I was talking to my brother the other day and he told me that he just joined a UFC Gym (that's what it is actually called). So he was telling me what he was doing and I kept saying "yeah, we do that too" until he got very irritated and said "I thought you did karate"

Anyway, the thing that surprised me is that they have a proper syllabus and a kind of grading system (though I think it is more like continual evaluation rather than set gradings), where you get to do different things/fight different people based on the level you have achieved. Sounds familiar?

Do you think UFC is gonna be the way to go for the future as a 'traditional' (traditions gotta start somewhere I suppose) martial art?

PS: I promised my brother a sparring match when I'm there next but as that is not until May next year I guess he will have quit by then. Just the way he is...
