Ahh...guess they are nondiscriminating drinkers, there is Jaeger in the vid.
I don't get the dub step stuff.
I kind doubt Neil Fallon or Oderus Urungus would approve either.

OD(erus) is dead to me!
You listening to it thru headphones or a good stereo? Listening through a PC's single speaker is like driving a car on just rims...

Don't confuse these guys with internal martial artists, this is ALL physical.

While at home, the laptop output is through a Bose 2.1 system. Good separation.
Where is the credibility in the ring?
Lol in that Shorinji Kempo not having competition but they match full contact(with helmets and other protection)in practice.
I've personally seen one teacher take down 3 of black belts same time..
And 1 of those three was special force guy who had 2 different martial arts black belts and were doing military stuff all over world.

There was a lot of acting in that video imo.
One thing I do like though are those strikes to the neck (even though that guy pulled his punches)
I'm not sure how long you've been a mma fan but do you by any chance remember Igor Vovchanchin? In his fight with Inoue he messed him up with the hammer fists to the neck. Here is a small sample of the fight, granted these shots were on the chin, but he hammered his neck during that fight also. It was brutal.

Just where do you think the mma guys learned their skills from??
I have nothing against Kempo but those guys were putting on a show.
To an extent yes.

Here is the thing. Martial arts are techniques developed to take out opponents. They weren't designed to get a submission, to score points or to win a contest.
They were designed to take out opponents.
There ARE martial arts out there that the techniques simply maim, kill etc..
In the past, this could be practiced and cultivated. Today, most of those that practice and cultivate these, (special forces, assassins, etc) you will never hear from or hear about.
So people get a jacked up perspective from tourneys or mma bouts or whatever.
brazilian jiu jitsu, for example, is an excellent martial art; however, on the street you would never want to purposely go in that close or take it to the ground or the next thing you know, you're bleeding out of your femoral artery.
In a controlled environment like the octagon, it is very effective, but against multiple opponents or in the street or in war, you want to avoid those techniques at all costs. It's great to know them, but they aren't the be all end all that many layman would like to believe.
sorry to slightly derail the funny pic gif thread, but having studied martial arts for 30+ years, and to have used it both in combat and in the streets (I have also studied BJJ from one of the greatest 'Cadu' btw) it gets my goat when people start saying that real martial arts should take heed to "REAL MARTIAL ARTS".
Those who have achieved some of the highest levels in martial arts tend to agree that there is merit in most of the martial arts out there and while proficiency in some martial arts is easier to attain or easier for smaller, lighter, heavier, slower (insert whatever) people, that doesn't make them superior martial arts except within those mentioned aspects.

Sure isn't Keno or Aikido.
Look for your self if you don't believe me.
Find real fighting from a sanctioned org that isn't some exhibition match that was staged.
I could be wrong. ..show me.
I know a little bit about this stuff myself.
What is "Cadu" btw?
edit: Nevermind I see now who Cadu is. You're from San Diego? You live in jiu-jitsu heaven. I have trained off and on with Lovato Jr. since 98. I have a brown belt under a Renato Taveres affiliate and have fought pro mma and trained with lots of greats.

yeah...
that part of my post wasn't really directed at you(although I realize I WAS quoting you)...It's awesome that you have that training and experience. I understand the merits of many different martial arts and I just hate it when people get into the "This is a REAL martial art" and that one isn't, especially when using contests and controlled bouts of individuals within those disciplines as the evidence for or against it.

p.s. I think the one HUGE advantage of BJJ over other current martial arts is that there are little or no studios giving out paper certs. You have to earn your belts and achievements. Those paper cert factories have done otherwise legitimate martial arts a disservice IMO. Sport martial art reconfigurations like with SPORT TKD have done the legitimacy of their martial arts a disservice also IMO.
