If you think I am kidding you need to google the name he signed the posts with and read his blog.

They clearly show you to be wrong. If you were talking Vale Tudo it might be different, but then the gracie system was put in its place back then from time to time too. Once people did die in the ring, but that was not the MMA of today. I kind of think you likely don't even know the history of where the MMA came from, otherwise you would not have such a poor understanding of it. I suggest you go find an MMA fighter to talk to so you can learn more about it. To review MMA is typically oriented at achieving the submission of the opponent, while you speak of sissies I can't think of something more homoerotic than MMA. Two macho guys trying to get the other to submit? Of course the popularity of the sport with latent homosexuals is undoubtably responsable for how popular it has become. On top of that the rules list over a dozen moves that are banned. Does that sound like a sport with devastating moves? More like one that will not allow a devastating move. What about rounds? Fights don't have rounds, they don't have rest periods. MMA sportfighting does have rounds and rest periods. Weak. And what else does a devastating martial art need? That is right a point system, because we all know how the point system proves a martial art to contain the most devastating moves in the world. (again weak) MMA fighters cannot grab, pinch or claw the flesh. All of those moves are reserved for real martial arts with real devstating techniques, They are not allowed to cause injury to the opponent on purpose, this is a rule directly against devestating an opponent. How Mr. leadfist, does a martial art that bans devastating techniques, contain them? Clearly you should go find someone involved with MMA and learn more about the sport, which is what it is, a sport. If you are going to defend a sport as a martial art, it helps to know what the sport contains and is. <em>[Edited. --Administrator]</em> Feldman, you can look up the MMA rules if you want.

Self defense isn't about fighting, it is about surviving. I'd have no problem ending your life if you put mine at risk just like I'd have no problem protecting your life if it was at risk. Well Mr. Feldmen.

Self defense isn’t about fighting, it is about surviving. I’d have no problem ending your life if you put mine at risk just like I’d have no problem protecting your life if it was at risk.

That isn't the same as being cocky about it. I'm off. There are trees out there that need my attention. And by the way Mike if the situation warrants it I will hit first.
