I don't understand your response. As I see it, stomps are (probably deservedly) banned for safety reasons. It's not about required skill.
I'm just saying that I understand the argument that it doesn't take much skill to perform certain maneuvers. Stomps is one of them.
Actually they take a considerable amount of skill. Go watch some of Shogun's PRIDE fights. Getting past your opponent's guard and stomping his head in is tougher than it looks and requires a bit of trickery. If you're in a position where anybody could stomp your brains in then you have no defense and probably deserve it anyways.
Triple-six killers in this motherfucker runnin shit
I think we argued for 3 or 4 pages about whether the mere fact of achieving a dominant position counts for scoring. I think it does. You think they have to hit them from the back.

And I'm saying that reasoning is precisely contrary to the founding philosophy of Mixed Martial Arts, which is about seeing "what works" in a NHB-like environment. I guarantee it takes more training to take someone out using Aikido than it does using boxing. Should we change the rules to force people to fight more like Aikidoka and ban boxing strikes then? If a technique can be effective with less training, it deserves to be encouraged, not discouraged.
