Are Americans falling behind in MMA?

[McDego]

he did fine but just wasent a fighter

too strike shy
[odd that he was the only russian wrestler for so so long]

He wasn't terrible, but also nothing special.

Not like Khabeeby!

This thread still exists.

its timeless like all my threads...

only artificially limited my the moderators

So, since we're talking of immigrants and claiming status, I'm curious about this:

It says you're from Hawaii/South Africa, you now live in NC, founded "the Louisville fight club", but your words suggest you're "Soviet Bloc".

Hawaiins are technically American, South Africans are South African, and both KY and NC are American states.

What do you claim and why?

The reason we dont see BJJ in movies or video games is because it looks stupid and boring.

a fight scene in a movie with guys throwing haymakers and spin kicks can last for 10 minutes and it would be cool. But can u imagine 10 minutes of fake bjj in a movie. Hell, mma fans cant even stand 1 minute of real bjj in an mma fight lol.

Pack your giggle bitch up and hit the road Jack Ass

If you really want to mess with their mind and solidify your grappling training always throw ultralight Palm heels when you're in a grappling stall position

A Genius!

I always disliked Brazilian jiu-jitsu

Right, one of the most innovative grappling arts founded on proven traditional martial arts philosophy... you, the WIZARD, dislike it.

...because to me it was nothing more than Judo groundwork that lived in a fantasy world where no one is trying to strike you

Dahh, de, dahhh, deeeaaa, dahhh, dahhh.

HOWEVER

You cannot argue with its Commercial Success it has become a Phenom

Another in long line of long established MMA factoids.

Why is it that guys who topple others of similar ilk proclaim they are the king of all mountains?

I am Racially South African...

I was raised in Brazil, SA, Hawaii, middle east, Kentucky and FL

I moved to Miami then NC as an adult for career opportunities

I have been a wrestling coach for 20+years and have always admired the Soviet/ Socialist countries as they do everything SOCIAL IE PUBLIC so much better than MODERN America

America USED to have the BEST PUBLIC FACILITIES in the world back in the 50ties but waned under the phenomenon of PRIVATIZATION

Privatization is simply the government selling your public facility to a private corporation who has a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT AGENDA than a democratically elected government

[D 1 Wrestler]

yes I agree they're technically American

But not quite the same as an american-born person who is a classic victim of the business mentality in martial arts

Culture goes a long way

I had a lot of american-born kids on my wrestling team that were first generation out of the old Soviet Bloc

They were born and raised in America but they had a very different attitude

And not one had the attitude to place in Kentucky state tournament lol

Right, and you run a super-duper fight club. Spending sat. afternoon posting cartoon media.

All the girls are impressed.

The fact is the quality of commercial MMA is declining, which MMA media articles have covered. The constant references of bring back GSP, etc., attests to the weak stable of competitors.

MMA could start by rediscovering the sweet science... but the mental midgets playing with dolls over the internet {guess who?} lack the discipline. Talk & hubris substitutes for action.

Deflection is a conversational control tactic used to frustrate and abuse
on Sunday, February 5, 2017

• Deflection, by definition, is a Narcissistic Abuse tactic used to frustrate and psychologically control the mind and emotions of a targeted victim.
  
  Deflecting an argument by refusing to engage with the subject matter at hand is an age-old trick Cluster B people use on others and strive to teach their offspring to enjoy as a conversational game or strategic thinking habit.
  
  It is typically used by Machiavellian people prone to gaslighting preferred scapegoat targets and virtually anyone who will listen to the manipulative and socially domineering speaker, this is a particular (overtly aggressive but socially passive) Narcissistic Abuse tactic.
