Why do you even lift when someone with martial arts training

>>38730193
Most people don't have a martial arts background, why would I worry about that?

>>38730193
And? I'll just shoot them.

>>38730215
It's not that uncommon. Most people I know trained at least once in some form or martial arts (judo, karate, bjj, muay thai). But, yeah, why get into fights in the first place?

Another example of why manlets should stop lifting and kill themselves

When will they learn?

>>38730193
because my life doesnt revolve around fighting people?

this is like asking why bother lifting when a chess grandmaster can still beat you at chess

>>38730272
Why even lift?

>>38730279
WYEL

Because I live in a western country where fighting random people is not part of my everyday life. I don't lift to appear tougher in any way. I don't care if someone with martial arts training could beat me up because I'd never get in that situation anyway.

How delusional are you? Unless you're actively looking for fights, how many fights do you have in a year, let alone your whole life?

Because I want to look good.

Because you get bigger faster than any martial art
Also most people I know lift just for girls or improve their steam
I lift to not look like a dyel with clothes(I practice box)

the only thing lifting would help you is you'd be able to take a few more punches then unfit person

>>38731833
That's not the only benefit. Bruce Lee was a major proponent for lifting during MA, as is just about every MMA fighter out there. Strength and stamina gains are always helpful for fighting.

>>38730193
Why even train martial arts when a random retard who can barely walk could just shoot you?

>>38730193
Do you live in some kind of action anime?

I never had to fight anyone and probably never will

>>38732051
You'll be surprised how many people in the martial arts just do it as a hobby and don't intend on using any of it.

>>38732004

>>38732097
martial arts are impractical in real life situations. you're basically larping

The dude got a foot of height on him and probably over 20lbs of mass. This shows nothing.

>>38732155
To an extent yes, and no. It really depends on what you train in. Some drunk in a bar looking for a fight getting tossed by a judo white belt, his shit would be all fucked up.

most people do not have martial arts experience and those that do are not looking to pick fights unless they're psychos.

the majority of the male population can't even squat lmao2pl8, just run them over and gtfo lol

Because I'm only worried about black teenagers who can't really fight and won't assault anyone who looks physically intimidating.

>>38732529
Then train. Most people just throw haymakers with reckless abandon and get lucky.

>>38730243

I agree: just be likeable and have nothing to prove

>>38732181

>>38730193
This is stupid thinking. It implies ppl lift in order to beat on others.

It's like saying why think for yourself when your calculator can give you the answer.

You're really fucking basic in the head.

>>38730193
How often do you get in fights? I live in a civilised country. Plus, people are less likely to start shit if you look bigger, even if you can't fight for shit.

>>38732631
What if someone tries to rob you with a knife or mess with your girlfriend? How will you protect yourself?

It's not bound to happen everyday, but one day it might happen and those little muscles of yours won't serve for nothing.

I don't lift for the purpose of fighting people.

Reading the comments on the Instagram, it seems martial arts practitioners are very insecure about their hobby. Lots of laughing at the bodybuilder, yet why should it be in the least bit amusing/interesting that an expert defeats a complete novice, unless you have some insecurities about the efficacy of the martial art.

>>38730193

You should train to look good, be healthy and fit not to win a fight

Sure being strong and fit does help in a fight but you're better off joining your local MMA gym.

>>38730193

>I am surely to win because my speed is superior.

Joke's on you faggot cause I do/did martial arts.

I trained martial arts for some years to get a basic knowledge in fighting. I'm also a big guy so I can very easily take on an untrained opponent in wrestling and striking, tried and tested.

The thing is I never start fights or act violent. And I don't think those ninja master jiu jitsu jedis are too keen on starting fights either so I'm good as long as I act like a decent human being.

Gotta respect the professional martial artists though, crazy people.

>>38730193
because i'm not lifting to fight you fucking dink. why would i lift weights if I wanted to fight people? i'd join an mma gym

>>38730370
In western country fighting=bankrupt bill and lawsuit that get your ass kicked out of working place

So I'd rather pussy out in such a nanny state to avoid any consequences. Fighting literately means nothing in western country. You only fight in the martial art class which is a controlled Environment anyway

I lift for the perceived size of my muscles. I do not really care about strength and fighting power. It's a bonus.
If I would like to know how to fight, I would learn a martial art. Duh.

