Davemantis Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Why is there so much negative feeling on the forum re martial arts All people want to do is slag off others. And when it gets to doing positive things no one wants to know??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaFoot Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I like to think I usually stay pretty unbiased. Unfortunatly there is a lot of *my style/club is better than yours* stuff going on. I guess people dont like to think they are wasting their time with their style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottf Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Well if they tried to stick to one or 2 threads it might help, rather than 1 thread for each type of punch thrown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeP Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 This is soemthing we've noticed from a Moderating / Admin point of view as well. It would be much nicer all around if people involved could agree to disagree sensibly, rather than get in to name calling and bickering - because that's the point we get invoilved. We've become aware of some distinct 'needle' between some posters, which makes the place unpleasant for others. Hope you can get it setttled!

cagn4y Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 being new to the forum i've noticed a lot of antagonistic posts already - some of the questions/statements are bound to be found provocative - the moment you start asking 'which is the best club?' or 'which is the best style?' there's bound to be some needle, but unfortunately it does seem to be common to specialised martial arts forums too. shame though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefkicker Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 being new to the forum i've noticed a lot of antagonistic posts already - some of the questions/statements are bound to be found provocative - the moment you start asking 'which is the best club?' or 'which is the best style?' there's bound to be some needle, but unfortunately it does seem to be common to specialised martial arts forums too. shame though I agree completely with all the above statements. Personally I'd like to think I make a lot of effort to "break down the barriers" so to speak. Examples: 1.I get on with Davemantis who does Kung FU (very different from sports based full contact styles that i am more interested in). 2. BJJ= I have regular contact with Royce Gracie BJJ. Many members of RGBJJ school train at AFK for their stand up. 3. Various Karate schools : Examples= Marsdens all styles, I have trained with the marsden brothers and taken my own students to their club too. There are other examples but my mind draws a blank so far,... All 3 of the above support my full contact events. The BJJ and the Kung Fu lot always book the best seats in the house at my events. Now when it comes to other clubs, there was once a couple of posters trying to stir up bad blood between AFK and Black Dragons. If they had any intelligence at all, the same people would realise that I have refereed on a regular basis and also actively manage fighters such as Lewis "The Eliminator" Stokes, Daniel Renshaw and also Richard Mayo. All 3 of the above are Black Dragons fighters and I enjoy a good working relationship with all of them. In fact 2 of the 3 named above introduced me to their respective families at the last show! I also get on very well with Black Dragons spokesperson Robert Kelsall and am looking forward to getting him a fair match soon. Sadly though, the work im doing for the sport gets pulled down by petty, jealous individuals who are trying their best to bring up barriers that really dont need to be there.

the_rage Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I agree with farahd, break down the barriers, with a karate chop a jujitsu throw or whatever. I have trained with Farahd, Marsdens, I also train bjj @ a particually good bjj club in sheff. All of these clubs are good in different ways. I enjoy training, why can't ppl gain experiences from other clubs with out the rivelry? I have even known ppl in the past train at 2 clubs and not tell their instructors that they go to the other club. because of this crazyness! anyway keep livin the martial arts dream.
