As it happens I was forced to play the game for 5 years at school.

I'm also comfortable fighting 18st guys in a martial arts situation.

And I'm entitled to calmly give my opinion

then why do martail arts split down wieght groupings then

when i dabbled i would never of been allowed to compete against you not because of a gap in the skills but becuse of my height and weight advantaged it would of been an unfair fight

on the rugby pitch they normally get the little guy and put him in the centre of the scrum but then again its normally a little guy with wieght behind him

I don't train martial arts for the business of sport. I train for real fights. I can't pick the size of my assailant in the street so I need to train my techniques against opponents of all sizes.

For the purposes of sport, weight classes GENERALLY make fights more evenly matched, although as Royce Gracie proved at the inception of UFC, size and strength advantages don't automatically win you the fight.

thats all a bit off topic really

Do you live in a really dangerous area ? Why would anyone "train" for real fights, unless you go out looking for them...

Shouldn't you be training to defend yourself, I thought this was the principal, not so you can have 'real fights'.

nah, I like this thread.

i just dont get why anyone would train to fight, just incase someone attacked them - do you know the chances of being involved in a violent crime are less than 3% ?

I can just about understand the guys who train for the UFC/KFC fighting stuff, in the cage and that, (although it is really about 95% groping and 5% action), but training to fight with no real goals seems a bit

The main reason I hate rugby so much is that its so common to either stamp or tread on people. Bunch of thugs who like a ruck but aren't actually tough enough to get in a cage or a ring.



Not tough enough, you've obviously never played this sport at any decent level. To Stereotype like this truly shows you ignorance, and bias towards the sport you follow.
Talk about thugs I am a fan of the UFC, Boxing and combat sports in general but watching each season of TUF shows posturing testosterone every season out of the ring.
Based on the topic of this thread Should the Guy on TUF that bounced his house mates head off the concrete also get sent to prison Huh?

I'm told that sparring is the most fun you can have with your clothes on. My daughter will be learning how to fight. You know that Adam was mugged/beaten up by was it 3? people a few years ago yeah? I think it's quite understandable he doesn't want that to happen again.

I was training before that but it certainly made me move away from sport orientated techniques and concentrate on the physical and psychological elements of street violence.

self confidence
less likely to be bullied at school/work
less likely to be raped
less likely to be slapped about by husband/boyfriend.
etc etc

I got beat up by three guys once, one with a very heavy pool queue. I went to hospital, got patched up, went home, and thought "better stay away from that area in the future".

I didnt try to turn myself into Charles Bronson.

if this is what is going on behind the locked doors of suburbia then I would respectfully suggest that society is totally fucked, and that the fearmongers in fleet street and the broadcast media have won.
