[bradp3t3]

i dont know if my style is ok, because i fused some styles that i have some background on, for my hands i use boxing for the punching technique, blocking and stance i use jeet kune do and boxing depends on when im facing left or right, for close combat and legs i use muay thai, im very fond of using my knees and the thai kick, and for ground some jujitsu and a little bit of ninjitsu. i also trained aikido but didnt use it, its just not right for me, i think the best technique is the one that fits your style, the one youre comfortable with...

Martial Art: Kendo (Japanese Fencing)

Experience: ~5 years

 

STEVESTON KENDO CLUB - FROM THE VERY BEGINNING

 

Kendo first appeared in British Columbia's lower mainland in 1913, when Tsuzuki Kentaro established a dojo called Yokikan in the small fishing village of Steveston. In 1920, Hayashi Rintaro took over as head instructor. Akune Yuichi followed as head instructor in 1937, renaming the club Yoseikan, which literally means "Proper Upbringing Hall." Yoseikan ran its practices at the local Japanese language school from October through to March.

 

On April 18, 1931, the Yoseikan dojo held the first ever Canadian kendo tournament in Steveston. At about the same time, other local clubs in Vancouver and Seattle also began to hold tournaments. Yoseikan proved to be the strongest individual club in the pre-WWII Pacific Northwest based on the sheer number of first place tournament victories the club acquired. Today's Steveston Kendo Club Tournament is one of the largest tournaments held in the Pacific Northwest.

 

In 1942, the Canadian government began to relocate Japanese-Canadians to camps in the Kootenays and the Prairies following the attack on Pearl Harbour. Tanigami Moriharu (a pupil of Akune Yuichi) returned to Steveston from relocation camp in 1949. In 1957, he joined up with Hayashi Rintaro to reorganize what would eventually be called the Steveston Kendo Club.

 

In 1972, the City of Richmond, the Steveston Community Centre, and the Japanese Canadian Community Association jointly financed the Martial Arts Centre, which would house the judo, karate, and kendo clubs. In 1973, the Steveston Kendo Club officially took up residence at the beautiful new Richmond Martial Arts Centre in Steveston, under then head instructor Tanigami Moriharu.

 

In 1990, Ray Murao took over as head instructor of the Steveston Kendo Club. Murao-sensei holds the rank of 7th dan (7th degree black belt), and has extensive experience in local, national, and international competition. He has also served several terms as head coach of the Canadian Kendo Team at the World Kendo Championships

It's ok to fuse the best techniques from different martial arts. I cross train in muay thai, boxing and brazilian jujitsu. But sometimes, especially when you are competing, you tend to be confused. Like, when competing/sparring muay thai, doing the bob and weave, which is common in boxing, is a mortal sin because you'll end up eating a lot of knees and elbows on your face. When I was training in Thailand, the muay thai trainers would often correct my punch because my style is boxing wherein the punches are short and crisp, whereas in muay thai, the punches are long and powerful with the weight of your body behind the punch.

Is muay thai a good martial arts to lose fat or be fit..I want to lose fat..but i feel lke doing cardio alone is a waste of time when you can practice a certain martial arts and lose wight at the same time...wat do you think?

[buraotako]

i was in combat aikido before nung di pa ko masyado busy. hanggang purple belt lang. good thing in combat aikido is di kailangan na malakas ka kasi you'll be using your opponent's strength against him. Yung original aikido uses swords pero yung dito sa pinas medyo nag i-volve na. yung dating combat aikido sa cubao tapondo na ata ang pangalan.

It is but it is a very demanding art... better prepare yourself for it first by getting into shape...

 

best way to get in shape? strength training

Muay Thai is a very rigorous art, specially if you are being trained by certified MAP trainers. But it is not a panacea for losing fat or getting fit. Cross train in running and strength training. Where do you intend to train in Muay Thai?

[shrike]

hahaha. yea very demanding both in time and in body resources.

took me years to develop my 'shinguard' muscles and 'armblock' muscles.

 

muay thai is a contact sport. that's the reason why I can't spar after my appendectomy. i have a 'weak' spot now.

 

cardio, strength training and diet works best hand-in-hand.

 

aside from cardio, muay kata and shadow boxing, the only muscle i exercise now is my trigger finger.
