And much more.

MMA is good and entertaining no doubt, but the people representing it like this guy give it a bad name.

Just thought I'd give you guys a heads up.

Cheers

yes its true but it didnt need to be brought up

I agree with JamesP and Bradda. I think allot of MMA fans/students hold ill will towards traditional martial arts, because for so many years they where telling us what they taught was affective, with out proving themselves through competition. I can tell my why I always tell my guy friends or younger guy cousins to take mma , its because young guys just want to learn how to fight and protect themselves it a primal thing. And allot of those mcodojos out there rob you for your money , and tell you they are going to teach you how to fight , with bullsh*t katas , and board breakings, and 100 dollar belt tests. I am so glad MMA and the UFC are big now , all those "traditional martial arts" mcdojos are loosing their customers, because the majority of people who are interested in martial arts want to learn how to fight for a street senario and like james said , nothing is closer to that than MMA.
me and James might get allot of thumbs down on here , but thats not because we are wrong , its because there is allot of bitter "traditonal martial artists" on here who are pissed they can't sucker young eager fighters out of their money.

i'm tired of leechers like Haroon, and yea you're making it worse

especialy because you're leeching

You are making it worse.

While MMA may be a sport, the fact is, it is also much more practical than other TMAs out there. As it encomposes all aspects of a real fight. The truth is MMA is the closest thing to a real street fight that is legal making it much less of a sport than something like soccer. While you may be mad that hes giving traditional martial arts a bad name, its because they don't work in the 21st century. Also in the start of the UFC there were no rules, it was all out real fights and TMA's didn't last at all, the gracie's dominated and won the ultimate fighting championship against all others using his brazilian jiu jitsu. And that was not sport, it was real fighting. Punching and kicking the air and breaking boards doesn't help prepare you for a real life fight and a real situation where you need to defend yourself. You need to actually spar and fight a resisting opponent to do that.
