Mixed Martial Arts
First question: Does anyone do it? Myself I do BJJ (Brazilian Jujitsu), and thinking of doing Muay-Thai. I've also tried Western Kickboxing and Tai-Quan-Do with some grappling added to it.

Second question: Does anyone watch it? Which ones do you watch? UFC, WEC, Pride, Strikeforce, and any others (I know I'm missing another big one).
I personally watch WEC, and UFC is something I watch replays of on Youtube. My favorite fighter has to be Urijah Faber, and my favorite fight is probably Jose Aldo vs. Cub Swanson because it was well done and fast on Aldo's part. One quick flying knee and Swanson falls down, and Aldo runs in and pounds on him until the ref called it.
I used to wrestle in HS and then did some BJJ on open mat days (didn't have time to go 4 times a week) and now i have a black belt in couchpotato-do. I ought to get back into it :V

Anyhow, yeah i watch UFC now and then, used to watch Pride back in the day as well. I mostly follow specific fighters rather than promotions.

As for favorite fight, it's hard to say. Fedor vs Nogueira 1 & 2, Yoshihiro Takayama vs Don Frye, Art Jimmerson vs Royce Gracie....
I do kung-fu wich is a mix of kickboxing,taiquando,and judo.It involves many forms but thats not related,but ive never been taught many submissions but I know how to ground and pound(its quite easy)
I watch the Ufc the most mainly since it's the only one I can watch on television.
My favorite fight to date Guida vs Nick Diaz it was a great match
Your messed up world enthrills me
Im not a lover of martial arts,but in other way i like wrestling,i did alot of Wrestling fights at the school
Toribash,best game ever
I did jujitsu for a week or 2. got to yellow belt (didnt go for that long) didnt like how it was all self defense and stuff. i am a good wrestler. me and my freinds have like ufc fights with training gloves (thin boxing gloves) and we would fight each other. its fun but people always take it to seriously. its fun to do.Wouldnt want to ufc when older that thing is brutal lol

I regularly go to JuJitsu. It's a brilliant martial art.

same here marcoyeh. but i would really not do self defence more of a attack/self defence. in a fight you cant always block you need to no how to get the upperhand.

Never attack. Always defend. To get the 'upper hand' you just distract them like slap them quickly. Always throws them off.

but if someone is provoking you and really gets you mad and you hit them they will mess you up. a block will throw them off but in street fights that doesnt stop them. more attacking things let you get upper hand and take control. You need defence but you need alot of attack power in certain situations. some times you cant just walk away.

Exactly, so slap them then kick them in the nuts. When it's a situation like that there's every excuse to fight like that, because your primary need is to get away.
