Would you intervene like Penny did on the subway???

It doesnt seem to be helping you in this debate. Kung fu is bullshit. That is my claim. How does your bar fight experience help you right now in this discussion? It doesnt apply at all.

Spoken like someone who has never - ever - been in any kind of fight in his Dungeons and Dragons life.

If you meant your extensive viewing of fights on TV makes you an expert on which mma are effective and which aren’t….. well, that just makes you an armchair quarterback at best

Dude, I havent just watched thousands of fights (boxing, kick boxing, point karate, combat sambo, street fights), grappling tournaments, wrestling tournaments, etc., I also listen to MMA podcasts, Im on MMA forums. I gobble up knowledge constantly!

 

[braalian]

Nope. That never happened, which is why you will fail to post a quote from me that says as much. I said i have knowledge, and i do.

Ok

If your position is that your knowledge (through viewing, podcasts, books etc) of mma makes you some sort of expert on fighting, that’s still pretty ridiculous

The experts on fighting are guys who have actual experience

Do you think you could coach and train armed only with what you’ve studied? No one would hire you for such a role, no matter how many fights you’ve watched or how many books you’ve read

 

[Unkotare]

What the fuck makes you think i havent [sic] been in a fight? ...

Everything you've posted here.

That isnt a counter to my claim. How many times are you going to fail to defend kung fu before you give up?

What did i post that implies i havent been in a fight?

 

[Unkotare]

... I bet ive [sic] spent more hours training than most on this forum. ...

You would lose that bet.

I specifically said that I am not an expert, but extremely knowledgeable nonetheless.

Literally everything.

No one would hire you either, but if we both applied for the job and they had to pick one person, it would be me. I have a pretty decent understanding of both grappling and striking. Yes, I could train people on a great number of things, like fighting stance, defending submissions, acquiring submissions, sweeps, angling, feints, footwork. Meanwhile your coaching would be, "just punch em in the face".

Absolutely not.

 

[Godboy]

Absolutely not.

and youve come to this conclusion based on... what... cuz he was a bouncer once upon a time? Thats not gonna cut it. A gym is going to require knowledge from their instructors. They wouldnt hire me either, unless it was just between me and him and they had no other choice.

Ok, well, your whole internet tough-guy persona in those posts begged for mocking

And saying you know which forms of mma work and which are shit certainly makes it sound like you think of yourself an expert on the subject

No, i very specifically said right away that i wasnt a badass. YOU are the only guy in this thread who is pushing the tough-guy persona. YOU seem to think youre a badass. Hell, its possible that you are, but you arent knowledgeable when it comes to fighting, or at least certainly not as much as me.

No. I have hired several assistant coaches, and if someone came in claiming "I watched a lot of videos," I would show him the door - or the window.

Assassitant coaches for... what? Please tell me its kung fu.

 

[Unkotare]

Assassitant coaches for... what? ...

Wrestling.

 

[Godboy]

Wrestling.

Are you a wrestling HEAD coach?
