Basic Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 as far as an all round martial art goes wing chun is pretty good gives you internal and external strength , does very good things for your insides like bowels and liver and such , well depending on whos teaching you , if you want to be able to fight well best research who your teacher is . i did it on and off when i was 13 unitll 15 , and by then i was more than capable than looking after myself against people almost twice my size . i dunno if u wanna know more just ask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubejinxed Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 do jiu jitsu with your girl, that would be way more fun... i vote aikido..... but if the karate is near you and you think you'll make it to the classes more frequently then do that. it's what you think you will stick with that will make it more valuable.

!@#$% Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 yeah, martial arts are really fun. i took kung fu for about 2.5 years when i was around 13..i got pretty damn good, but my parents couldn't afford to keep sending me..i got up to a purple belt, so i had two more and then black i think... it was like the list you posted kilo, but it had purple in between blue and red.. it definitely taught me how to fight, plus the discipline and self-confidence.. i keep saying i'm going to go back. i gotta get off the green :dazed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAustin Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 I've thought about doing this also for several years. The basic breakdown I had heard years ago was that Tae Kwan Do was mainly kicks and Akido was a lot of hand/wrist technique. I knew a guy that was into Judo pretty big. I'm not a super bad-ass or anything but...none of that dudes stuff really seemed to work. I seem to remember someone saying that it was a lot of wrastlin' type of moves. I'd probably have to hit yoga first...this 12 oz grandpa is a little rusty in the flexibility department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 I was up untill 4:00am watching those 'Famous Fighting Styles' things on A&E. I watched one on Savat (French Kickboxing) and it was really interesting and then the Akido one came on at 3:00am and I just knew I couldn't go to bed. I have decided that akido is not for me. There was just way too much rolling around on the mat. They dont even have offensive blows unless you're using a sword (laido?) I appreciate the 'zen' of it all, but it's not really the style I'm into. It would be good to flip a dude twice your size or else he looses a wrist.

26SidedCube Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Yeah, that's why I couldn't stick with it. It's more of a refined gentleman's marshall art... tho it's allegedly one of the single most effective (next to Kempo and other group-fighting styles). I've seen a little old man take out 6 guys with knives completely freestyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 there was some of that on the show. This one OLD guy who is o-Sensi's grandson was talking out 4 guys by grabbing one and running him into the other 3. Nusto! But it just looked way too much like a staged dance or something. There was only one guy on the show who really beat his students. He started as an 8 year old and his father was taught by o-sensi. They say there are no attacks but this dude was hammering on people. He like sweep them up into the air and then smack open hand into their chest and push them on to the floor. He was not fucking around. And I'm not really into swords. Akido was first made as a way to defend against swords but I'd be much more concerned with a knife than a sword tese days. Hell... a broom handle is more common than that.

Spike Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Kilo, even though you may have your mind set on not doing Aikido... it depends totally on which form you learn. The purer forms do all the groundwork stuff... the rolling etc. etc., but the practical forms add back all the open hand, knife hand and tip strikes... no fists tho. It depends totally on what kind of Aikido is being offered at the place doing it, you should go watch a class of each martial art AT THE PLACE YOU WILL STUDY IT before making up your mind. I'm honestly considering taking a year out of my life and going to either Japan or Thailand to do either the Riot Police Aikido Course or a year long intensive Muay Thai course. Both forms are fucking lethal, Aikido all about the throws n balance, and Muay Thai about shattering other people's bones and breaking stuff. The Riot Police Aikido course is no joke. They let you get on with the Zen part of it, and teach you 100% how to kill people. When you come out of there you can probably handle a whole riot single handed, and this is Aikido, with all the strikes. I digress. I'm still telling you that Karate is wack. "Wiggidy wack?" "Nah, just the regular type" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 yeah spike, I'm not going to put down an ancient martial art just because I didn't like how it was presented on tv, but comparing how the classes looked for Akido Vs. Savat... I know I'd get way more out of the kickboxing. just my preference. plus thinking about it now, I might like to do a little weapon training.

Yeah...this time of year...I stay off the streets for the most part and ride mainly mountain. Its a hell of a lot warmer under cover of the trees. The few times when I will ride in the city...its on a bike that you'd have to be a moron to ride...much less steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPiTA Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 I've always wanted to get into some form of combat, but have never had time with school and all. The Rents wouldn't let me when I was younger, so I guess it could be me wanting to be badass and break free from those parental chains which aren't there anymore. All that K1 shiz on TV right now is fucking RAW, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElectricitySucks Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 ahaahahahhaah karate. first off, theres hundreds of differnt styles of karate. Keep in mind, anyone can take a style, change it a little, and call it "ninja tou fu." If your serious about it, get some places where you live, or as far as your willing to travel and ask alot of questions as well as asking to see a basic class in progress. probably what im saying has already been said but whatever. yeah, tae kwon do, and alot of japanese forms are very traditional and bullshit with mind, body, spirit...ect.ect. tkd does not teach self defense. judo is like wrestling- thows, locks, whatevers. belt system to me means absolutly nothing. most likely, by the time your kicks are over your head, and you can get out of a headlock, block, ect, your set. you should take a form that teaches self defense and not just breaking wood/using fancy weapons. its up to you, but if you want to be able to denfend yourself in a real fight, your not going to whip out a bo, nunchucks, and and that shit. streatch. alot. and practice falling alot. that, youll have to be taught. i reccomend staying away from tiger shullmans. its terrible. its about a $1,000 or more to get from belt to belt and its teachings are shit. Creator/owner of it is also getting sued for this shit. and after you take whatever you take, dont think your god. dont judge how people fight no matter what their physical condition is. someone who can bench 400 isnt shit to someone whos experienced.

S@T@N Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 I trained for a bit with San Shou, which is basically glorified street fighting. However, I got pretty sick, and kinda came close to dying. My teacher decided it would be in my best interest to progress into something a little more difficult/painful/powerful when I returned to training. I then began training in Bag Wa Zen/ Dao Chuan kung fu, which taught me some intensely helpful technique. People say that Tae Kwan Do isn't that good, and maybe it isn't. As one of the older students I was asked to spar with one of the guests who was looking at the school because he had had Tae Kwan Do training, and wanted to see what it was like. We got into the spar, and after trying to kick me in the nuts, I hit him once and he completely flipped out, saying "I thought we weren't gonna punch hard" and just general bitching. I'm not saying I hit him with gorilla force, but I am saying that the intensity of the training was very different. I wouldn't turn my back on Tae Kwan Do, though. From what I've seen it's an excellent form to start with. As it is, your fitness and self esteem will be tripled doing that shit, as well as learning how to throw a good punch and defend yourself.
