Joe, what you just proved to me in that post is that most of the fighters in BZ arn't
TRUE Martial Artist but very skilled fighters.
I recall RYU and KEN training with blind folds before,and they fought each other just as good if they had seeing eyes....[/quote]
Yeah, I have seen bloodsport. And he was pretty much stubling around, with his hands out in front of him. When he defeated his foe, he merely threw the grenade back at him (or something like that). And really, the only other sense you can use in a fight is hearing. If you use the sense of touch to feel your opponent, he's gonna know you're there. And you're definately not gonna use the senses of taste and smell (unless your opponent is a blob of dog ########).
And all of the characters in DBZ are indeed TRUE martial artists. Ever seen the first part? Called "Dragonball"? When Goku was a kid/young adult? That's all they used, martial arts. However, when they finally got to the DBZ area of it, they were so strong and so quick, martial arts wouldn't mean anything when you can pull off a few zanzokens and fly. When you have so much power and speed that you can destroy the world without even trying, and can fly around the earth eight times in 28 minutes, martial arts aren't really needed.
And Ryu and Ken are buttbuddies. They can practically know what each other's about to do before they do it, because they know each other so well. It's like putting Goku and Vegeta with blindfolds against each other: they know each other well enough to know what they're about to do. Blindfold Ryu and make him face Akuma, or someone else, and he'd have a much harder time.
And besides, DBZ characters have the ability to sense ki, and one can fight fairly easily while blind and deaf if they can sense their opponent's ki.
