Well, coming from MMA folks, you’d have no idea what true power is. It’s not musclebound brute strength. And yes, this CAN and HAS been done many many times. Go put on some spandex and roll around, and stay off a post that has to do with CMA if you don’t have anything relevent or interesting or even KNOWLEDGEABLE to say…not that I’d expact knowledgable from a lot like you anyway…
Actually, you self-righteous nobody, I have a black sash and spent a decent amount of time learning IMA; I come with an informed opinion and grounding in reality. Shall we compare knowledge, oh wise one?
the bomb has been dropped.
All I will say is that true strength is indeed physical, muscular strength. How would you define strength? Physically speaking, its the amount of force you can generate, or the amount of work you are capable of doing. In the combat sense, strength = power.
Power = the amount of force that can be done in the shortest amount of time. How do you generate force? By doing work. How do u generate work? By physically manipulating objects. There is no magical medium that can be manipulated to move objects over great distances. Lumineferous essence was disproved decades ago.
When people claim to use chi to “root” themselves in the ground, it’s not some magical force. It’s most likely strong legs. That, and good understanding of breathing and anatomy, plus an element of illusion and body positioning.
Agreed, you don’t have to be a musclebound, testosterone fueled weight lifting machine to be strong. But it doesn’t hurt to have some physical strength. To say power is not relevant to muscular strength is completely ignorant, and defies the laws of physics, some of which I am sure even you must agree with.
awww, did you get your speedos in a bunch over my comment?? I wasn’t saying it was mystical, or anything of that sort. I was stating that all you MMA fucks ever think about is how much you can bench, or how sweaty you can get rolling around on the floor, and you’re the most NARROWMINDED people when it comes to CMA - I don’t know why, and I honestly don’t fucking care…but I for one would TRULY appreciate it if you MMA FUCKS would stop hijacking threads with your “vast martial wit” and your “sanctamonious bullshit” that you spew everytime someone says something that you just don’t FUCKING UNDERSTAND. You guys are constantly ruining good threads…that have nothing to do with your art.
And, if this makes me a peace loving, tree hugging hippie…then so be it. I am from Oregon ya know…
You seem awfully tense. Have you considered a true internal art like BJJ?
Please feel free to flush out your expert opinion on internal power. We are all ears, shnookums.
Awww, you have such sweet pillow talk, but I’m sure it’d be better suited for your other snookums… Anyway, True power comes from all venues, mental, physical and emotional. Without one or the other, you’re only partially there. You must have some PHYSICAL strentgth, but you must also have the MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL as well, otherwise you’re fucked.
“Agreed, you don’t have to be a musclebound, testosterone fueled weight lifting machine to be strong. But it doesn’t hurt to have some physical strength.

I didn’t say that it wasn’t some physical. I said it wasn’t pure brute strength. And I agree that you must have some sort of physical ability, but that’s not only where it comes from. You’d HAVE to agree with that.
I like how you worked in the gay comment; your humor is truly cutting edge. Please detail how your mental and emotional power is brought to your fighting game. Specifically, please detail how it translates into physical force.
Ehh, i didn’t really mean it as a “gay” comment…so i edited it for that reason. I felt it was a bit over the top, so, i changed it up a bit!!! But - since you are kinda hot, I’m sure you’d look MUCH better in a kung fu uniform than sweat and speedos…nevermind on the rest of my comment
Honestly, if you don’t have a mental and emotional game, you’re not going to do much with the physical. You can bench 6000 lbs, and have one of the strongest punches in the world, but if you have someone that’s mentally and emotionally better at their game, you’re not going to win, unless you get really lucky. You have to be in the right frame of mind, have the attitude that you plan on using, and have the emotional centerpoint for everything to come together.
Take Don “the Dragon” Wilson…whom does CMA btw. He retired for 10 years, came back after those 10 years to skool the World Champ of Kickboxing, and kicked his ass. Was this just because he was better physically fit?? Or was this because of all the 3 components that i previously stated? Being retired for 10 years and being a LOT older than the Champ, can you really say, that it was because of just the PHYSICAL side of it?? I don’t think so…
WennyVW hates MMA, why?

WennyVW why so angry at MMA?

WennyVW, I would like to officially and formally invite you to attend the upcoming UltraMegaThrowdown in Atlanta, on Memorial Day weekend. Perhaps we can all best compare notes in a live setting?
As long as your spandex is bunched up she won’t come. I find that strange since I have never worn spandex. Is there something you are hiding Locu5?
Only the bodies of all of the midget clowns from that night in Boston…
I never once stated that i HATED MMA. Just for the record, I love MMA and my oldest son is interested in MMA, and we’ve been discussing him going into it. If I hated MMA - it wouldn’t even be up for discussion, nor would I have checked out Straightblast Gym for him. What i stated is that I HATE how the MMAists always have to hijack a thread about CMA and turn it into a mudslinging contest about “who’s balls are bigger” etc etc. What it essentially comes down to with both styles is 1 is for cagefighting, 1 is for self defense…end of story, end of file…game over.
So is that a no? We have a couple girls who would love another girl sparring partner.
Is what a no??
When you were a child did your parents forget to feed you logic?

DID SHE REALLY JUST FUCKING TYPE THAT?
I really need to take up Kung Fu so I can defend myself.
With you so far…
Again, with you…I tend to avoid the style specific forums unless I think I can add something pertinent.
This leads us on to…
Total and complete fucking bollocks and an issue that has been debated and buried amongst ANY right minded individual.
Shame you blew it with that last line - you were doing well until then
Like that emotional and mental giant Mike Tyson?
He did ok for a while
