Nope. The point of KM is that it’s not elite, that it can get an army ready in 12 weeks.

UFC fighters are elite athletes who train on a level average people never will. There is no top KM guy except for instructors. The point of KM was to make it accessible to all, especially 18 year olds who need to fight for Israel. It often gets watered down elsewhere. (And also, it’s heavily licensed in the US, which is another issue).

Comparing a UFC (pro) fighter to someone attending a KM or MMA gym as a hobby is like comparing Mahomes to a teenage girl playing flag football.

KM also brings in other elements for civilians and LEOs, like weapons training. It’s therefore an ever-evolving system, not a static one.

And don’t judge a book by its cover 😉 I did this shit back in the day when there was nothing but UFC 10, girls weren’t doing this, and no one had even heard of MMA. It’s come a long way. But KM has also had its issues. Many people say they do and teach it, but if they do in reality is another story.

I have a fighting and car racing ego that used to like to go into gyms and punch the “best” man on the nose while sparring and race the guy with a bigger engine. I’ve mellowed. 😆
