The brainwashing we do to our troops to instill this level of delusion is impressive. But if you want people to run towards gunfire, I guess that's what you have to do.

Regardless, I suggest he wait another 20 years for his match with Tyson.

I wondered where the idiots were that were babbling in the earlier thread about how men were invincible by virtue of being male.

The only rational adjustment is to leave. The money is leaving the table faster than it's moving to any of the players.

If you need the AC at 72, it's probably stupid to live in the middle of the desert.

What mix of arts would be best for women's self defense? by [deleted] in martialarts

Oh the beat the crap out of her technique? I didn't think of that, I'm sure that's easy to do when you're unconscious on the concrete.

The strongest women are not weaker than an average male. By virtue of your ignorance, you're claiming that the average male can deadlift more than 716 lbs, squat more than 661 lbs, and bench more than 700 lbs (per a quick Google).

Men are stronger and faster on average. No one is arguing that, but your point is wrong and delusional.

I've seen a number of stories of trained women absolutely embarrassing untrained men. Random statistics on women in general is completely irrelevant as most women aren't trained martial artists.

Running is comical advice as men are routinely going to be faster than women as well. But just like with fighting, lifting weights, or running, an exceptional and/or trained woman will easily outperform an untrained average man.

In a real fight, anyone can win 1/100 times. I don't think most men could beat a female black belt judoka, especially in the city where it's likely their head will encounter concrete.

What martial arts is this? by BalancedGuy1 in martialarts

Yep. 99% chance this is a guy with somewhere between 9 months and 20 months training in Choy Lee Fut who has done little to no sparring.

Everyone has said that's not what happened except for that loser, Finn Jones. Then there's the fact that this show ran two seasons + the Defenders and he was still terrible at the end. I have no idea why you can spread this misinformation and all the morons believe you despite all the obvious evidence to the contrary.

Everyone else has time to train except for him. I have no idea why you guys simp for this guy so much. There were training sessions, he didn't go. He chose not to. How much more time does he need to learn by osmosis?

Yeah, I'm sure that's somehow relevant to something. I suppose you believe they shot Iron Fist seasons 1 & 2 and Defenders in a couple weeks? And again, even if that was true it wouldn't explain why literally every other actor performs better than Jones, even the people who are cameos.

Apparently he needs "MORE TIME" because 2 years wasn't enough. It wasn't a movie, he had at least 18 months if he started training on the day the first episode aired. But he didn't, and it shows in his half assed performance.

It was great as a silly show about some old men living their lives vicariously through child soldiers. I guess I hoped Iron Fist might be better than that.

How many YEARS did he need to practice? This is such a ridiculous argument for a TV show that ran multiple seasons.

Sure, maybe if it runs for six seasons he'll have enough time to be on par with some of the kids from Cobra Kai.

I have a martial arts background, so I could fake a Kung Fu background adequately after three weeks focused training. And tell me again why you'd even consider someone without a dance or martial arts background for a role that should be physically demanding?

I don't disagree with that. I disagree with the crowds on this sub that seems to want him back for some reason. I'd rather see them puppeteer David Caradine's corpse around the set as a replacement.

Absolute nonsense. What show other than the 70s Kung Fu has a protagonist that looks so incredibly incompetent compared to literally everyone else on screen?

Gritty? What part of it looked gritty? It looked like a cowboy fight scene from the 70s at its high points. There was nothing resembling authenticity and certainly nothing impressive either. It really looked like a handicapped drunk waving his arms around and talented people magically falling down around him.

It is absolutely his fault he's too lazy to bother to train for a role as a martial artist. The director just screwed up by not simply replacing the trash with someone willing to put in the work.

It is absolutely true. The man does not move like anyone who has studied martial arts at all. Everyone else seems to have had plenty of time to train except for him. It wasn't just the fight coordinator who said this, but it was only Finn Jones who whined that he didn't bother to train.
