WHAT?!?!? .... what do you mean its useless? Rank in martial arts is the same as rank in the military... its something you EARN and something to be PROUD of. Its not something you use like a pocket knife or an Ipod.

Im guessing you arent a black belt in anything, just a guess

Against matt hughes , spinning back kick . Why do you think he has good kicks and is quick .. Phone Post

Why do people even bother responding to that random_perv guy. He's either a huge troll or a really sad person... Either way not worth responding to. Phone Post

 Every chance I get.  Fuck GSP and his incredible athleticism, well-roundedness, and flawless work ethic.   He's bad for the sport.   We need more chunky guys who stand in the pocket and trade punches until somebody drops or until they gas out 4 minutes into the fight.

I believe you can do that at any Black Belt level IIRC.

A back kick that barely landed because his instructor didnt correct it. Rogan even had to give him tips to perfect the kick. Imo rogan throws it better too. Phone Post

Imo youve never trained , and probably never fought . Technique isnt always gonna be perfect in a fight ..

So what about that switch headkick he landed ? Was that sloppy ? What about the other back kicks he landed .. Phone Post

In many interviews Georges has credited his wrestling abilities to Karate. Timing/movement and capitalisation of your opponents mistakes epitomises karate, and GSP's style. Phone Post

 You can attempt the 100 man Kumite at any level but likely no one under black belt would try it. At GSP's age a third Dan should require 30 fights though. The rule is that you have to fight to grade unless 35yrs old or have a legit medical reason not to. Even then most people will be required to fight if they want the belt.

The funny part is you guys showed high lights from a old Hughes fight. Phone Post
