Yep he responded by asking what my experience is. I had no issue answering it because I'm not pretending I'm anything I'm not let's see now if he returns the favour and answers it (I very much doubt it)
Why until recently effective TMA practitioners were not represented in MMA?
- Thread starter Bullsherdog
- Start date
Then you don't get it. See, there are folks who use traditional Karate to train for sport. So, which are they?

Over a decade of practicing a traditional karate style derived originally from Shotokan karate. Have never formally taught any art.
I made a deliberate effort to focus on traditional karate as opposed to going all over the place like you. Have done some limited cross training though. Boxing, to me is a waste of time and contrary to developing one's kempo.
How's that?
So, you've never trained in Kempo, nor boxing, yet you're certain they can't be complementary.

Oh so you do a style so secret you can't even give it a name...sure
See this is exactly what everyone's saying. You're disrespectful and arrogant towards other people. Putting down what other people do and bigging up yourself. So have you ever done boxing or kenpo? If not you have no right to say anything about either style. Fact is Bruce Lee one of the top martial artists ever was a big fan of boxing and used it in his own style because he saw the use for it. But I guess you kmow more than Bruce Lee right

No GPS, you don't get it. Over the Internet, really?
How does what I said exclude a sport practitioner from going to any TMA school to train? What you left out is how they train. Your'e big on actual resisting exercises. TMA schools generally in my area have a sliding scale on that, though the normal is light to no contact in sparring. Plus we always encounter those individuals who take it farther on their own volition. It does happen.
You have a constant theme of your improvements which you feel benefit you. We have this thinking in my own dojo, but as a rule most follow the traditional curriculum as laid out by the org.
EDIT: Try speaking to what I commented, "differences" in training principle. Not slanting off to who trains where, a favorite tactic of your's to take the conversation to where you want it to go yet pretend to reply.

"Sure," that's cutsey.
Have you visited your own profile page? It's blocked!!!!!!!~!~"everyone." Everyone who has opinion challenged like you. Oh ,the headaches you must have. "Bigging." Talking to a high school wrestling class again. The coach in my high school talked just like you. Won many championships too. Wrestling ain't the world though. Left that out.
You're not disrespectful and arrogant. No, not at all with this jive.

Yes it is? So what I've told you the names of every single I've trained you can't even say one styles name?Sure, that's cutsey.

I can't say much to the rest of your post because frankly like most of what you post it's hard to understand a word you're saying....you've used 2 words in one post aren't even real words so good job on that

It's the end of the world! We can always talk using Shotokan as a centerpiece. That's if that doesn't aggravate those headaches you're having. Awful.
Right, could be all those arts you've taken, you never really understood what you were supposed to be learning. I see it all the time in traditional karate. And karate isn't alone.
Bottom line, you haven't really anything to say about traditional karate as represented by the most popular and widely practiced karate across the world, and the source of many additional karate styles, and modern kickboxing too.
You did a word test, instead?
So with all your extensive, long-lived experience & teaching, karate tradition is just a headache.
Check out what Ramsey Dewey says about Krav Maga! It's a funner.

I'm really not sure what any of that has to do with the previous sequence of posts. You're all over the place.No GPS, you don't get it. Over the Internet, really?

Yes, you are unsure. It's a constant you display, like that other poster with all the headaches.
Don't want to miss, "all over the place." I said: difference in method, you reply: Sports players train in MMA.
The bill you try to pin on me, pins right to yourself.

Yet again you dont answer the question you just spout out a bunch of nonsense.It's the end of the world. We can always talk using Shotokan. That's if that doesn't aggravate those headaches you're having. Awful.

I don't know anything traditional karate I've never claimed to you know why? I don't do traditional karate, I don't care about traditional karate, I'm not interested in traditional karate, I have no opinion of it either way.
Why the hell would I care what some random guy I've never heard of has to say about Krav Maga?
Frankly the way you respond to simple questions tells me all I need to know about you

Please can you look at the last thing this guy posted to me and let me know if you can make any sense of it

Tell you what I'm done here. I can't even call this a conversation I say one thing then Mr noob starts talking about something totally different. If I wanted to listen to aimless rambling I'll go talk to my 5 year old granddaughter

Which is it now. Headaches or nonsense. How about lazy. How about unwilling to look at material I posted.
Ok.
Fair enough. But your'e missing out!
Frankly Mr. Laundry List of Martial Arts, your answer fits yourself. You spout labels like an addressing machine. No, no, and more no's define your contribution.

Better a laundry list of martial arts than not even being able to name one martial art that I train funny you can't even give a name for your style hmm I wonder why. Wonder what you'll change the subject to next to avoid the question
