    Alot of discussion on which is better for street fighting. Traditional Martial Arts or Mixed Martial Arts. So here's a poll and just be honest.

    Who has won/ a fight on the street with TMA or MMA? NOT IN A CAGE OR IN A RING!!! 27 votes

    TMA WINS
    0% 0 votes
    TMA LOSSES
    40% 11 votes
    MMA WINS
    11% 3 votes
    MMA LOSSES
    48% 13 votes

    Well for this poll to make sense we all need to be singing from the same hymn sheet, so can you define what you mean by (a) Fight (b) win (c) loss (d) TMA (e) MMA ?

    My money is on Guile over Honda any day, but like all things it depends on the actual players, so I'm not sure what the point in a poll like this.

    I have won 36 seperate mma street fights, include several against multiple attackers with blades. Unfortunatly everyone who could possibley verify this

    1)died in those fights

    or

    2)don't have the the internet

    The real shame is the poll only allows me to vote once, so that will skew the results.

    (all of the above actually happened, i don't care what anyone thinks, you weren't there!)

    Can I vote on behalf of the karate-kitten who lost to the the grappler-cat..? :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 147 ✭✭dub1dude


    you can vote once but you can vote multiple choice.

    The poll is just for fun... to see if anyone really can say that MMA works better than TMA in an actual real life situation.

    dub1dude: Check out UFC/Pride FC style competitions.

    Have a good day.

    What if i had a peice of 3x2 in my hand - does that stil put me under TMA ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,994 ✭✭✭ambro25


    Does a .9 mil' or a 12-bore count under 'mixed' rules :D
    If so, tried and tested both in real-life sits. MMA gets my vote anyday LOL!

    Good news Mick there will be a knock on your door tomorrow at 6.05am and I have now been promoted following a great break into a series of unsolved fatal street fights were MMA tactics were employed :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,432 ✭✭✭vasch_ro


    maybe if people could outline what actually happened as well .......


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,693 ✭✭✭pma-ire


    It is'int that simple as which style is better!!

    The pole is not really gonna do anything but stir the ****e :rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 334 ✭✭TwoKingMick


    I agree with paul.

    I feel dirty.

    Also, i haven't been arrested, i think john was bluffing.

    I'd imagine there's only a handful of us on these here boards who could reliably keep our wits about us during an attack in order to actually use something that could be called 'karate' or 'bjj' or whatever.

    Unless you count 'smack-that-fu<ker-repeatedly-in-the-chops-do' as a legitimate MA, in which case, i've used it a couple of times.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,081 ✭✭✭Musashi


    I didn't know you had to pick all the applicable votes in the one go!! :(

    Wins and losses with both, "TMA" and Builder-Fu (I twatted a guy with a sewer cleaning rod back when I used to work on sites).Not sure elbow to nose counts as TMA,MMA or dirty boxing :D but you pick and we'll notch it up FTW!!

    Dub Dude, did you start this poll just to stir the ****e?? What is anecdotal evidence from such a small representative group gonna prove? We need to get on to Gallup or one of the politico analyst crews. We could have one of the papers run a survey for us even!! The Sun (we love it ,or Irelands Brightest daily mayhap?)

    What do the Oxford English Dictionary or Encyclopedia Britannica have to say on it?I'll accept no lesser resource ,such as WiKipedia, as certain proof.

    Where's the proof I ask ye,or where is the love y'all??
