No Bullshido - Real Fighting isn't Sport

More from world renowned real world combat expert Phil Elmore on the true nature of Bullshido.net. full article here http://www.themartialist.com/bullshidofaq.htm


No amount of "demanding proof" will help someone who lacks the mental ability to discuss something rationally. No amount of arguing will convince someone who is so entrenched in his sport and in his feelings of inadequacy that he believes all arguments must be settled by "throw-downs," "smack-downs," or brawls. No amount of posturing, no pretensions, and no insistence on the UFC worldview will change the fact that these represent willing evasions of reality that will help few earnest citizens achieve success in realistic self-defense. It is the sportfighters, the Bullshidoka, the angry children trapped in the bodies of cage fighters, who have something to prove – to you, and to themselves.

Don't play their games.

Fight unfairly.

Choose wisely.

The exception is sportfighters; the site is essentially a fan club for mixed martial arts (MMA), the current fad in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), and the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).
