Oh, this thread...
? I was referring to the effectiveness of wrestling in a streetfight based on my experiences. I have no wrestling background personally but saw guys getting dropped on pavement and it was pretty effective.
"special forces not being able to adapt to the unified rules of MMA " . Why cant they ? Link ?
I think I saw it a long time ago and only briefly, but I would guess that they are talking about walking into a MMA fight with special forces background only against a MMA fighter. Without prior MMA training experience, the special forces guy would not be able to immediately adapt to the unified rules in the fight.
I don't think they are saying that with MMA training, the special forces guys can't adapt. Just that without training, their skills/training to kill/maim does not immediately adapt to MMA rules.
Imagine getting your eye gouged or your nuts grabbed and squeezed by Damian Maia or Jacare. Just because you can do it, doesn't mean they can't do it.
Gun beats kung fu every time...
And jail beats gun, for people who appreciate freedom.
I always use kalashnikov when needed.

You make regulation of firearms sound like a bad thing, which it really isnt. Guns is serious business, and not something lunatics should be given.I was referring to military idioms, not streetfighting...
I am however a gun owner in Canada (that's an oxymoron in itself). It's crazy the hoops you have to go through here to privately own pistols.
The military does dog shit HTH combat training, and I never understand why people think military training is some kind of standard. They use weapons like you say, so they spend 30 hours total in their career practicing unarmed combat. 30 hours. Thats what a hobbyist gets in 2 months of training in BJJ. Of course military guys can't compete in UFC, they have almost zero skill.Tim Kennedy talked about this in a podcast (Given he had a special forces background). I'll have to see if I can find it. He essentially said that special forces guys get the bare minimum in hth combat because they are weapons first (long gun, pistol, knife in that order). They are trained to take out opposition with minimum effort and noise and hth fights like we see in the movies are pretty unrealistic.
He also said that there were guys that specialized in hth fighting in the special forces but that was a personal choice not a military requirement.
