i saw a documentary on karate and it was all japanese men beating their bodies with heavy iron instruments, punching other iron things, and shoving their hands into hot rocks.

i didnt do any of that in my six months of strip mall karate.

I'm pretty sure that George Saint-Pierre got by pretty well with karate.

And as for cross-fit stuff, on the surface it does seem really solid, especially considering the fact that a lot of the associated exercises aren't all that new. Hell, when I was still doing sport fencing, the coaches actually sniped some techniques for our warm up drills at the beginning of each class. Guess it's really about finding a good teacher for it.

Let's play "find the karate" in George St Pierre in the ring. Can't see it? Still can't see it? Try looking closer! No? Maybe try seeing things... Hmm...

Actually it's pretty apparent in his striking game which makes sense bc Karate is usually a striking thing. Kyokushin Karate is super apparent in his kicks, esp in the combos.

just cuz *you* don't know poo poo lol...

that's like saying trap shooting is dangerous and dumb because you watch videos on youtube of people holding the shotgun backwards and shooting themselves

look, just because you have to justify the extra money spent to yourself, doesn't mean the rest of the internet has to agree with you

He reported he took a banned substance, it wasn't detected in tests and then he ate a 2 year suspension and the UFC terminated his contract.

Crossfit was good when people just called it olympic lifting and circuit training, and didn't do it racing against a bunch of other guys with terrible form, and it wasn't structured around a workout of the day assembled by a guy who doesn't lift randomly mashing words together.

Everything praiseworthy about Crossfit existed long before the marketing, in much safer and more effective forms.


Also I would fight Ronda Rousey and I would win, too.

She'd have to cut to make weight, though.

yeah GSP began karate as a child to get tough bc he got bullied and other kids would beat him up and take his shoes :(

he also didnt start training wrestling until he was an adult and already fighting but he learned pretty fast and ended up being a better wrestler than all the collegiate wrestlers who came into mma as their gimmick

i loved watching him rassel Real Wrestlers in UFC bc after they realized they couldnt stand w him couldnt take him down and couldnt keep him from taking them down u could see the panic and frustration and despair in their increasingly hosed up faces as he methodically and unrelentingly battered the poo poo out of their body and spirit and his accent was so cute :3:

GSP repeatedly jabbing at a broken orbital for 4 rounds after it was clear Koschek had nothing, after Koschek spent the lead-in acting like a schoolyard bully, was the sweetest goon justice.

It's really too bad GSP has never been the same since the Diaz brothers trapped him in a refrigerator box and buried him in their yard.

i would venture to bet that her body generates enough testosterone to be on the right tail of a bell curve which basically makes her king of girl beating regardless of any kind of special training

I don't know that she was a fraud. Her standup was questionable at times but I think the reason everyone's making GBS threads on her is because she was an insufferable piece of poo poo. When she did lose, she got styled on in a big way and everyone that hated her just gobbled it up

Ronda wasn't a fraud. Her Judo/ground game let her outclass every woman in the UFC by wide margins - mostly because their pool of talent was laughably shallow.

Her stand-up started to improve and she shocked everybody by knocking out Bethe Correia in 30 seconds. She threw her world class techniques out the window and rushed full stream ahead swinging for the fences. It worked.

Her very next fight was against Holly Holm, who is the most decorated female kickboxer the UFC had signed. Ronda tried to do the same poo poo she did against Correia, but it didn't work against Holm. And Holm completely embarrassed her.
