Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don't see any.
Comment preview: Jesus christ, this comment section is full retard. OP, ignore all the haters. A bunch of dudes who probably have been lifting 1-2 years and have ego's that are too inflated. I'm guessing you're trying not to gain weight but you want increased endurance? I' ....
Comment preview: * Link to screen cap of Wiki: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/MMA * Link to citation regarding said fact: http://www.razerzone.com/mma/en Quote from citation: "However, it would not be until much later that Starcraft would become his passion. "I love ....
Comment preview: Boxing rings are fairly small. The [UFC Octagon,](http://static.ddmcdn.com/gif/ufc-13.jpg) designed for MMA fighting, is not small at all, and the maneuverability is not limited. That is not why they would be ineffective. Talking about effectiveness from t ....
Comment preview: This is just more of that stupid mindset of "what's the strongest martial art" BS. Honestly, martial arts have had weaknesses and strengths for long times, and these strengths and weaknesses are inherently obvious. Play to your strengths is a better motto. ....
Comment preview: I am an instructor in JKD and have spent equal time at an MMA gym. Let me get the JKD bullshit out of the way -- Jeet Kune Do is a concept and a philosophy not an art. The art behind Bruce Lee is Jun Fan Gung Fu and his personal liberation is Jeet Kune Do ....
Comment preview: I don't think he's a prodigy per se, just in the right place at the right time, with a great training camp and crazy physical gifts that few guys in the UFC can contend with. If MMA continues to rise in popularity I think you'll see more people choosing to ....
Comment preview: Apologies for the rant, I do not normally post but I can't really let this pass. Just to get it out there so that people know where I am coming from, I am a man is his late 20s who has trained in MMA and Krav Maga and I am an avid MMA fan. That being said, ....
Comment preview: I'm gonna chime in here, because this a really incorrect and generalized statement. The idea of training MMA is silly in itself, as MMA is the just idea of various martial arts types fighting eachother (boxing and juijitsu included). And it's even more rid ....
Comment preview: I'd say that traditional martial arts will give you a functional toolset against someone who has not trained in any sort of martial art as well. The core of the claim really is that MMA's learning method is superior to that of traditional martial arts whil ....
Comment preview: I train in Wing Chun and readily agree with this. I've met and tried to train with a number of people who are just horrible at the art, but are still teaching (and this isn't to brag either. There are guys who can still mop the floor with me every time and ....
Comment preview: That MMA fighters are all loaded. This myth isn't that common amongst us hardcore fans who follow the industry closely, but many people think fighters make a ton of money. The truth is, when you consider the work they put in, the fees to their gyms, nutrit ....
Comment preview: To be perfectly fair, I said "Krav Maga" to simplify =) I'm an MMA fighter by training, but I got into the sport out of a desire to learn how to fight for self-defense purposes (the desire for competition came later). Anyway, I took a couple of Krav Class ....
Comment preview: Your argument is spurious, on several counts. Before I go any further, don't take this as a derision of MMA, because it's not. MMA is extremely useful. Your argument is based on the assumption that the people you will get into a physical conflict with ar ....
Comment preview: I met a friend of mine at an MMA gym. We'd both of training for a long time and were in good shape. He invited me to do a bodyweight workout. Despite being able to train MMA for 2 hour sessions and doing strength training and endurance training on our own ....
Comment preview: That's an interesting question. I think there's a lot of reasons why Japanese fighters struggle to make it internationally. (Not just in MMA). It certainly isn't because there aren't any talented fighters here. My own personal background is in Olympic Taek ....
Comment preview: Hi everyone, Just wanted to state for the record that I fought on the first Reddit Grand Prix last October ([here's my fight](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpDENVqVHdg) - I'm the red corner), and I had a *freaking blast.* I started from zero when I signe ....
Comment preview: Takanori Gomi went from being a tepid Japanese wrestler, actually somewhat boring, who just took guys down and grinded them out... to being one of the greatest LW's of all time. He evolved into a technical striker, but in the heat of battle he relied on hi ....
Comment preview: It's more that he's being specifically steered away from a type of fighter which is so prevalent in MMA. MMA is built around wrestlers. Plenty of strikers from Europe have run into a wrestler and had their hype train derailed. It is no coincidence that Con ....
Comment preview: Hello Firas, thank you so much for doing this. I made a thread the other day for r/mma to compile a list of preliminary questions (since not everyone can make it at once). Here are the top ones =) ! http://www.reddit.com/r/MMA/comments/2x5b1y/firas_zahabi_ ....
Comment preview: I don't like to affix exact years to them, since some fighters from a previous generation have found some successes among peers of the next generation. Also, prototypical fighters of a certain generation may have come onto the scene later than most, or eve ....
Comment preview: I am a former wrestler, boxer, and MMA fighter, and I will change your view. TMA (traditional martial arts) can be extremely useful in sport combat or real conflict situations. The movements used in TKD, karate, wing chung, etc., are mechanically excellent ....
Comment preview: The money should go to Chuck Mindenhall who wrote the piece on Thacker. He could then present the cheque to Thacker in person. No way he or Mmafighting.com would steal the money. Chuck could then use this experience to write a follow-up on Thacker and ....
Comment preview: Let's be a little bit fair. We're talking about one of the most dominant female MMA fighters who also happens to be an olympic athlete. The problem is, the deck is stacked against Mayweather from the get go even if she is a woman. He's fighting a type o ....
Comment preview: Yeah, and it doesn't help when you train at Chute Boxe and routinely knock each other out in the gym... >Which is not to say that Silva is easy on his friends. A couple of years ago, when Shogun s prized pit bull gave birth to a litter of puppies, Silva ....
Comment preview: Back in the springtime some folks on r/MMA started talking about putting together an amateur night of MMA fights for Redditors who've always dreamed of competing but probably wouldn't ever get the chance. I threw my name on the list and matched myself up w ....
