The Resurgence of Traditional Martial Arts in Modern Mixed Martial Arts

Dan severn is still training at 66.

Severn is the balls. Really nice man, too.

Don't know about most, nor really care...it's their practice..
Feel people know how to fight, more like a matter of need and level of fighting...

We live in an age where there are many things that people are no longer aware of because it's doesn't affect them.
War for example..

Used to work with a guy who was supposed to fight Jeff Smith" light heavy in what was called "full contact" back in the day.
My Friend in the military SSG Brown, if memory serves me, trained with those in the "White Horse" 백마부대 South Korean division in Vietnam.

Pretty tuff dude, he used Tang Soo Do 당수도, mixed with hapki-do 합기도
at the time..

Jeff Smith could flat out fight. A good person, too.

Dunk? I’m not sure it’s the contest you think it is.

My man. You literally played the “my dad can beat up your dad” card. You made it weird.

You have no sense of humor. It’s weird to begin with. And besides, it’s true my dad can beat up your dad, using “ soft skills”. lol!

I feel like if people say such and such is the balls and everything else is crap, that’s kind of weird. I read it here semi frequently, I just point things that I feel are pertinent and then arbitrarily true according to my experiences. If I make some fun or say things tongue in cheek, like my granny can scrap better than that, I’m having some fun with it. BTW I am totally freaking weird, man, you know this, you don’t have to keep telling everyone, they know too.

We all have opinions, and we can all be relied upon to be pretty consistent, usually. The longer we're around, the more we end up saying the same things to each other.

For my money, my 89-year-old dad was a high school wrestler and boxed in the military. And he just had refractive lens surgery, so his vision is top notch. I'd take him over your 80 year old sigung all day long.

I have absolutely no idea if that is a good bet, but he's my dad and he's still really active, so I'll back what I know. Which, unless you can point to some external measurement, is what everyone here is doing. That's something competitive arts have over most others, at least.

I get it. Can you point me to somewhere that someone does that? I'm curious who we're talking about. Just throw a link or DM me a link to a post where someone says something along the lines of MMA is the balls and everything else is crap. I haven't been paying much attention, but it seems like that would stand out to me.

And how long have you been on MT?

Pick a style any style, including MMA, there has been a poster somewhere along the way that posted such a thing, and I am pretty sure you know it. A few years back when I took things much more seriously we have been on opposite ends of those discussions too.
