I said the rules greatly matter in a martial arts competition, but you are right, the refereees matter more.

LOL!
Good stuff guys! Well, I set the circumstances here purposely for Snake-Eyes to get knocked down a "few pegs" and maybe even get handed his comeuppance so to speak. If Torpedo was a "master of three black belts" at age 19, and he is in his 30's by the time of this matchup then conversely take Snake-Eyes with the concept of probably getting a ninja "crash course" in a variety of dozen or so martial arts. But his experience alone in any one in particular martial art system...would probably be lacking so to speak. Also the ref might give Torpedo a slight biased favorite based on...thats what referees do! lol |

The thing with martial arts competitions is that the rules really matter. There were a couple of shows, Fight Quest and the Human Weapon, were two fighters would travel to different countries, take a crash course in a martial arts discipline, then compete against an experienced fighter in that style. The visitors almost always lost because they were contained to that one style. Think of a wrestler trying to compete in Wing Chum without using wrestling techniques.
If the contest allowed Snake Eyes to choose any non grappling art, I am sure he has enough in his repertoire (master of 12 martial arts not including ninjitsu) to take Torpedo. Hhowever, if they just fought Kenpo rules (which Torpedo has mastered), and Snake Eyes has no experience in it, Torpedo has a shot. Quote:
Anyone who's a "master of three black belts" at age 19 probably may as well have gotten them by sending in cereal box tops. It sounds amazing to a preteen kid in the 1980's (it totally did), but once you know a bit of the reality you know most "black belts" are barely worth the cloth they're made out of. Did you spend enough money at my dojo and attend enough classes? Congratulations, you're a black belt!
