Traditional Martial Arts are STILL worth it!

[Griffithaintdidnothingwrong]

Traditional martial arts isnt bad i just feel like it was more dangerous in the 80s then now because alot of people play it safe with traditional martial arts nowadays, i saw a video comparison of a karate tournament from the 80s vs now and the fighters from the 80s were going to war with each other mean while most karate fighters nowadays look like there playing a really aggressive game of tag with alot of protection on there bodys

No people shit on traditional martial arts, when people teach shity traditional martial arts at a McDojo... When people teach good traditional martial arts usually it gets absorbed into mixed martial arts if not it's training methods incorperated into a camps training.

What people called as traditional.martial arts is the calmed down version of their past self after some rules, federation and competition held

Look at where red tag's hands are, he's screaming "kick me in the head". On your note, if one went to a well researched school with sparring and legit instrructors, they could be dangerous in a year depending on dedication.

theres just too many people who are out there who are mcdojo black belts

Try that on khabib 😂
Incredible skill for sure just wouldn’t work on an elite grappler

That was a great kick, but your focus is on the kicker and not the guy who got kicked who was a pilon made himself an easy target. Now the guy that through the kick look at his hands both are at his waist a decent boxer puts him away easily.

Yeah, but you would have to lay down for Steven Seagal to kick your head😂

But the person who didn't understand movement and space, so poorly that they waited for a 3 step and full rotation kick to hit their face, was also a "traditional" martial artist. Kinda ruins your point.

I feel like that’s a bit of a strawman. Of course there are the mma bros that consider everything other than mma as useless but those people are generally the minority and idiots. I’d say that people shit on certain traditional arts but that is normally based on ignorance of the art. For example, speak to a wing chun man and he’ll shit on Muay Thai, speak to a Thai boxer and he’ll shit on boxing, a boxer will shit on karate and the never ending circle will continue. In my experience the people most critical of traditional martial arts are other traditional martial artists that simply practice a different art or none at all.
