What's your style?
What's it like?
Doing Shoto-Budo style karate.
A mixture of all kinds, general sparring, kata, take-downs, ground work, locks and submissions.

I've googled but couldn't find any martial arts/fighting styles that deal or can be used when your hands are bound either behind your back or infront of you be it from being handcuffed or not being able to use them for whatever reason. I'm assuming it may be some sort of kick oriented martial art but maybe something that lets you use the fact you can choke people with your bound hands, strikes with both hands close together, head butts, etc.

I've heard of a type of asian boxing where a guy in prison invented a type of fighting style like this but I can only find books on it for sale. What I'm really after are the popular fighting styles that can be found taught all over but have portions of the dicipline dealing with bound hand combat.

Cheers!

What games do justice to the Martial Arts? Tekken? Bloody Roar? Urban Reign? Dead or Alive? Mortal Kombat? Virtua Fighter? A non mainstream game? The UFC series? Def Jam?

I am around 5'6" and weigh 140lbs.
Whenever I train, it's very difficult for me to kick higher.
Even when I try to kick people's ribs, I have to put so much effort to just to get my legs up that high.
So the only kicking that I am descent at it is low kicks...
Should I just give up on trying to kick high and work on my low kicks?
I have pretty strong and quick punches but middle to high kicks are what's brining me down...

Another question I have is what is the huge hype with mixed styles lately? It has never been about the style as much as it is the individual that knows how to fight. The person makes the style effective or not, so I do not see the big hype with MMA. Its no better or worst than traditional, in fact many traditonal schools today recommend after your sandan that you go to another style and join and obtain rank but we never lost tradition, and its not MMA.

Whats the big deal with it? I am not against it, just wondering why others think it is so much better than traditional? i do not think it is better or worst.

how much do they train and how much do they have to know? i mean they obviousely dont have the time to become a high ranking belt.

it is said that they can successfuly use the techniques and that they work. so how good do you have to be in order to successfully execute them like this?

I've already tried Tae Kwon Do for three years, I think it's time for change, any suggestions??

2007-06-13 19:34:36 · 16 answers · asked by Anonymous

i take TKD now and want to learn something more practical. these are all i could find in my area. I'm not looking to drop tae kwon do, just to cross train. which ones would be good combos?

I'm looking for something that will help me in a real fight and won't put me on my back like BJJ.. i dont want just ground-fighting but standing grapples, takedowns and effecient strong strikes.

so if i could get a description of each of these or just the ones you know about that would help me out a great deal.

no offense, but i only want to hear from people who know they are talking about.

So you can see how hard people were hit when they get KO'd. Also if they can see how tired/soft their punches are.

I saw how the way Lee spar in real life and you know what I think? He'll beat the hell out of any MMA fighter, To Ken Shamrock through the Gracie family and you name it everybody! No matter how big the opponent might be or good at ground game he can be, Lee would take them out in 10 to 15 second if they don't wear helmet. I think people are hella stupid when they say Lee would get own by this and that, they don't know that Lee have ground game also that would make an opponent scream for their mother to help them in a blink of an eye!!! Lee style is design to finish an opponent very fast if you don't believe it look at the book of his Jeet Kune Do and his sparring tapes. Lee is so fast and skillful lucky the guy wore helmet or else with so much kick form Lee on the guy head so many time he'll be in the hospital already! For people who is good at submission and grappling it will be a stupid idea to get close to Lee and try to grab him, you'll be pin yourself and break your arm in no time

I have my first tournament coming up that will be all day martial arts forms - etc. then ending with sparring at the end. I'm trying to train for it & I'm feeling wiped. I also work 2 jobs & I'm thinking that nutrition is my issue. I tried posting this in the health section - but didn't get much, so wanted to try here. I know eat healthy - fruits, vegetables - etc., but I've been searching the internet for something more specific. I'm not good at this part & I was looking for more exact info on foods that will give energy and endurance. I'm only 5'2" 124lbs. Don't want to gain weight - anyone seen a website that broke it down. I looked at the pyramid one, but didn't tell me what to eat. My biggest problem is that I leave my house at 6am & get home after midnight - so cooking for myself is an issue. Any suggestions???

Why are there so many questions;on here; from students or potential students about "training aids" to learn stances, forms(katas), stretching, breathing...ad infinatum? Where are your instructors?
This question is here to let people say what I already know but hearing it from me means nothing.
