mma is a made up martial art.

[Transk53]

No Steve its BS like this that will get the thread locked

I actually agree with you on this. Perhaps a first for me. Sorry.

@Steve
It actually does. Mma is a sport. You can train in multiple arts and blend them together but Mma remains a sport.


I wanted to move this out of the WC thread since it has nothing to do with WC.

So Sat I used a reverse punch from Goju a wrist lock of Aikido, and an Arm bar from Judo on a suspect. So because I was on the street its not MMA but had I done the same thing in front of a ref it is MMA?

 

[Steve]

Ballen, I would say it's not MMA, because mma is a sport.

Ok

 

[Transk53]

Ballen, I would say it's not MMA, because mma is a sport.

How do you define that then?

 

[Steve]

sport... With a unified rule set. boxing is a sport. Must Thai is a sport, too. San shou, mma. These are all sports. I'm not using the term in any particular manner.

 

[drop bear]

Lol you brought him up saying you do MMA for the street as he does and now you think he's rubbish, oh dear.

i have absolutely no idea whether being pants is a good thing or a bad thing.

It's bad I had to ask also

 

[drop bear]

Dude. If you know of the door, then you are just being silly. You do know of the door, do you not?

damn. You have caught me out. I do not know the secret that is pants.

 

[RTKDCMB]

I'm betting that if I said Geoff was pants you'd have fawning been all over him like a tramp on chips. ROFLMAO

What if he was a pair of boxer shorts?

Nope. That's not MMA, brother. That's just what we sometimes have do. Nice job, bro! (stay safe, man)

 

[Buka]

Ever get in a discussion with someone who doesn't do, understand or like martial arts? It can be an exercise in patience because we know they have no idea about our world. And we know they ain't ever going to experience it. Not for love nor money.

And then there's folks like us. We should probably chill a bit. I mean, heck, I go to the dojo, you go to the dojo, sometimes we feel like demi-Gods and sometimes we wonder why the hell we bother. And more often than not - something hurts, or doesn't feel right afterwards, but we don't care (damn fools, all of us) because we just keep going. I don't think we have any choice in the matter. Because you know you're hooked. (Oh, yes you are. Oh yes)

We should maybe take a deep breath and relax when we deal with each other.
Just a thought.

The thing is the more I think about it. All those things I used are found in all three of the styles I've trained. The arm bar is the same I learned in Goju the same I learned in aikido and in judo. The wrist lock I've practiced it in all 3 as well and even the punch. So I'm not really sure where to "credit" the technique actually so ot looks like over the years it's all mashed up and mixed up anyway.

And thanks that dude was a real peach. Says he's going to follow me home and murder my wife and kids. Little does he know my wife's gun is bigger then mine

Like sex MMA is something the younger generations cannot imagine they haven't invented, that the older generations were doing it long before the young ones were even twinkles in their father's eyes.

 

[drop bear]

Jeez Louise, reading that rubbish actually induced an adrenaline rush. I don't know MA, I have tried many, that I readily admit. However, I am not going to let another be insulted, for where Geoff has got, only another doorman, or in you're case a doorwomen, would readily recognise. Thought drop bear was the same, obviously I was wrong. Shame, l'm usually pretty quick.

lol. I have insulted plenty of doormen. Its a job. Not some sort of cult.

Have you insulted security officers and policemen as well? In jobs like these, here at least, we try to watch each others backs. We might not always manage it but we do try to get on with those in the same line of work because in the end you may just need one or the other to help get you out of a situation. When the policeman was killed in Liverpool this week it was the doormen who tried to save him, sadly though I think he was dead already from the blows to the head but they tried.

have you ever met an Australian?

if Geoff Thompson was getting bashed i would help the guy out. Doesn't mean I have to like his videos. Which are over priced for what you get.

i agree with his method but i get it cheaper and better.

if i wigged out at my door every time someone called me a nasty name. There would be no point me being there.

just for every one. The job is not all glamour and no heavy lifting.

in front of a ref it would be mma. On the street it would be rbsd. Except you actually fought someone.

You don't get it do you? At all.

nope. All sounds a little self entitled.
