(it hurts like hell you admit) you: let go of me Mr. Miyagi , you pervert, go wax's yourself off or something. muay thai teacher : : touch this pressure point it will weaken your opponent ( points at your face and throws a swift elbows at it, crushing your nose in).

When you look at the people that are thought to be the best fighters in the world , fedor emelianenko, anderson silva, George saint pierre. they don't do "karate" aka "cardio for kids", they do full contact , hardcore fighting styles. Don't get me wrong a well trained fighter of any style can beat a untrained fighter. Kids all around the country go to karate and taekwondo classes , .... but guess what , we do not have a world full of well trained fighters, but trust me if you put a kid in boxing or kickboxing type classes for the same amount of time, he can usually destroy untrained kids of his age group. these martial art styles teach you not only how to dish out pain but how to take it, something a lot of the kiddy types don't teach. If you have never tried mixed martial arts( muay Thai and bbj mostly) you should .
