No mate. I used to do Karate, but if I tried to do a roundhouse now, id put my back out and end up in a heap on the floor

Could still do some damage with a Hiza Geri if need be

Love boxing and MMA. Havn't been watching MMA as much recently since UFC moved to ESPN and Strikeforce doesn't have a TV contract for the Uk.

I do like to watch it but get very bored once they go to the mat and just hold each other. Prefer to see the strikers go at it toe to toe when they do it is far better than boxing.

Can we have a new forum section for gibberish?

I watched it once and it was very homoerotic. Very well built men holding themselves in very sexual positions.

I found it very uncomfortable to watch.

All they needed was baby oil to complete the experience.

That'll be the greco Roman wrestling in the Olympics then.

I dont watch it but one of the lads thet used to hang about with us is a MMA fighter (Stuart Jess) and one of the lads in my college has his first MMa fight in a few weeks - so a load of us are going to watch it.
TBH I like the fighting element - but just dont get the 'holding' as mentioned above it's a bit dull.

see im a big fan of the ground fighting, more so than the stand up,

Why? What am I missing - is it about strength or just timing? Just don't seem to get it

I used to watch it all the time before it moved to sky. Had some good british fighters coming through at that time as well, Dan hardy,Mike? bisping.

I think on the mat wrestling is more technical and has many more moves and counter moves to learn meaning its harder to learn. Still love to see a good knockout though

Love it , dont get to see it now as finances dictate i wont have the extra chanels ie sky sports, espn etc.. did kickboxing for years & loved it , guys i trained with are big into jujitsu now , thay are nuts into altogether, my bro is 3rd dan in the kickboxing & well up in the JJ, not sure of grading, i was one off my black when i stopped training, got disalousioned as it was all technique & kata , preferred the sparring , big GSP fan also loved the Forrest G fights , Dan Hardy is a hardy by name & nature , bisbing is good but crikey he can talk some rubbish tho ..

Its good if both go to work , ground can be boring , mind you i supose stand up can be too if they dont get it on , my backround was kickboxing so im bound to biast twords that i supose ,

 

[PhilTheFragger]

So it doesnt include female mud wrestling then

i agree ground can be boring, when you get an outsiding wrestler vs a guy who doesnt wrestle as well so is just pinned to the mat

i much rather 2 BJJ guys go at it, the technical side the subtle moves counters sweeps transitions, its an art imo and nothing better than forcing a guy to tap with your shin!!

i train BJJ every now and again, participated in a comp once won my first lost my second loved it tho!
