Does anybody think?

Question

that ball sports such as,basketbal,baseball,football

are harder to get good at then fighting for the simple fact not just anybody can play but in fighting anyone can swing rapidly and beat an opponent whats your opinion?

Answer 1

I would really like to see someone to just swing rapidly and try to beat me.

Answer 2

swing at me rapidly and watch what happens.

Answer 3

No. Anyone can punch, kick, throw a ball, run, etc. However, the trick is doing any of those things well and in harmony with other facets of your game, sport, or discipline.

Just 'cause you can punch rapidly doesn't mean you stand a chance in h**l against a competent fighter. Just because you can shoot hoops doesn't mean you're NBA material. See what I mean?

Answer 4

Actually, if you are talking about martial arts, ball sports are easier. It takes years to master arts. Baseball is something someone can catch on in maybe a month or 2. Now you bring up wildly swinging, street fighting basically. Anyone can do that. Its not really something you learn, its natural instinct.

Answer 5

it all depends on the person, like me I SUCK AT SPORTS(excluding martial arts) but if some one were too "swing" at me they would leave severly bruised!

Answer 6

They are no different from each other, you have to learn complicated motor skills in any of the sports as you do with MA.  The biggest difference with individual sports and team sports is that in team sports, if you are having an off day your team can 'carry' you or you can be substituted.  In individual sports, if you have an off day you are going to get knock on your butt.

As for the swinging rapidly part, your right anyone can 'windmill'.  However to time those punches with speed and accuracy is a different kettle of fish.  And the most important part of fighting sports (at least for me) is to make the opponent miss by good movement and footwork.  That is where the real skill lies!

Answer 7

yes. coming from someone who could whoop some A** but couldnt throw a pass or make a basket it my life depended on it.

Answer 8

Well I'm pretty good at the Hundred yard dash. So anyone who can swing rapidly has to catch me first to beat me : P

Answer 9

anybody can just run fast with  football in thier hand or, tackle somebody straight on, or swing and aluminum bat if ur athletic enough to do a combat sport u can usualy be decant at basketball, baseball, and football bc they are all just about the same in difficulty, in football u might need to know some more plays, and be willing to take a hit or 2, basketball, and baseball require more technique's rather then brute force ( i have played each of the sports since 5 grade), however  those sports are played with other people on ur team so it ur comparing apples to oranges really, in a fighting sport ( wrestling, boxing, judo, tkd) its all on u so it requires a grader degree in preparation in all aspects of the game, fitness, technqiue, and game plan,
