obsidian is a mod~
lol oh fuck.
Whatever. Its all in the aid of comedy. He knows I jest.
LOL'd~
It's all but about fun, I understand.
Regarding my post, Bleakness, I just want to be descriptive. Like I said, I don't know where to start with the amazing things that I've seen while watching this sport.
Though, I'm more of a technical fan than knockouts.
Classics, such as Karo "The Heat" Parisyan, is one. I love that guy.
For the meantime as I idly wait for the next PPV of UFC, I'm currently watching Strikeforce and is waiting for Alistair Overeem's fight. Should he able to beat the crap out of Fabricio Werdum (because I have a grudge against that faggot for beating Fedor), I'd be in an inexplicit joy. I-I don't know, really.
Oh, I can't wait~
Man I hate Karo! :D Glad he's history.
Not a fan of Werdum either, also hope Overeem Knocks him the F out.
Who you like in the Bones Jones vs Shogun fight?

Tony Jaa, a martial art talent of tremendous athleticism and robust physique, demonstrates one of the most physically-demanding and brutal forms of martial arts, Muay Thai, with a generous mix of acrobatic prowess, swift moves and physically-punishing lunges and charges.
Tony Jaa's performances caught the attention of Jackie Chan who invited him for a role in "Rush Hour 3", but Tony's involvement did not materialize due to other film commitment.
His starring roles are few but by no means unexemplary of his skills.

Royce Gracie. I learned everything about ground fighting from him. (Or at least my mafia sensai and him...)

Watching it right now~
So far, Cro Cop disappointed me. Schaub showed a great offense with his takedowns and avoided Cro Crop's kicks as much as possible.
Regarding Faber vs Wineland, oh my god I can't choose either of them. They're both good and are both champions. Literally.
Also, goodbye to your short-term championship, Rua~
Hei.... anyone here can execute a back handspring? Care to give tips?
Submitting the spider!

Exactly Jackie Chan has no Kung Fu. Hong Kong (China SARS) Citizens knows he was educated in "circus", his skills are just stunts but not real kungfu. In China "Drama" Academy, a Peking Opera School run by Master Yu Jim-yuen. Chan trained rigorously for the next decade, excelling in martial arts and acrobatics. <---
His "kungfu" is over-boost by USA media.
Notable:
Bruce Lee (李小龍) - Jeet Kune Do (Cowboy Bebop)
Hung Fist (洪拳)
Wing Chun (永春) - found by a young woman (Yim Wing Chun) for self-defense
Shaolin Kung Fu (少林功夫) - There's 2 types - Drama (acting/ showing/ stage-performance) and another is "Self-defense" for monks
There's more of them but I just list a few, Jackie Chan is a superstar but no real kung fu.
Reiterated from the first post...

A lot of his moves aren't really martial arts per se, as they are simply displays of great athleticism, agility and acrobatics, improvisation of props, his surroundings and situational scenarios, and a little screw loose in the head. Martial arts are truly fleshed out in direct confrontations with the opponents.
Perhaps a number people adhere to a definition of "real" martial arts practice as strictly being true to the core teachings. Others believe martial arts is never static, instead continue to evolve with combination of other forms or from a master's own personal style.
Jackie Chan is a great movie maker, that I can't agree more. True, Jackie Chan may neither be a master of a certain martial art discipline nor had complete formal training, to proclaim Jackie Chan having no/none/nada/zero/zilch martial arts skill is quite unfair.
Don't know exactly how comprehensive the martial arts training Jackie Chan had undergone during his stint with the opera school (as I can certainly say I wasn't there to witness his training). Perhaps only the basic strikes, blocks, dodges and weapons-handling essential for stage performances.
One form of martial arts Jackie Chan had displayed on screen would be the "drunken fist" form gloriously demonstrated in the Drunken Master films (I, II).
From James "AVGN" Rolfe's top 10 Jackie Chan stunt scenes (posted in the first post), here is #7, hanging from a helicopter ladder over the city skies of Kuala Lumpur in "Police Story 3: Super Cop".
The chopper "tour" begins at 7'24", but not before an adrenaline-gushing car chase – accompanied by Michelle Yeoh's character – after moustached baddie Yuen Wah's character and his henchmen from the start of the vid.
