And as we all know, MMA is the true test of what works and what does not in self defense...

well not quite. a bit close. but not quite.


multiple attackers are _very_ common (at least where i'm from), and there's the ubiquitous disposition of starting the fight with your back to the attacker(s).

Geoff Thompson said in his biography, that judo was the king in the grappling world, and one of the best kept secrets in the martial arts fo self defence.
and whos really going to argue with him?

superfighter your 1st post in a forum makes a point like that??, you are one of the above contributors with an additional screen name aren't you

[superfighter]

actually no, this is my first time on this forum. as to what i said, i believe it happens to be quite valid.
hes been a bouncer at some of the roughest bars and pubs in Britain. never lost a fight, so perhaps, he knows a little about streetfighting.
and what works, and what doesnt. hes seen judo work.
so yes, judo is applicable in self defence.
and like i said, whos going to argue with him?

your words do have the distinct ring of a Troll though.

you act like a child, if you dont agree with somebody elses opinion then you obviously dont know what your talking about...... and for your information, im merely stating facts. not my fault if you dont like it.
anyways, ill leave you and your playschool to it. i see this isnt a place where people can discuss things without having it turning in to arguments, which is what forums should be for. not bashing each other. people like you dont belong on here
