Unfortunately it's a private tracker and registration is closed. The only way in is to find someone with an invite and they're kinda scarce.
 
gotcha
 
I didn't know you were so much of an MMA fan there Burner. I mean I've seen you in a few MMA threads ... but not so much.
 
I'm not that into it. I am going to go into kickboxing...mainly for cardio...but also think that it's the most practical of 'arts' for today.
MMA is great in a ring...but from all I've witnessed as a bouncer...you do NOT want to go to the ground and grapple and try to submit in that atmosphere.
Trying to explain it to a friend:
let's say you and I are going at it...you take me down and we are on the ground and u are going for some submission/pain hold. My friend(s) seeing that I am losing...will come over and say kick you in the head..'cause you aer wrapped up and cannot defend against another opponent.
Now..I also know a little..and I stress a LITTLE vee arnis jitsu. Its putting someone on the ground and disabling them and moving on.
arm bars, breaks, chokes....etc but not ground combat.

I'm 36...no longer working at the bar...and never start crap w/ anybody...so I seriously doubt I will ever be in another fight...which is just fine. However, I like the idea of being able to redirect their attack and submit or have fairly fast, powerful strikes in my arsenel.

That's the first time I've seen someone articulate why MMA is not good in a bar fight in a reasonable and plausible way. You're not accdurate, but you were still good at conveying your point. What you didn't do though was cover that only a fool is going to go to the ground in a place where he isn't sure of his surroundings.

MMA isn' t exclusively a ground based sport. It's all forms of fighting mixed into one. What kills the theory that MMA isn't useful in a fight is that MMA is the practical application of all forms of hand to hand combat after they have all been worked into a set of practiced skill sets so that the MMA fighter can transition from one style to another as the situation requires.

If you're out in the parking lot and some fat fool plows you into the asphalt you can reverse and choke the chump out in seconds IF you're an MMA fighter. A pure boxer or kick boxer would be limited to what ever strikes he could get in or physical prowess he could muster. If you're in the bar and that same fat fool tries to plow you down after he wakes up from his first nap you can sprawl out, toss in a muay-thai clinch ... then knee him back to sleep. A wrestler would be limited from a lack of striking skills. That's where MMA brings it all together ...

If you plan to study some kind of fighting style look for a place to study that can give you an MMA approach and you'll see the way it changes your mindset about the sport. Don't look at the bar fights as an example of MMA fighters in action ... :)
 
very true-
sorry...usually...when u hear mma...people jump on the 'ju jitsu is the greatest!' band wagon.
I would definately like to know more holds, come-alongs and such...I was able to take an Aikido lesson w/a friend whose instructor is internationally ranked. Good stuff..but THAT takes a while to master.
I liked the fast/brutalness of the Vee Arnis. (same basic: stop the attack, use their momentum against them, counter and put out of commission)

Lol ... and see how that BJJ style does now in MMA. BJJ only fighters often get owned ... but BJJ fighters that also know muay-thai or another strong stand-up style are the hardest to beat.

Good luck on the Vee Arnis. It's a great style developed from practical needs that cover both ground and standing techniques. Good stuff.

Hey BC!
Haven't bene doing it...can't afford both. THe kick boxing is 85.00 per month...on top of my 30.00/month gym membership...so will be sticking w/ that.
Just saw an interesting show on Discovery Channel on Friday night:
Upcoming Episodes - The History Channel series Human Weapon

that episode was on Eskrima. Was pretty wicked.
I do agree w/ you...a good striking style w/ the ability to grapple is superior.
I'ev been kinda kicking around the idea of going back to the club after the summer...if I do...the kick boxing won't be practical...as I don't fight people...I remove them...so having some good come-alongs and holds will work best...
 
Tap Out! Tap Out!!!!!

heh...found this....kinda funny...now gonna stop whoring in danny's journal...
