Man vs. Dog

[glidesmack]

This isn't a who would win in a fight thread. What I'm wondering is why people supposedly value technique and knowledge in fighting, when fighting is a natural response in most animals and can be practiced but not taught or trained in any other animal besides humans. You can't teach a dog or any other non human animal to fight any other way than it naturally does. Why aren't humams the same? Are they? Occasionally a fighter comes along who seems to fight "naturally" with great success. Luscia Rjiker fought an opponent named chevelle something who seemed to have a natural style and almost overwhelmed Luscia.

IM FOLLOWING YOU IN EVERY POST YOU MAKE!!!.... just kiddin hah. i kinda get what you mean. i think thats why some people got it and some dont. Some people who become great have that great natural fighting instinct. People who respond and progress drastically and become those once in a blue moon elite fighter are the ones who have it. as humans our higher evolution allows us to fight in a more intelligent way. some fighters take advantage of it and some fight like ricky hatton. also take into account that this is a sport and not a life or death situation. we do it for hobby and self fulfillment and not to defend ourselves from saber tooth tigers. not sure if i really answered your question but there you go hah.

Styles and techniques are things that every one can use and learn from with out haveing to spend hours sparing with people before they can figure out what is most natural for them.

Though i think that if you took some one that knew nothing of boxing, tought them nothing and only had them spar for 30 mins a day everyday for a year. I think they would have a completely unique and unbeatable style that only that person can use. I mean all the little tid bits that the person has no idea about but their body just naturally reacts to there is no way to teach that to some one.

Like the people of the old days before head gear they would naturally move their head to the side when they needed to in order to avoid head butting when sparring. Its not that any one told them to, or that they knew when to they just knew that if they didnt do it at the right time they were getting a headache so their body did it for them

did the prehistoric man fight "naturally" as the animals did? no, what was natural to them was to take advantage of their environment, hence they used rocks and clubs before the spear and blades or hand-to-hand combat were invented. Do you think thats naturally fighting? I think so

you dumb. "before hand to hand combat was invented." You realize how ******ed that is?

with out rules bruce lee beats ali can we agree on that(eye gouging , nut shots and all)?

but bruce lee vrs ali boxing? im gonna say ali.

now why is that? boxing isnt fighting naturaly its boxing. in order to box naturaly lee would need to fight under those rules (aka box) and do whats not very natural for him: box naturaly (which hes not very good at when compared to ali)

umm to compare boxing to animals fighting is as wrong as it is comparing it to neanderthals though they both share the same idea i mean picking up a stone and throwing it at a big animal or throwing spears its just as natural as a dog biting another dog.

every action has a reaction and that reaction in turn becomes an action creating another reaction and many reactions coming together into one big action. every moment has an inheriently logial approach. you want food you see a mammoth you have a rock throw the rock, maybe i have a stick too make a spear, i have teeth, a tail, and im not very big how will i defend myself?

id say if your able to do keep everything you do logical for you with out having to think about it then you would probably act very naturally i think sparring under the rules of boxing would make you get good at doing things correctly with out having to think about them though i think a natural can lose to good tactics if he dosent have the heart
