This note reminds me of the “noble savage” trope.

The people who want to answer their call as warriors “on the battlefield” join the military, police or become gang members. And they usually SUCK at fighting.

They all end up as pawns used to oppress their own communities, enforce unjust laws and become complicit in the subjugation of other nation states while either being under the delusion they’re fighting for “their” people. There is no way at scale to do that in America today (other than buying Bitcoin imo).

I do find it funny how people in insular and ineffective martial arts think MMA is a nerfed form of combat when in fact it is the market outcome of pitting all the martial against one an other and letting the best wholistic approach to killing another human with your bare hands develop organically. There are basic rules in MMA but all MMA fighters know exactly what they can do outside of the rule set in a real combat situation to kill someone even faster. As trained killers they do have the presence of mind not to break the rules in sanctioned bouts eg knees to a grounded opponent, elbows to the back of the skull (TDD) etc but will do so readily in a serious combat situation.

Sorry Jay, but an average MMA fighter will mop the floor with the decorated dojo dork 10/10 times. No need to argue this fact, it’s been proven irl so many times already.

MMA is PoW. Limited combat martial arts are PoS.
