Wanted you guys to see this.

Understand your point about hard to stop but those martial arts masters are supposed to have discipline. Just looked like a dojo of thugs to me.

i'm not anymorebut was once a highly trained fighter, it's hard to stop once you get going, just as simple as it gets w/o getting into the phsycology behind it....that's why pro fights have refs. they call it off to save the other opponent losing the fight.

let me put it this way, how many guys you ever seen stop fighting someone???? doesnt it usually end when someone or something seperates the two involved? like i said, just my

This wasnt a fight. It was a bunch of thugs making a mockery of someone for a demonstration. Continueing to fight when someone verbally submits, quits, walks away.... or is laying on the ground unconscious is not adrenaline. It's a criminal act. Throwing an extra punch or two is adrenaline. This guy tried to inflict the most damage he possibly could to a helpless person. I would not have watched this happen.

define "highly trained"

let's just say i fought a more than a few amatuer(sp?) mma fights for 5 or 6 years. never good enough to go pro but i was good enough and trained with the right people. made a good living doing it and went around alot of police and sherriff's offices training and/or helping to train in hand to hand and self defense. my fav were the college courses for the ladies teaching personal self defense but a bad car wreck on my way back from CO snowboarding put an end to that part of my life. it was fun and enjoyable, but like everything in life, it had it's time

amatuer fighting does not constitute "highly trained". Especially if you're referring to a past time of yours. Amatuer MMA has just recently reached a skill level beyond bar fighting. Also, a 6 year amatuer career wouldnt give me the impression of a highly trained individual either. The only qualification for going pro is acceptance of the rule changes. No need to be so vague... where did you train? fight?

the old vortex downtown and various gyms and dojo's out on the westside. so i know nothing b/c i cant do it anymore????

i started taking wrestling at age 6, moved into karate at 11. then went to training on other forms, got big into it in college at the citadel when i was boxing and wrestling in intramural sports during football offseason from '91-'94. not a bada$$, never said i was, but i've had more than my fair shair of training as well as military thru marine rotc.

just trying to figure out where you're going with this???? aaron posted up this, i gave my opinion. now you tell me i'm nothing and i know nothing. it's my opinion, if you dont like it, get over yourself.

na, you took it the wrong way. i respect anyone who competes at any level, but being an amatuer level martial artist myself... "highly trained fighter" is not an adjective i've often heard to describe an amatuer. Amatuer martial arts competitions are not designed for "highly trained fighters". Amatuer MMA is a "get your feet wet environment" that is open to anyone at any skill level.
People are often more fond of the entitlement that comes with training than they are their abilities. Call yourself a "highly trained fighter" to entertain or impress a female.... go along with your realtives introducing you as someone who does "ultimate fighting"... all good for laughs, but you're on a forum full of egotistical men, who i would assume given the popularity of MMA today are more than familular with it and "highly trained fighter" should carry more credentials than amatuer experience from the dark days.

gotcha. sorry for the confusion. funny how if we were talking in person i would've known this but in writing it leaves alot to interpretation

which is also why i said highly trained. think about it, most coaches and instructors may never have fought at all but are highly trained and can make other people better. but i know you've seen it, of the .00001% of the population that can fight there is a whole nother 100% of rankings for them.
