Most people train martial arts for self-elevation, self development and for health and fitness. If someone wants to be a professional bad ass they have to train to be a professional bad ass. These my guy can beat your guy riffs are a fucking bore.

Actually I don't mind ur pov, as at least you appear to know what u r talking about, which is deffo not the case of 85.
My impression of traditional Chinese stuff andmisplaced pride many locals feel about it goes way beyond martial arts btw

Winning a fight comes down to either a superior skill set or a matter of size or strength. I have a lot of respect for muay thai but no muay thai champion wants to fight an NFL lineman. And yes, there is a lot of woo woo within a lot of Chinese styles.

I don't thing that s true for heavyweight fighters but otherwise agree with it. I m into powerlifting btw, and If u have power but no speed, no explosiveness past the first couple of moves nor endurance neither much agility like many in the sport, it probAbly not very useful in a ring. But you hinted at all that in a previous post already.And yes,i suspect getting tackled by big pro football or rugby players must be a fight ending event for most people

Also, I have trained and sparred with a number of people of various disciplines through the years and have found that unless someone is on a professional track, the skill level (kung fu) is more typically inversely proportional to the propensity to want to actually fight. Most of the crap you see on You tube are wanna be fools.

The problem with someone that big, strong and athletic is you could land your best kick or punch and if that results in a smile, you've got a problem.

It's good to mix cardio and flexibility work in with your lifting...balance.

I think most people get into martial arts for self-defense and to learn how to fight. For health and fitness... people typically go to the gym, go biking, running, etc.
