I am not talking about a bad knee of slipped disc, I am talking about severe chronic pain and brain damage, something that is the inevitable result of the kind of punishment they deal with.
#Helio gracie cause of death professional
Most professional MMA fighters with a few years in have severe debilitating injuries. I will be the sole responder who agrees with you that promotions like the UFC cross the line in terms of acceptable injury to fighters. I think I know the answer: maximum injury that won't result in death / legal problems. Clearly MMA had to decide on a tolerable level of violence between "no competition" and "fight to the death." I just wonder how that point of acceptable violence came to be what it is-from the article, broken eye sockets and arms aren't enough to call a fight. And, as a pacifist, I was okay with that because they were taught as forms, and the art is not practiced in competition. I trained for a while in a style that taught techniques designed to kill. Every time I see it, I kind of get a sick feeling like I'm watching some kind of Roman spectacle. I can't say I like the direction MMA has gone here. And now we have MMA that is a sport that tolerates fairly severe injury of combatants. Then Gracie jujitsu decided to re-brutalize judo. Aikido focussed on making a purely defensive art. Judo focused on making a very safe art that could be applied full-intensity in a sporting context. The traditional jujitsu ryu had lots of maming / killing techniques, which have been taken out and readded depending on the art: It's strange to see what the various jujitsu-descended arts choose as their comfort level with injury.
