And JKD, please. I rather have a hockey enforcer who is actually used to fighting and who knows how it feels to eat a punch watching my back than any self proclaimed JKD "expert".

There are so many if’s and but’s when you discuss “Street fighting”. Everyone has their own beliefs about it and here is one of my reflections for what it is worth.
While I admit that I also think that boxing is limited in someways (use of kicks, knees, elbows and so on) it also has a big…no, huge advantage over many martial arts and styles. Boxers are used to train and fight with hard contact. There are so many blackbelts and highly graded martial artists that have no clue whatsoever of how they react when they are hit in the face with force. Every boxer that has ever stepped into the ring knows how it feels to get hit and how he/she reacts when facing an opponent that tries to knock you out for real. The experience of “real” fighting (contrary to light-contact or semi-contact, full-contact with helmets and pads and so on) is in my mind the most important, by far, “weapon” in a situation where you have to defend yourself. Boxing has gotten a rep of being limited but at the same time people tend to forget that it is one of the few fighting arts that has focused on “real” fighting. Boxing is a no bs fighting art. No secret techniques, no nonsense training,…no bs. Imo boxing as a “style”, as limited as it is in terms of “weapons”, is nowhere near as limited as…Say Jeet Kune Do, Taekwondo, many styles of Karate, Wing-Chun and many, many more. |

I think I had some Wing-Chun with lo-mein on the weekend. A little too spicy.

Didn't see the match, but read that Mayweather, after being grabbed around the neck, kicked Big Show in the groin, hit him with a steel folding chair, then put on some brass knuckles and delivered the "finishing blow." This was just about as ridiculous as the time they let Rey Mysterio Jr. beat up Kevin Nash.
Call me crazy, but I'm beginning to suspect that pro wrestling just might not be real...
