The difference between Martial Arts and Fighting.

[DarkReign]

i know they train hard but the ones that came into the gym i was at couldn't hang with us at all... granted, that gym is a total sauna and the workout's there are insane!

Then the MMA guys who were being brought in were amateur at best. The writer in that video is a 3 time marathon runner.

He didnt make it 18 minutes with a pro MMA gym.

[koriwhat]

ok i finally watched that video... what a pussy!

do that times 10 for 3 hrs, 6 days a week. 3 mins jump roping, seriously? try 4 rounds @ 12 mins straight with no breaks in between, so more like 14 mins straight, plus a load of other workouts and sparring. was intense, i threw up quite a few times in the beginning when i first started and i'm sure i'd instantly throw up again if i walk into that gym today. at 100+ degrees in the gym, plus working out for 3 hrs and sparring, you're about dead come time to leave.

wish that dude didn't pass at such an early age... what could've been...

[I. Hustle]

why you so jealous brah? I should have never revealed my situation on here, now all the haters that already hated me hate me even more bro, don't hate me cause I'm better off than you. I probably just paid a lot more dues than you have.

I don't hate you brother.

How can he be a pussy when he didnt throw up?

The point was/is this, MMA workouts kick your ass. Unless youre a) a pro athlete in some capacity or b) have only grown accustomed to the workout through blood and sweat over time, the workout is going to you up.

A marathon runner is just that. A distance runner. Not a power-lifter, a sprinter or even used to explosive, high intensity workouts. The writer is in great shape by any measure, he's just not in the same kind of shape required to compete.

Also, I dont know if the trainer/fighter was trying to make the buy feel better or anything, but even he was saying "This is where everyone else either pukes or quits" (to paraphrase).

Meaning, I am quite sure you (or me, for that matter) would either puke or quit going through this routine at some point. Unless of course you think you are in better shape than a guy who can run 26 miles straight consistently.

had i stuck with the gym i was at... i most def could hack that 18 min workout and more in that video. that was like 2% of the workout that i had to endure 6 days a week, 3 hrs a day. i wish i could've stuck with that gym but when i went back to school the gym took a backseat, plus driving damn near an hr (round trip) to and from the gym 6 days a week was killing my wallet.

what a pussy!

i'm sure i'd instantly throw up again if i walk into that gym today.

lmao

I'm sure girls would instantly throw up seeing you with your jorts down.

[koriwhat]

I'm sure girls would instantly throw up seeing you with your jorts down.

and i'm sure you threw up plenty of time thinking about your girl in the next room getting pounded in the ass by some big ol' black dude while you cried your little eyes out on the living room couch.

That dude is a straight pussy. The part with the resistance band where he had to push forward and the jumping over the yellow rope was hard to watch, dude was such a pathetic . He must have been in pretty piss poor shape at the time for a marathon runner to struggle that hard with that resistance harness after only a jump rope warm-up, a few suicide sprints, and some push-ups...really was tough to watch.

Well yeah no ....even the fittest man on Earth would be dead after 3 hours of intense training in 100+ heat. That is seriously dangerous and if you aren't exaggerating (since your post wreaks of exaggeration), I'd be surprised to hear that no one has ever died in that gym.

[thispego]

I don't hate you brother.

Aggy ' Jar' Sisk does

and it's unwarranted.

That's a horrible nick name.

if that really went down as you said, I might have.

unfortunately for you, calf tats happened.

I'm sure a few posters have thrown up from laughing so hard at those things.

[ManuBalboa]

Can't wait to have a son and force him to train BJJ/Judo/Wrestling at the age of 1 1/2.

i have yet to lie to any of yall... what the is it with you internet people always trying to claim otherwise?

exaggeration, whatever man, think what you want.

no one cares what you think, unfortunately

seems to me that any comment about you crying your eyes out on the living room couch strikes a nerve with you... poor little got having to endure the fact that his pseudo gf is getting plowed in the other room by a real man.

same goes for you thispedo

If you're not trained in muay thai/wrestling/bjj you're not gonna win against an mma fighter.
Closet that MMA has to diversity besides those main three is karate which got one fighter a couple of wins until people figured out his gimmicky and a couple of judo dudes.

Well yea. MMA is handled in a confined space. Kinda hard to keep your distance in there. The shape of the ring also makes it harder to keep yourself in a position to not be cornered. MMA favors grapplers. In the real world it is easier to not get backed into a corner because well, there isn't a corner there. If someone lunges at you, you are free to move back if you are fast enough to get away from it. I am not saying that ALL fights take place in wide open spaces, just a good deal of the places are much bigger than an MMA ring.

Wrong. Too many people care what I think around here
