would you agree that learning how to get out of an arm breaking move can prove effective in a real fight when someone is trying to indeed break your arm?
i can agree that real time experience can benefit an individual in fighting, but i'm just trying to see if you would agree that training for fighting does in fact benefit you in a fight.

I would never say that training has no value, of course. Quite the contrary.

I will agree to that, partially. You are really getting only maybe 25% of what is needed to be a good fighter. So much involves reactions to unknown opponents and different scenarios as well as other outside distractions. But a trained fighter who has street experience is the one who wins most of the time.
Also, I want to apologize if I made what you are doing in Thailand sound trivial, because it's not. You just got me angry. If you truly want to learn Muay Thai I don't know many people with enough balls to leave home and train in a steamy jungle. I just hope you never underestimate any of your opponents, female or small, because the proudest fighters always lose. I was taught something very important, there always is someone better than you out there.

True. First thing taught in MA's is avoid trouble first.

Honestly your shit Tenchu, you say this and that, you say “I believe this because someone told me it. Because my MASTER said it was true”. Boxing and Muay Thai are tool sports mad4e for a ring because they expect the other person not to hit them below the belt. In the past you even said that you believed in “rules”, no hitting below the belt, no groin shots, no guns, etc. You’re such a tool.
Arguing about what you believe to a total stranger.

I think we are all biased about what we think, maybe some don't push it as far as others. And aren't we all arguing with strangers here too? Tenchu's manner of writing is blunt and even annoying sometimes, but he at least looks at things from a different perspective once in awhile. I just can't stand someone who will only see one side of the debate.
And yes, Muay Thai is thought of more as a ring sport but it can be used successfully in a fight. Most fights are just punching and kicking anyway.
You did bring up some good points, but shutting down this thread is a bit much. If you see something you don't agree with point it out and state your opinion. I am always up for learning something, I don't know everything. And we all should stop giving one line answers to differing opinions. How can we understand the thinking in our opposite opinions?

It’s pathetic.

I and others on here are tired of you and Ronins “high and mighty” attitudes when really you’re nothing to this world.

I really don't have a lot to say about this as your post is mostly aimed at Tenchu...

However I think you're a bit of a hypocrite. You complain about our conduct then formulate a post for the sole purpose of flaming Tenchu? I mean the only relevant part of your post was the idea that anecdotal evidence does not prove a generalisation... which I agree with.

Furthermore I suggest you stop reading between the lines when I supposedly "flame". I usually only insult people in addition to the point I'm trying to make.

As for the topic at hand....

It's become ridiculuous. People are forgetting that this is a generalisation we're discussing and trying to use possible exceptions as evidence that the generalisation is not true. I've stated why I think experience but no formal training trumps formal training but no experience and I don't think my rational for believing such a generalisation is lacking.
