Just wondering anyone here do martial arts ? ive began training in krav maga, its really really awesome. not really considered MA, more of a close combat. its really cool, uses some of the best and most usable moves from many systems. getting jumped kinda moved *learn a fighting system* up the list. yeah, i have a list of shit i want to accomplish before im like 25 (in my head ofc). originally i was planning on taking up Maui Thai, but no good schools in my area and after some research found something better for the time being. im not seeking proffessional levels, just boost in ablities of pain infliction. may not always have spray paint in my pocket
oh yer used to do karate for about 4 years when i was younger. got quite a bit out of it but it's not a very good choice compared to other martial arts.
I learned quite a bit of hapkido when I was younger. I also used to do tae kwon do, and wish I still did... Krav Maga is totally sweet though, I want to learn some muay thai and jui jitsu, but there are no good places around.
i can fight pretty well. all while growing up my father has taught me some karate moves here and there and i've gained experienced with them on the streets. i'm by no means the fastest gun in the west but i'm not your average joe blow either lol.
I took Shaolin Kempo for a few years when i was younger. i made it to first degree blue belt before i was to old to continue in that particular school. i did not pursue another school because my family could not afford the other schools. i really enjoyed learning at my lessons. respect, discipline, etc. i really improved physically as we did hundreds of sit-ups and push-ups before each lesson. i miss it. but shaolin kempo is all about combinations. i have absolutely no memory... i would do terrible at remembering all 100+ combinations.
I don't trust little asians to teach me how to fight,sorry. All that fancy shit might work when you're a 3 foot tall 50 pound rice cake. Plus I feel that fighting on the ground like dogs..is exactly that. Fuck all those holds they do when they're on the ground, you wana fight like a monkey w.e ok.. I just start biting away peices of ur flesh. Don't need training for that.
you should look into nin jitsu then. much more than little asians showing u how to fucking hold people down.
Brazil has some sick fighters. As for turkey, man come on. maybe you've only seen those bootleg taekwondo teachers who only care about forms and combos but I learned hapkido living in asia. Mike tyson wouldn't be able to lay a tooth on me before i cracked his spine. wonka had it right, it's about dicipline and defense. I would probably lose a blow-for-blow fistfight. that's why it's good to know how to end the fight(by breaking shit) before it begins.
