Plus Mixed Martial Arts is just fun to watch I mean i think one of my favorite memories is when Ganzaga knocked Cro-Cop out with a kick, I mean Cro-Cop probably the best kicker in MMA gettting knowcked out by a dude who is not known for his kicking...

that was a brutal fight. just watching Cro-Cop fall down and watch his knee bend it, I cringched. Muay Thai is nice, but there are other arts that are great too. Kyokushin Karate adapted for MMA (they don't allow punches to the head in Kyokushin competitions) is just as good as Muay Thai. San Xou out of China is becoming a popular art to use since it is similar to Muay Thai but it incorporates take downs too (judo like). I would really want to train in Combat Sambo but the only training is on the East Coast.

One crazy thing is that it used to be where you had to train in individual types of martial arts, but some places now have MMA training where you learn a lil of everything and then can go train individually in the areas you really want to focus in....

ya. that is one of the reasons most people that do traditional martial arts don't consider MMA martial arts at all, but in fact combat sports. It kinda sucks though that if you look at the fighters in the UFC they almost all do Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai. There are some who do other systems like Militech Fighting Systems (Matt Hughes, etc) but that is basically built on BJJ and Muay Thai, so ya...The diversity is gone. I'd love to see an open weight class again. Has anybody seen Vale Tudo fights? Those things are brutal and not legal in the U.S but are mainly fought in Brazil. For those who don't know, Vale Tudo fights are no holds barred where there are literally no rules. You can kick the guy in the nuts if you want. There is no time limit, so fights can go on forever.

Being able to strictly train for MMA is a cool thing but honestly individual martial arts training is better, I'm hoping to train more this summer and start fighting by winter or spring, and at longest a year from now i want to have had at leas 1 amaure fight.....
