TCMA will never die out. What's hot now was not so in the 60's nor the 1600's. Different strokes for different folks. And folks will always have the TCMA option if they so choose.

I don't think Chinese martial arts is going away on the contrary At the Kung Fu San Soo school that I train we had 51 students training the other night. It seems to be thriving.

MMA is popular because of the UFC and other fighting organizations which is fueling peoples interest in MMA. I like MMA and I love to see a good MMA fight but i am not training for the octagon, I am training for the street. No rules just down and dirty street fighting.

This is said a lot. If you train for MMA, then you can use it in the street.

As far as the popularity in the CMA's goes, I think it tends to be a style that flourishes in more heavily populated areas. I live in rural Kansas, and have the only time I've ever seen a CMA school is in phone books when I travel to larger areas. The CMA's just haven't seemed to have matriculated as much as other styles.

I agree that you can use it in the street but if you condition yourself to fight with rules for instance no kicks or punches to the groin or no eyes gouges then you are more apt to do the same in the street.

That's not necessarily the case. Anyone can kick to the groin. It doesn't require a lot of special training. Just different target. Aside from that, the groin is the end all, be all target it is assumed to be.

Our body has a natural flinch response to protect our eyes. If I can jab to your face, I can open my hand and gouge your eye. If you go for an eye gouge like that on an MMA fighter who has trained to defend a jab, then it probably won't be highly likely to hit home, anyways.

I'm just saying that just because someone fights on a rule set, doesn't make them that susceptible to losing a street fight.

I hear what you are saying and understand. Im not saying MMA people are a bunch of no good fighters. There is no way I would want to fight a professional MMA fighter. When you train day in and day out to strike and hit people in places that MMA peeps don't usually train to do, then you are more than likely to strike those areas and end a fight quickly.

The delivery system to strike those places is likely to have some problems, though. Then too is the assumption that those places will end the fight quickly, not always a good one.
