    Do you think the …
    Do you think the sidekick is very effective. Alot of MMA guys are saying that the side kick never works and isent good. But in China, the Sanda fighters are feared for their devistating sidekicks. Ask Shamerock if the sidekick works lol Also, I wanted to ask you… It seems like as traditional MA are dying out, so is the mindset, respect, honor. Lots of MMA guys have zero respect for anything… I cant stand it, many of them learn to hurt people, but never learn why… Makes me sick…

    I have a question …
    I have a question about bjj and wrestling. Is bjj not considerd wrestling? People are always like, “BJJ sucks! I do wrestling!” or vice versa. Isent wrestling like in High school, personally the only thing effective I see in HS wrestling is the double otr single leg takedowns. I think BJJ comming from Jujutsu which was devoloped by the samurai on the fuedul battle fields of Japan would be better than HS wrestling LOL

    in a nutshell, there was an argument here and all the people involved made up and removed their comments since things got out of hand and they decided it was time to be adults.

    its approved. if only you guys were in the same state, we could have a nice debate in person, just again, keep it civil (slonsky i am looking at you with your “he sure didnt teach you” comment), you two make good arguments and lets keep it about martial arts and not directed at each other.

    I enjoy reading your debate, just remember to keep it civil please and not let this turn into the 12 year olds cursing each other in the Affliction presser video. I thank you both for voicing your educated opinions though! Also I will be interviewing a Shuai Chiao instructor very soon and I will ask him about some of these topics you two are discussing, he might surprise us all and say something completely different!
