Mixed Martial Arts

Yea i agree. The capoeria fail was good even though i love capoeria (not as a self defense method though) its just looks like fun coming from a bboy. But yea Tony Jaa movies are great although his last one wasn't that good. he actually did an arm bar in his new one but other than that the movie wasn't good. he didn't have as cool stunts as he did in the first Ogg bak or the protector.

[oChaos]

Awww, yeah I haven't seen the newer one, but the capoeria dude in the protector was really goo, lol.

[redraptor06]

[oChaos]

I've taken Taekwondo since I was 10 years. I only reached Brown Belt High. I shifted to Aikido and now in blackbelt. i also learned ARNIS. I'm currently doing Kick Boxing. I once was harrassed by gangsters here in the Philippines and I was able to use all the skillsi learned. imanaged to survivedeath due to presence of mind and my martial arts. Women should enroll too.You'll never know.

[oChaos]

Pretty nice man, what is ARNIS and yeah women should definitely learn martial arts my school actually has a program that is mainly for women to defend themselves from attackers.

ARNIS is the same as eskrima and kali ... Filipino stickfighting ... but I do Zulu stickfighting ... I also train MMA ... I got a boxing and wrestling background ... I got an amateur record of 8 -0-1, 1 NC ...

Not bad, my school has a type of stick fighting with padded sticks idk if the techniques are based off something else or if it's just Taekwondo.

Yeah the long legs are pretty good for the ground game, but I love to be a striker and I'm 6'3 and kicking at the head is an easy knock out, if you land it enough.

What weight class are you in ... or just weight ...

Your right about the old renowned fighters......although i still think that Randy could have a few more fights in him that he could win. But yea you can see how mma is evolving by a lot of the old fighters. Royce Gracie almost got beat by submission from Matt Huges and Ken Shamrock is getting beat by no names now.

One thing i really wanna see is Fedor come into the UFC. Oh yea my dream heavyweight fight would be Brock Lesner vs. Kimbo Slice (Brock will kill him but it'll still be fun).

So whats everyone elses dream match ups???

I'd agree, Randy's still got some life left in him; it also helps that he's quite a skilled fighter. During that Lesnar fight, I think ultimately Brock just ended up overpowering him; Couture still looked more composed and experienced.
Fedor is a machine, but Arlovski looked like he could've won their last fight; except that he had that discouraging defeat a week or so ago...
And Kimbo Slice is a silly man. I think he's got a shot at getting a contract after going through TUF but....ah, I dunno. I'm not a fan of Lesnar. lol

Hmmm...dream match ups?
Someone to man-handle GSP. lol

You apparently didn't see Penn v GSP I

No, college boys aren't the only one's who like MMA. ;p
I used to do a bit of TKD when I was a child, but left that field of interest up until recently. I have respect for each style of fighting, but ultimately one should be confident & knowledgeable of all techniques; at least the basics.
I prefer ground game myself since I've got long legs (good for full guard & getting triangles/other submissions) but I'm not hesitant to get up and do some striking.

I like to watch & pay attention to WEC, Affliction & UFC and if anyone's watched the progression of fighting over the years, it's interesting to see the once renowned fighters of the past now don't stand much of a chance in the octagon (besides the fact that some are far over their prime *cough* Couture and Liddell) ^^
