Well if not then you should at least try not to be critical of things of which you are uneducated, and further, stop trying to pick apart my words - just use a little common sense. Sorry I didn't bring my documented case log of martial arts phenomenon today, but yes, this has in fact happened. The number of "cases" is irrelevant, the cause and effect are understood - it's simple physiology.
Beyond all that though, your spectacularly uneducated statement regarding the effectiveness of hand techniques in boxing as compared to martial arts makes very clear your disgusting lack of knowledge on the topic - which does make me wonder why you are continuing to pontificate about it. If you honestly beleive that even a highly skilled boxer could hold a candle to a seasoned Shaolin or Aikidoka for example, you are sadly mistaken. So please, if you are going to continue trying to discuss this - at least do the rest of us the favor of at least reading up on what you're talking about since you clearly lack the experiential knowledge.
I'm sorry, but I think you're the ignorant one. You're basing the effectiveness of your arts off of what your instructors probably brainwashed you to believe and you fell into the mythical BS. If Shaolin, aikido etc. is so effective, then why is it EVERY single fighter limited to traditional arts like shaolin and aikido has been slaughtered when they get in the ring with a real fighter? Can you name me ONE that has even a decent record in professional NHB fighting? There's no point in trying to convince you here, because One-this is an AS board, and two-the only way to convince people like you what real effective fighting is about is by actually letting them test their techniques on a guy that actually knows what works with experience in the ring/cage and whatnot. Afterwards the ego is usually shattered, but they have a much clearer grasp of reality then.
