yeah, good point about comparisons. They can be very unfair.
Regarding side vs squared stances, a lot of karate sparring is done form stances other than side stances, so that generalization is also potentialy misleading. |

It's very unfair to class all TKD practitioners based on a couple of video's where inexperienced TKD guys go head to head full contact with MT practitioners and lose. We had a 6 year veteren MT practitioner come into our school who kept making coments about how our methods were wimpy, and he missed his MT school. However when it came time for sparring they matched him with a 4 year brown belt and he got his butt kicked, and I mean really kicked. We're TKD people. LOL |
You're right. As always, it depends on the person, not the art.

The comment I made here was not to say that this is how all TKD people come out against Thai fighters. It was just a reference to show the two styles. No offenses were intended.

I don't personally take any offence to any coment about TKD, or any other art out there. I know what I can and can't do. I enjoy TKD so if someone wants to knock it then in my opinion I think they are missing out on a great fighting style. I just don't like it when people categorise all TKD practitioners based on what they saw in an online video once. It's irritating.
As for you bushido_man96 I'm sure you didn't mean any offence so we good.

I don't like to slam any style, because I feel that they all have good things to offer. It does seem like certain arts tend to get the bad wrap, though.

Sad but true.  I know people like to rag on TKD, so I choose not to rag on any other style, even if I think it's completly usless. (Which I have to say I haven't come accross yet)

the idea of mixing MA isnt really a new concept. JKD and MMA are pretty much reliant on it.

Yeah, and don't forget about ancient Greek Pankration. Perhaps the first MMA event in the history of the world.

I'm not familiar with the Greek Pankration, you got a link so I can read up on it?

You could just do a Wikipedia search on it, and I am sure you will come up with a history of the subject.
