Jorah Vulture	Posted - 2008.05.06 19:09:00 - [1] I've been into Aikido for 2 years, I'm loving it! (taking a break right now tho) Do you practice a martial art? What do you like from it?

Patch86 Di-Tron Heavy Industries Atlas Alliance	Posted - 2008.05.06 19:14:00 - [5] I used to do Taekwondo. Did it for about 2 years, but stopped doing it about 4 years ago. Went out with an injury, and just never got around to going back

Micheal Dietrich Caldari Cynical Cartel	Posted - 2008.05.06 19:27:00 - [7] I'm a fan of Tai Chi although I never got into it much. Boxing has been my game for years although I would like to upgrade to Thai Kick Boxing. I was watching that show "thu Human weapon" or something like that and they showed Kick boxing on a episode and it looked intrigueing.

Alucard Winsar Gallente Haiduken Industries	Posted - 2008.05.06 20:00:00 - [9] Army Combatives, which is basically MMA with a heavy emphasis on jujutsu. Also looking into getting started in Bujinkan Ninjutsu, because it looks like a lot of fun and a combination of all martial arts.
Yao Shiu	Posted - 2008.05.06 20:17:00 - [10] I took some bojitsu classes for a while, was good fun, great for fitness, although useless for self defence! would highly recommend, especially if the sensei is patient old quiet Japanese guy took jitsu once, was far too violent for my liking (duh) very effective self defence though I would imagine. the one class I took we were taught to beginnings of blocking a knife, punching assailant in throat, knocking them over, and hitting them while they're down
Dheorl The Scope	Posted - 2008.05.06 20:27:00 - [11] Edited by: Dheorl on 06/05/2008 20:29:59 I did go through a few martial arts but I soon learnt that when you fight as dirty as me you really don't need much training . I'm honestly not kidding either. I was mock fighting a person I know who's been doing martial arts for a good few years but the way he has been taught to punch leaves him wide open for a decent backhander (not the most manly move I know but can stun a guy long enough for you to get a foot sharply planted in their groin). Maybe the guys who have been doing it for 20 odd years are harder to beat but for me being naturally quick and knowing where it hurts has always sufficed. I know, I'm an evil person. I don't do it unless I have to but some people really do just push it a bit to far. P.S. If you do get into a fight with me and you survive the first 10 ish seconds without me getting an obvious upper hand then you will probably win. I'm great at "temporarily disabling" people but if I can't do that fast enough I'm generally a goner. Everyone has their weak points.

Theres a school of thought in martial arts circles that taking part in sparring and combat sport with other martial artists actually makes a person less capable at real-life fighting and self defence. Proponents argue that teaching someone to fight in matches with specific rules and regulations trains people to leave gaping holes that, to an untrained fighter, are obvious and easily exploited. Of course, another school of thought says that this is rubbish, and a person who is trained in a well rounded and professional manner will benefit from live sparring experience, in addition to their other training. Then there's the third school of thought, which would argue that any combat training is better than no combat training at all, and combat sports and sparring are by far the most widely available opportunity for people to practice their art. Unless you're training to be a professional killer, most people are probably better off for a bit of practice.
xOm3gAx Caldari Stain of Mind	Posted - 2008.05.06 21:00:00 - [13] Kempo - because for every action made against you your objective is to mame and kill your opponent. Which i believe is a great deterrent. In the US its referred to as Kenpo and is taught as such. Kenpo is modified Kempo with Judo and Jujitsu. Note: I was taught primarily Kenpo but Ed Parker did teach me and some other students various other things as well. Including showing the changes between Kenpo and Kempo.

Unless you're training to be a professional killer, most people are probably better off for a bit of practice. There were only two rules for our matches. No groin shots and no head shots. Those rules however were not in place for the tournaments I fought in though we did use pad's alot of people were still hospitalized. Thus in my case at least sparring was a good thing. I've only lost 1 fight and that was a sparring match =)
Slade Trillgon Siorai Iontach Brotherhood of the Spider	Posted - 2008.05.06 21:12:00 - [15] I trained Shotokan for 4 years, but stopped for schooling. I have been yearning for getting back into some form of the beautiful arts for a long time but have yet to be spurned into action. Opposed to training myself, I do train 3 MMA combatants in my local. Two of which will be training under Jens Pulver in the next month. You would never catch me training under that guy, no matter how good he is. Slade
ReaperOfSly Gallente Lyrus Associates	Posted - 2008.05.06 21:36:00 - [16] Does archery count as a martial art? It's certainly martial, and I don't see how it's any less an art than karate or what-have-you...

Of course, another school of thought says that this is rubbish, and a person who is trained in a well rounded and professional manner will benefit from live sparring experience, in addition to their other training. With the proper Sensei, one would recieve training that took both of these viewpoints into consideration. My Sensei did not have our school compete at all, but we did spar quite vigorously, in which contact above shoulder and groin shots were excluded, but all other contact was legal. Shots to vital areas were praticied consistantly and we were trained with proper execution and technique but also taught the philosophy that ultimate moves equal ultimate consequences, and to choose the proper form of retaliation quickly is of the utmost importance. He also stated that if we wanted to compete he would have no trouble allowing us to train and compete with other schools, but that we were not allowed to show or represent our schools colors, emblems, name, or style at any competition.

