Author: SES [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:14:45 04/16/08 Wed Competition, Safety, unfair business practices, and Martial arts politics. These are the points about this post that I have questions about.... What new teams are out there making a strong effort to attract fighters, freelance coaches and clients to promote their gyms and better yet..compete? I'll admit Ringskilz has been out of it as a team but we are still help begining gyms get their feet wet and we have one or two original team mates fighting. What are some of the unsafe practices within MMA? What can we do to avoid them? Whats wrong with the more experienced trainers trying to warn the newer trainer's about these stumbling blocks? If you don't plan on fighting don't bother answering. What about fight contracts? If you don't know the laws concerning Management, promotion, cornerman duties and medical requirements; you'd better read up fighters. There are sharks in the water. Mixing Martial arts or Mixed Martial arts. One refers to a blending of styles for the sake of self-promotion of a self proclaimed background. The other refers to a Combat Sport that is commonly known as MMA. This sport has it's own set of rules and values that allow Two combatants to engage in a manner that is fair to both combatants.....My question is "Who gives a DAMN?!!" I'm not gonna tell what to cook in your oven, just don't be offended when you enter into a baking contest and don't win. Some people just have better goodies......I would've given you my 2 cents but with gas prices lately, I can't spare the change. SES [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
