I'm here, Mark. Let's see if I can remember all of what I read that I felt like addressing.
OT- I've thought about fighting Tyson before. If the money was right, I'd do it. I honestly believe I could/would win, too. I'd just make DAMN SURE it was the quckest shot I've ever taken. Hell, you know exactly what he's going to do. He's going to charge in and let loose with a left hook. That's the perfect way to get taken down.
Kicks to the knee? Yeah, because those happen so often. A 3 inch space is really easy to hit when it's moving. (That was sarcasm, if you didn't notice)
Pressure points, are you kidding me? I almost puked when I read that one, Mark. Number one, pressure points are allowed in MMA competition. The jaw, temple, elbow, knee, ankle, toes, wrist are pressure points. If you really think that grabbing someone on the trap when they are punching you in the face is going to do shit, then I invite you to come train with me.
I train in a Karate gym when no one is there. The owner gave us the key so that we can use his space because he's a nice guy. On the wall is a very interesting poster. The part that makes me laugh my nuts off is the direction on the poster to "chop" a guy in the quad. Yeah, that's really going to hurt. I've taken 4 full-force leg kicks from a 260lb guy. Hell yeah it hurt, especially the next week, but they didn't stop me. He soon found himself with a dislocated shoulder and a painful face from many, many elbows. (Mexico is awesome, they allow downward elbows. Wheeee!)
If we believe the premise that TMA are for self-defense only, then why are the best practitioners monks? When was the last time a fucking monk living on a secluded mountaintop who spends most of his time making sand paintings and starving had to defend himself from a fucking thing?
Ok, Bruce Lee is fast. Great. He's also 5' tall. For him to get in a hit, he would have to get well within the striking distance of Mike Tyson. I'm sorry, but he doesn't have NEAR as much power as that brute does. Let's quote Mike Mentzer here. Ewww, did I just say that? "You can tap on a piece of dynamite all day long with a pencil and it won't go off. Hit it once with a hammer and BANG" This is the same priciple that would govern a Tyson/Lee fight.
An EIGHT FOOT VERICLE JUMP? Are you fucking insane? So, what we're saying here is that Lee could jump over Shaquile O'Neal wearing a ten gallon hat. BULLSHIT!
It is looking a bit like sherdog, isn't it, Mark? Once again you have "caught the correct" LOL
) and I'm not a fan of guns, but if a guy has a pipe, bat, etc. I'm game! I'll stand right up and pummel the shit out that motherfucker. A bat takes way too long to get around and by that time you can have closed the distance to a point where only the handle part of the bat will hit you. No big deal. Then the head butting and fish hooking is on!
