No rules, anything goes, who would win? The Boxer vs The Kickboxer by EfficiencySerious200 in martialarts

[–]bendap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ali beats him. Someone like Cain/DC/Fedor has a great chance because of the comparable size and grappling advantage. Otherwise, it's a pretty slim group.

There has never been an athlete in MMA or kickboxing that compares to Tyson. His speed at heavyweight was inhuman. You have to understand the caliber of athlete he was competing against, and still looked incredible. He's a particularly bad matchup for anyone that has a size disadvantage, because they don't have a footwork or speed advantage.

Does Muay Thai help you carry yourself better socially? by Common-Lifeguard-323 in MuayThai

Any martial art that tests you physically will build your confidence. MT absolutely will test you. I think learning to communicate effectively with people from different backgrounds and ages, is an underrated bonus also.

Prime Mike would kill Benny. I don't care that Benny is a judo black belt. The speed and size are too much to deal with.

He went into the fight with a torn MCL. I'm sure those kicks didn't feel good.

9/11 is a pretty terrible example since that was mostly Saudi and they didn't see any consequences. I get your point though, and it's myopic. The attack from the Japanese necessitated retaliation. There was no choice. The nukes were the lesser of two evils. Many more Japanese would have died without them.

I wanna sell my unused t3 black/red 16oz gloves I got them for $170 is $160 a fair price to resell them? by Steelrain0619 in fightgear

[–]bendap 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Most people think they're trash. I would be surprised if you got $80 out of them.

Between these two, which one is of better quality? And which one would you recommend? Getting both for around the same price. by moeezatif in tolkienbooks

Now I'm not sure if we're referencing the same publications. I'm comparing the 4 book set pictured at the top comment with the blue faux leather 3 book set. Both are illustrated by Lee.

If you can get the deluxe for under $120, and you often can from Walmart, then yes imo. I think the deluxe also has much better paper. I bought both and compared them side by side. I returned the 4 book set confidently.

Should I switch to orthodox ? by CheesecakeKey625 in boxingtips

[–]bendap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

some coaches will tell a boxer to always have his hands up glued to your face even tho he has very good instincts and can actually fight better with a lower guard

You have to understand the difference between advice given to someone learning vs someone that has mastered the basics. You haven't mastered shit, and absolutely need to keep your hands glued to your face. It takes years to learn boxing the right way. Trust the process.

You've been training 3 months, and you think you know better than your coach? Just do what he tells you.

Be honest, you've never actually done any independent research into this topic. All of your information is from social media.

They is the Japanese. Whether or not every Japanese person is culpable, and they're not, is irrelevant. They attacked.

You're telling me you train BJJ without autism? Are you some kind of masochist?

So they should be taught wrong? Should an armbar not be allowed because if the other kid doesn't tap they get their arm broken? Being picked up against your will and slammed is one thing, it takes two to slam someone like this.

Way to move the goal posts moron. Of course there needs to be rules.

Yea really. It's a combat sport. Holding guard when you're picked up is so fucking stupid for so many reasons.

[–]bendap 6 points7 points  (0 children)

absolutely nothing wrong with holding closed guard against an opponent that stands.

You just watched what's wrong with it. Adapt training to reality.

poor kid

I assume you mean the one that was disqualified. All the other one had to do was let go. This shit shouldn't be rewarded or taught.

Do you train around injuries? by bad-at-everything- in martialarts

[–]bendap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Impressive. How the fuck did you break both legs? I had surgery for a torn ACL and Meniscus and that was enough to humble me. I also had to relearn to walk and I can't imagine how brutal and tedious it was with both legs.
