What other styles of fighting (with or without weapons) do you know?

Question

Other than all the medieval weapons, ones of the Far East, the ones of now, and other future weapons like the ones above (e.g. lightsaber = sword, The Force = psychic powers). Be it Real Life or Animated or Magical(e.g. comics, manga, anime, cartoons).

One "queer" example I know is the power of singing in Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch.

This does not include natural abilities(Pokemon Moves), learned techniques(ninjutsu in Naruto), or super powers(super *****, power of *****, etc.)

Jousting uses spears/lances (medieval) and Martial arts is also included in my known list.

What is Muay Thai?

please answer that, AtiaoftheJulii.
Tell where that fighting style is used.(applies for all future answers).

I'll put "Billy Martin" in Martial Arts.

P.S. FYI, boxing is martial arts too.

Answer 1

I am proficient in the...

"Billy Martin" style of fighting...it's served me well over the years, and it is virtually unstoppable if applied quickly and accurately...

It's called...

"A Vicious Right Cross Out of Nowhere To The Nose..."

If you do it right...and in a timely, but gentlemanly, fashion ('cause you don't want to "kill" the guy...you just want to "put him in the penalty box for a while)...then...

It works like a charm...(Disclaimer: You are only allowed to use this techinique on human males larger than yourself...and you may only do so in self-defense...with one exception...there ARE situations in life where the "best defense," is a "good offense..." however...You may not use this fighting technique on anyone smaller than yourself or any female of any size...

...A true gentleman runs away very fast before ever getting to the point where a "defense" would be necessary against Billy Jean King or Rosie O' Donnell...

Because to be a "bully" or a "women or child beater or molester..."

Is the lowliest form of life on Earth, with "snitch" being a close second...

(Ma' Fatha' passed this wisdom on to me...and based on my experience in life...he is correct about that...and being right about 2 out of 10 things in life...

...is not too shabby for a Dad...thanks, Dad...)

Answer 2

Depends on the style and your teacher, and how much you actually do empty hand. My school my sister goes to has a huge emphasis on tournaments. So they train for tournament rules. They don't grab the stick (against the rules to hold it), and I didn't really see any blade or empty hand training in the short time I was visiting. So in that case, I don't think they get a whole lot of empty hand experience. If the style you practice has great empty hand stuff (guntings / limb destructions, sunkite / finger jabs, panantukan based stuff with elbows etc) and you practice it at your school, then you can be effective. If it has great stuff, but you never train it, don't expect to be very effective. Sparring also helps. Check out Steve Grody's "Flow of Kali Empty Hands" (but watch out for realistic distances, as the demos were a little to far out sometimes IMO).

Answer 3

Silat - Malay Martial Art
Capoeira - Brazilian Martial Art
Muay Thai - Thai Martial Art also known as Kickboxing

See the links for more info on these forms of fighting.

Answer 4

My examples all come from Manga/Anime.

Exploding Clay: yes, exploding clay can beat anything. This is so a weapon and not a natural ability. (deidara from Naruto uses it.

Sand: I'm not sure if this is natural or not. Gaara uses it and kills people with it.

A Fan: You blow wind, wack people with it, and It's as tall as you. Yes, this is an example from naruto too, Temari

Puppet: What better way to attack someone. Kankurou and Sasori uses this to attack and defend.

Zanpaktou: From Bleach. Okay, it's a sword but they have bankai and stuff which allows them to change form so gimme this one please!

Answer 5

Muay Thai

Answer 6

Judo, jujitsu, and karate are Japanese in origin; kung fu is Chinese and tae kwon do is Korean. Jujitsu (also spelled jujutsu, jiujitsu, jiujutsu) is a weaponless series of holds, throws, and thrusts used to overturn or disable the opponent - and judo is a refined version of these movements that focuses on quick movement. Both jujitsu and judo translate to ju 'soft' + jitsu 'art, skill'. Karate (translating to 'empty hand') is similar to jujitsu but involves sharp, quick blows to sensitive parts of the opponent's body. Kung fu ('art, skill') is the Chinese version of this, but weapons are sometimes used. Tae kwon do is similar to karate and the term translates tae 'to trample' + kwon 'fist' + do 'way' - or 'way to defeat/trample with the fists'.
