I fight for team curran outta crystal lake il. And when i first started going there they had open classes f or walk ins to try out mma. And it was always these gangsters walking in with their basketball shorts below there asses. We gave them a chance to spar against one of our new kids and every time the ganster would get his ass handed to him vs a kid his second month at the gym. Yea it annoys me too. Overweight jock with a huge ego vs someone who trains to fight every day....hmmm.....

I find martial arts in general a joke.
Yea its exercise but as a form of self defense there are much better systems in place there.
Martial Arts are a disciplined ART form just as the name represents.

If you are ever in a situation that requires you to defend yourself from a violent attacker I can promise you I will not be fighting with a system designed to score points. Your going to do WHATEVER it takes to put him on the ground incapacitated and prevent physical harm to yourself or whoever you am with. If that means smashing him in the groin ok if it means gouging his eyes out ok if that means you have to start breaking bones or dislocate joints than ok.

The world can become a pretty fucked up place, the faster you are able to dish out a lot of serious pain the better.

My uncles friend takes a self defense class, the first thing you are supposed to do is punch him in groin and stab him (with a finger) in that area below your throat that has just skin over it. It feels like a hole with skin over it, it's where they cut you open when you are choking on something and are about to die.
