xdarthveganx Posted June 24, 2006 Author Share Posted June 24, 2006 aaahhhhhh.... so that would be matt hughes on the bottom huh. yes. I have a serious hate for matt hughes always have. I just think hes a cocky annoying redneck. Not to mention one of the least technical fighters I have ever seen. He relies only on strength to win fights.

ronnie kray Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 well your not alone on that one. i know a few other ppl on this board would like to see George St. Pierre beat Hughes this coming september. and i know Hughes has stated he wants a rematch with BJ Penn, and i'm sure he'll get it. but he has to go thru GSP first.

I was just about at blue belt level when I had to stop for financial reasons. I was 60 pounds lighter and much more flexible then. Bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulIndeed Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I really want to get into some kind of martial art. It seems that BJJ is one of the most popular ones. Would this be good for someone who has had literally no experience in any martial arts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I would get a buddy and atleast practice some techniques and positions before going to your first class. If u need a good site for vids of techniques and positions subfighter.com is where its at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would this be good for someone who has had literally no experience in any martial arts? In my opinion BJJ is the most practical. I mean 90% of fights go to the ground. And if someone takes you there its awesome to know what to do because in Jiu Jitsu you live on the ground. Greta work out too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely disagree with that statement. And in Jiu Jitsu you dont just pull guard. In any fight you can just take it to the ground say get knee mount and punch the crap out of them. Or say they are on top, put them in a triangle choke, not tight enough to make them pass out, and punch em at will. BJJ is more practical then karate or kung fu. Hands down.

I have recently started training in Muay Thai though.And I stand by my previous statement 100%, based on input from quite a few fighters and bouncers.

Hmm well not to say ive been in alot of street fights or anything. But I have had my fair share. I have jumped to gaurd a number of times with no problems. Plus you can always clinch and then get an easy sweep. FYI I have beat up a couple bouncers jumping to gaurd. A head bouncer attacked me at a show, I ended up jumping to gaurd and almost breaking his arm. From what I heard he had trouble with that arm for months. So I stand by my previous statement 100% as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
