Pressure points aren't working on the thing. Cap has every chance of winning if he gets lucky, but he is NOT pulling a majority. Most brutes cap goes toe to toe with aren't experienced great fighters like ben. Caps only taking 3/10
Thing has the mits and reaction time to grab the shield out of the air. Once that happens cap is doomed.
Originally posted by golem370people in the army cant fight, and i doubt his wrestling is anything near as impressive as the caps, this fight comes down to who can run faster, because if cap gets hit a few times hes out like a light.
Well he had army training and wrestling training and as you said boxing training. http://spider-bob.com/heroes/marvel/ThingII.htm

Not sure where you fabricated that from. Army, Marines etc all can fight. Each even usually has their own typically fighting style. Even some other Marvel characters like Moon Knight and Punisher got their starts fighting in the Special Forces
Well personally I don't think everyone can fight. Nowadays most train to use guns, explosives, recon, drive tanks, use artillery. How many actually train to box. fight. I'm just saying that the army gives you what 6 months of boot camp? How can that possibly turn you into a fighter...
What I am saying is that most guys that go into the army, are agressive to begin with, and probably have already had some training in boxing or other fields.
The idea that the army/marines/etc. makes you some kind of super-fighter is ridiculous. They have nothing on actual martial artists. Why?
Simple.
The government wants you shooting, not thinking you are superman, and trying to beat someone with your bare hands. True, they teach basic combatives, some close quarters combat, but all in all....there isn't a single military man (who doesn't practice some other style on the side, or some such) who could go up against a trained and/or professional fighter.
Versus the average joe, or even the average street fighter, military training is a lot. But the hand to hand portion lasts about two weeks of the thirteen week bootcamp. Two weeks compared to years and years? Meh.
Military combatives are over-rated. I'll take years of training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Sambo, and Thai Boxing over a career in the marines any day.
EDIT: Rotiart slightly beat me to it.

And my cousin IS a Marine Drill Sergeant, and my other one was in the army, and both of them agreed when i talked to them about it.
And yeah, i said it, people in the army cant fight.
Originally posted by SoljerActually i do Brazilian jiu-jitsu and Thai boxing, along with western boxing, they have military guys come in to train with us all day, and we TOOL them.

You know King kam, for once you are right, my step-father, who was in Marine Recon By the way, learned to disable or kill a man the fastest way possible. He said they taught him various strikes and grapples, but most of it was just to kill, breaking bones, pressure point strikes, quick judo tosses, fastest way to snap a mans neck, ya know, the important stuff. Everything else, all the fancy backflips and stances, thats just for show, killing your opponent is all that matters to true special forces.
So yeah, you are right, They don't know how to fight, just kill.
And I do Martial Arts Also, and I competed in Tournements, all the fancy shit goes out the door in a real fight, and whatever works, works.

And I've delved into both, so I'm not being biased, but I disagree with what you say below.
Originally posted by SoljerIt is true that people in the army practice basic principles, and that's all that is needed in a fight, all of the styles and flashiness is overrated, simple. When you have superior execution, knowing 7 styles won't really save you. You need a style for range, a style for up close, a ground style, and preferrably a grab style. Military utilizes all of those into one, and they also focus on a core defense and offense, being in supreme shape is demanded, most people cannot handle the training they do there that they do in "dojo's". Especially when it comes to doing stuff underwater.

The last part is bs. Ton's of these "trained martial artists" nowadays (particularly in America), come straight out of soccer mom dojo's and have a black belt in two years. WTF?
I respect more "real" martial arts and not ones that are solely "about the belt".
Originally posted by SoljerThat's to utuilitze them as quickly and as effectively as possible, and it is more concentrated and FAR more demanding than other styles would delve into in a few short weeks. But you are correct, years of combat "experience" (no matter how you get it), is vastly more important. Because most of these so called "fighters" have never even been in a real fight where "honor" and "respect" are useless, what will they do then in a real tense situation? This is why experienced street fighters often beat someone who has only trained and nothing else.

1. Shooting, firing grenades, is all combat and is alot more dangerous. (Though I recognize that you are emphasizing hand to hand in a majority of this.)
I'd like to see these other styles defend our country. And like I said there's nothing WRONG with other styles, but fighting is constantly evolving all of the time, and to simply divide something into silly "styles" is absurd, they all have their purposes. They're different.
