what's the best and practical martial arts to learn??? suggestions po and why...

This is a whole thread on it's own and I'm sure there will be a million versions as to what's the best. Basically, any one style can beat another. To me, it's a personal choice as to what style fits a person and how well that person executes. MMA covers both stand up and ground, but within MMA is a mix of what ever style you want. Even the untrained idiot who starts throwing punches can win because he's so unorthodox that the trained guys may get confused.

 

My stand up is Wing Chun and my ground is Gracie BJJ. I'm better at my stand up game, but I'm knowledgable and proficient enough not to get into trouble on the ground.

 

Pick an art or two that interests you and go with that.

jackie chan was trained since childhood at the peking opera house, in a style called "peking opera". the people who studied here have reported that the training was far more brutal then in any kung fu school (beatings, starvation, and slave labour were common). the history of peking opera supposedly goes back to the fall of the first shaolin temple and the five monks who were the only survivors of the massacre, but like a lot of martial arts myths is probably 80% bullshit, 15% wishful thinking and 5% truth. jackie chan's "older brother" (the one who looked after an intake of new students) at the peking opera house was sammo hung. the purpose of the peking opera house, and peking opera training was originally to preserve the kung fu handed down by one of the monks, again see comment about bullshit etc. what the opera house produced were actors first and foremost, not fighters. for a better look at peking opera, and the history of martial arts in chinese cinema, see a documentary called "the art of action: martial arts in the movies". it's hosted by samuel l jackson and contains rare footage fro the early days of chinese martial arts cinema.

 

 

jet li studied wushu at the beijing amateur sports school and won his first national wushu championship as part of the national team. he retired at 17 and began his movie carer shortly after. he was never a shaolin monk, people who say this don't know their arse from their elbow. his first movie was "shaolin temple" directed by chang hsin yen, and this is where the bullshit probably came from.

nice thread, very informative. saan pa ba magandang mag training ng aikido? ang layo kasi kung sa UP. i just live here in makati. does anyone here train in aikido?

 

@pogingpogi - do you still practice kickboxing bro?

[Alphamale-X]

This is a good Idea bro!..actually you can easily buy instructional videos and books,and I'm sure most of us whose into martials already have a few.. and the only thing you need is a sparring partner to practice it and share thoughts with...before I used to be with this group where they teach grappling just for the love of it..we would usually meet..and we rent this studio in cubao..real cheap until it needs to be renovated..we usually share around 200 pesos/ month for the place ..then we practice..it was real fun..at makaakmura pa!

 

so I'think this idea of yours will work man ..and we can also share discipline..we'll build friendship and learn at the same time malay mo maka buo tayo nang team nang pang laban sa URCC heheh!.. in case anyone will organize this ..100% support ako!

Sir repeating a question I posted. I am planning to go back to training. What is holding me back is an injury I had that left me with a limp all over my right hip down to my to my right foot. Where should I get this "fixed" ? Alternative TCM or even mainstream medicine answers would be welcome. I also figure age is a factor too since I am 38 na. Used to shrug off tapilok walk it off. But then falling straight down from a ladder on one leg is gonna be a stress for anyone.

Greeting all,

 

Trained in various Asian arts over the years, still do.

However focus is the Philippine Warrior Art commonly known as Kali, Arnis, Eskrima.

It is also a way to honor our ancestors. From before Lapu-Lapu, the Katipunan, WW2 and the present.

The art lives and evolves to remain relevant in our time.

It is no wonder that elite special forces around the globe include our bladed arts in their training.

Places such as US, Korea, S. Africa, Australia, England and Israel to name a few.

martial arts trivia: did you know that filipino knife fighting is recognized to be one of the deadliest in the world? filipino martial arts bow to no other in terms of effectiveness and usage.
