Mountain Biking VS Tae Kwon Do

I've been considering taking Jiu Jitsu lessons at the gym. Unlimited
lessons for 25$ a month! You can't beat that. And if you're familiar
with the UFC and Royce Gracie, you know you can't beat Jiu Jitsu with
any other type of fighting be it boxing, wrestling, or TKD.

Of course the only time fighting would be involved with mountain biking
would be when JD is involved. {:-) Especially JD with a little "jd" in
him.

Jeeze! Don't encourage it.

I wouldn't exactly say that JJ is unbeatable.

It's a good fighting/grappling system but nothing is perfect and they
all have some sort of weakness.

Kirk, is there a 'care and feeding of troll' section in the newbie guide?

There should be one in the FAQ. Smack Matthew and tell him to get to
work! He's falling behind. Hasn't included the Boxing entry yet either.

Or the practitioner has some sort of weaknes. . . even Royce Gracie has
2 defeats, although the 1st loss came from a fight that never occurred,
they threw the towel in before the fight started due to injury from a
previous fight that night that he won.

I would say the weakness they all have is called the "puncher's chance"
they give people.

[censored]. . . Please define trolling. I was merely replying ON TOPIC to
the OP.

And as far as JD goes, he gives me [censored] about my polluting petro toys
so I figure he's fair game to give [censored] about his reputation for having
a hot head.

Beat it where? Are you a UFC Fighter? Are you constantly getting into
physical fights in the real world? Your name isn't Kip is it?

A couple of mouths ago a instructor walked to her car
after work and was beheaded. Took place in Waterfall Shopping
Center Waterford CT. Haven't lost my head to mtbing and then again I
don't cross loonies on a business deal or even get to close to them.

For the same reason that you didn't remove alt.mountain-bike from yours,
dude (or a.m.r for that matter).

And this considered opinion is based on
how many years of training in which fighting art?

I've only trained twentyfive plus years so I don't
know that much and your gym may be unique
but from what I've seen of gym martial arts classes
I would suggest you keep a bat handy if you're
thinking of self defense. Of course a trained fighter
could relieve you of it and use it to crack your skull open.

Maybe you should consider keeping your mouth shut.
Probably the best choice for a guy like you.

Hey, X, you looked outside? Finally a break in the weather.

I'll weigh in on the "cross-training" benefits argument. Tae Kwon Do's a
fine sport, if you like your sports mainly indoors, and geared toward
fast-twitch explosiveness over very short periods without appreciable
contact. No doubt training builds flexibility, improves reflexes, teaches
goal achievement, and might even get you out of a minor scrape if you're
really lucky.

But martial arts training by and large is not effective "cross-training" for
mountain-biking, except for some minor spill-over in terms of the better
balance you get that might help on a bike, a little bit in improved cardio,
and so on. But the fitness goals and results are not similar and somewhat
in competition with each other. I could go on and on, and I'm not dissing
tkd, or any martial arts, for that matter. They been very good to me in the
past. It's just a pretty far reach to claim that training in one makes
much difference in proficiency in the other. Can provide details and
examples if any offended parties want to get in my virtual face and demand
that I back up these brazen claims....😉

Classic! I was kind of thinking he's more like Hong Kong Fooey,
superhuman superguy because he's so ridiculous, it's cartoonish. A
real legend in his own mind, either way.

Judo will teach you how to fall off the bike better.

I'd agree with Fraser that if you do wipe out your experience as a uke
(throwee) might help you from taking a serious faceplant, and save some
broken bones. {:-)

Yeah I love the "If you're not a cage fighter you'd better shut up or
you'll get beat up" logic. The majority of martial arts practitioners
are lay people with regular jobs that do it for the discipline,
flexibility, and exercise benefits.

I do find competetion fuels better results from exercise. Like when I
take one dog out to play ball, it's lazy and jogs, but when both dogs
are going after it, its a full sprint the whole way, and I get alot
more energy run out of them.

I'm available to ride all week homeboy, so lets hook up.

Still having issues with your PCs at work? I'm available to do that
too.

Hey I'm not a fight-picker, if you want to talk to one of those, go
skidding down one of JD's trails. Then you can test your "twentyfive
plus years." I was interested in taking it because I am a fan of the
sport. It's the ultimate sport because there is no teammates to let
you down, and there aren't a bunch of rules to take advantage of (like
in boxing).

And for self defense it is wise to remember the following adage: "Don't
bring a knife(or a bat) to a gun fight."

Martial arts are useless nowadays as a mechanism of self defense, even
with striking and cutting weapons.

train in a martial art, you might as well train in the art that has
been proven in the UFC, Pancrase, King of the Cage, etc to be the most
effective.
