Only because you have changed the subject so many times are we/you now talking about something completely different to the original point....my original point was that Karate as a discipline has no place in a street fight....not whether kicks are effective in martial arts ffs ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I borrowed the tape off a fella I used to work with. Gracie snapped the guy's arm in the final. Gracie was 13 stone, the judo guy 20 stone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mackem 23,759 Posted December 23, 2022 Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 An "acquaintance" of mine, did a few low-budget martial arts movies, then got a part in Bloodsport, he is actually in the opening scenes, was going to have a bigger part in the film but he went on strike for more cash and was written out, was told he would never work in HK movies again, went on to become quite well known for other things and spent time in a far-east prison.

Cunningstunt 9 Posted December 23, 2022 Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 Best attribute to have in a street fight is one. Punch k.o power otherwise it’s best to avoid them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
