No,However I am sure if death matches were still legal some morons would still be playing. the point was before you go into combat you test fire your weapon to make sure it works, ONCE. After to many people were hurt or killed it was decided, hey you know this really aint to smart if the rules are anyhing goes then well thats what happened anything goes...if you are trying to kill me (its allowed) then of course i must return in kind. how many students should we sacrifice to see whose style is best in a ring? there are still none of the factors that are present in a real fight(anger, fear, weapons, suprise, multiple opponents, terrain) so why bother to continue to destroy ourselves over ego. If Kung fu fighters could fight for hours and hours in a single match and when it was over everyone could drive home or go smoke a j out back Im sure that Kung Fu would still have full contact tuorneys. but alas people died ..so if we want to watch people who practice martial arts go "full power" on each other with "no rules" guess well have to keep watching the ufc and pride huh?

I don't even have a response....you're a blithering fucking idiot.

Common freakin sense moron, ever been in a fight outside a ring? or inside one? better yet offline? i believe ken Shamrock stated several yearsa go in max muscle mag that he would NEVER use the shoot in the street Too many real obstacles glass, needles, cement ,fire hydrants, his friends with steel toed boots, a knife... you pick the number of reasons grabbing on an unknown quanity and going to the ground in the real world is the less than ideal option as your number one defense.

Boy that combined with your earlier Yo momma really fixed me. i hope your fighting is more effective than your arguements. Good one though Ill score yo momma and you blithering idiot to the moron who's tagline is Ill kick ya in da neck. really now you ran right out of intelligent things to say fast didnt you? If you dont want to discuss tai chi or kung fu intelligently then take your butt back to the mt bjj forums.

Oh, so you've fought to the death ONCE?

Was this the unabridged version of "too deadly for the street!"?

classic jubaji, this is a fear reflex you are exibiting here do you realize that? all this pointless misdirection is intended soley to protect your fragile ego. it reminds me off a child going LAHLAHLAHLAHLAH so they cant hear you. Your philosophy appears to be if i make fun of it it cant be real. you only seem to make fun of arts you dont seem to understand. To quote Miyamoto Musashi things you do not understand do not exist in your world.

[jubaji]

classic jubaji, this is a fear reflex you are exibiting here do you realize that? .

I know! Can you tell how afraid I am? Its terrible!



Now, how many of those death matches did you say you've been in?

[jubaji]

you only seem to make fun of arts you dont seem to understand. .

Yeah!

Wait. Which are the ones I don't understand? I forgot. I thought I was just making fun of your "Oh I'm deadly make no mistake, but I am obligated to never use my awesome power lest the world be rent asunder" Bullshit.

[BoarSpear]

Was this the unabridged version of "too deadly for the street!"?

is this more LAHLAHLAH... from jubaji? Im simply amazed. you should think of becoming a lawyer when you grow up you seem to have a gift for pointless b.s.

Btw in your haste to make fun of Tai chi you missed my point its not too deadly for the street dumbass its too deadly for the ring as proved by the deaths. MMA on the other hand has not proved to be too deadly for the RING BIG FREAKIN DIFFERENCE. Thanks for helping me clear that up jubaji.

Oh man, you got me! Good one!


Now, how many death matches was it again?

[jubaji]

you missed my point its not too deadly for the street dumbass its too deadly for the ring .

Well, that's much more convincing!

[jubaji]

in your haste to make fun of Tai chi

Who's making fun of Taiji? I'm making fun of YOU.