Sodium Phosphate Gallente Ganja Labs Insurgency	Posted - 2008.05.06 21:47:00 - [20] 9 years of TKD but just moved away this year, tried to get into LA boxing which teaches everything, school got in the way and now I'm yearning for it again. Am thinking about picking up some grappling or weapon style. If you actually do end up in a fight then you've done something wrong anyways, so I do it just for the discipline and feel. Break bats with my legs, could break a leg just as easy I'd guess.

That would be a spectical for sure Slade

Sodium Phosphate Gallente Ganja Labs Insurgency	Posted - 2008.05.06 22:03:00 - [23] You'd be suprised with the way some of these ghetto kids fight these days, ever seen slap boxing? they lean back and stick their legs out front, one kick and either they get a serious charlie horse or they fall and bust their face on the concrete.
Wired An Eye For An Eye	Posted - 2008.05.06 22:19:00 - [24] I started Thai Boxing about 9 years ago. I like it because it's such a distance from what i do on a daily basis (Software tester) and it's an amazing stress reliever. I say all that but I'm an incredibly placid and laid back person and luckily I've never had to be in a position where I've had to use it and if i was i doubt i would.
Gyfrex	Posted - 2008.05.06 22:25:00 - [25] done various arts over the years, did Kyokushin karate for about 3 years, that was good, regret that studies got in the way of it. Now I do an art called Choi Kwang Do, its basically a non-competetive version of Tae Kwon Do, with changed punch and kick movements. The non-competetive ideal of it doesn't stop us beating the hell out of each other in training though
Adonis 4174	Posted - 2008.05.06 22:37:00 - [26] I was brought up by a skilled jujitsu fighter. No longer free to practice regularly he kept in practice coaching his children. I don't consider myself a skilled fighter but I've instinctively put aggressive people into holds more than a few times. ---- Infiniband can do more than just prevent lag

There was a guy in our karate class that did the old crane style stance but he never kicked from it. It was just the opening stance that transitioned to another form. After the "karate kid" movie came out he wouldn't do it anymore.

Heh that reminded me of quote from a book i read years ago went along about sowrd fighting it went along the lines of "the best swordsman does not fear the second best, but the worst as you can't predict what dumbassed stunt they will try". But Some karate, judo and a very small amount of Tai Chi and Akido. the Tai Chi was purly for fittness but to many old injuires it flared up (which I was pretty annoyed at). I pretty much go with get away first, if you can't do it hard fast and first...but make sure its worth it. Thankfully I have pretty much always manged step one well apart from once but i was to ****ed to feel the damage I took till the next day, thankfully a taxi stopped before i suffered anything but a broken wrist and a lot brusing, thank god for helpfull people or I would have really been up the creek without a canoe never mind a paddle. Without those 2 guys I would have making this post with the help of a meduim or a spirtboard.

Lol, that reminds me of when I used to teach initiative to a swordfighting class by fighting without a sword. The only person who could routinely beat me was the outright worst in the class. ---- Infiniband can do more than just prevent lag

Anyways, whats the point in putting someone in a hold when you got their mate smacking you in the face. Much easier to wind one, kick the other in the groin and be done with it . Just incase people are getting worried I'm not a violent person and try to stay out of fights if possible but if there is someone laying into my mate he best get running. P.S. My mates aren't particulary violent either (unless very drunk), just a bit provoking (especially when drunk). Anyways we live in an area of chavs... what more can I say.
Sodium Phosphate Gallente Ganja Labs Insurgency	Posted - 2008.05.07 22:37:00 - [40] Edited by: Sodium Phosphate on 07/05/2008 22:37:38 I've come to realize it is really difficult to find a real effort to go into TKD or any asian martial art. Once you hit 16 your list of competitors goes way down as people you used to fight, above your age or the same with your weight class, move on to life. I really wish they taught some other martial art besides wrestling in American high schools. On my trip to Seoul for the Hamnadang it was really popular in Korean schools, wish it was the same here.
War Keynvor PURE Legion Pure.	Posted - 2008.05.07 23:04:00 - [41] Edited by: War Keynvor on 07/05/2008 23:05:22 Bujinkan Ninjutsu and Tae Kwon Do, both for 4 years now. I think of the two I prefer Bujinkan Ninjutsu as I look better in black . I also did Kick Boxing for 2 years before I graduated from uni and of the three the Kick Boxing had the best teacher. The guy was a former doorman and aside from the standard moves he taught us some really neat tricks and tips for real life self defence outside of the classes. There's a big difference between learning the moves in a martial arts class and sparring, and actually being in a fight out in the real world. If you have the opportunity to learn martial arts from someone who has actually had to deal with fights in the real world as part of their job then they, in my experience, make the far better teacher because you'll learn so much more.

Yeah the Akido teacher I had was like that showed a throw, then advised that if its for real throw them on a small wall or something if possable. To bad the class stopped, he was a good teacher he was showing us two moves and during the demestration i could not get the first one to work and swtiched to the second (granted it did not work) but he was quite good about me switching from one to the other in a demonstration. Pity he stopped the class. ========= "I am not saying there should be capital punishment for stupidity, but why can`t we just take the safety labels off everything and let the problem fix its self
Jon Hawkes The Littlest Hobos Insurgency	Posted - 2008.05.08 11:31:00 - [43] I'm an avid fan of kickboxing and ju jitsu (ie - a glutton for punishment!) However, something has been bugging me for some time. I can think of numerous South American, European and of course oriental martial arts, but does anyone know of any martial arts that originated in the Middle East or around the Indian sub-continent? There must be a few, surely?
