in some martial arts styles you can assume a casual posture and drop a person who comes at you with thier hands up.
everytime a TKD thread comes up.....theres always some CMA or another striker style that has some nit picking to do.
ive trained in TKD for 16 years an if i get into a street fight i dont revert to putting my hands down. theres many TKD stylists who dont cause they know the difference between
sport competition and a real world situation and its also based on thier quality of training.
your right about you fight how you train....same thing goes for you CMA nut-baskets who mimick the movements of crickettes and monkeys and expect that to work in a street fight |
My comments weren't necesarily about TKD specifically. However, the TKD SPORT fighters are easy to pick on because of the way they train to fight with thier hands down. I think you are really fooling yourself if you think you will fight differently than you train. If you fight with your hands down in your school, you will do the same thing if you get in a real fight.
As far as CMA who mimick animals and expect it to work on the street, if they don't train realistically then you are absolutley right. ANY style or system that trains without realistic expectations will find themselves in trouble in a real fight, no matter how long they have been training. That includes people that think they will be able to start with thier hands down and still fight efficiently.
