[QUOTE="BagwaZhang, post: 1344616, member: 18824"] [b]Hmmmmm[/b] I have to agree and disagree. I can't say that karate or kung fu is useless in a real fight. I'm no expert by any means. I train BagwZhang and Taiji, which both include Dim Mak. I've dabbled with submission fighting too. It's true that about 90% of fights go to the ground, but 100% start standing up.
