I don't like your martial arts style...

[blindsage]

If you train in BJJ, I don't like your style. Too much Portuguesey words (what's up with all the Gracies having R names but pronouncing them like H's?), and all that rolling around on the ground with other dudes upsets my homophobia (I mean it's call the 'mount' fuhtheluvagod!)

 

[Xue Sheng]

Well, I think it's very open minded of you not to like anything, I know some people are very narrow minded and only don't like 1 or 2 arts.

Kind of like Dirty Harry.. .he wasn’t prejudice because he hated everybody

 

[kungfu penguin]

dont forget who-flung-dung by master potty toss an ultimate style used by the chimps at the zoo!

 

[Rich Parsons]

...unless it's Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Recently, there has been a resurgence in threads like this, so I thought I'd just cut to the chase and just call everyone out and save myself some time (and maybe you all some time, too).

So, if you train in TKD, I don't like your style. It's too Olympicky, with the jumping and the arms down thing. I don't like it.

Wing Chun? I don't like your style. Patty cake chi sao, cat fighting looking and too centerliney. And that goes for Ving Tsun, Ving Chun, Wing Tsun, Wing Man and Tsun Set. I don't care which lineage you come from or how you spell it.

Aikido? I don't like your style. It's not violent enough.

Karate? Regardless of which style, I don't like it and I'm not going to tell you why. You'll have to guess.

Internal MA? If I can't see it, I don't like it, and I can't see your chi. I don't like your style.

Taijutsu? I don't like your style. When I watched that show in the 80s, The Master, it had a terrible script. And ninjas are bad guys. Why do you guys want to be assassins anyway? I don't like your style.

And just to save a little time, everyone else? I don't like your styles, either. I may not really know much about them at all, but that doesn't make my opinion any less valid. So suck it! Hell, I don't even like MMA, but Vale Tudo is okay, I guess.

*SNIFF*

My Feelings are hurt.

SteveBJJ does not like what I train in. *SNIFF*

I guess I need to re-evaluate my life and training.

I guess I will have to go back to no style I used before I began to train.

*SNIFF*

 

[Steve]

Well, I think it's very open minded of you not to like anything, I know some people are very narrow minded and only don't like 1 or 2 arts.

I'm nothing if not fair-minded and interested in equity.

Oh, Rich. I almost mentioned Arnis, but dislike it so much I couldn't bring myself to type the word.

 

[Flying Crane]

He's an Equal Opportunity Hater.

 

[crushing]

Well, now we know that the moderate position in MA is that BJJ = Good and Everything else = Not so good.


:angel:

 

[Flying Crane]

...unless it's Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

well, except for all those lousy spin-of splinter groups like the Machados and their ilk. They just split because they sucked and couldn't hack it.

Ha ha ha....I don't like any of those styles either. Why? Because I am to old to be good at any of them so there.:rofl:

 

[CoryKS]

I like your style just fine, I don't like your opinion.

I mean, isn't that what this really is? Dude started a thread to say that he didn't like MMA and gave the reasons why. He didn't say MMA sucks, or that MMA practitioners suck. He just expressed a preference for strictly stand-up fighting. Now maybe he could have left it at that and not included the contrast with styles that include ground fighting, but what kind of thread would that be?

- Hi, I'm ____ and I like watching full-contact karate.

- Me too.

- Me too.

- Yes, I very much like it when people stand up and kick each other in the head.

- Yup, that's great.

- What about if he falls down?

- Dude, that's MMA. We're not talking about MMA in here. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

 

[Josh Oakley]

What about if you like all the styles, systems, sciences?

But then you have to like REX KWAN DO.

I actually have met a kid with a year of overall training at 17 who claimed to be the grandmaster of the FOX style.

Must I like that too?

 

[Steve]

Well, now we know that the moderate position in MA is that BJJ = Good and Everything else = Not so good.


:angel:

I looked at both sides and made a decision.

CoryKS, being serious for a second, I personally have no problem with anyone's style or opinion. I'm just a little tired of the "I don't like [insert style]" threads, particularly where the opinions are clearly grounded in misconceptions. As others have said, it's ground that has been covered to death.

And another thing, where you're concerned, I like neither your style nor your opinion, but I have to admit that your avatar is pretty cool.

 

[Stac3y]

"Um...I heard jujitsu is good for your balance?"

"NO, jujitsu SUCKS."

B... but you're a ground fighter!

 

[Steve]

B... but you're a ground fighter!

Yeah, but that's not grounds for any kind of complaint.

 

[Carol]

I just eat pizza and talk on the internet.

 

[TheWellWisher]

Infact although I respect all martial arts, Tai Chi sucks.

 

[K831]

Simple argument to end... I will fight anyone of this forum, to the death, to prove that Kenpo is the best style. Not only that, I will prove the my kenpo lineage is the best...

 

[TigerCraneGuy]

Well it can't be the best because mine is...

Uh, what lineage are we talking about again?
