i guess there not as passonate i mean there they somtime choose brain over brawn asians are one of the smatest people on earth
Reply:Mostly because so few of them are competing in it. MMA is mostly a North American cultural event.
Reply:Not all martial arts came from asia. Only uneducated people such as yourself think only asian methods of self-defense are 'martial arts'. Well, the truth is, martial arts have been around since the dawn of civilization. And Asia wasn't the first civilized area, not even close.
Reply:Shaolin are buddist monks from China and would not expose themselves to public displays of entertainment
Reply:There are lots of good asian fighters, how about Kazushi "The Gracie Hunter" Sakuraba for one or Genki Sudo they are really good fighters, MMA isnt racist
Reply:U only can say most of China Kong Fu from ShaoLin. Why we dont show the face at MMA that because 2 reasons.


Firstly, kong fu is a very dangerous skill. But MMA most for show sth and it won't beark the arm or leg or make someone died.


Secondly, kong fu style fighting is jouk 1st then attack.The style different.

Reply:I don't know that all martial arts come from Asia. There are many cultures that contributed there own styles.





As far as why are Asians not winning the MMA events....I have no idea.
Reply:OK, there are events in Japan and China that are MMA events. You are watching UFC which features North and some South American competitors. It is popular over in the states as the fighting styles have their own arts. By the way there are fights over there with fewer rules and they don't stop when someone is bleeding. This does not make the better or worse, just different.


Martial arts did not come from one place, it developed in many areas over the world (egypt, India, Ireland, russia, japan, etc.)
Reply:Your VERY first assumption is incorrect. There are specific martial arts that come from Africa, Greece, Rome, Germany, Spain, England, and France just to give a few examples. And NONE of these had any original influence from Asia.


However, the thing that separates all of these martial arts from is their code of ethos. That same code of ethos is why the few real marital artists in Asia would NEVER subject themselves to the crude freak show of competition, effectively turning their honorific martial art into a sport art. THAT is why you will never see true martial arts with its bastard child called MMA.
