Has the UFC ruined martial arts movies for you?
Oh why do you think there hasn't been a successful karate practicioners in ANY combat sport? Lets see here
Lets say match 1 is pure striking stand up
Karate Kid would get beat by a boxer or kick boxer by pure out striking
Karate Kid would get kneed to death by a muay thai fighter while grappled
Karate Kid would get elbowd to death in a grapple in the coner
Lets say match 2 is pure ground game
Karate Kid would get ground and pounded till he was knocked out
Karate Kid would get submitted not only on the ground, but standing
Karate Kid would get tossed around by a wrestler till he got the postion he liked
Lets say match 3 is MMA rules
Karate Kid may be getting the better stand up of someone, but then he gets takin down, what does he do? I know he doesn't know cause he hasn't learned ground defense
Karate Kid fights A,B or even C ranked striker and Im putting my money on the MMA strike over him anyday. Why? Karate Kid would be using kicks and punches, while the MMA striker would be using kicks,punchs,elbows,knees,grappling,foot stomps,take downs,submission attempts ground and standing
Lets face is karate has yet to make a impact in ANY combat sport, and I doubt it will.Kwali Reviewed by Kwali on . Has the UFC ruined martial arts movies for you? It has for me. Not that I'm complaining or anything, just feeling sentimental, I guess. Once you've seen how a real life martial arts fight plays out, all those kung fu and karate movies just look comical. Every move they make is so elegantly complicated, perfectly timed, and flawlessly executed. Not at all like the UFC. In the UFC, 99% of the fights go to the ground and end on the ground. And even when they are on their feet, they don't seem to be using any special techniques that you Rating: 5
