Urgh, MMA was the worst; thing to happen to d0uchbaggery ever

My ex-instructor says that enrollment in adult karate cl@sses is way down, same with kung fu too apparently and its clear why, there are so many MMA douchebags around these days who think they're so tough because they watch MMA and take some stupid fighting cl@sses. A lot of them really annoy me because they aren't taking the traditional route of learning wholely a martial art- not only the moves but the philosophy that comes with it.

I wish they would require people to take normal martial art cl@sses before doing those damned MMA cl@sses, too many violent nutbags just wanna learn how to break someone's jaw and are not interested in learning about traditional martial arts, their history and their core values beliefs.

I can't believe they are censoring the word cl@sses

I'm not into either, but I can definitely see the problem.

holy crap i've been thinking about taking a karate class but MMA sounds way cooler!Jandurin

Why do the beliefs & core values need to come attached to the martial art? Nothing wrong with just learning how to break jaws.F1_2004

don't generalize. if you hate on MMA, you hate on a variety of martial arts. because MMA is using several martial arts in combat. there has been an influx of meatbags getting into MMA however. which sucks.

[QUOTE="comp_atkins"][QUOTE="HaloReachGOTY"]lol alittle bit of A a little bit of B....nah but i took karate long long time ago when i was smaller, im not hating. but most of the time they just teached me useless stuff that doesnt help me at all and i got sick and tired of. like those form dancing things (0i forgot the name of it) where you punch and kick the air with good form and stuff. like dude, i came here to fight. just give me a boxing glove, put on yours and lets duke it out. but nah, we must learn how to defend from a knife attack...xaos

[QUOTE="comp_atkins"][QUOTE="HaloReachGOTY"]i guess but w.e it still helped me out alot. i only went up to orange belt though. but still i managed to win every fight in school till you pick a fight with a kid who wrestles then god help you cant knock him out in the first few seconds. i got beat up and lost faith in what i was learning.HaloReachGOTY

[QUOTE="HaloReachGOTY"][QUOTE="comp_atkins"] i guess the logic question would be why did you feel the need to pick fights with people in the first place?BMD004

:lol: seriously..

But I understand what you mean TC. It's pretty annoying.

MMA is interesting. You can't compare it to certain martial arts. Many martial arts are more than just fighting, MMA is in general about self defense and fighting.

I still would prefer to learn Krav Maga over any other. Actual application to real life defense.

That's funny, because I wear Tapout and do none of this.

Stereotypes are so fun! I bet if I used racial slurs and stereotyped you guys would pretend to care and get all defensive though. Oh yeah, that's happened plenty of times before. Especially in that one thread "Where did the stereotype about blacks loving fried chicken and watermelon come from" and half of OT got all defensive over nothing.
