Martial Arts

that looked like a decent style for the ground but honestly I thought the stand-up looked a bit weak. But I wouldn't know until I tried sparring with someone who pratices that style I guess.

stand-up looks weak because they don't use full force as it's just a sparring. Notice that stand-up fighting works exactly same way as it does in modern full contact Karate or Muay thay. Same guard, same boxing hand motion etc.

Also those are just random fighters, they are just blue belts (low rank).
Usually those are the guys who train no longer than 6 months.

Yeah I figured they weren't the most skilled. I wasn't trying to diss your style or anything, every style has their strengths.

no problem, I think it's a really nice style.
I just started doing it and I like it much more than any other martial art I did before. It's more complex and really good for K1/MMA.

Lol you're right...see I'm not into fighting,

Anyway. Shahin explain it I guess, it depens on the definition. If we say "A martial art is simply a style of fighting" well of course, than all of this is martial art..... I just thought of it as these movie fights - those unreal stunts that are supposed 2 look good but not really meant 2 ......be used in a fight.

Those movie stunts are called "martial arts tricks"

okok. Like I said, I'm not into it but now I know.

Have anyone been watching the Contender asia? It's like the old contender show except they are thai boxers and it's in Singapore. It's definitely worth watching for anyone who's into fighting.

they don't show it on Polish tv :/
I found it on youtube but it's been kinda boring to watch.

You think? I've been hooked on it the last 10 weeks, they don't show it in Sweden either but I get it from torrent sites.

it's probably great if you're into Muay Thai.
I mean it's quite cool but I only watched it on youtube so it kinda sucks like that.
