I'm really into greek yogurt these days. I know it's trendy and all but that shit is delicious and has like 13g of protein per serving.

Greek yoghurt rocks. I'm also crushing hard on quark right now (do you get that in the US? I looked but couldn't find it when I was there a few weeks ago); It's like 30g protein with basically trace carbs and fat in a tub which costs 80p, and it tastes like fucking awesome creamy fromage frais or something.

regarding krav and other 'self defense' nonsense... these people always say 'MMA is just for the ring, in the street there are no rules!!'

well, if you can't beat an MMA fighter *with* rules, what makes you think you can beat them *without* rules? trust me, anybody can eye gouge/headbutt/etc, but if you can't wrestle/control position you will get your shit pushed in by anybody who can.

and as far as learning gun/knife techniques, who do you think you are, chuck norris? a cast member of west side story? who gets in knife fights lol? that shit is for ponytail geeks who want to play army.

stick with the basics: wrestling, boxing, muay thai, and jiu jitsu. everything else will just make you think you can fight when you really can't.

Convenient that this thread came up now. Mah Dad was talking to me about signing up for some Krav Maga classes. He just came out of some heart surgery and is consolidatin' the various methods of getting ripped as fuck.

Krav Maga is not a "get ripped" martial art. Like you'd get pretty fit from it but not noticeably ripped or muscular or whatever.
It's a military self defence system and not rly suited for anything except surviving suicide attax in Israel or maybe escaping from a rapist. lol

Please keep him from having a disastrous midlife crisis and tell him to join a spinning or yoga class instead

Pretty much. Ten years of wrestling also colors my 'philosophy' about fighting. I basically never have problems dumping people on their head when necessary. But practicing formulated moves is pretty ineffective when they do something that doesn't adhere to 'how you drilled the move'.

[SergeantD]

^ thats why wrestlers are such good fighters-- they compete endlessly against real opponents that are resisting 100%, so they are used to adapting techniques to work when things don't go the way you drilled.

brb, lamenting that I didn't wrestle D1 so I could get a UFC contract after college.

[SergeantD]

brb missing out on 2k/2k contract to start
