You can’t be taught to kick at my level .
I can be taught to grapple at your level
Judo and wrestling are tough men contests. Let’s be honest. Anybody can do the motions so it just comes down to who’s stronger.
The reason wrestlers do so damn well in martial arts is Because they are strong-men who grapple.
And a strong man is difficult to handle in a clinch
You have the potential to learn how to grapple.
That is not the same as knowing how to grapple.
“Anybody can wrestle”
/Ngannou
Anyone can wrestle, if they are not paralyzed from the shoulders down.
That does not mean that everyone who has the potential to wrestle can wrestle well.
/Gonzo
Put everybody on the same strength level and wrestlers will not dominate anymore.
You might ask, why not just do power lifting then?
Because it’s isometric and would hurt performance in martial arts.
Wrestling is functional strength training. That’s why it’s strength that is able to shape and mold into a fighting contest
@A11 , are you channeling Johnny from this scene, by any chance?
By claiming to master the art of fighting without knowing how to fight…
I know you are very naive.
So, against my better judgement, I will continue to be a giver.
Fighting is a non-transitive mathematical game.
And, in complex domains, of which grappling and hand to hand fighting both are, there are multiple, often many paths to fitness, largely because it is not just the independent variables, but they way they interact, also really matters.
That is the answer to this question, if you were to ask it:
Pure wrestlers beat pure strikers 90/100.
Tank Abbott will tell you. He won all his street fights in Huntington Beach during the martial arts wave.
He lost once, when a dude sucker punched him with a hammer.
You’re so ridiculously wrong, it’s comical. Strength always plays a role, but judo and wrestling have tremendous nuance and technique.
Let me be more blunt. You’re a beginner who trained TKD for a few years, probably at a hobbyist level gym, and quit when someone yelled at you. You post unimpressive videos of you kicking air and think you are “elite” and can defeat experts in combat sports you know nothing about.
Honestly, everything you have said and have posted is so deeply delusional and cliché, I presumed it was an elaborate trolling attempt. I still half any second you will reveal your true identity and we will all have a good laugh.
Holy Moment returneth?
That would be funny…
Holy Moment would be awesome. Production values on the videos would have to have declined, but that guy was hilarious.
Yes strength does help all martial arts.
But strength doesn’t give you timing.
That depends on the type of strength, and the type of timing you are talking about.
The ability to hit someone who doesn’t want to be hit
That still takes at least a minimum amount of muscle strength, and also -very important for timing- a nervous system that is fit.
Weaken the myelin in the nerve sheaths and nerve cells, and the agile become clumsy, and the quick becomes slow.
Likewise, weaken the lungs and people can’t breathe, and if they can’t breathe, they get very slow indeed.
Weaken the red blood cell production, they get tired easily, and get very slow as a result.
You mean the ability you have not demonstrated at all?
Do you have a medical degree?
I am not a physician, nor a surgeon, nor licensed to practice medicine in any domicile.
Good.
Can I perform martial arts at a normal output level and still be sick?
Like say if I have kidney disfunction. Or cancer.
Will the effects of those neccesarily crop up as fatigue?