>>38732181
>this meme again
99% of this happened only because the MA faggot already prepared his move in the head. Not because he's fast response or anything. He trains MA for years so he wait that moment for his entire life of course he knew the plan

The other average drunk guy probably only expected some pushing and rambling just like any other day. If the guy really feel threatened he won't be that easy to fight against

Again that bodybuilder is a typical machine using DYEL. Pick a barbell trainer or someone who's huge on Tren and test they won't be easy to pin down. Big muscle definitely give you strength and that guy doesn't have any big muscle

If you are a big strong guy (4 u) get in extremely close, Extremely fast, stay upright and keep head back. Grab hold of something preferably a bear hug and just sink your teeth in his trap. I promise as soon as you tear a chunk out of another Mans shoulder he will not want to fight anymore. You might take hits but as long as you can get your mouth on something just twist and roll. Human jaws and teeth are nasty as fuck in a fight.

Wow, I'm shaking in my socks.

In any real life situation, I'll use pocket sand like Dale Gribble. There are no rules against dirty tactics in real life. If someone wants to start shit, I will instantly become the dirtiest fighter of all time.

>I've seen the same thing with people who just get into countless fights. Although they look weak and undisciplined they are pretty much set on fighting for the sake of being a better fighter and start shit with people that are higher up on the sophistication scale. If the bigger guy is less violent then he has a disadvantage, which unfortuneately should be a good thing until manlets come rolling around.

>>38730193
The thing with the BJJ is that even if you have limited strength than your opponent, you can still make him tap out with proper moves. It surely is the chess of martial arts.

Bruce was never a fighter. Dude was an actor, ballroom dancer, and businessman. He's not wrong, but I wouldn't take advice on fighting from someone who has never put his skills to the true test. It's like having a swim coach who's never gotten in a pool before.

>getting into a street fight
>not using your elbows, knees, and generally throwing your weight around
>not going for the eyes, nose, neck, groin, fingers, knees, ears

It's like you're not even trying to be the undefeated champ. I've gotten into a bar fight with some dyel fag who though he was an mma superstar cause he went to a gym and hand a hand full of fights. He wasnt so ballsy after I drove a knee into his balls. He was stupid enough to try and grapple someone twice his size without a cup.

>I don't care if someone with martial arts training could beat me up because I'd never get in that situation anyway.

Unless you never go outside it could happen anytime.

I walked in front of some car who was stopped at a stop sign. I had the right away as a pedestrian. The dude started screaming at me to get the fuck out of his way and going ballistic and I waved him off with my hand signalling to get the fuck out of here and he started jumping out of his car. So I ran around and kicked the door on him while he was half way out and it fucked him up good and I ran off.

Did I expect that to happen? Hell no but it fucking can.

A lot of the Chinese films are based off real happenings.

Jet Li's Fearless is based off

>Huo Yuanjia was a Chinese martial artist and a co-founder of the Chin Woo Athletic Association, a martial arts school in Shanghai. A practitioner of the martial art mizongyi,[2] Huo is considered a hero in China for defeating foreign fighters in highly publicised matches at a time when Chinese sovereignty was being eroded by foreign imperialism, concessions and spheres of influence.

Fists of fury

>Chen Zhen (Bruce Lee) student of Jing Wu takes revenge after Huo Yuanjia is poisoned. Chen Zhen was based off a real person too, a real student who went renegade after the Japanese invasion.

And the triads were known to be a very powerful force bruce lee had to leave HK because they were going to kill him because he almost beat one of the to death and a lot of people say they killed him and his son.

>Huo Yuanjia represents Chinese pride gets poisoned
>Bruce Lee represents Chinese pride gets poisoned

Heck even one of bruces teachers Wong Shun Leung was known to close many dojos and win many street fights. Other people like Jackie Chan and Jhoon Rhee have said they had to death with the chinese mob too. Except Bruce wasn't the type to take shit from them so he always fought them a lot

I am going through a slight bruce lee obsession right now don't mind me guys

>One day, about twenty years ago, I practiced my kung fu in Master Yip’s institute. I also helped my fellow learners in their practice. At that time, Chang brought in an Elvis like youngster. He leaned his body to one side with his hand on the wall. The other hand was in the back pocket of his trousers. His body was supported by one of his legs only. He swayed his body continuously. His manner was very frivolous as though he thought that he was smart. I really did not like his appearance. After he went away, I told Chang that I did not welcome this young man. A few months later, he came for the second time. This time, he dressed properly and was more polite. Master Yip liked him very much, so he took him to be his disciple. He immediately came over and greeted me. This was so sudden that I just could not understand. We became fellow learners and friends. From then on, he brought me a lot of trouble. That young man was Bruce Lee, the famous international star.

