evolution of mma View Thread Reply Hide Rani Yahya - Thu, 29 Sep 2016 01:14:14 EST PuEqyl5k No.57536 File: 1475126054156.jpg -(40572B / 39.62KB, 1029x340) Thumbnail displayed, click image for full size. So it seems mma is evolving currently in the striking department, mainly karate point style fighting(staying on the outside, out of your reach but then covering that distance that people don't expect then out of range after the strike) and tae kwon do kicks. Fighters such as stephen thompson, michael page, sage northcut, GSP have all found success in their point style striking. Is this because it is superior or so unorthodox that fighters don't know how to deal with it? What about the tae kwon do kicks we are now seeing popularized today? >> Eddie Sanchez - Thu, 29 Sep 2016 14:02:46 EST 3iuDpjL4 No.57537 Reply >>57536there is unorthodox striking, but a lot of these guys aren't doing it. Machida came with strikes from unorthodox angles and it was very hard to find a sparring partner who could recreate his style. That's part of the reason he was so successful. GSP is similar in that he is so fast, you can't really prepare for it. As these guys get older, they slow down which makes it easier to defend.there is also the UFC bias where they want to put exciting fights on TV and they think knocks outs are most exciting. are guys adapting to that? i think that's an interesting question. in what other world does Fabricio Werdum open a round with a flying side kick? it got people talking...There are plenty of successful guys in MMA that don't fight like this though.

And he must have a lot of videos because he shows up in the results no matter what I type in, and it's all 20 minute + talking head stuff.Does he actually do kung fu, or does he just sit on the john and opinion?What do his parents think he's doing in there?

Alright, I'm making it official. Bear witness as I make this proclamation: I want to someday be the number one pound-for-pound fighter in the world. That's the goal I'm setting for myself and will work towards starting today.I know this probably sounds ridiculous, but all my life I've never once really challenged myself. I've never once set a goal and then worked at it until I had accomplished it or failed beyond all attempts. I've never even really ever wanted anything other than to not be alone before in my life. I've never had any self esteem, but sometimes I know that I'm better than I give myself credit for, and that possibly if I just believed in myself I could actually accomplish something. I'm not good with people, or at least, interacting with them sends me into a state of anxiety and almost OCD-like worry that lasts long after the interaction has ended. I feel stuck, limited by my neuroses, but this is something I know I can do. Or perhaps to put it more accurately, I know I can try to do. I have a realistic picture of how this is going to go. This is going to be a war against myself with many many battles, and I'm not going to win them all, but I swear to myself that I'm going to win the war. I swore that the moment my dad told me that if I went boxing all the black guys would beat me up and that I stood no chance against any of them. He wanted me to stay at home, like he always does. I realized then that he had failed in his responsibility as a parent to instill his child with self confidence and many of the life experiences that usually build that confidence. I determined that as an adult I was going to take that responsibility back into my own hands. It's a difficult task given what little self esteem I have to work with but I think I'm up to it. I didn't for a long time, but after seeing how delusional people are on /r9k/ and elsewhere on the chans, I realized that I've been just as delusional. I'm using this thread because I know I need peer pressure to make myself do anything. I'm going to be reporting in periodically with progress reports. Current stats:5'11.5''~140lbsCan't run a mile without having to walkCan barely do 30 pushups and a 45 second plankMy first step will be to start going for runs before work every morning and doing some light workouts on the heavy bag, mainly focusing on form in the evenings.>tl;dr>I WANNA BE THE VERY BEST!

Not OP but oddly enough I'm in a similar situation in which I'm looking to join a boxing gym in September. I work out at home so over the last few months I've been making my workouts more regular and adding in 30 mins of cardio daily. On top of that I started jogging last week and I hope to incorporate that 2-3 times per week (first jogging sesh murked my legs / lower back, but yesterday's run doesn't seem to have any lingering effects today)My main reason for joining is because I have always wanted to learn a discipline and I feel like I need that sort of structure in my life (I'd also like to beat people up and win a title belt eventually). I'm also not the best at team sports so something individualized like this is very appealing to me. I like the idea of practising a few different techniques to get comfortable with them, any good YouTube links I can check out??I'll def have to look into the daily journalGood luck and SLAYER to anyone trying to get their shit togeather >> Frank Trigg - Wed, 03 Aug 2016 02:56:47 EST ei3pqQFn No.57382 Reply >>57381Kostya Tszyuhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LknTfs6ESJc >> Hatsu Hioki - Thu, 04 Aug 2016 00:35:48 EST hTbJWZOc No.57385 Reply >>57382Don Familton's Superior Boxinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hS1VnE7YvMchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWxRHF5A3U4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMQ9Lq__DrQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-_S0V2t_aIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_2OqxXXKxY

Paralympic MMA View Thread Reply Hide Cain Velasquez - Wed, 20 Jul 2016 13:16:57 EST u2ZOGfHZ No.57367 File: 1469035017264.png -(483209B / 471.88KB, 824x410) Thumbnail displayed, click image for full size. Is this real? How many fighters are there roughly? Are there weight divisions? Are the rules any different? Do they fight mainstream fighter?I really wonder how the soccer mom types react to this. When you want MMA to be banned because of its sheer masculine brutality but you also want people with disabilities to be included in everything... how do you react to this??Source:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IocLkk3aYlk >> Gilbert Melendez - Wed, 20 Jul 2016 13:49:25 EST Evw1a9mD No.57368 Reply Judo is at the paralympics.

There was a guy with like a stump for an arm that won a title in a smaller promotion a few years ago, a guy with down syndrome that fought an amateur fight and had a news story on him and I don't know if he's actually disabled, but there's a really short guy in I think Bellator that fought in the 135lb division. >> Steve Mazzagatti - Sun, 24 Jul 2016 00:54:49 EST kHwRvuWa No.57372 Reply Is the fighter with no arms or legs going to be in this?
