Or, are the martial arts styles not allowed because they want fast non stop action?

I really don't know, cause I don't really follow MMA too closely. I'm more of a boxing fan myself.

it's not so much the style but certain techniques simply can not be applied in MMA because it is a "competitive combat" sport. take for example you can apply an arm-bar with out causing a break pretty easily were as in actual "combat" in the real world you would apply the technique with sufficient force to cause that break, etc. strikes to the eyes, groin, throat, etc. are hard to apply w/o even causing temp damage, etc. to that area.

That Aikido man in the video is fat too. Someone said that power lifters are also fat. If that is true then I am wondering how come they are able to lift more weights than bodybuilders? Does that mean fat can lift more weight than muscle can? I thought power lifters have undefined muscles while bodybuilders have defined muscles, no?
Please note, I am trying to be retard, it is just not making sense to me.

What's so hard to grasp?

Power lifters train for strength/power.

Body builders train to build size/volume.

It was one of those goofing around then someone took it personal moments, someone was gonna get hurt worse if I didn't snap him out of it...



Learning pressure points was very useful too, my favorite has always been between the knuckles of someones fist, then they open their hand from pain and you can guide them around like a dog with a wrist lock. Used to do this to my brother all the time when he would try to hit me....

I think it's funny in the video, on the 2nd go 'round.
The guy bear hugs him, and he asks him to switch hands
Shouldn't he be able to do it either way?

I know they both train for different goals. My question was, "do you think power lifters are fat?" If so then how come fat people are stronger than muscular people?

you so dumb gurl

Yeah, I saw him recently in AZ when he was leaching onto Sherrif Joe Arpaio. Anyone that associates with that scum (Arpaio) is a douche.

Depends by whose standard of fat you are using. But as a rule they carry quite a bit more fat. does that make them fat?...by some standards yes. Then again, by some standards, we are all fat!

But Seagal is fat...by bbing and powerlifting standards!

Power lifters aren't fat...they just have more bodyfat covering a shit-load of solid muscle. Off-season BBers don't look that different from power lifters. They both move tons of weight, the difference is the power lifters don't care about aesthetic appeal while doing so.
