I see the new Surfmatt has arrived.....
No - I'm not awesome, I just know that UFC and superb martial arts aren't too closely aquainted.
I stand corrected, my club mate was in the England team, not the GB team.
Results are bloody hard to find, but I think Scotland won the under 50kg female sparring? If so, that must be the one who broke your jaw...
UFC is about fighting and winning fights.
Whether they can perform "beautifully" is somewhat irrelevant as the point of them all is to win fights.
Still you can look stylish as you get your arse handed to you on a plate by a "brawler" 🙄
UFC has shown one cannot only use one art and win unless you mean BJJ and even there they still have to do other stuff adequate;y.
Ah, now that almost makes sense. You are 100% right, only I think it's for the opposite reason to the one you're claiming
Edit - not you junkey, I was talking to our resident Bruce Flea
I know where ****y's at
I'm pretty awesome too - I know a couple of moves that are impossible to defend (I once won a tournament with broken ribs and and knee that had been stamped in an earlier round. Single kick 8) ).
I'd take up UFC and beat those bitches down but I just don't have the time TBH.
... and I guess I'd have to lay off smoking crack.
You could no more win a fight using 'beautiful ' martial arts as go to war brandishing a sword. The ancient arts have their place and have helped in the development of modern fighting techniques but they are just too regimented to be effective. This is why MMA has developed and also modern techniques like krav maga. TKD is possibly one of the lamest of all the martial arts. My son gave it up aged 14 because it was unrealistic.
Anyone who spends most of their spare time on a MTB forum and thinks they could take out Anderson Silva is a knob.

if only there was some sort of competition where we could work out which was the best martial art.
Lol. If only Aldo had perfected 'the crane'.
Good trolling btw.

Results are indeed bloody hard to find. Good job the national team coach is the person who runs our club.

I saw a documentary about that, some bloke nicknamed the muscles from Brussels won it.

You're mistaken. What you saw was a dramitization based on actual events. The muscles from Brussels was an actor. In real life the event was won by an undercover CIA Ninja called Frank Dux. He was an American citizen but was born and raised in Belgium till the age of seven, hence his Belgian accent. He was an expert in a secret form of Ninjutsu too deadly for the ring which he learned from Shidoshi Senzo Tanaka. So the answer to the question of "which martial art is most deadly" is obviously Tanaka Ryu Ninjutsu. But it's obviously too deadly for the UFC.

Well according to the ITF scotland website, a junior female was the only medal (silver)

You're quite right wrecker, one silver. Clearly world champions....
Wanman - if you mean Master Wallace, I'll have a chat with him as it sounds like his club is breeding something totally against TKD. If it's one of his other coaching team, I'm sure he'll pass on my concerns.
Silly UFC fighters. When will they learn.

Different world championships. The ones in Roana...
ITF teams get beaten most of the time by TAGB teams.
See those Gifs - where's the defence? It's easy to knock someone out if their hands are down. UFC is gash when it comes to decent fights. Horses for courses I suppose. I'll not be watching it again.
That Uriah Hall KO is one of my all time favs ^

Outstanding 😆
Athletes at the very pinnacle of their sport getting tips and pointers from an absolute tragedy of an Internet forum know it all.
God bless the internet
ITF is the style, TAGB is an organisation teaching ITF style. Strangely, on the TAGB website, they link the same ITF championships in Italy.
You really are a bit of a muppet.

So they had the same world championships in two different places on different dates did they? That's clever.
For someone who is a black belt in TKD you seem to be forgetting the first tenent...
Wouldn't stand a chance against these chaps eh?
I googled taekwondo. I'm not convinced to be honest.

