Like I discussed your OP in good faith and dropped some solid material on a similar topic to expand on what you were talking about, and you didn't even respond. Why are Russian's so tough? Well, I have much insight on the topic, not that you noticed.

You aren't interested in having any discussion with the foremost fighting aficionado on the forum? Whatever dude, your loss.

[Speaker to Animals]

Okay, man. Whatever.

You did not discuss anything in good faith. You made a bunch of ridiculous claims, moved goal posts around and burned another interesting thread to the ground.

You want to talk about Russian toughness? No? Guess it's you making a bunch of ridiculous claims, moving the goal posts around and burning another interesting thread to the ground in bad faith. I tried to discuss it, but you don't deem me as worth discussing it with, yet you cared enough to begin a thread with that as the opener, as if you wanted to discuss it, but that was all a ruse I suppose.

I was hoping for some Russian/Sambo/Wrestling/Toughness discussion, like the dude in your OP video, but the guy who wanted to talk about it enough to start a thread about it, just a few days ago, doesn't even want to discuss it anymore.

If you watch up to the part where he is sparring with that European dude in the old fort, you can see how this Haitian fencing style has roots in West Africa like capoeira. He is using footwork that is very similar to the ginga.




African martial arts are highly underrated right now, in my opinion.

Completely different take on footwork.

Precision beats power and timing beats speed. Footwork is key, in sword fighting and hand to hand combat.

Yes, the greats have power with precision and timing.

Power matters a lot though. It's why we have weight classes.

Oh indeed. Power matters but if there is giant skill disparity, and the fighter with the power advantage is the one with the skill disadvantage, it usually doesn't win out aside from a puncher's chance.

Notice that the dude who popularized the phrase was a huge power puncher after he knocked out the greatest featherweight of all time in 13 seconds, for instance.

Brawlers that soak up punches are really fun to watch. They usually dont wind up with great records because they lose on points, but you never know when th hey will land for a KO

The Robbie Lawler's and Justin Gaethje's of the world are real gems, it is known.