>He had come earlier to make sure that his classmates had not arrived yet. Then he went down the street to wait for them. When he saw them, he met them as if he had just left my house. He then said to them, “Hi! Leung has just gone out. I don’t know when he will come back. His family said that he had something important to do recently and would not be free. So, I think you have to see him on another day.” After that, he pushed them down the road and got them into a bus and came back to me. When I got to know this, I just answered with a smile and did not try to persecute him. That was Bruce Lee, competitive and aggressive. If he wanted anything, he would try to have it at any price.

>There were about twelve people practicing Kung Fu in the garden of the house. Bruce went up and asked one of them, “Hey! Who is the one that wants to fight? Let me satisfy your desire. Quick! We don’t have much time.” The man answered, “We will not fight.” He walked away calmly. Bruce continued, “You cowards! Go home, why practice Kung Fu?” With his hands on his waist, he cried and said, “You are not a man. You challenge us to fight and I’m not a patient man. I won’t wait.” Still no one cared about him. Some of the elder ones started to leave silently. Bruce went up and stood before Li. He made a gesture which meant to insult Li. Then he did a few steps of cha-cha and murmured, “Oh! I beg you. Have mercy on him. I’ll let you beat me. I won’t fight back. O.K.? You don’t have to be afraid. I like you. Come, let’s start.”

>“Because Bruce progressed so fast, within six months he had overtaken his seniors,” William Cheung says. “They got very upset with him and started checking into his background. They found out that he was one-quarter German, and they said, ‘We can’t teach Chinese kung fu to an impure Chinese.’

“So they put a lot of pressure on Yip Man to kick Bruce out of the school. Yip Man came to Wong Shun Leung and me and said, ‘We’re going to ask Bruce to leave the school, but you guys should help him.’ So Wong Shun Leung and I helped him train. Only in the later stages, around 1958, was he allowed to come back to the main school.”

What proof do you have that any of this is true?

>>38739056
>“Bruce was also very, very fit,” explains Cheung. “Also he practiced Wing Chun very hard, and so always won his fights, although many times we really just outsmarted our opponents. Bruce took a lot of challenges. That’s the most amazing thing – he never backed out of any fight. In some situations I would have thought he’d be scared, but no, not him. Some of the other boys with us would run away. Bruce would be so angry with them afterwards that he would not speak to them because they did not have courage.”

>One day William Cheung was shooting pool I Nathan Road’s second storey biliards room. Suddenly the calm of the room succumbed to the rapid-fire pounding of Lee’s ascending footsteps. Ah Hing Ah Hing,” he cried. “They’re after me! A whole group of them! Cheung took another shot at the pool balls, then looked up. “Wait a minute, Bruce, you are in your own neighborhood. How do you know they are after you? “I know because I beat up one of them” Lee replied. “Oh,” Cheung sighed. He put down his cue and walked over to a window. Outside, milling about the street, were about 50 members from one of the larger gangs. They could be recognized by the white handkerchiefs they wore to identify each other. “Well, I see your problem, Bruce” said Cheung “But I think I know a way to get you out of this. Let’s go out there.” Nathan Road is a major Kowloon artery. At that time of day, on any block, hundreds of people could be found walking down the street. When Lee and Cheung emerged from the billiards room, they immediately made the hostile gang suspect a neighborhood trap by the unhurried, cavalier manner in which they carried themselves. Wherever a group of gang members stood, Lee would wave at a nearby group of civilians. And since Lee was a well-known film personality, all the people walking down the street would recognize him and wave back. Soon the gang members were convinced that they were outnumbered, and disappeared.

This. It doesn't make sense because in Lee's books he never speaks highly of Wing Chun. He just said how it was easy to beat all the "great" wing Chun masters because they were stuck in their ways and never innovated. This all sounds like bullshit, he moved beyond wing Chun early on

>By the end of 1956, Bruce Lee had become a serious problem for Yip Man. “Because he progressed so quickly, he became a threat to some of the seniors,” says Cheung. Yet according to custom, a kung fu student was supposed to remain humble and subservient to his seniors. To do otherwise was considered a direct combat challenge. Since Lee only respected the knowledge and fighting abilities of Yip Man and Yip’s appointed instructors, he refused to comply with the arrogant whims of his seniors. Instead, he would challenge and defeat them easily. Cheung continues; “Then they found out that he had a little bit of European blood in him (his mother is half German). They decided to use that to stop Bruce from training at the school, and put a lot of pressure on Yip Man who was a traditional person. He did not believe that the art should be passed on to Westerners.” As Yip Man was a poor businessman and money slipped through his fingers, the students had formed a committee collecting the school fees to pay rent and a personal allowance from Yip Man. These senior students threatened to reduce Yip’s personal allowance if he did not dismiss the Little Dragon. So he reluctionly agreed

