Martial Arts

I've heard that traditional, real muay thai fighters in Thailand grow out their hair because they aren't suppose to cut it until they lose a fight, so what's with the rope that they tie around their arm when they fight? What's the tradition, history, or reason behind that?

Please could you check out www.southportkarate.com.
The site has been up for a while and I feel it's looking old. Please can you provide me with feedback and some ideas. I only get about 10-15 hits a day, so bear this in mind in your ideas.

Thanks.

If he pulled the Crane technique right from the start, I'm betting on about a 5 second knockout.

I have been doing Tae Kwon Do at this one place for 8 years. Last december, i finally tested for my black belt. I didn't pass one of the requirements, so i went back to the gym to practice. During practice, I broke my ankle. After a test there is a thing called an "Extravaganza" where the martial artists show off their skills and receive their black belts. So, on crutches, we made up a skit and I went to Fargo. I knew that I wouldn't get my belt, and i was soo upset. But then, the president of the Northwest martial arts awarded me the belt for my courage to go up on stage. After that day, (In january), I quit. Before the black belt test, I bought a black belt certificate for about 300 dollars, and the master who owns and runs the gym that i train at isn't returning my calls or emails. what do I do? I've known these guys forever and this situation is making me feel really uncomfortable. Thanks to anyone who can respond.

This is in regards to "street" fighting. If you had to choose a weapon what would it be. I have a few requirements before you post. First it must not be a firearm. I do not life firearms, they lack creativity. Second it must not be something that results in everyone dieing. (no nuclear weapons, super explosives, poison gas clouds...) Third, it does not have to be a weapon of death, it can be a deception or misdirection style weapon or even a weapon used primarily to escape.

The guy is a joke! I can't believe they call him a black belt in BJJ. He couldn't even defend himself against Diego Sanchez (we won't even go there) and his other fights haven't been against anyone very good (Kit Cope, Alex Karalexis). He only got into the finals of Ultimate Fighter because Chris Leben got elbowed in the eye and the doctor ruled him unfit to continue. Anyone else's thoughts on Ken-Flo? Do you think the UFC is rigged?

Has there been a fighter that only trains himself without anyone by reading books and studying moves? I want to know if there is a fighter out there that accomplish his goals without a trainer by doing these?

Who here thinks that Ken Shamrock's image took a negative hit from his role as coach on The Ultimate Fighter, while Tito Ortiz's image got a boost.
