            half the number of countries do olympic wrestling compared to judo though. i think it's more valuable to be physically capable of wrestling because of the stamina, but a judo throw would be ruthless against someone wearing even regular clothes i think.

        Depends where you live. If you like in a cold area where people wear jackets year round, judo is still great.
        It's always good to have a good solid basis in every martial art, especially if mma is your goal. Having some knowledge of judo makes you basically immune to 99% of throws people do, and you can counter throw their shitty attemps super easy. I do it all the time after only a few months of judo. It's the same as having a few months of wrestling will make you WAY harder to take down in mma.

        I think his point is that MMA is a compilation of different martial arts and most fighters learn one at a time to integrate them into their arsenal. But it's all semantics.

          Every martial art is a distillation of technique. Nearly every traditional art pulls from multiple others and evolved over time to keep what works for their rules. Mma is no different. And it's VERY fair to say there is a kind of "MMA style" you can spot from a mile away in stance and movement.

          • 11 months ago
            Anonymous

            the problem is MMA has no specific form or brand to it. it's just whatever works, which is like saying your martial art is using your body. no shit, but what makes it a style? there has to be some system or flow of reasoning that makes specific moves work in an art. it could be the philosophy of fighting, the environment where you need specific moves, and so on.

              The fact that it's mainly just muay thai + wrestling + bjj. There are for example no headbutts, no stomps, no eye gouges, etc. Just because it has a flexible ruleset doesn't mean that these rules don't cause a particular style. For example, most fighters use a medium-width bladed stance with upright posture.

                i feel like fundamentally, you can't learn it in isolation. you or your instructor has to come into it with a preexisting understanding of a particular set of martial arts, regardless of it being striking or grappling based. if we were to reduce it to bjj + wrestling + thai moves, then you could argue that learning Gaidojutsu is even more efficient, because it encompasses catch wrestling, judo locks, and muay thai strikes.

                MMA can be broken into styles for each person submission grappling, striking, sprawl and brawl, ground and pound

                > there has to be some system or flow /philosophy of fighting
                not really each person is different and that the greatness of mma

                >environment
                a cage and this is a thing you must train

                you're tailoring your style is my point. MMA has no meaning beyond finding what works for you, but finding a martial art that works for you should already be your goal. that's why i don't get it. every martial art has scenarios where you are in an open area or closed space, and you have to figure out when to use what moves.
                > submission grappling, striking, sprawl and brawl, ground and pound

                Thousands of moves cover this though. how do you pick which ones to focus on? an art has rules that help you decide what to pick and when. MMA is the environment, but you have to learn to adapt in that environment. it doesn't offer you anything other than a scenario.

                Yeah, but if someone says they train mma, they are almost certainly just learning bjj+wrestling+thai moves. So I don't see what difference it makes. Does a martial art being a combination of existing ones invalidate its existence as a distinct art? That's just a semantic problem.

        Clinch is allowed in K-1 so he could have done it if he wanted, but I'm guessing he didn't want to set a potentially bad precedent. Hadj (red gloves) is the taller fighter with the longer reach. If you have the reach advantage and have to resort to clinch, then that usually sends the message that you're in trouble and don't want to get into strike exchanges. Would be a pretty bad look, especially so early in the fight.