Also bruce was known to be in a gang called the Tigers of Junction street

>>38739184
Bruce scrapped wing chun after his fight with wong jack man. This was in 1964. Also he wasn't only limited to Wing Chun he learned Choy Li Fut, The Jing Wu sets and tan tui from jing wu hold on will post pictures of bruce with people from jing wu (school of huo yuanjia)

His dad also introduced him not only to jing wu men but Liang Zi Peng a very reputable inscructor who influenced lees philosophy a lot

Does anyone have a god impression on Russian Systema? I've googled some gyms in my area and i noticed this one in particular. Is this a good combative to partake in?

or just go with a tried and true martial art?

>Yip Man is commonly recognized as Bruce Lee's teacher, but in his biography there were ten teachers from whom he learned martial arts, one of which was Liang Zi Peng - 梁子鵬, who was very well known as an internal arts teacher in Hong Kong during the 60s (but is almost forgotten now). He was also my Sifu's first Yiquan teacher.

Liang Zipeng was the teacher of Lee Hoi-cheun 李海泉 (father of Bruce Lee), to whom he was said to have instructed Liuhebafa. When Bruce Lee had been practicing Wing Chun for a while, his father suggested that Bruce should meet his teacher Liang. Lee became very interested in what Liang was teaching and wanted to learn from him. However, when Liang demanded that Lee give up other martial arts and leave behind all what he learned so far, Lee declined. However Bruce was a regular attendee at the student gatherings held at his house and his philosophy of JKD was heavily influenced by many Yiquan principles as shown below.

>Fights require at least two people willing
Should I post my "Assaulting People Clearly Unwilling to Fight" folder?

>>38733472
This is false.

When I was in middle school some kid stole my gameboy and pokemon yellow, which was the best thing I had at that point. Told my parents, told his parents, nothing would come of it and it was obvious I wasn't going to get it back. Even if I did it wouldn't bring back all my high leveled shit.

I went to his house after school, neither of his parents were home but his big brother was. I told him I was there to take it back and he pushed me off the steps to their house. We ended up fighting and i won after a drawn out fight. The kid that stole it dodnt want to get the shit kicked out of him and handed it back.

Only fight for the stuff you love

>>38739249

>he was killed

more like he killed himself by doing meme routines with stimulants drugs

>>38739270
Do you think two middle schoolers flailing over a Gameboy has the same consequences as two adults fighting or are you actually fucking retarded

kys if you think that shit like strength, aesthetics, intelligence, and fighting ability are in any way mutually exclusive with one another. Sage will fuck ur gf and then backflip away

>>38739285
Thats what they want you to believe but they took a damn long time calling the abulance/taking him to the hospital after he collapsed. (1-2 hours). And Betty Ting Pei called Raymond Chow first before calling his doctor or the ambulance.

Not to mention she married a know triad right after he died. Here is a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oCsrRMD-ow

Most martial arts is bullshit. No fight will be on some soft padded mat. Take a class or two of wrestling or judo, the floor is your best friend in those and getting dropped on pavement isn't fun. 90% of fights happen with shirts on and end up on the ground, use that to your advantage.

A lot of it involves a strong lower body so never skip leg day.

It makes me sad to think about it but atleast betty ting pei is hated because most people suspect her of killing bruce and then she marries a triad.

here another video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhtmuRo0s3U

It is hard to find a man like him that will stand up to gangsters and the evil movie producers (Lo Wei/ Raymond Chow) I heard he pulled a knife on Lo Wei shortly before he died

>>38739339
Both solid choices, honestly just decide if striking or grappling sounds more fun to you. Just stay away from really traditional dojos and dojos that advertise "anti-bully" stuff. There isn't a real answer on which is better just have some fun and good luck

>>38739373
I enjoy both but I know for sure that I could go for some additional attention on improving my competency on grappling

The ippon in judo symbolizes the death of your opponent.

You score a point in judo by doing something to them that would have killed them in an uncontrolled environment.

