I`m not having a dig, just a bit of light hearted pi55 taking, but every art has its dis-advantages and weekness`s, for centuries this argument has been raging "which martial art is the Ultimate art"
Which is why UFC (Vale tudo) has grown into what is (IMHO) the Ultimate Fighting Art, No frills, no fancy hand movment`s, just a realisation that alot of techniques are un-economical and usless, so all the silly stuff is thrown out and what is left....WORKS.
Punching, Elbow strikes, kicking, kneeing and grappling, lets face it, any fight that last`s more then 10 seconds in the street, is going to the floor, so good grappling skill are needed.
Again though, be very careful when looking for this sort of mixed martial art, as most instructors have a bias towards one art, so you could get what is mostly Karate with a bit of jui justu thrown in.

Research is the key and If all else fails, Dedicated your life to to Martial Arts and study All of them and become the ULITMATE BADASS.

Street fight goes to grappling in about 3 seconds i think is the average unless the two have skills.........its all well and good knowing all this and that and quite frankly alot of it is obsolete and will never be used.....unless u mix in bad circles and not many do..they like to think they do.!..train because you love it and you want to learn.

The martial arts is about discipline training the mind and body, learning repsect for yourself and others and after training for a long time you realise the futilty of violence and how dangerous it can be to get caught up in a scrape.....
Its the reason the traditional arts have lasted they teach more than street fighting ! they have core and content .....

Sure the martial arts are born from violence and your are taught how to fight, buts that so you dont have to fight....

when you have skills u can read a situation very well and remove yourself from it....thats the essence of self defence....

People often ask me " do you ever use your martial arts "...like its a button u can switch on or off......as most who have trained for awhile will agree its a reflex a
natural response..............its why we cant play fight....and dont wanna get into a scrap...cos sum1 will get hurt.....and thats not the goal of a Martial artist.............

wtf..i gone off again.......

Tony if u r still reading lol............................let me know what you think lol...............
