slamming, choking, locking (arms, legs, etc.) is more certainly dangerous, whether in a sporting event or in “real life”.
It’s beyond me why anyone would think otherwise.
Since idiot boy decided to edit his original post, and since other memebers of the forum should not be denied basking in his limitless stupidity, here is the original:
Thanks; an entertaining read indeed.
Okay look at the thing above my posts it says NOOB and I have now realized what i was thinking wrong about MMA so maybe thats why i put it down?Rather then getting bashed for something I didnt understand 5 minutes ago?
I had no idea how utterly close to death I have been. All this time I thought I was winning in the mount when I was really just a neck break away from… Oh, God bless you rajah, I have seen the light. Type away enlightened one, impart more wisdom upon me.:angel8:
Dude, the response you’re getting is 90% based on the fact that we have had this discussion, on this website, roughly eighteen quadrillion times. Here is what it always comes down to:
-
You can’t practice “deadly” techniques like eye gouges and throat punches and biting and nut-kicks at full speed and full-contact, because you would run out of eyes and training partners.
-
Compliant drills, the only way to train the “deadly” street techniques, are completely useless since they don’t have a resisting opponent: you have no idea whether a) the technique will actually work full speed, or b) you’d ever be able to do it to somebody who is trying to stop you.
-
Full-contact, fully-resistant training (any type of which must have some rules) not only teaches you ways to hit, choke, and slam people, it teaches you ways to hit, choke or slam people who DON’T WANT TO be hit, choked, and slammed. Since in a real fight, you’ll be fighting people who DON’T WANT TO be hit and/or choked and/or slammed, sport-training IS street training, in a way that none of the alternatives can live up to. There’s a reason Greek hoplites did Pankration, even though it had rules. There’s a reason Samurai warriors trained with wooden swords at full speed. There’s a reason medieval knights jousted with blunt lances. These things are not the SAME as combat, but they’re as close as one can safely get, while also maintaining the CRUCIAL element of resistance.
In the end: without full resistance, you’re not really learning to fight.
You’re alot more patient than I am kohadril.
Guys, I’m afraid we’re all turned around on this issue. That’s take a look at the average MMA professional fight:

What we have here is a controlled environment with a rule set, one opponent and no threat of weapons.
Let’s compare this to an actual street fight:

As you can plainly see, real combat involves dull switchblade knifes, Puerto Ricans and choreography. Thus it is evident that while Muay Thai, Judo, Sambo and other such combat sports are excellent hobbies, they are poor substitutes at best for more realistic methods of combat such as the following:
