Hey retard, when your drilling with someone who isn’t actually fighting you it’s a dick move to hit them hard and hurt them since they’re literally not in a position to defend to themselves or return the favor.

You are literally retarded and don’t train. On another note, if your training partner is a noob your don’t beat the hell out of them while they’re holding pads because they don’t know how to do it well yet. Not to mention the fact that OP literally said he was throwing random shit at the pad holder that wasn’t part of the drill.

I actually did skip most of the basics because they're so easy to do. Started throwing tornado kicks and wheel kicks like a month into training lel. I also literally started training because I watched the UFC and said FFS I could do better than these guys

Kek that's why. You don't have to be athletic to grapple. I did muay thai/kickboxing seriously for 5 years. I started out doing almost 10hrs a week for the first 2 years. I dialed it back later because I took up lifting. I was doing construction during the day, and I alternated lifting and muay thai 6 days a week
I was better in my 1st year than a few guys that had been training for 7. I spent 3hrs a night studying and watching the best do it

I said it because I’ve been doing martial arts long enough to know raging autists like OP who just want to windmill their arms at a sparring partner then get mad because an a instructor told them “no” are unpleasant to have around the gym.

This is objectively true you faggot in denial. Grappling is mostly technique, and when technique is paramount, athleticism comes second. Do you even think at all in your life?
>Meaning their practices and methods worked. How they taught produced “serious” athletes.
No, fighters going pro and competing has more to do with what market they're in and how many other venues of income people have access to. Its irritatingly difficult to go professional here because of extra regulations. I've seen numerous videos of "professional" fighters being complete trash. In fact I had intentions of going pro until I found out that
a) my coach wanted me to do full training camps when I don't have the time or energy (nor do I even need to)
b) the amateur competitions here said you can't go for KOs because of liability, which is incredibly gay and makes fighting pointless
c) fighting doesn't pay the bills until you get in large organizations
>I’m not here to anonymously tell the internet how great I am (unlike you) because that’s retarded and anyone can reasonably they say they don’t believe me.
You can't say you're great because you're clearly not
>I said it because I’ve been doing martial arts long enough to know raging autists like OP who just want to windmill their arms at a sparring partner then get mad because an a instructor told them “no” are unpleasant to have around the gym.

OP being an autist and the class being shit are two separate issues that can be simultaneously true. Just like you training but not knowing fucking shit can be simultaneously true.

This is true for striking too you double retard. Moreover when you’re fighting guys who are also skilled being athletic gives you an edge. Go look at Olympic level wrestler and judoka and tell me that athleticism isn’t important. I can’t believe you are actually trying to condescend to me about martial arts while saying physicality isn’t important in grappling.

Nobody is backpedaling, you still suck. I'm adding to the argument if anything. I have all the skill in the world to go pro, but it would be a pain in my ass to do it, and throws everything else I worked for out the window.

Is that supposed to be a gotcha moment or something? Like I don't care whether you believe I could go pro, you're still wrong
Like you said, you're not an elite kickboxer. I'm better than you

Neither of us are, I’m just honest about it. At this point I truly believe you THINK you wouldn’t need a training camp to go pro. Keep crying though.

You really don't have to be athletic for martial arts or combat sports you need good fundamentals and skill rather than athleticism.

Athleticism is mostly just physical capability. Athleticism is a good quality but its not everything and is a small factor.

I’m not arguing that it’s not secondary to good fundamentals, but as a competitor it’s an absolute necessity
>>119682
The importance of athleticism is directly correlated to how competitive you want to be. If you’re just a recreationalist it’s no big deal. If you want to compete a little it becomes a little more important. If you want to go pro you need to be a professional level athlete. I don’t know anyone who’s going to argue against this except the bizarre retard I was arguing with who thinks Olympic level wrestlers don’t need to be strong.

To turn pro? Pfft no. Local circuits are always garbage competition
To actually compete on a televised stage and win for a career? Yes obviously.
But would I fight professionals for fun without a training camp? Yeah I'd do that too, I'm not scared of getting hurt

To be fair, high school wrestling always struck me as very gay.

>literally pinning down a man on the floor
>literally having balls and butts in your face
It’a very strange.
Kinda like dance class. One time in middle school, everyone was required to take dance. You think “oh well maybe this’ll be cool! I can’t dance, so ok.”
No.
I kid you not, the ENTIRE class was teaching square dance, and Cotton Eyed Joe was the ONLY song we danced to. If there was another, then I fail to remember it.

You don't understand wrestling then. Wrestling is not just a sport. You play basketball you play football but you don't play wrestling.

Not him but there are a limited number of good moves you can do often. The rest are situational, or low % moves. It just makes sense to spend 95% of your time practicing the techniques that you use 95% of the time.

kids used to get these shirts that had chest padding because we thought that if a ball hit you in the chest between heartbeats you'd just instantly die lol
I thought it made sense because I saw it in a terminator movie or something like that, I'm not sure
when I played baseball I'm pretty sure I broke a finger once too, I was batting and I hit a triple off my index finger, that ball went pretty far and my finger was double the width for a good couple weeks
also another time in practice a kid took a pitch to the nose and blood was all over the place (pretty cool)
didn't stop me from playing but I don't play anymore although I wore a bitch face guard on my helmet for a couple years after that

Honestly that's not a terrible idea. Baseball players really could use some padding, we got hit and collided with stuff all the time.
My worst fear in little league was handling ground balls, because the fields we played on were incredibly neglected and it was anyone's guess where the ball was going to bounce once it hit the ground. I'd seen ground balls lay low before only to spike up in the air and hit fielder's in the face.
All I really needed was a pair of damn sunglasses though. I had talent, I'm telling you. If not for my bitch ass dad I could have been a star.

yeah I had one of those shirts for a while too, lol. but I never once got hit in the chest. I almost never got hit in the dick even though I wore a cup but I took a lot of bouncing grounders to the shins, or pitches to the shins, or someones cleats to my shins. I should have swapped the cup for shinguards, lol
I miss playing baseball man