Why not pick a video with someone scottish in it?
Or one of my personal favourites
Because, apparently, it doesn't make it any more entertaining 😀
What were you saying about low/non existent guards?
can you highlight the good bits? i must have missed them.
dont get me wrong, the aldo mcgregor fight was awful, pr disaster for UFC IMO.
but ive tried to watch your favourite examples of superb martial arts and its dull as ditchwater.
reminds me of the two tkd guys who came to the dojo, one to a JuiJitsu class the other to a kickboxing/mma session, neither could handle anything when it got tight. its a pretty good aerobic workout i guess
They do a lot of running away
dont have to run far cos the teacher blows a whistle when one of them dont like it
soobaliasdont get me wrong, the aldo mcgregor fight was awful, pr disaster for UFC IMO.
Quite the opposite. Conor Mcgregor is the biggest star they have by a country mile. A loss would have derailed his hype train. This just adds to his status and hypes whatever he does next, most likely a move to lightweight to fight the winner of Cerrone Dos Anjos this Saturday.

You won't be missing much since you've clearly never watched it before either 😆
jam bo - can you highlight your good bits because I've missed them too.
Why do they keep stopping the fight every time there's any contact?
Why do they keep stopping the fight every time there's any contact?
Because the rules say that it's meant to be semi-contact. Doesnt look too much like semi-contact.
Roadhouse.
Let me get this straight - those clips are supposed to back up the argument that a top class TKD guy would beat a top class UFC guy? Wow. Epic fail.
Or one of my personal favourites
😆
Right, you're clearly at it now. That's cringeworthy. Really, really bad.
Why do they keep stopping the fight every time there's any contact?
Because the rules say that it's meant to be semi-contact. Doesnt look too much like semi-contact.
So how do you score / win a fight? Are they supposed to be sparring? Is all TKD semi-contact or is that the difference between the 2 world championships?
Awesome video. They stop it every contact how would they fair in a full five min round
Poor kick at 1.30 led to the loss of title see how it was also stopped on contact just like your video. In case it's not clear it wasn't stopped the first time it was just the end of the round it was stopped next round
It's funny. They both got DQ'd. The scottish guy was fighting up two weight divisions just for a laugh. He does that. He's won a few world titles at TKD, 6 at Kickboxing, he was undefeated as professional boxer and runs a MMA type gym in Edinburgh. He was thrown out of the last stage of the olympic TKD trials for excessive use of force.
Some antidote for all that bouncy uncoordinated TKD nonsense
Haha...wow come back to thread and this has to be the funniest thread of all time!!
UFC fighters are not great martial artists, TKD fighters at a local level could beat all UFC fighters, no one in UFC knows how to kick, brilliant just brilliant!
My only confusion is why wanmankylung and his pals haven't wiped out the UFC in all divisons!? Not worth it I guess comptetetion isnt high enough?
Oh yeah and why so many UFC fighters have come to the sport from TKD, I mean the UFC is over run with TKD fighters yet wrestlers, BJJ, K1, Judo fighters can't hold there own but there are a couple of brawlers that started down the local pub! 😉
He was thrown out of the last stage of the olympic TKD trials for excessive use of force.
He won't have to worry about that on his way to MMA glory. I can understand why the TKD blokes stick with the riches they make doing their pitty-pat bull shit rather than slashing their wages and going UFC.

....he was undefeated as professional boxer
Floyd Mayweather? Rocky Marciano?
I think McGregor showed how to deal with someone who rushes in.
Away from the trolling, the bit I dont like about MMA is demonstrated in one of the clips on the previous page. Guy gets kneed in the head is asleep before he hits the floor and then takes 2 or 3 smacks in the face before the ref steps in. I am sure someone will defend it but I really don't like that part of it.
Pig face,
It's without doubt the most controversial aspect of MMA. But, the ref can't tell the fighter is out cold before he hits the deck, more often than not the ref is then moving in to stop it, but yeah punches get landed in those 2 or 3 seconds. The argument for it is that way of stopping a fight is safer than boxing. Once it's over, it's over. No counts, or second chances. In boxing guys regularly get knocked out and continue fighting, probably with a severe concussion.
....he was undefeated as [b]professional[/b] boxer
Not according to boxrec he wasn't.
