obviously i meant u also need to learn the techniques first. i thought this was implied. learn all the techniques u want, if you dont spar, you = useless. this is a no brainer.

using ur body builder reference, sparring would be the act of lifting the weights. u can eat perfectly. you can sleep perfectly. you read a million books on lifting weights perfectly. you can shadow lift the weights all day long. but i u dont step foot in the gym and lift the fucking weight you're wasting your time. haha wow what a perfectly analogy. i rule.

btw, LOL

at putting bruce lee and ali even on this discussion. this is of ALL time. to be even considered you mus thave fought atleast someone that is alittle somethign more in their arsenal than just punches, or even fought someone at ALL. id nominate fedor since hes the epitomy of well-roundedness and hes fought fighters of every caliber, and every style.

The world's greatest fighter is Bernhard Goetz.

The real Charles Bronson. sweet. seems like we need more vigilantes running around. if every few days some mugger got shot, the place would be safer. if you dont mug, you dont get shot. sweet. sure, everyone could potentially just shot anyone. but I would bet that the guilty would suffer the most.

support vigilantes, they do what the law wont.

Bruce lee would get his ass kicked by just about anyone on that list, unless he was the star in the movie.

Only one fighter is referred to as "The Greatest", and that is the former Cassius Clay.

Do you honestly see Ali beating Fedor in a street fight?

Where does ANYONE Imply that NO sparring is a good Idea ? That would be just as Retarded as the Idiots that think you can spar every class . You CANT . (and no "Rolling" is NOT Sparring , its 0 Impact) in REAL MT schools no one is going Full Contact the weeks b4 a big bout ! The fact is theyre going a LOT moree like what ppl make fun of TKD McDojos for during those tmes . The Pads are where you Toughen up , and your Heavy Sparring is done AFTER a big bout to work on your deffeciencies , not before .

Lifting the Weights is akin to Drills with Progressive Resistance , NOT SPARRING . Sparring does NOT teach you to do techniques on Opponents successfully , it teaches you to think on your feet , strategize , not be afraid , and to keep your cool under pressure , all of wich is awesome , and TOTALLY NEEDED . In fact , without it training for fighting is impossible , but the problem is that though it may be Manditory in importance its not something you really need to spend most of your time doing . The fact is a bit of sparring goes a long way .

Shadowboxing/Formswork DO improve the combat abilities of the Fighter . In fact Jack Dempsey said that its the most IMportant thing that a Boxer can do in his training .
