Why no sidekicks in mma

This also might be informative, the side kick is one of the moves taught in the combat sambo taught to the russian special forces. however it is only recommended for single uses in self defence situations and is not used in sport sambo. This seems to support the "good for quick self defence to untrained opponents, not good for ring battles and long fights, but then as stated before some MMA people use it, so looks like the argument with the strongest recommendation is that they are hard to use effectivly on a grapple trained opponent in a low stance .

Video of the proof is below, from "Human weapon" on the discovery channel. This ep was actually ok they went to the hand to hand training location for the actual russian spec-naz or special forces.

For some fucked reason I thought you ment sidekick as in "the lone rangers sidekick was tonto"

And then for an even more fucked up reason I was like "yeah,...why dont mma fighters have sidekicks?...good point bruh, very good point"


Best post yet :) Tag team MMA may be the way to go :icon_lol:
And everybody knows that the only reason Bruce Lee's sidekick was so good was because he started his career as a sidekick to Van Williams
