Why can't some sorry excuses for Martial Artists accept the truth?

It's funny you would bring this up.

I use the example of medicine and healing.

There are doctors who are employing alternatives to allopathic medicine and are actually healing people, yet the allopathic community refuses to accept this reality. A woman in Mexico has a clinic where Americans can go and be put through an all natural, organic regimen and cancers suddenly go away. People who tested HIV positive no longer have any trace of disease of any type. But again, the orthodox medical community refuses to admit that these people are healed. Diabetes is curable, Herpes... ANY disease is curable.

But they ignore the healing that has taken place and try to give an explanation.

How does this relate to martial arts?

To begin with, ALL of the techniques used in MMA come from the Classical Martial Arts. Anyone who denies this is ignorant and has never trained with a PROPER instructor. Someone who can actually break down the vast amount of techniques within the kata.

So because you don't have a true understanding of REAL martial arts, you think your argument is valid. You associate all the GARBAGE that is being taught with true martial arts. This is very shallow of you. It shows you as a person with no real experience. You have a shallow understanding of something, and you expect it to be taken as "empirical".

The only way you can make your claim is if you have exhaustively researched and trained in the best of the best, and proven yourself, that what you are saying is valid and reliable.

Otherwise, grow up.

Darth Scandalous should not talk about medicine if he has no understanding of the sciences involved. If you want to talk about medicine know your anatomy, really know your physiology, really know your microbiology, know your statistics, really know your biochemistry. If you don't know what reverse transcriptase is and how it works your words are completely meaningless. Do you even know the different types of diabetes that exist? A few types have always been curable. Therefore that entire argument is faulty. Why do you even mention MMA here?

The first answer is buffoonish and completely ignores and deflects the question by telling the asker he spends too much time on the net. Ad hominem to make up for a lack of counter argument.

I agree with the asker. If are going to make a claim about the deadliness of a technique, have some evidence to back it up. Even anecdotal evidence is better than nothing. An example of the bullshit that's spread around in martial arts schools, "You can palm strike a man and kill them by driving their nose cartilage into the brain". Asking for proof ends this garbage.

I don't know who you are speaking about. Often I see a counter argument on here as not being that great of evidence. It is common on here that people will use wikipedia as evidence. They will use youtube as evidence. Many will use the UKC as evidence. None of those are great sources to use as evidence. They don't prove much of anything. That is only making a comparison like that of apple and oranges. Both are good for the body. Both are fruit. But they are different. They provide some of the same nutrients but not all the same. Are apples better than oranges or oranges better than apples? The both are good for their specif purposes.

I'm somewhat glad that lethal force applications are not known or even believed by the mass human community on this planet. Makes my job a lot easier and safer.

LMFAO

You never took any martial arts at all I take it. Perhapes you should try atually training at a real school instead of sitting on the internet all day like a fanboy.

What is he even trying to argue? Sounds like he should be in the religious section

The material world is just an illusion.

millions of people have successful used martial arts and still do,

if you cant get the style to work then its 100% your fault.

if you cant get the style to work the defect is in you. your parents need to exchange you for a child that isn't so defective.

You should spend sometime outside, you are on the computer too much.

because people like you dont show respect you fail to see past your own ego
