Found these on the internet. Enjoy. Not sure who the BJJ guy is, but has a nice Tom Selleck mustache going. Please rehost. First Vid: Hapkido http://s65.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=34A9RUPFCNLX10NP1ZBECFU740 Obviously these guys had no idea what was going on. Second Vid: http://s58.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=07VJDHAMOIW8I0YS75JU5BFYFF Kickboxing Sweet mustache and mullet combo sported by the kickboxer who gets eliminated quickly after getting his arm out of the ropes.
Both videos worked for me. It's been a while since I've seen it but I believe that these both came from Gracies in Action videos. I remember the kickboxing one except they had blurred the guys face like he was some famous kickboxer or something. The BJJ guy is Rorion.
...and the grinning kickboxing guy who looks like he's appealing to the ref "Hey ref, this guy's not playing fair, coming in close & clinching so I cant hit him..."
Me too. I wish Pride or UFC would do one again like the good old days. Here's the 16 man tournament. 1) Sambo 2) Muay Thai 3) Aikido 4) Shaolin Kung Fu 5) TKD 6) Karate 7) Judo 8) Silat 9) Krav Maga 10) Capoiera 11) BJJ 12) Hapkido 13) Wrestling 14) Jeet Kune Do 15) Boxing 16) Rex Kwon Do They could pick a "purist" from each style (i.e. someone not cross training or previously involved in MMA) and each style would be required to wear their traditional uniforms. Oh yeah. I'd PPV that one! They'd do it over two events.
As with anything, it depends on the circumstances. They both have their merit and are both good at what they are used for.
those hapkido guys were really bad. I mean they knew what the jujitsu guy (rorion ?) was going to do, but they still had no gameplan, one even fell down on his own. BJJ has a simple combat strategy (take him down). The Hapkido guys looked like they were just standing there with no idea what to do. The kickboxer was better though.
yeah. Wrestling is great for winning trophies, wearing tights, and shooting for people. BJJ is good for altogether kicking ass.
