So, I want to know, does anyone do any form of martial arts here? I did Thai Boxing for about 4 years and got to a second grade, and I also taught myself how to use nunchaku. I actually got a video of that.
I also have a Chinese friend who is learning Wu-shu, and he's hard as fuck.
I was wondering if anyone else did any form of martial art and how well you're doing in it so far?
Yeah, it was developed by the Israeli defence force as a 'self defence technique.' They don't even call it a martial art, since it's not really artistic. The point is to get the other guy on the ground as fast as possible then stomp the fuck out of them, unless you're in a position to break something standing up.
I've done a crash course at a place in Sydney, which covered pretty much everything (it's designed to be taught to soldiers quickly), and I don't see any reason to sign up to classes. They're mainly for practice to improve reflexes. If you make any sudden moves around a qualified Practicioner-level Krav expert, you'll probably be unconcious before either of you knows what's happening.
Sounds a bit like the French foreign legion, get the other guy passed out before you are. Can't beat the gurkkhas though, one of my mates's uncles was in the Gurkkhas and the stories of the stuff he did chilled me to my very soul. Lots of wind-pipe sliceage and neck breakage etc...
I actually have a story of when it came in handy one day;
I've had some guy try to mug me before. Yeah, I was drunk, and I'd wandered off in the wrong direction from where I wanted to go, and I walked past a small passage-way, and this big fat black dude grabbed me from behind, so I threw him over my shoulder to the floor and he got up and I kicked him in the gut a few times and punched him in the head as he fell to the floor and he grabbed onto me and dragged me down. My hand was on the floor and I elbowed him, when he decided he'd lost and stomped on my hand, fucking it up for a few days. But he didn't get anything from me at all, and he ended up running away from me, so at least I can tell people that. I'm not even sure why he tried it on me, I'm like 5' 11" and 13 stone, he must've been feeling lucky or been on crack or something.
why did you stop thai boxing, its the greatest thing ever. dissapointing mate.
mixed martial arts is the way of the future, no single fighting style can stand up to mma, as seen in the ufc. the karate guy might beat judu and kung fu but he's got no wrestling skills so he gets owned by someone who knows takedowns and submissions.
99% of the people you fight on the street have no idea how to fight tho so what you learn in thai boxing is more than you'll ever need to know. unless you want to fight professionaly of course.
My brother did some Boxing, Jujitsu, Greco Roman wrestling, Kempo a bit of Judo and now he just does some mixed martial arts that hes mate is teaching him.
I was going to start Kempo and some Jujitsu but the local one closed down, and i just lost interest .
And then you went into fat flobber dancing? Like your avator says.
I tried to make my own fighting style but I keep using things is styles that already exist by accident. It's difficult for me to create an originial style. Like, blocking and stuff, it's hard to think of a new original and better way to do it.
o well, I guess I will stick to existing styles that are known to work instead of making up my own that may fail when it really matters.
