Where do these charming, savvy men congregate? They are all around...
This isn't the first time that some men have seemingly become withdrawn or more careful with their behavior. It does serve as a good reminder to those who pay attention to the world around them, though.

It actually used to be in the rules to drop knees and throw head kicks to a grounded opponent.
I'm still trying to figure out whether you are actually defending a stance that you hold, or are just playing hero to a girl you like. Either way is cool. Just let me know so I can adjust my comments accordingly.
If anyone that is a fan of tae kwon do, then check out John Makdessi. Probably the best TKD practitioner to compete in the UFC.
Awww why did you delete all the stuff where you call me a white knight and a beta male and that I must have only dared to post because princessC might send me pussy pictures and your awesome argument of "you're just wrong"?
Look...
I don't recall being ugly in any of my posts. You started with that.
You embarrassingly pounded your chest about being a fighting expert and that no one could possibly debate you about it but that you welcome it, and then when I did you go and focus on all this downright cringy beta male nonsense. Wish I would have quoted you earlier before you came to your senses.
You want to know who the only other people here who quote me and hit post before they respond then edit their post so that it doesn't show up in my timeline? Wellmademale and Trinket.
You're being trinket right now.
You went off about rules and actual fighting and I simply pointed out that wrestlers and grapplers are definitely not at a disadvantage when it comes to UFC rules. In fact, it's the opposite because you can't kick them while they'll rolling around and you can't bite or break their fingers or gauge out their eyes or squeeze their balls when they do get ahold of you. It's like if there was a rule that grapplers couldn't try to grab your legs. That would put strikers at an advantage.

If MMA did make it into the Olympics, and I'd like to see it happen, I'm sure they'd make the fighters wear those amateur boxing helmets to add to those MMA gloves.
Getting into a real fight on the street with a stranger, in a bar, parking lot, wherever, is pretty scary really. You never know what skills the other person knows. You don't know if they have a weapon on them and if so, will they know how to use it effectively. In real fighting there are no rules. I've seen small guys beat the hell out of much larger, very well muscled and athletic guys and vice versa. A real fight is a good way to get killed. If your life depends on it, hell yes, hit the guy in the balls and poke and gouge his eyes, then get the hell out of there.
I've used Tae Kwon Do in a real fight but certainly not exclusively. Everything else I've learned from boxing to Judo a self-defense class (that taught all kinds of good dirty tricks and moves) to what I've seen, and to past fights, all kick in. And seriously, it's best to just leave. Save fighting to a time when you're cornered and can't get away or you have to defend someone else. Fighting will get you killed.

How about beer pong? It's kinda of a sport.

I did watch the first UFC. Numerous times. In fact I've watched every UFC fight from UFC 1 up to the modern day. Many of the fights I've seen numerous times.
Girard Gardeau was a 6 foot 6 kickboxer. He lost to a 5'9 165 lb BJJ guy with no wrestling experience. And he was a Dutch style kickboxer, which is far more effective than taekwondo. (Side note: muay thai is the most effective form of kickboxing when it comes to actual fighting).
The rules do not favor grapplers. Fighters are stood up all the time nowadays because the crowds favor flashy stuff.
I'm not sure what your argument is.... I'm assuming that you have some relationship with princessC and you've chosen to defend her. If that's the case let me know. If this is actually a topic that feel strongly about, then let me know... and then we can tangle.
Like I said, I've been trying to start MMA threads since 2010 so if you feel like you have an opinion in opposition to mine I welcome it with open arms.

Old school MMA actually allowed soccer kicks and head stomps. Those prevent Jiu Jitsu specialists from constantly pulling guard, which is why most MMA fighters actually favor them. The general public just doesn't feel comfortable with head kicks on the ground.
I would love to see one TKD specialist try and defend a takedown from even a high school wrestler....
Now if the TKD fighter had some wrestling and could defend a takedown, then he/she might have a chance.
If you're talking about cheap shots and groin strikes, eye gouges, etc... then it's a different issue. And TKD would probably do a lot worse in those situations than they would a controlled fighting environment. It's just not a martial art that lends itself to actual fighting situations. I did karate for 10 years and I feel karate is quite bad when it comes to actual fighting.
And Tae Kwon Do is far worse that karate.
Quote by DamonX
Haha...
Finally... someone wants to debate me on fighting!!
Most powerful styles of martial arts? You have to be joking.
I would love to see a Tae Kwon Do "expert" try and fight a wrestler. TKD only works if your opponent is playing by the same rules. It's a cheesy point-fighting martial art that has almost zero applicability when it comes to actual fighting.
Please excuse me if I'm not "reassured" by your claims. I'll be waiting on pins and needles to hear about the next time you actually win a fight using Tae Kwon Do....
If you want to continue this line of discussion, then I suggest that you learn a bit more about actual fighting beyond your latest cardio kickboxing class.
Haha... "powerful"?? That's awesome. Please let me know... does all your knowledge of fighting come from 1980s action movies?

German Foreign Office issued a travel advisory to all Germans in Canada:
"Germans in Canada should exercise a high degree of empathy. Be nice, don’t gloat, give hugs, buy rounds of hot chocolate. Just imagine how you would feel if Canada beat us in soccer."
Canada returned a diplomatic tweet:
“Thanks @GermanyDiplo. Congrats on your first shot at gold! We remember our first gold medal match in #IceHockey like it was yesterday… 1920 to be exact."
I think Germany should gloat. This was an amazing achievement. There is zero chance that this would happen if NHL players were allowed to compete...but still.
Go Deutschland. I hope they destroy the Russians.

You guys are all sex world champions.
I dont mess about when it comes to sex - I go straight for the kill - if the girl is sexy 1 minute tops.
But what a 1 minute.
I could keep going for longer using various strategies - but what's the point - I get the best bang for my buck with a fast furious fuck.
