Traditional Martial Arts Training

Im a bit tired of people thinking that their MMA style is the most ultimate and greatest! MMA is cool to watch and it has effective tactics to fight against, but it is a sport stylized martial arts traditional martial arts training with the most restrictions and rules were created to protect and kill in life or death. So it put me to my question about if a teacher were MMA fight against a master of traditional martial arts (karate, kung fu, etc.), which do you think win and kill his opponets easily? and why?

I consider MMA a sport, not a real martial art. Very few martial arts are real martial arts fighting that is taught to kill an opponent. Even if it comes down to the person, I believe a true martial artist (traditional martial artist ") would win.

Someone Like Bruce Lee or Chuck Norris would win easily!

Chuck Norris

I have heard many guys say that MMA is their struggle to help them win, but died in a match:

I would take a master like Bruce Lee on ANY person living today to fight to the death. At 160 pounds, the man was very strong.

Yes, I can hear the thumbs down by clicking on the moment, but I bet it's true.

It is difficult to depend on who is hunting .. both uses martial arts, so it's really someone to match. I think the martial arts tradition might have an advantage because in the old days, you fight to kill.

MMA is just a group of traditional martial arts in a ... then MMA would likely win

MMA will win. Just because they follow the rules in the cage, does not mean they have a real fight.

MMA can handle all situations, and responding to various attacks and comments. They'll sleep and you're done without you feeling ...

MMA will dominate at any time anyday of the week .... cuase martial arts is all about the attack feet ... as soon as this fight goes to ground against a mma "master", he will floor juice and the butt of his book to the death, hands down

I think that in a street fight, MMA would someone destroy a traditional martial artist, but if it was as a sanction fight where both were free to do anything ... so I continue to say about himself. Although I'd probably put my money on MMA. Martial Artists are good fighters, and deserve respect, they are very disciplined and patient. But in all honesty, I think they are getting killed.

Hand in hand I would have to think a MMA fighter would win because of his ability to make moves and styles that are better used against specific styles. However, many martial arts are not pure melee. Give someone who knows Tae Kwon Do a pole and we'll see how well Brock Lesner holds up:)

Someone like Thomas LaPuppet, Fred Wren, Joe Lewis, Bill Wallace or Ron Marchini would win because people do not know their MMA kata.

No, because they are not real people.

If you talk about people, and it really depends on the person.

which depend on the fighters.

they are used, how many times they do, the state of mind ... etc.

MMA .... .... sorry but its been tried .... There were several traditional "masters" who have tried there luck in no holds barred matches .... and they have all been quickly defeated ....
I respect anyone who trains for nothing .... But we must be realistic .... Moreover, recall that the techniques used in MMA, were taken from the traditional arts ....

I'm tired of people like you asking these questions over. What classify it as a traditional art? Muay Thai is as old as karate and kung fu fight back before. Just because there are no belts or IM color worn (btw that were not used after WW2) does not mean its not traditional. Y.
