Combat Style vs Combat Style Useless Debate
Posted by Vince | Posted in | Posted on 7:14 PM
When ever i look a video on YouTube about martial arts or fighting. I all ways see hate messages towards other martial arts. People write rude comments towards a martial arts system and yet never experienced the system for him/herself. Like this video i saw on youtube about Kalaripayattu(Indian martial arts), one person goes like this
"This is gay.What is with the guru massaging his nude students? Seems like a homosexual male porn video. Freedy Mercury was a western homosexual rock star who often travelled to Kerela to study your martial arts and to hang out with the indian gay community. hahaha. This is totally impractical and this shit would not work against a trained fighter. "

"good for tourism, cultural exchanges, for cocktail discussion as you try to impress the female art historian with the skimpy dress. Maybe also helpful in a fight against your ignorant neighbour but for use against a skilled fighter forget it. Without free sparring based on actual fighting experience in these modern times this shit will not work. Can these guys defend against a skilled muay thai fighter using viscious elbows or pounding roundhouse kicks or MMA skilled takedowns, submissions. not "
Quite Rude if you ask me, but every person has the right to say his opinion. A great trained fighter does not REJECT anything. He learns from other fighting arts to better himself. This type of people who is too judgemental are close minded ignorant fighters. those who says their fighting style are better than others are ignorant and too full of themselves. I for one practise many style of fighting, but i never judge or trash talk other styles of fighting. Why? because there is no perfect style in this world. In every fighting system, each has its own strong point that could enhance a fighters weak points. You have to combine, research and study methods of practise that works specifically for you. No style is above the other. In respect to MMA fighters, they are doing a good job combining what style work for them(individually). But now they make gyms and clubs that goes against the essences of MMA, MMA is a mix of techniques that an individual have that best suits HIMSELF only. What you teach may not be best for your students. The thinks you have may not be suitable for others. In every situation it all depends on the fighter himself. Styles only complement the fighter.
Time and Time again we keep on seeing people commenting that their styles are better than this, his style is better than that. But a true warrior adopts to what they see is applicable to his acquired knowledge and adds it to his list of skills learned for combat. Reject nothing and accept what works thus making you a true warrior class fighter.
