all those masters are BS ... it doesnt matter if you know 1000 different techniques... only a few of them will work in a fight, whether it be in the street or in a ring. and it doesnt matter if a guy has been practicing it for 40 years, because if he isnt an athelete, then he isnt worth squat.
you can have a master learn all his life get owned by a athelete who learned for a few years.
and when it comes to competition where there are rules, then certain martial arts wont work... like krav maga or philipino knife fighting is worthless in the ring no matter how it is effective on the street (it is) or on the battlefield.
i like jet li and jet li movies are some of my favs, but if you seen the one where he fights tito ortiz, randy couture and chuck liddel, its a joke... they made them like meat headed pro wrestlers... not realistic.