I think he knew he was gonna die

>I always told him this, “If a man has the same size and physical power as you have, even though he does not know Kung Fu, he will still be able to fight with you. You will win because you have techniques. If you do not take yourself as a superman, you will have a better and meaningful life otherwise, you will feel lonely and cold.”
He should have remembered my words. With two fingers resting between his eye-brows, he meditated for a while. Then he took a deep breath and said, “Leung, I am different now. I have had my life insured. I am ready to face any accident. My family need not worry about their future lives. I don’t have any worry too. If anybody disturbs me, he should be careful. I am not afraid of death, I can kill any attacker at any time.” Bruce seemed to have many cares and concerns. I could only soothe him. I said, “You should not think in this way. To be a father is more than just leaving behind some money. If this is correct, then every millionaire would be a model father. I think, if you have time, you should try to care more about you wife and children. Don’t spend all your time on making money.” He looked at me. He just shook his head and smiled.

"A parting thought- In my own Process"- by Bruce Lee

>Any attempt to write a “meaningful” article on how I, Bruce Lee, feel and think or express myself, is first of all a very difficult task, because I am still in my own process of learning, constantly discovering and constantly growing. As though this assignment is not tough enough, I am in the midst of preparing my next movie, Enter the Dragon, a coproduction between Concord and Warner Bros., plus another Concord production, The Game of Death, which is only halfway done. I have been busy and occupied with mixed emotions as of late. Of course, this writing can be made less demanding should I allow myself to indulge in the usual manipulating game of role creation. Fortunately for me, my self-knowledge has transcended that, and I’ve come to understand that life is best to be lived – not to be conceptualized. I am happy because I am growing daily and honestly don’t know where my ultimate limit lies. To be certain, every day there can be a revelation or a new discovery that I can obtain. However, the most gratification is yet to come: to hear another human being say “Hey, now here is something real!” Oh I know, I am not called in to write any true confession, but I do want to be honest, that is the least a human being can do.

Nigga his teachers are on record as telling his parents he'll be expelled if he doesn't stop fighting on the school roof. He had the cops bring him home after beating up some gangsters and told his father if he was caught again he'd be put in jail.

>Basically, I have always been a martial artist by choice, and an actor by profession. But, above all, I am hoping to actualize myself to be an artist of life along the way. By martial art, I mean like any art, it is an unrestricted athletic expression of an individual soul. Oh yes, martial art also means daily hermitlike physical training to upgrade or maintain one’s quality. However, martial art is also about unfolding the bare human soul, that is what interests me. Yes, I have grown quite a bit since the day when I first became a martial artist and am still growing along the process. To live is to express oneself freely in creation. Creation I must say is not a fixed something, a solidification. So I hope my fellow martial artists would open up and be transparently real, and I wish them well in their own process of finding their cause.

I love you Lee and thanks for all your inspiration. I cry when I think about how you were killed, you are the father I wish I had. My dad is just a spineless weak man. I will forever treasure your knowledge and writings thanks for everything little dragon.


RIP the Dragon Lee Jun Fan

Most people who do martial arts do it for the same reason /fit/ lifts: for fun. It's not about beating people up, it's just a hobby for self-improvement.

Only half-true. I would say "Most martial arts are bullshit out of the package". What you do on the mats must be combined with street smarts.

>>38730193
I don't want to get into fights.

Lets lay out the benefits for both

Gym Meat head with big muscles
>Can lift heavier things
>Non social activity unless you have a bum buddy you lift with
>generally better looking body
>little to no cardio
>No Competition unless you're cheating or a genetic lotto winner

Martial artist
>Can lift people
>social activity with groups of people who all become friends
>Body build around the type of Martial Art
>functional fighting cardio
>Keep at it and you can win low level competitions if you aren't autistic

Yes both parties can be killed by guns. both parties can use guns. Both parties can avoid fights or get into them constantly because shitty country standards.

I think Martial arts has more benefit purely from the social side to it and the competition aspect, you'll got more social gains and functional strength incase shit hits the fan, you can't always hide behind your gun and you won't always be in a good neighbourhood and the world wont always be a safe place

>>38740132
Why is everyone who is in martial arts so cool, I've never had a bad trainer in my life. Unless you go to a mcdojo the people and trainers are always there to help

Just get a knife or a gun if you want to fight, people dont fight barehanded this isnt a fucking hollywood movie.

>>38739467
Most martial arts do fixed choreographed sequences that are as good as dancing.
Live matches against unwilling opponents (such as judo randori) cuts out the bullshit.
