woah I just found this thread and I love martial arts! Just thought id point out though that china has wrestling, China is as big as Europe so not every province will train in the same way so obviously you go through a lot of different fighting styles and at least one of them had to be wrestling (pretty sure theres more than one but I've only trained one so I can't say much more), wrestling in china comes mostly from a Mongolian background so its places like Beijing and stuff where you'll be able to find it (or all over mongolia).
I used to train out there because I grew up out in Beijing (not that I'm chinese, just an expat) but yeah I trained a ton of things growing up like judo, san da, shaui dao and trained much more seriously (like everyday 2 hours a day) but only for a couple years with muay thai, greco roman and brazilian jiu jitsu. But yeah you guys are right that the idea is mostly to throw them down then move onto the next opponent rather than hold on and go for submissions but I dunno greco roman isn't really known for submissions either its best as a way of getting the takedown then going in with bjj or just as a way to hold someone down and whale on them. All I'm saying is theres a difference between wrestling and then grappling and while I can't say much for chinese grappling I know they have chinese wrestling styles.

Muay thai is the shit dude easily my favourite fighting style but if your training is anything like mine get ready to feel the pain like never before because a lot of muay thai is about how much of a beating you can take and still keep pushing forward, I got beat so hard I was literally limping around school for my junior and senior year. Who's your favourite fighter? you should watch lumpinee stadium fights if you like mauy thai man they're crazy

Yeah for real them leg kicks ain't no joke but you do take a nice beating boxing just waist up when I started I'd get the worst headache but after a while you can take a hit body shots are the worst though shit just takes your breath away and lose serious punching power then it just aches bruised ribs suck every time you cough that shit kinda hurts. lol, Don't really have a favorite though don't know many I have to watch it online so my favorite is whoever gets the KO it's why I love it so many KO's. :bigjoint:

ah man start muay thai and you'll be ok with getting punched cos at least its just a glove i mean a big punch always sucks but try a shin for a change man and after a while of training like a year or so your shins get super hard and you can kick as hard as you want without feeling it so when you take a kick to the head its not fun man it feels like someone just smacked you with a baseball bat, but yeah dude heres a clip of some lumpinee stadium knockouts for you its ridiculous haha
3:59 is buakaw, he kicks like its nobodies business

I studied Tae Kwon Do when I was about 6 yrs old
Then studied Karate when I was about 10
Took a break, then studied Kung Fu for six years (through middle and high school)

I'm itching to start back now that I've got a job and nothing else to do besides weight lifting and ganja growing lol. I'm really interested in trying out Muay Thai, that'd be a killer combination with what I've learned already.

If you haven't seen these movies, you need to:
Ong Bak (Tony Jaa) - this guy is fucking magical with his knowledge of Muay Thai
Black Dynamite (Michael Jai White) - this movie is hilarious; watch it after a bowl or two. Very talented martial artist.

I hear this alot.
Having participated in Muay thai, mma, jiu jitsu and boxing
I can speak to them all.
The art of mma is how you combine them all.
People think its all aggression but its not.
Trust me aggression will only get you so far.

If you google find chuck norris this is what comes up "
  1. Google won't search for Chuck Norris because it knows you don't find Chuck Norris, he finds you. Your search - Chuck Norris - did not match any documents. Suggestions: Run, before he finds you."

Great thread! I practiced TKD and boxing at a gym, and wrestling in school for several years and received a blackbelt at 16, i moved and went to a grand rapids BJJ school that also did muay thai until i was 18. I did make it upto my purple belt after about 18 months, the instructor told me i was already very fluent. I got down with a lot of high level guys at the school in GR with really powerful striking compared to TKD. After i turned 18 i started doing the mma class, after about 6 months i took my first mma fight. A year after that i got my first loss after going 5-0. Snagged me in a nasty armbar i managed to escape but he finished me with an arm in guilotine since my out arms ligiments were blown. Gotta love it!

I'm not into mystical hogwash.
Science bitch!
If you were to lift and then move away from your bench at one foot per nano second.... You could look back with a (yet to be invented super telescope) And see yourself getting ready to leave your house. Because the speed of light refracts time so the faster you move the slower time goes. This is basic stuff you learn in like second grade, What you don't know is that ninjas can kick faster than the speed of light. That's how Einstein was killed, by a brutal mystical ninja kick to the testicles. I guess my point is... ninjas were the first to discover quantum foam. So have a little respect for the mystical ninjas who's karate chops can bend space and travel the helix of the fourth dimension of time. bongsmilie:eyesmoke::bigjoint:

lol. I was a bit harsh.
I grew up in the bruce lee, kung foo era.
All the secret death moves that can only be taught to senor dojo masters.
I bought in and was really kind of pissed when I discovered a 16 yr old with a season of wrestling
can simply throw them on their fucking head.

Its hard these days to sell bullshit.
Especially when some little dickhead keeps double legging you
because you skipped how to sprawl in search of the stink finger of doom.
