Bear witness to our ascension budI'm beginning to think I have a serious mental disorder for posting in here.

I'd be more interesting seeing how the average MMA fighter deals with a sabre duel.
LOL that cossak stuff looks like horesehit and the fact that it ressembles bagua and tai chi is not exactly a selling point, haha.
Seriously, the former USSR is GOAT in combat sports, why do you search for the fringe, ridiculous shit that some larpers are trying to recreate?
BTW if you want a dance for conditioning I will take the Caucasian lezginka (the GOAT dance IMO) any day of the week over that trash.
I began my training with sparring and full resistance competition with Judo, and have maintained a realistic approach to training since then.
Unlike yourself, who spent years training to sneak around in a Ninja constume.

So you're not one to talk.
Ballet?Thats why its so funny. I started out in TMA & Ballett...
Sounds alot like the exact same talk we here from the Krav Maga and Systema guys...you lose the right to criticize them now.Btw the Ninjutsu we did was lead by a former irish soldier. Back then it was UK/Irish heavy with soldiers and as the stand up punching was crap, the conditioning and Judo was elite level. I never again trained this hard in my life. We did our rolls all the time while running no matter concrete or whatever so as funny Nunjutsu sounds it really was the best basic fundament to develop on but it has nothing to do with whats been done nowadays and in the US with the Japanese joke of a Honbu Dojo. Even back then 95% was crap. Organisation was BBD back then.

You are correct it sounds like that. And the stand up was pure crap but I am ok if people laugh about it. A lot was quite funny.Sounds alot like the exact same talk we here from the Krav Maga and Systema guys...you lose the right to criticize them now.
Yep. Ballet.Ballet?
Ok I will say one thing:Yep. Ballet.

Ok I will say one thing:
Props to you for having the balls to come onto sherdog and admit that you used to train ballet.
Myself and @AndyMaBobs have had this conversation numerous times. Ballet is no joke, do you think there is any fighter on the planet who is as physically fine tuned as a guy like this, with near flawless balance and completely functional muscles not affected by bulk of them or any issues with cardio because of them?
If you could teach a professional ballet dancer how to do MMA you'd likely have one of the greatest finely tuned combat machines ever made.
Far more realistic as a goal than your views of WC being too dangerous for the ring.
It just seems comical that you continue to deride people who have actually trained and fought, while your entire training history consists of doing a bit of training in a few martial arts and then playing touch butt at the park with an MMA fighter while claiming you winded him with a palm strike. If he was any form of quality fighter you wouldn't have winded him with a round house kick to his stomach while he read "Antiques Road Show the Magazine".
I believe at one stage Andymabobs even invited you to come and spar one of his guys, but you feared going along because of a set up. Something that is completely farcical considering Andy is a professional coach who wasn't going to stake his professional reputation on "Setting up" some windbag from a karate forum. You've never really fought or competed, for all intensive purposes you are simply a coward who is afraid to test themselves for fear of being proven wrong in their own mind.
In reality, the only people who would snicker at Ballet are guys who don't understand that those ballet guys? They're smashing the ballet chicks which outnumber them 4 to 1. Nothing wrong with doing ballet and getting to fuck finely tuned and flexible athletic women.
And yet here we are in a topic YOU started about Cossack Dance fighting? the irony.
I'd sooner take someone who walked through the door and said they had 10 years of ballet training under their belt over someone who did some Cossack Cosplay dance fighting and moonlit as a sticky hands practitioner.
Lets not forget that Bruce Lee was a competitive Cha Cha dancer AND a professional dance instructor when he moved to the USA. Maybe we should incorporate that with a bit of Wing Chun and Jeet Kune Do for the ultimate illegal street fighting martial art.

Ballet's probably one of the better bases have when migrating to combat sports. Balance, flexibility, coordination all at a higher rate than most combat sports hobbyists will ever see....actually even fighters as well.Ok I will say one thing:

Edit: Bonus Footage of @TheMaster using WC in a realistic and true setting
Dancers have been the fastest to pick up striking arts in my experience. I’ve taught boxing to people with experience in damn near every sport out there and dancers are far and away the easiest to train. They’ve spent all that time watching and mimicking movement so their mind/body connection is solidBallet's probably one of the better bases have when migrating to combat sports.

The few I know who came frome there picked up striking at an exponential rate compared to regular students and long time grapplers coming over
Yeah, and you seem to have a thing for them as well.Ballet is no joke, do you think there is any fighter on the planet who is as physically fine tuned as a guy like this, with near flawless balance and completely functional muscles not affected by bulk of them or any issues with cardio because of them?

I never said WC is too dangerous for the ring, we had like a thousand page thread about this already, I'd like to see it more in combat sports. The way the majority of them train,they would get their asses kicked in or outside of the ring by most decent boxers or Judoka.Far more realistic as a goal than your views of WC being too dangerous for the ring.
Where did this rant suddenly come from, are you on your period or something?It just seems comical that you continue to deride people who have actually trained and fought, while your entire training history consists of doing a bit of training in a few martial arts and then playing touch butt at the park with an MMA fighter while claiming you winded him with a palm strike.

Yes Bruce Lee was a Cha Cha dancer and another famous guy was a ballet dancer.And yet here we are in a topic YOU started about Cossack Dance fighting? the irony.

Its true but I dont really care about that. Was in ballet from being 6years old onwards so I dealt with this as a very young child and even back then I didnt give a crap about it. Today is a "I am offended culture so cancel him" at play but to me its much more important to allow people free speech even if its likeLet’s not forget how shitty and homophobic guys come across for the “hahaha you did a
Thing that girls are supposed to do, not boys!!!”
no one is trying to cancel you, you goof. You broke a forum rule and got a single yellow card.Well not sure if it was the ballet comment but I got my first yellow here in 20 years lol.
And definately nothing out of the ordinary in my posts or particularly provocative.
I guess cancel culture is real.

But I don't see your problem with the Cossack dance.
I mean you just raved about the benefits of Ballet, and Hopak has its benefits as well and is also tied to an actual military tradition.
