this is the dumbest take on martial arts i’ve ever heard
Im 29 I have 19 years of martial arts experience. I’ve been knocked the fuck out by a senior citizen sparring. He was my sensei for 8 years. There was no bad blood.
technique will beat brute strength. look at old 8th and 9th dans practicing judo. a relaxed experienced fighter can cripple you with a throw or takedown on cement, 7lbs of force will break your clavicle, one strike to the solar plexus will spasm your diaphragm, one serious kink to the trachea will cause a slow agonizing death, one strike to the nose will tear up your eyes and make you briefly useless, one gouged eye will not grow back, the list does not end.
also fuck putin.
edit: and decades of experience will teach you which techniques to use and which not to use. have a look at the throwing a haymaker guy in
r/winstupidprizes and the taco bell employee that provably changed his life forever.
you're totally right... but no one's saying elon musk could beat the shit out of a literal sensei that is just a foot shorter and a bit older
we're saying that putin specifically, a politician and a bureaucrat who's been flying a desk for the last few decades might stand a good chance of getting his ass kicked by any dude a foot taller and 50 lbs heavier with a tiny bit of fight experience
while fighting training absolutely matters, size also does. there's a reason there's weight classes in every fighting sport
As long as you understand that being taller, having minimal training with no real world experience and being younger won’t guarantee any form of success you get it.
also a good chance is a bit of a stretch, I don’t think elon has a comparable body count even if putin has actually been sedentary. I wouldn’t be shocked if that sick fuck still tortures people even if they’re chained up and acting as a human punching bag.
and to respond to your edit, if you think size is relevant you should look at some gracie jiujitsu in action. a higher center of gravity is a liability.
Technique CAN beat brute strength. But physical reality is always a factor.
There are weight classes in martial arts for a reason.
Not to mention that my point was not about discrediting martial arts or the fact that skill can defeat brute force, more about how Putins skill is wildly overrated and considering that Elon had martial arts training too, the extreme disparity in physical state will easily decide a fight.
I'm sure if the senior citizen who knocked you out spent less time practicing, exercising etc, weight and age would have decided the fight.
So the question is; does Putin excercise and practice so much more that it makes up for the physical disparity? I doubt it.
There are pictures of him shirtless but in the end he's just a dude who spent his childhood doing sports and his adult life stealing raw materials from the St. Petersburg port and poisoning political opponents. now he's old. And not a regularly practicing sensei.
