Know any martial arts or weapon disciplines?

I have studied TaeKwonDo, Judo, Karate, and Bushido(katana discipline). Have my own real katana that i practice with everyday. Anyone else study?

I know the arts of Ju-Pulltrigger. Does that count?

I know some basic drunk fighting, kickballs and I'm good at sprinting.Neon-Tiger

LOL made my day.

I started doing karate 3 months ago. I'm currently a yellow belt, and I really enjoy it.

Good to hear it.Have you participated in any tourneys yet? Back when i was actually in it and not self studying, tournament participation was a requirement in order to advance.Still have my old trophies in storage somewhere. Was great fun to spar with my fellow classmates and forms(though hard to memorize) were fun to execute.

To those who dont know: forms is the term for a performance of a series of predetermined moves set in a specific pattern.Most of my tourneys were split into a sparring competition and a forms competition.

Not one bit. I'm non-confrontational though.dodgerblue13

Dont think of martial arts as confrontational. If you are just studying it or participating in a class just think of it as a discipline.A way to sharpen your senses and your mind. Just because a great deal is physical doesnt mean its confrontational.

We do sparring in our training sessions, but I think it's only the brown and black belts who do proper tournaments. Sparring is required as part of grading though, of course.

Is there a way to learn martial arts by youself?

Hmm sure has changed since i was in it.Then again i think its because of recent safety regulations.Thinking of going into kendo soon and im hoping for very little restriction.

Ah so thats how it is worked for karate these days huh? Shame that takes away alot of excitement and fun you could be having.You gonna go all the way? And also how is your sparring system setup? Mine was based on a 3 points-3 rounds system.All but below the belt and the neck was considered legal to attack for points.All blocks equaled 0 points while successful direct hits counted as a point.

PerilousWolf

Yes there is.Its called self studied martial arts.You can take up books and videos to learn.Then practice yourself.Heres a good example:

Get a good TaeKwonDo video to start off on.Look it up if you can.Then before you start training or participating with the video as may be the case i recommend you perform basic exercices to loosen up.You need to do a few stretches and at least 10 reps of each.I would have to say at least 5 different ones.Then either participate with the video or train in what you have learned.Concentrate on simply getting the basics of each technique.movement. and stance.Then master each one , 1 by 1 tell you think you have mastered it.Then move on tot he next tech,movement, or stance.Classes are usually a total of 2 hours with 15 minutes of stretches before hand.So try to set a time.You can do this every morning if you like.But fair warning you will be very sore when you first start.

Nope. I always meant to try to learn Muay Thai one day...I can't be bothered though.AnObscureName

Its a very powerful martial art that is difficult to truly master.But very versatile.You should really give it a try someday.

im black belt in taekwando, plus we all know a guys weakness ;)monkeyd_93

But some of us just wont kick there.Me being one who wont.

I'm a senior green belt in Tae-Kwon-Do. My strength is round kicks and my weakness is street fighting.

Nice to see a fellow martial artist come on. Along with what i have already said my strength is kicks,throws, and disarming attacks to weak points of the body.

Forgot to say. Weakness - arm strength is low, only use to parry,throw, and hit pressure points.i dont punch.

does drunken boxing count as a figting style?

Its a official martial art so i dont see why not.Some martial artists actually fight better drunk.Its hard to explain why.Something about returning thier minds to base instincts and flowing with unbalance of the alchohol.

I know a little wrestling, but not much.

Karate, and wrestling.

I really love the Wushu Tiger Taming form and Hung Gar, but it's not practical to learn.. th3warr1or

Almost any form can be practical.But its recommended you place abit of your own style in it to make it as such.Learn what you wish and work with it.

Im busy developing a style that i wont use unless under extreme pressure.Its based on stopping blood flow at certain points momentarily then attacking the those points with alot of force to disable that limb or part of the body.Havent named it yet.

Glad to see my topic gettin active.

Btw any questions about martial arts just pm me.Ill answer what i can.Plus i dont get the computer that much so never know when.

I know the arts of Ju-Pulltrigger. Does that count?

I hope it does because I'm screwed if it doesn't.

At point blank right up front of one another a gun loses to a knife or CQC.In the time it takes you to pull out your gun or pull the trigger your hand would be against the wall, the gun on the ground and your arm about to be broken.

Honestly if your gun isnt drawn you lose and you hesitate more in firing a gun then using CQC.Its a fact, even if its a fraction of a second of hesitation, you still lose.Long range is another matter.The only chance a martial artist has is to watch your hand and move the second your finger does.Then run and look for a place to hide and attack you from.Bait and lure becomes the only way to fight.But one mistake and martial artist is dead sadly.

It does and doesnt.Too much build up ruins flexibility.I can twist my arms in ways that make alot of people sick haha. But serouisly i have my arms built this way to further the effienciency of my martial styles. Besides i prefer to kick someone rather than punch.

I typically do a high kick to the chin(as i can kick almost straight up) to phase my opponent then rooundhouse the ribcage.Then i follow up by using my elbow to drop them down low and use a axe kick directly to the middle of thier back. This is what i prefer to do but doesnt always work out that way.

I wanna start boxing, it sounds awesome. But I only know basic street stuff, and since I work out that's a plus. I don't wanna take a karate class, they often tend to lead you the wrong directions, and end up being an even worse fighter than when you started. I'm talking about those "discount" karate places.mohfrontline

If you want to learn boxing i recommend getting a small punching bag and a boxing dummy(the ones you fill with sand) then look up getting a book or vid and train yourself. You will be surprised how much you can learn on your own.From there you can decide if you wish to continue.If you do look up taking a professional class fromt here when you get the chance. Having a friend to take the place of a dummy to punch you rapidly.This way you can learn to duck and weave, which is really important in boxing. Just a suggestion.

btw, I like this topic

Unless brawler technique with some touches of Taekwon-Do is a martial art, then no.Treflis

Almost any fighting style is a martial art.Placing your own personal touch to a martial art is important.Think of the disciplines as guidlines.Then work on your own from there. Trust me on that. So regardless since you are fighting with martial knowledge then you are at least somewhat of a martial artist.

[QUOTE="DarkSmokeNinja"]Is the rib-cage the first place that you usually kick your oppenents?

Im glad to see you do.Its hard to find appreciation for such things anywhere, so this was a long shot.Besides i dont mind answering questions for people too.

Okay WolfGrey I have a quick question, which fighting style is your favorite?

there's also this skinny freshman in my school who's a blackbelt in his karate class that is constantly bullied, and I've seen him use his "skills", well I gotta say they suck. I don't know what they've been teaching the poor kid over at his class, but wow he'd be better off not even going.mohfrontline

You have to understand.Most classes typically teach the discipline and not practicality.Its taught to sharpen the mind and bring focus to oneself.Being able to use it in actual combat is all up to the person who learns it.The martia art does not adapt to you, you adapt to it.Back when i first learned TaeKwonDo i used this knowledge to heighten the power of my kicks and concentrate on firm execution of fighting techniques.Most martial schools these days are meant as a basis not as what you can fully use in combat.Mostly toned down these days anyway.

I would have to say judo.It helped me learn a great deal about shifting my weight and learning to flow with every move.Thanks to learning and mastering it i can move much quicker and deliver far harder kicks from gaining momentum from the movements i adapted from judo.
