Anyone Into Martial Arts?

[Asker]

Lahat ng Martial Arts MAGANDA nasa sayo na lang yun kung papaano mo gagamitin, halimbawa away kalye ang approach sayo ng opponent mo kung ikaw ay matalinong TAEKWONDO Practitioner dapat alam mo na hindi ka kailangang maging fancy sa kalaban mo kc buhay mo ang nakataya, kalimitang ginagamit ng isang jin's sa kalye ay FRONT KICK sa BALLS o eye job sa mata bago mo sya tapusin, kung ikaw naman ay ARNIS naman ang art mo syempre hindi mo naman kailangang laging may dalang STICK sa kalye kc yung stick ay extension lang ng kamay natin ang mga nag ARNISADOR ay marunong ring SUMIPA at SUMUNTOK at kung magaling kang martial ARTIST alam mo ang mga VITAL POINTS ng iyong opponent, dapat dun mo sya atakihin, KUNG PAREHO NAMAN kayong may alam sa MARTIAL ARTS ang mangyayari dun ay unahan na lang kayo ng gamit ng ART nyo at pag away kalye ang usapan lahat dyan ay allowed at walang rules kaya ingat na lang kalimitang nanalo dyan ay yung makakaunang tumama sa mga delikadong parts ng katawan natin.

I pity your friend ... People who think that arnisadors are helpless without their sticks; this only shows his ignorance and lack of knowledge regarding our indiginous art. Napakakitid ng utak nya... :hypocritesmiley:

 

Weapons training in arnis is just the tip of the iceberg...

 

Tell your commie friend to do more research before making any dumbfounded and pointless comments regarding any art especially Arnis...

 

I fully agree with you sir. The sticks are just an extension of the hand. Lessons start out with the sticks, progress to knives and then empty hands. I study the Kali de Leon system here.

For those not familiar with arnis/escrima/kali some examples of close quarter combat employed can be seen in movies such as The Bourne series, resident evil, 300, The Hunted, Blade Trilogy, Chronicles of Riddick just to name a few. These were part of our demo presentation at the recent gun show held at Megamall last Nov. 14.

 

Might interest him to know that the Russian Spetsnaz are being trained by Filipino Arnisadors in hand to hand combat. Two of these guys are friends of mine.

Let us not belittle our own indigenous martial art.

It's very disappointing to hear other people belittle some forms of martial arts just coz they think they know better. They say that Kali or Arnis is ineffective if u don't have a stick w/ u or they say Taekwondo is useless coz it only uses kicks to strike. It's not the fighting style that matters but the way u handle a situation that counts. Like the old saying, "Sa nagdadala yan eh." Whether u r a MMA practitioner, a boxer, a Judoka, a Kickboxer, or a Karateka, all of ur training will be useless if u don't have the courage & wit to use ur style properly in a real life situation.

 

Just to share my experience, I was in some situations w/c would have ended up w/ me losing my life if not for my Taekwondo training. The first time was when I was held up by 3 thugs who had knives w/ them. The second time was when I was attacked by some guys whom I believe to be drunk. In both instances, I came out alive & is proud to say that my training paid off. I didn't use any high-flying, spinning or fancy kicks. Simple 45 & punch kicks were enough to send those thugs to the ground.

 

In real life situations, u don't aim for points or submission. When faced w/ someone who won't think twice in killing u, u go for those techniques w/c are most effective, no matter how simple they are. Quick & simple but strike hard! However, if ur mind doesn't know how to react in situations like that & fear gets the best of u, ur in deep trouble no matter what ur fighting style is.

Guys what do you think of this martial arts combo?

 

Kickboxing for offense + Aikido for defense

 

Kickboxing - Good variation of attacks

- has speed and power.

Aikido - Removes the strength gap between you and your opponent. It uses your enemy's attack strength against them.

- Executes powerful counter attacks.

- (difficult to master ;p)

If anyone is interested in learning Hsing I Chuan and/or Baguazhang, please PM me. There will be a seminar this coming May 14 & 15. I will provide details as requested.

 

Regards to all.

Your combo is good...

 

But if you ask me do MMA but focus on the art that you really love =)

 

As for me i know MMA But i focused on arnis and Karate (and kama sutra LOL)

 

Every discipline is great, theres no perfect one but if you use your chosen discipline properly it will help improve most of your life's aspect starting from the physical =P
