And yes before anyone says it, I am grumpy because I'm really fed up with the way people post then make comments about other people and their styles. It's happening more and more and it's impolite to say the least not to mention bloody boring. Just why add snide remarks about any style, it's not on.
So - on a thread bashing a legitimate style..
It says that people these days often seem limited in their understanding of MA. And yes - I casually threw a joke in there attributing this to the popularity of the ufc among the young.
Style bashing is not allowed here. It's one of MT's rules.
A joke? Yep, people always say that after they've been called out after making a remark like yours. You actually said MMA people not 'people' and I'm not your mate.
Lots of people think if it doesn't look like mma it's not martial arts. Kids and the ufc i guess
Do you have some problem with me? FWIW, I'm Australian, we often use 'mate' in an informal manner. Not sure why you're being hostile over something you've completely imagined, but fine, consider us "not mates."
Really? and you are telling me that you aren't getting at MMA people? who else would you have meant It's not my reading comprehension that's at fault at all. And the 'kids and UFC' remark? It was a dig at MMA people, and the whole thread is style bashing, you even said so
You're Australian.... and? I don't have a problem with you in particular and I'm not hostile, as I said I'm fed up with this thing where people feel they have to post up other people's martial arts and laugh at them. I'm not the only one either, I just say it.
The thread will be locked soon anyway.
"...mano-e-mano-speedo-cage-fighto."This.

Yagyu Shingan ryu is an armoured battlefield system, focused on grappling, but includes many weapons.
These are movements designed to dislodge an armoured samurai, who is gripping your armour.
Many training techniques in koryu are 'hidden in plain sight' like this - they also have a throw wherein the uke does a (seemingly supported) backflip. The application is actually to dump uke straight on the top of his head. In order to keep training partners.. well.. alive, they don't. Looks weird, but is just training for something other than mano-e-mano-speedo-cage-fighto.
That line says nothing critical of mma, which I love. It says that people these days often seem limited in their understanding of MA. And yes - I casually threw a joke in there attributing this to the popularity of the ufc among the young.
the 'kids and the ufc' remark.. as I explained.. was me making a quip that perhaps what I described can be attributed to the popularity of the ufc among kids.
Telling me "I'm not your mate" is hostile.
They are my big boy speedos.
Good stuff Tez. Way to completely ignore every single thing I've written.
MMA fighters who fight in the UFC are not UFC fighters?
Christ, this forum seems to be populated with illiterate clowns. All the best though, mate.
Again you don't seem to understand that what's in your head and what you write down don't agree. There is a common thing these days among the fanboys to call all MMA 'UFC' as in 'der I fight UFC you know', well no, you don't. Calling all MMA UFC is what fanboys do
AND AGAIN - as I said - IF you're "fed up with this thing where people feel they have to post up other people's martial arts and laugh at them" - why have none of your comments on this thread been directed at those who did what you are "fed up with" - instead having a go at me, when I was expressing the exact same sentiment you are???? It's so strange I'd almost just assume you're trolling, if you weren't a long term member here.
I'm talking about your statement: "Lots of people think if it doesn't look like mma it's not martial arts. Kids and the ufc i guess." comes off as you are calling those who misinterpret what is really a martial art kids and the ufc. Ok you have explained you meant it as a joke. I can accept your explanation, can you see that your wording came off differently?What are you even talking about?
A continuation of the the above.What is disparaging? ufc fighters fight one-on-one (mano-e-mano) and often wear speedo type shorts. They fight(o) in a cage(o). If you think there's something wrong with that, that's on you.
This is well communicated.I think high level mma fighters are some of the most impressive, well rounded athletes on the planet.

You think that statement comes off as if I'm calling someone kids and the ufc? Calling people 'the ufc'?
I'll ask again - what are you even talking about?
Opps… I actually wrote more than that. Was on my phone, not certain why all of it wasn’t posted. ???You think that statement comes off as if I'm calling someone kids and the ufc? Calling people 'the ufc'?
