ninjutsu beats boxing...

[kiddbjj]

seriously... i watched UFC 4 for the first time in years and saw Steve Jennum (the ninja) beat Melton Bowen (the boxer). Jennum basically dominated the whole fight.

PLEASE EXPLAIN !!!

OK, here is the explanation: You are a fucking idiot. You should pack up your computer and donate it to someone who could benefit from the resources it provides, because you obviously don't have a clue

He did.

Bowen hesitated and let himself get pulled into the clinch and moved to the fence. Bowen, as a boxer alone, was out of his element against the fence and being mounted.

Jennum pulled off a text-book hip toss and followed Bowen to the mat. He rained a few punches down on Bowen to get his arms up and used that to set up an arm bar.

If Bowen used his jab aggresively, learned how to sprawl and moved in and out of punching range, he would have likely stunned Jennum and knocked him out.

Instead, he hesitated.

perhaps you need to hug your tree a little tighter cause you seem to be carrying some tension in your back fat. your post was... a little hostile

Jennum got an easy ride into the Final of UFC 3, as he came in late in the comp as an alternate. He used basic grappling to beat a boxer. Thats a no brainer. Everyone now knows this to be a fairly easy equation. Thats why no one enters MMA tournaments without extensive grappling experience any more.

But Jennum soon disappeared off the scene when he got no more easy rides.

As for Ninjas.....they made their presence felt on Pat Smith (a Kickboxer) in an earlier UFC. Yes, this guy made a right mess of Smiths hands and elbows..... with his head. They had to carry the Ninja out!

..devastating pulverisation I have seen in UFC"...I've missed a couple.

As for Steve Jennum...(JENNUMMMM). Wasn't he a cop?- and therefore probably knew more than just Ninjitsu.!!

It is a fallacy to presume that a cop would know anything of use. Unarmed training given to them is pretty dire in most instances.

I remember that guy!

Jennum did compete again, against Marco Ruas! That match didn't last very long at all.

You are right. That was more than a little hostile. The point I am thinking was obvious is that this guy obviously used skills other than ninja nonsense if he beat a decent fighter. Back Fat?? Not sure where you are coming from there, but whatever floats your boat!

no worries dude

actually i think my thread title kind of gave people the wrong idea. i wasn't suggesting ninjutsu is better than boxing, rather i was just shocked when i saw the fight. i know boxing rocks.

i've actually tried a ninjutsu class, they had me cartwheeling as a means of escaping swords attacks, so i dunno... lame. it was just funny(strange) to see a supposed TMA guy working a combat athlete.
