Where MMA comes from is a matter of how far back in time you want to look, because at different times, there have been examples of cross discipline matches, bare knuckle matches, and teachers mixing, refining, and advancing a given martial art. By the trailer, this documentary is about how people had been thinking about the idea since the sixties, and from then how it came together.

I dont think he really wanted to be interviewed all that much! Maybe a little more fiber in his diet would help!

Discuss http://martialartsnomad.com/2011/10/09/chael-sonnen-thinks-martial-artsma-is-dead-discuss/ http://martialartsnomad.com/2011/10/09/chael-sonnen-thinks-martial-artsma-is-dead-discuss/#comments Sun, 09 Oct 2011 09:20:26 +0000 admin http://martialartsnomad.com/?p=2109 What is Chael talking about here? He may just be a guy with a big mouth, but when I saw this video, I thought for a second that maybe he is on to something.  What we know about martial arts came to us through Hollywood, or the Chinese version of it. MMA made Martial Arts evolve so much that what it is now hardly resembles what it was before MMA came along. Its good at least to stop and take stock of what we have all become in this day and age. Sonnen is basically saying there is no ‘martial arts’ in what he does, which he calls ‘fighting’. Maybe the dude has a point here.

They do bare knuckles, stick fighting, and then have fun with toys like a dustbuster battle, chairs, and computer keyboards.

Hmm, I wonder if they have any room down there? I am a PHP coder, I wonder if I could get down there and kick some dev butt. In tech, I have noticed that people’s lifestyles gravitate to one of two poles: they are either  vegan bike riders, or they are Jabba the Hut. Good to see these people considering the choices to make in their lives, and contemplating the meaning of the fight.

Meanwhile, his estranged brother, Brendan, a former MMA fighter unable to make ends meet as a public school teacher, returns to the amateur ring to provide for his family after being suspended from his day job. When Brendan’s unlikely rise as an underdog sets him on a collision course with Tommy, the two brothers must finally confront the forces that tore them apart, all the while waging the most intense, winner-takes-all battle of their lives.

UFC and Boost Mobile have teamed up to offer a contest for the rest of us working stiffs. Got an asshole co-worker that messes with your shit, or some job that is just plain shitty? You aint gettin no respect? DUDE! You can enter the contest UFC and Boost Mobile are offering to bring in a UFC fighter on your job. Who better than a battle hardened cage fighter to make people listen and respect you? Come to think of it, I could have used someone like Rich Franklin many times over in the workplace to straighten out jerk offs that pushed me around. Dana White could be on to something here.
