What I've observed from WCL fights (compared to kickboxing ones) is that in WCL, both contestants keep charging more. It's almost a "lets see who falls first" or "lets see who can take more." It's good to watch.
But good God, what the **** was Chuck Norris thinking when he added teams???? Fight teams are fucking stupid.Read this for flexibility and injury prevention, this, this and this for supplementation, this on grip conditioning, and this on staph.

The street argument is retarded. BJJ is so much overkill for the street that its ridiculous. Unless you're the idiot that picks a fight with the high school wrestling team, barring knife or gun play, the opponent shouldn't make it past double leg + ground and pound - Osiris -

The WCL is predicated on the idea that defending yourself intelligently is for pussies. You get penalized points for lack of aggression, moving backwards, clinching, all kinds of crap. It turns every match into a 3 minute flailing slugfest.
On the plus side I saw a guy throw a 720 butterfly hook kick IN COMPETITION on there. So it's definitely got some entertaining ****.... -

Yeah but people take kicks to the head and it does not even affect them. They may be tougher than I am, but they are not that tough....even my wife laughs at it.
She says "Just let them try that on Gonzaga"....btw my wife rules.
ON TOP of that...it is only 3 minute rounds...that's it...you're done.Last edited by cyrijl; 6/12/2007 9:24am at . Reason: not enough ranting
