Gymnastics for MMA?

**maofas** · Posted On: 6/20/2010 12:09am

Here's footage of a local amateur fighter crosstraining in gymnastics to improve his flexibility & balance. I think this type of training could really benefit Anderson Silva. Does anyone know how to get a tape of this to him ASAP?

Oh god I think I am having an aneurysm just watching this! I love that the author of this video had to point out that he is not mentally ill. What a little bitch! Show of hands who wants to beat his ass just for this video?

On to technical critique I would have to say that
1. Gymnastics is a good activity and sport but there really isn't much direct crossover between it and MMA.
2. The woman working with him doesn't strike me as a professional gymnast or former gymnast for that matter.
3. The type of bouncing/force into straddle split training she was showing him is exactly how you should never train flexibility.

I do a little strength training at the gymnastics gym the local university runs when I get a chance. While most of the male gymnasts there are a bit y'know "faggish", they are indeed quite strong and flexible.

That foam pit is a little weird to fall into the first time but it's not that bad. I really feel for that lady trying to get that fuckhead to actually do some work once in his life. She was probably the only one the gym owner could get to work with him.

I also think the kid with the camera did exactly the right thing and I will chuckle at the shameful nature of the whole video later.

That kid will never ever make it in any sport or in life. As soon as he cant do something he starts to screem " its gay" i cant wait till he tries that in an MMA gym and gets his arm snapped.

He even whines when a that foam chair lands on his head, has nobody ever told him that he's going to get kneed and elbowed in the face in MMA?

kid needs to harden the **** up my 2 year old neice throws tantrums like that.

If the video we are all currenlty making fun of was all staged than this kid is a genius of a nearly Kaufman caliber. Otherwise he just is in severe need of a beating.

He isn't that good ... given time, though ...

Hate to break it to you but the videos are all scripted by Stephen (the freak-out kid). Still, he sells the act pretty well. It takes some fucking commitment to stick a remote up your ass.

I knew what was up, I just don't care, it's hilarious. IT'S REAL IF I WANT IT TO BE

P.S. And yes, Stephen is a VERY good actor, watch the one with the pickup truck.
