Why have you written a lot about MMA when I have mentioned sport-MA, which includes all manner of rule sets, and is only one of several factors I might try to use to gauge fighting ability. You seem to have an anti-MMA agenda. As for my experience I have 12+ years in MA in various arts, spending the most time in Karate and TKD. I'd say my experience is pretty broad.MJS said:So you base someones fight skill on how many, if any at all, sport type events they've fought in?? Certainly does not sound like a solid base to go off of. If this is what you go off I'd have to say that you have a very distorted view of the Martial Arts. I don't need to enter a MMA event to know how my skills are. I know many people that do not compete in the sense you're talking about, that are more than confident with their skill level.
Also, keep in mind that many of those people you're basing this off of...the MMA crowd...devote the majority if not all of their time to training. Just because someone may not have the body of Shamrock, does not mean that they are incapable of defending themselves.
Out of curiosity, what is your MA experience?
