Typical ignorant posting you find on this site. Any style has its pros and cons, of course there are mcdojos, you think there are no MT mcdojos? a lot of the supposedly "legit" gyms i've trained at have offered "muay thai" yet we never trained in elbows, dedicated no time to clinching and once in a while class was taught by an out of shape woman, I never went back. I trained in MT for 6 years and just recently decided to give a Kyokushin offshoot a try (Kyokushin + Judo + BJJ) we train for "Kudo". The instructor is a legitimate 3rd dan blackbelt from Japan, has competed at the Kudo world tournament and we spar every class bare knuckle knockdown rules, also do pancrase rules + k1 rules and train for every style. It is cheaper than any MT gym i've ever trained at and I have never been pushed physically harder or have had better and more practical teaching in my life.
Now the argument is if you consider that style of karate a TMA or not since it was created in 1980.. it's more of an MMA fighter system based of off Kyokushin. The point is, a true martial artist is open minded, you think Anderson is a moron for training Aikido? or Vitor Belfort for training Shotokan? because I guarantee they would put a whooping on any poster on this forum.
