Go to a boxing, kickboxing gym. Go to a brazilian jiu jitsu, or judo class. Originally Posted by Caff_Racer

None of us are like that, trust me. Most people who train in martial arts are very humble.
Once you train you would be able to see what is skilled in a ring or cage fight. My point is that you would be able to understand it and enjoy it.

I think UFC is a bad promotion of the sport of mixed martial arts. MMA

JINNOGO: I have no intention of "training" as you put it: I'm almost 40! It would be the best way of croaking from a heart attack! Plus the fact that my body has taken enough battering from almost 19 years of motorcycling (and I'm not referring to poncing around on "Hardley Ablesons") and that I have no desire to be punched in the head by some wannabe Mike Tyson...

Sorry, but mixed martial arts is SO GAY! Once they take it to the ground, they look like they are fucking each other. Even the language of the announcers is TOTALLY GAY! It's hilarious, like "He's mounted him!!!"
I remember reading a Salon or Slate article about the sport trying to say that it wasn't as brutal as it looked and even they said that the ground game looks like two men having sex.
Also while it has some entertainment value, I just can't get over the sloppiness of the standup game. Compared to boxing, they just look so sloppy and slow. I realize this has something to do with defending against the takedown while striking, but dag, it's certainly nothing like the "sweet science" of boxing. Even the kicking game looks lame compared to kick boxing and other Asian martial arts.
I always wonder if Bruce Lee were alive and in his prime would he be able to kick all these guys' asses simply on the strike game?

No the sloppy stand up if from ground fighters trying to stand up. Originally Posted by EdelweissFan

People who comment on ground fighting looking gay just dont understand whats going on. For example you see two guy rolling around on the ground, but I see over a 2 dozen close calls of finish moves.
Like are not 90 percent of fights go to the ground. If you dont like the ground part, then you just dont like fighting.
Bruce Lee is more mythologic then legend, due to all of the exploitation from hollywood. Sad but true

People who say grappling is gay have issues with there own sexuality, let a Jiu Jitsu or Judo guy get you on the ground and you will find out how gay it is when you are taking you last breath..
