Excellent question. I was amazing at MK, how do these skills transition?

I suspect you would be a dangerous man.

He stepped on some bugs that were "attacking" him..
Kempo is trying to make it sound as if he is lethal. For combat - Marine Corps Line is the "discipline" if you can call it that. There is no training to defend or ward off attack. Personally I can't imagine ever needing to fight again. It was fun when I was younger and necessary at obvious time but I don't go to clubs or out myself in situations where a fight should occur. If I am attacked I see no reason to do anything but try to kill the aggressor.

You're giving off the same odor as the OP right now.

Walk into any jui jitsu dojo and tell them about your thoughts on fighting. You will be tapping out like a little girl.

The last time I played Street Fighter, I knocked a dude's head clean off. Never seen that in MMA.

FINISH HIM !!!!!

Not at all man... I don't have a need to fight to prove myself... That's juvenile... My point is that when you reach a certain stage in life - fighting is trashy. I watch for sport and that's fine if its SPORT... Chatting online about the nuances of "going to ground" is gay as hell.. Fight if you or your family is attacked and you have no weapon... But if you aren't in danger enough to warrant killing then don't fucking fight.... Evidently I am not very adept at making my point but I hope this makes a little more sense

It seems as if I have to repeat this as least twice a week: MMA is NOT streetfighting. MMA is a specific sport with rules. Streetfighting isn't a game. If you go to the ground you could die. You must learn stand up fighting and NEVER go to the ground or let someone take you down. They say 90% of fights go to the ground. You must learn how to be a standing fighter and be in the 10% that DON'T go to the ground. Personally I can take on 6 men on me at once and get them off with my hands and feet.

HELIO GRACIE's teaching methods for street self defense did not involve going to the ground!!!

The current Gracie curriculum is all rolling around on the floor because it filled a niche mostly ignored by the martial arts community prior to their family's arrival in the U.S. from Brazil. They have largely done away with all of the Grandmaster's self defense techniques. The current style is great for proving you are the "best" in one on one fights on a mat in the dojo.

Even most Gracie/BJJ instructors contradict themselves by saying don't go to the ground unless you have to in a real serious street assault/confrontation.

Cops and military personnel know that is the last place you want to be for more than a few seconds.

thegamechanger · « **Reply #59 on:** July 11, 2015, 12:26:23 AM »

maybe not on the street because of the hard surface
but in the dojo it is good to go on the mat as its very soft and nice to be there and not have to stand up all the time

Effective street fighting is done with guns and knives. If I saw no other way than to hurt someone I wouldn't let that person stand a chance.

The best fight is the one you don't have. Use your designator to ride in a JDAM.

Got to love these lethal streetfighters, no rules, eye-pocking, groin-stricking, biting killers... As if trained professional fighters aren't much more dangerous in everydays life and on the "street", i suppose their brain doesn't work outside of cages with rules... Keep watching that Bruce Lee's crap...

He's the most dominant, well adapted fighting machine ever conceived.

Government protocols for self defense and pain tolerance are based on Haku's traits.

That's all well and good if you are given advanced warning about an impending attack. In the real world you could be jumped anywhere before you can get to your weapon. You got it backwards. First you learn hand to hand, then uou learn weapons. And by the way, I would take a set of nanchucks and some throwing stars over a gun any day.

My guess is that ANY Marine straight out of boot would fucking gut you with a KBar before you could fling those silly ass stars... Lol. Obviously just fucking with the troll

Juliette Bergmann looked good on the cover.

The Chris Lund photography in Darden's books was always great. But HIT training ain't my thing.

This was another great book:

Throwing stars! hahaha. Kenpo is the best poster we've ever had.

Shuriken. I remember was I was 13 and thought they were the shit. I bought one from a martial arts mag and had it surreptitiously delivered. I was a deadly man. Like Kenpo.

I heard about you... You were that kid that killed that other kid weren't you? that WAS you!! I heard how that kid was trying to shoot you with like a big machine gun or something and then you used a throwing star that was disguised as a belt buckle and dropped him. Least ... that's what I heard.

It was pure instinct. I heard the distinct sound of the machine gun's bolt being retracted and reacted without thought. In a nano-second, my shuriken, honed over hours with a whetstone, practiced with until my arm felt like it was going to fall off, materialized in my hand.

Without conscious thought, I flicked my wrist and the shuriken seemed to disappear and reappear in the center of his forehead.

It's a bit painful to recall how the blood spurted out of his mouth as he dropped the machine gun. The police later hailed me as a "hero". I don't know about that, I was just a 13 year old kid, dammit!

I don't like to talk about it.
