MMA/Combat sports need to be banned. Posted: 12/7/2008 12:26:19 AM | | Many forms of martial arts originated as forms of self defense in the fudel era of japan and china. Some forms of martial arts were ways of spiritual enlightenment. Since wars are fought differently now days with long range weapons the use of martial arts is no longer needed as much. So now they have been adapted for self defense. Personally I see nothing wrong with MMA. There are plenty of rules to protect the fighters from serious harm. Take the time to really watch a few MMA matches and you will see that. Pay attention to the slip ups, what the referee's say and you will notice what I and many others have been talking about. Yes it can get brutal sometimes but the fighters have plenty of respect for eachother and would never intentionally hurt another fighter seriously. Granted there are some bad apples in it, the majority of them are there to test themselves. The training they do pushes them for months at a time. Finally when the fight comes up its time to test their training and skills. If you dont agree with it then dont watch it. But for those of us who like to watch MMA matches, dont ruin it for us with your whineing. Just get over it and let it go already. | | | |
