in essence don't be an ass in a lions skin

I'm just curious, do you really think any of these skills would be useful on the street? You don't have time to put on your ridiculous gi or carry around a sword, and it only takes one pipe bomb to cripple you for life

Not sure I understand fully, I am just asking for an activity or sport that you must be huge, and skilled for. Not just one that requires understanding of skill and timing but also a large body.

>>39243452
Football

>>39243459
again you could be pele and only one pipe bomb could destroy you

>>39243433
Kek, no I'm not taking them for usefulness. I mean an uderstanding of leveraged and submission from bjj will be useful in some situations (I also do not train with a gi) I'm doing these two sports because they are fun.

>>39243467
great but fun is not a valid defense against a pipe bomb

>>39243466
When did anybody say football players are impervious to pipebombs?

and that's gridiron football, gotta be big for footy fairy soccer nigga pls lmao

Greco roman wrestling is legit senpai.

Some kung fu retard wants to start shit thinking they have a good striking game and theyre in for a world of hurt.

Not super useful against multiple people at once tho

>>39244693

Kung fu developed from war, wrestling developed from sport. Tell me ho many wrestlers lose in the competition when some guy sticks their finger up their ass or grab their balls

>>39244731
I doubt most wrestlers would mind

>>39243319
That's the Hercules from Hercules and Cacus by Bandinelli in your pic, so that guy will have built himself by lifting stone weights and Greco-Roman wrestling, basically. If you want to look like him you should do the same.

>>39244731

if kung fu was that great you'd see it in UFC or one of those other big fighting organizations

but it's not, so you don't

The UFC/MMA and is not the be all end all of fighting and Kung Fu can be good if it's not treated like mcdojo bullshit
And there are Sanda/Sanshou fighters in the UFC and professional MMA. In amateur I've seen a couple of fighters on YouTube win with kung fu backgrouds. There was a specific guy who fought with Praying Mantis, stance and moves, easily identified as Praying Mantis and all, but I'm having trouble finding it. Another reason why you don't see Kung Fu as much, is because much like other TMA's isn't because they're less effective, merely less conductive to working in a certain environment that suits already practiced combat sports more than MA that don't use similar rules, rings and gloves; such as say Muay Thai. Muay Thai's been practiced in a similar format and with similar rules to MMA rules for far longer, so of course it adapts a better. You can't just slap gloves on a Kung Fu fighter, chance their competition and format rules then expect the fighter to adapt as immediately or as at a higher curve that a Muay Thai fighter would. With time and practice (and more kung fu fighters being present and attempting)however, kung fu can be adapted to MMA, like any other art.
