I think he's good.

Even though he lost to Crocop in 9/10 Pride Open Weight.
In fight between josh Barnett Vs Nogethia,
Acutally , I thought Josh would lose to Nogehia. It was amazing how he stand and escape nogehira's armbar.

I think he has the strongest guy in MMA. (It does not mean he's the best.) And He got Knee Bar from Nogehia 2 times. He has better wrestheling skill than Nogethia. He has good knee kick too. If there was more time like 30 sec. in 2nd round, he would win Nogehira by submission.

He 's all around fighter.Both good at standing and ground.
I think he needs to lose some weight around his abs and working on his boxing. Then, he could win Cropcop and Ferdo too.

I hear a lot of stuff about how ninjutsu sucks and how it is totally impractical, because the bujinkan don't believe in sparring. About how it is NO good in self def, about how it's just a total scam, etc... There are also people who say no it works really good, u just gotta get the right teacher and it's deadly. And those who say, well, US special ops and a lot of cops practice it, so it must be good, at least when u've got the jump on someone. I also hear a lot of muay thai guys mouthing off about how they can kick the crap out of long time practitioners, and ex practitioners talking about how fighters from other arts with little/no experience kicked the crap outta them when they had a huge amount of experience. So, whats the verdict on ninjutsu/taijutsu?

I'd like for people who actually know what they're talking about to answer this for me: Are there certain levels of the arts? I mean, if you could measure the degree of difficulty from one type of martial arts to another which one or ones would be considered the easiest to learn (like for beginners) and which ones would require more discipline? Also, how many different types of martial arts are there? (an estimate will do fine)

What are some good exercises and drills you can do with them? I've heard that boxers and martial artists use them to build power and condition their stomach muscles.

Most web-sites I look into have great replicas and all, but I care very little about the authenticity of this particular blade. Bassically, I just want to be able to win a sword fight. Modern materials are good, needs to be durable and very sharp.

I'm specifically looking for a katana, which seems to be the hardest to find without the makers pouring 90% of their effort into authenticity rather than functionality.

Any fighting style. It doesn't matter for this question. Take your pick. Maybe even street fighting if you choose. I once heard Larry Merchant (the boxing commentator from HBO) mention that short men actually have an advantage because it is easier to punch up rather than down. Also by punching up, more force can be generated. I am a short guy that thinks being short could be detrimental in a fight because of the reach factor.

i really want to get this book, but i am hesitant on how good it really is. so i wanted some honest feed back from the ppl who has the book.

how good is it? has it helped with your ima at all? (hsing yi or any other style) is it overly estimated due to it's place as a classic or is it the best book out there?

and finally, is it instructional book or is it insight to the little details that might farther already learned imaist? because i seen maybe books that touch on the basics and i usually get nothing out of the book.

You know in anime, movies, television, and all that jazz a highly trained person will throw a knife, dagger, or SOMETHING with a point?

When they throw it, the object never seems to spin around before it hits it's target. It stays straight the whole duration that it's in transit. Is this just movie hogwash, or is this actually physically possible? It seems impossible.
