*muscle confusion*

Seems like if you aren't an idiot you can make the cross fit model work well

as a business or a workout plan?

both

agreed

crossfit as I understand it is now getting more regularly teamed with MMA/BJJ/muay thai/krav gyms

That sounds like advanced cancer

so now they tend to be these combined joints with a lot of good info flowing around, and ironically they are the hardass gyms now

I like MMA, they lack sublety but at least hit each other hard

BJJ is legit although I dislike the community for being such social people

Doo shotokan karate.

anyone into "good sportsmanship" I dislike

Fun as hell

all the components of MMA (muay Thai, boxing, wrestling, bjj, shotokan) have developed good movement specific training

I already am mostly a striker, I need ground spergs

Mma's problem is it forbids techniques.

And too much emphasis on ground game.

I need gay mixed race men in asian pajamas to roll around on the floor with me

Less on grabs.

well, that's UFC, not mixed martial arts as a broad concept

a guy who does wing chun and aikido is technically a mixed martial artist

technically, but that's not how MMA is colloquially used

MMA is typically muay thai + BJJ under UFC Inc's rules

I mean it in the old fashioned Pancrase sense

yes but so much more wrestling making its way in now

greco roman seems like it was specifically designed to be a ground & pound system

and ye olde english style catch wrestling.

I think it's funny that euro martial arts do great in MMA

people forget that boxing and wrestling are just euro martial arts

boxing + catch wrestling beats the hell out of asian stuff

I just wish there was a good euro kicking system (and savate doesn't count)

I've heard this before about catch wrestling

apparently both Lincoln and Washington were both beastly wrestlers

"A notable match in 1914 was between two prime representatives of their respective crafts: the American catch wrestler Ad Santel was the World Light Heavyweight Champion in catch wrestling, while Tokugoro Ito, a 5th degree black belt in judo, claimed to be the World Judo Champion. Santel defeated Ito and proclaimed himself World Judo Champion."

lmao

if it's asian I tend to like chinese stuff better

the chinese have a style of sport wrestling that highly incentivizes clean takedowns

in action it's monstrous to watch

send vid

Whaddya hear whaddya say?

@@Mother you still kickin around ?
