Hilarious. Reminded me of the scene from Bloodsport with the little monkey man and the giant sumo guy.

Just another example of how, in general, there is an inverse relationship between the effectiveness of a technique and how fancy-looking it is.

QFT

Earlier this year at work there was some kind of martial arts demo in one of the lawns. I approach and it was very similar to what the guy was doing (what's it called anyway?) Based on the training I've received, all those flailing arms and legs are prime targets for me to lock/break.

There is a reason why there are arms flailing and it looks like a flashy spectacle....ITS SUPPOSE TO LOOK LIKE THAT !!!! ITS A DANCE !!!!

Your suppose to look at it and appreciate the movement and extravagance of the movements ! Your not suppose to climb into an MMA ring and use it in a real fight.

there is an inverse relationship between the effectiveness of a technique and how fancy-looking it is.

this is random...especially if your using that analogy for the video which is comparing apples to oranges.

Using a powerclean technique to lift a barbell off the floor looks fancy to someone who doesn't know how to powerclean. Does that negate its efficiency ?

Haha! Thanks for the link. Now I know that 1) this is fake and that 2) it's called Capoeira.

Huh? I'm talking about martial arts techniques. But I agree with you on the dancing thing... if you want to dance, fine, dance away. But don't call it fighting, it's not.

Well its staged cause its in that movie Never Back Down but if you notice you see the actual movie camera on the top right somewhere near the end of the video, meaning this is just someone who brought their own camera to film the scene while it was being made for the actual film. In the actual film its more of a close up on the black guy when he's doing his flips.

I wish that sh!t was real
