Are their any martial artist or fighters in here

[Arias]

IronFist,

What i'm trying to say is there is a difference in fighting for sport and fighting for life. When I fight, I treat my opponent as if they are trying to end my life. If you think your errogance and wonderful typing skills make you a bad-ass, you are gravely mistaken. I fight to the end, when you go black not until you tap out. Once again, I am not at the top of the food chain by any means. BTW I have trained in BJJ, Muay T, and Shotokan Karate. However, BB and AS have taken my life in a different direction. Peace out, and lay off the halo.

LOL...It's fina bro, 150mg a day...I didn't understand exactly what you were getting at but I understand now. I thought you were being an ass but I guess i was mistaken. Your mentality should be different when you fight out side a ring versus inside. Depending on the other guy, he could try to kill you. I am a little more relaxed and usually try to talk my way out of confrontations and if I have to fight, i strike quickly but under control. I understand my abilities and how strong I am and I know when to back off before seriously hurting someone. I'm not one to be cocky, but with a 500lb bench, their aren't too many people that can stand and throw punches with me. I know way to way guys who flip the hell out and try to kill people. it's not worth going to prision for...peace

yes there are many of us in here and there are a least 2 that are ufc caliber. Ive been living and breathing wrestling for a long time and been submission wrestling for 4 and your right if you have no skill size really does not matter if you are up against a seasoned grappler or mui tai figher. Ive went to parties just messing around with people and hand all of them there asses on plates with ease. Even at the steel plant where i work there is a monster there who is about 250# with 8-10% bf 19" arms basically he is the total package and we squared off to wrestle. At the time I was only about 200# and people there where all telling me I was stupid and he would crush me but he was actually really easy to take down. Hell I just toyed with him and he was trying his hardest. He was gassed in about 1 min and I barely broke a sweat. Bar fights are the best you get some drunk who send a telegraph punches with all his might and its oh so easy to destroy them Just have to watch for multiple attacks. But Im am here to tell you weight training definitely helps you just have to make sure you keep your cardio and always stretch out. I am training my brother right now for the arnold classic submisson wrestling tourney.

I have been lifting weights for 10 years but have been a Submission fighter for 5. I may not be big, lifting power and striking power are 2 different things. I got in to a fight last night at a club with this monster. This guy was atleast 235-240 at '6' with less that 6% BF. Really big. I'm 5'10' and 200 pds. He thought he could push me around. Well Strength does'nt do a thing when you have some one on the other end that has 5 years of Boxing, Thai Boxing, Brazilian Jiu Jitsi, Wrestling and Submission fighting experience. Broke his Jaw with an elbow shot. Should have been careful who he was fuckin with

TO all my iron brothers. If you think you're invulnerable, learn a few fighting skills. Pure Strenght along with lethal hand combat skills will make you twice as dangerous and confident than you are.

7 years of Kempo. Never had a problem defending myself, even with more than one opponent. Not to say that I havent had my share of asswhoopings but the scales fall my way.

[JKD]

True size and strenght aren't everything but they help. I've been training JKD and other various systems for about 5 years now. I have also trained in TKD for about 8 years. I find that strength comes in handy when fighting weeker but higher skilled oponent. I can use my strength to disolve a lock and its also a great attribute for escaping and controling. So I wouldn't discount the value of power. Sure you will have guys that are huge that can't fight there way out of a paper bag. But I would rather fight a small skinny guy than some jacked mofo.

 

[Immortal Juicer]

I've trained in Kali, JKD, and JiuJitsu for about 6 years now and competed in a few submission wrestling competitions as well as one toughhman (I won my fight

If you want to seriously compete, you have to cross train ground and stand up and stay in top shape cardio wise.

As far as on the street - trapping range, headbutts, knees, and elbows finish fights fast and efficient. I've trained with a few of Paul Vunak's instructors and Vuank has it down to a science. Enter, straight blast, trap, HKE. I train with as many different styles as I can because you cant learn too much, but when it comes down to it on the street, HKE.

Those tools seriously fuck people up fast. I would never headbutt some guy then elbow him across the face for bumping into me at a bar. I do everything I can to avoid a fight, that way, when it does come down to it, there is no holding back. If you are forced to fight, make the decision to do so then fuck them up as brutally and efficientally as you can - dont hold back 1% because they might not.

despite your little advice at the end its transparently obvious that the point of this post is to tell everyone how tough u are...its pathetic and something only someone very insecure would say. A real fighter doesn't fight in the streets or in a club..they would have nothing to prove...your no better than the idiot who picked the fight...

 

[Lord_Suston]

I train to fight, but I would rather train than fight, it is more rewarding, I find the best types of fighters are ones with more than one school of training, Personally I like the striking power of boxing and the grappling of frrestyle wrestling, but other styles are just as good for other people....
