If you want all the fluffy stuff then do kung fu. You would probably be better off in training in muay thai though....elbows and knees are deadly.

You have NO clue as to what youre talking about . Mantis uses as many if not MORE Elbows and knees than MT .

"Fluffy Stuff" ? IF yopu actually TRAINED with the ppl you talk so much shit about one of them might do the world a favour and shut your mouth for you .

Hahah...looks like someone has roid rage. Yea and I bet Grasshopper style or whatever the fuck its called has great knees and elbows....thats why so many fighters incorporate it into their training....ya right. Don't get mad because you have dedicated your life to a fruity art.

I have a background in various styles of Martial Arts. I appreciate all of them and take with them what I've learned and combined parts of them in realistic fights. I will not knock any of them, nor will I criticize any other form or style of fighting techniqe/discipline, because I beleive that they all contribute in some way to various forms of fighting that is conducive to differant people. The issue here is how you train and how you would utilize it in a real fight. You have to train as if it were the real thing instead of orchestrated moves etc... Train like the real thing, in order to make your heart sing. That's where it's at. Realistic training not orchestrated training.

Dude , all Mantis schools that are Legit that I know of Spar . All (legit) Chinese Martial Arts Schools Spar . The Sparing Ruleset for Chinese Martial Arts is San Shou . In my experience it includes Kicks , Punches , Throws Elbows , Knees , Shouders , Trips , Traps , Jointwork and a SMALL (no more than 60 seconds at a time) amount of time on the ground .

I wasn't saying they didn't, I believe every style can be effective if practiced properly, but you know some of those hippie dojos... Question though: Do they spar bare knuckle?

people came in with traditional styles and won matches
im not saying BJJ didnt dominate but you gotta admit those fights were intresting and proved that those styles could fight
.

UFC1
Dutch Savate expert Gerard Gordeau WON 2 MATCHES TO LOSE FINAL TO ROYCE
Patrick Smith Tae Kwon Do won 3 matches to lose in th final to royce in ufc 2
etc

im not making shit up its history and exactly what i said did happen

there have been mixed martial art tournaments for hundreds of years
there were times when the karate guys killed the jiujitsu guys
.

Not usually , but thats because most ppl have Jobs to go to in the morning , frankly , but if you get Training Partners that gont care (or if you train with a Sibling) then from time to time you go Sans Protection .
